What owners wrote
On june 25, 2016 I was the driver and was in a accident the airbag deployed and cut my left forearm open. Was treated at hospital and they glued it together.
Takata air bag. It has been over a year that the recall has been out and the dealer tells me that they do not have a replacement air bag to install. And they do not know when it will be addable. What am I to do with this safety problem?
