Tl* the contact owned a 2011 mazda cx-7. While driving 40 MPH, the steering wheel turned to the left and failed to maneuver without warning.

The driver's side air bags deployed over the top of the steering wheel and upwards toward the roof of the vehicle. The contact sustained a cracked chest plate, left shoulder ligament damage, a head concussion, and nerve and spinal damage. Medical attention was provided at the hospital.
"takata recall" issued may 25, 2016 and we were just notified august 12, 2016. Remedy not yet available and mazda suggest the vehicle should not be driven. We have not had an accident yet, but if we do, how can we not drive a car that we own?we have to work to pay bills. How many months, and/or deaths, until a remedy is available?
