5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2014

Takata recall -- it's been 2 years since the recall was issued, but the manufacturer / dealership do not seem to be able to get the parts to repair my car. This essentially renders my car unsafe, and in many ways, unusable. I still have not heard about a date by when the parts will be available / repair will be done.

6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2014

I was driving my car on lake shore drive and I hit a pot hole near lawrence Ave. I ended up getting flat on both of my right tires. It possibly bent my rim, suspension issues, and tire have been flat.
