Takata recall- my service airbag light recently came on shortly after starting the vehicle. This is the second time this problem has occurred over the past two summers. The first time this problem occurred I brought my vehicle to the dealership where they preformed a airbag scan. I was told no codes were present. The airbag light was then reset and I haven't had any issues until recently. I have read about the known potentially deadly issues associated with the passenger airbag deflators. I live in houston TX where the summers hot and humid. I have read that these areas are at greater risk due to issues arising in hot and humid climates. I plan on bringing my car back to the dealership soon. I'm sure I will be told that since the recall is pending I will be responsible for paying for the repairs. I'm a father of two. . . Does takata want families to role the dice with loved ones lives while paperwork is filed or parts become available??? how many lives have to be lost before there is a solution to this recall?.
My airbag light turned on about 9 months ago, I took it to the car dearship and they advise that the airbag infact have a recall, but they dont have the fix. What is this? how can I pay so much for a vehicle to drive unsave, that at any minute they could deflate, or if something happens I could be killed in an accident, because of their malfunction. I need a resolution on this matter ASAP. I have 2 kids and I drive 1 hour to work and back six days a week.
