36 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/23/2014

No incident or accident. Just a request concerning the takata airbag recalls. The takata airbags are being replaced with another potentially defective takata airbag. Takata is uncertain as to the cause of the airbag explosions. They are still in the process of trying to understand the exact cause and there is no certainty that the problem has been fixed. I would like to ask the NHTSA to allow all vehicles with the takata airbags to deactivate the airbags until the exact cause is known and rectified. This could take years. But I would much rather drive with a deactivated airbag than a potentially explosive device that could kill me. It is my understanding there are no other airbags that are designed to Fit Honda cars. It is either another potentially defective takata airbag, or deactivation. Please give us that option until the problem has been completely investigated and we can be assured the replacement airbag is not defective,too. I am afraid to drive my car even though it has not yet been recalled. I am not at all reassured by a recall that replaces my airbags with more takata airbags. Takata admits it does not know the cause yet. I just want that airbag out of my car! please respond.
