Takata recall, as I received 2 recall letters that has lied to me and keep giving me no time table on when it will be repaired, first letter I received was December 2017 it stated the airbags will be repaired in March 2018, then I received another letter the following month January 2018 the second letter now states it will be repaired sometime in September 2018, now I strongly believe I'm being stalled hoping that I will give up and impatient , hoping that I will turn in the vehicle and they wont have to worry about me down the road, both recall letters states the risk which is in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
