Takata recall - I took my car in to hickory Mitsubishi in hickory, nc to get the airbag fixed. I picked up my car in the afternoon. It started to get dark about an hour later, so I turned my lights on. I have no interior lights on my car. I can't see my odometer, shift column,etc. I had to travel a significant distance to get this repair since there is no longer a Mitsubishi dealer where I live. Now I have to go all the way back there and sit for another 2. 5 hours while they try to figure out what they did to my electrical system. I'm not sure I want them to even touch my car again.

I am an owner of two Mitsubishi cars; one bought new at a mits. Dealer in tucson, az 11 years ago and the other bought just a couple of months ago at a used car lot in tucson, az. Yesterday, I received an 'important safety recall' notice for both cars via mail. It's recommended to take care of the recall of the passenger air bag, that is described as causing serious injury or death. Yet, there is currently no local dealer where I live. Therefore, I called the phone number listed on the notice to address my concern. I was told I'd have to travel to another city over 80 miles one way to have this remedied. This would be much too inconvenient, unlike the promised 'every effort to minimize inconvenience' the notice reference. Shouldn't they allow this to be done by a certified mechanic in the city of tucson where I purchased the cars and reside; it's not my fault that they've had maultiple dealerships close down here? I am very unhappy with mits. Right now for causing me to have fear and not helping with the problem they informed me of. . . Not sure what to do. . .
