Takata recall - we received a recall notice in may. We live in SC. The nearest SAAB dealer to us is in jacksonville, FL.

13 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2016

I received this recall notice in may of 2016. The recall was actually in February of 2016. I am being told now that the parts will not be available until some time in the first quarter of 2017. The recall states the issue may "result in injury or death to vehicle occupants". Because of this I will not have anyone in my family drive this car. I can no longer be without this car and feel it is only right that we are provided a fully paid rental car until ours can be properly repaired. This recall is #15041.
