Subaru is unable to repair my vehicle for almost a month, I use my vehicle for work and this recall is potentially deadly.
Takata recall- I was driving in the slow (right side) of the freeway going about 68 mph (between 65-70), there was a small amount of traffic. There was an extra lane (temporary 3 lane for entrance, but normal 2 lane freeway) to my right and I began merging (or possibly swerved from looking over shoulder. . . And a bee flew into me while I was driving also causing me to swerve a bit). I ended up in the fast (left) lane that was going slower due to an unknown reason. . . Which caused me to slam on the breaks, but I rear ended the car in front of me at an angle (my driver side front to their passenger side back) because I swerved back into the luckily empty spot next to me, but it wasn't fast enough to not hit the car in front of me. I didn't see my exact speed when I hit the car but I was going over the documented (on previous page) speed that the airbag should have deployed with the amount of impact our cars struck. . . This vehicle was going less than 20 mph and I was going somewhere between 50-60 mph and the impact was all on the front driver side so from what I've been reading that the airbag should have gone off. . . . Especially since I had the recall fixed/serviced in December 2018, where I had to bring the car back to the dealership about an hour later because some "hosing" wasn't correctly reinstalled. So I'm curious if anything else wasn't installed correctly that caused the airbag not to go off. I had just taken full coverage off my insurance to save money three days prior to the accident because I am in the moving process-now with no coverage to my damage (which my insurance quoted around 2900$ had I had full coverage still), as well as medical insurance for myself and I spent about 8 hours in the er. Which also won't be covered. I am not 100% certain of how the accident occurred because I wasn't sure why traffic was slowed so suddenly; the airbags should have gone off?.
Takatata airbag recall I received a letter stating the tk holdings inc. Was filing a chapter 11 and doing an airbag recall that may affect my car. I looked it up on airbagrecall. Com and was then directed to this website. There is no exterior damage to the car nor was it damaged at all while driving. This is all to check if I need my airbags replaced.

Takata recall. I received a notice months ago that my vehicle is affected by the airbag recall. The notice states that currently, parts are unavailable and that Subaru is in the process of acquiring parts necessary to perform the repair. I am still waiting to see when parts will be available. Any idea when this is going to happen?.
Takata recall. Subaru issued notice in July that the vehicle was not safe and would be repaired, but now has not followed up. I called the number listed on their website and with the NHTSA today to follow up (during their listed business hours). The message states they are closed and disconnects my call. They have not taken measures to repair the vehicle and will not answer my call.

Takata recall. Subaru dealership has been unable to estimate when the remedy will be available, more than two months after notifying me of the defect with the takata-sourced passenger side frontal air bag. In the meantime, we are told not to allow passengers in the front passenger seat. The loss of passenger capacity is disruptive to the transport of my family and a school carpool. I believe Subaru is obligated to tell customers exactly when these vehicles will again be safe.
Takata recall: was told it could take up to a year for the parts to become available. What is the approved timeline. How can I remedy this faster.

The passenger air bag on my new 2008 Subaru Impreza hatchback which I purchased July 27, 2008 is set for a 125 pound person according to the dealer. My wife weighs between 120 and 130 pounds so the bag goes on and off intermittently and randomly.
