TAKATA RECALL. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE MY RIGHT HAND WAS ON THE 2 O'CLOCK POSITION. I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET, AND HIT A CAR THAT STOPPED SUDDENLY IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS LIKE A BOMB BLAST ONTO MY WRIST, FORCEFULLY BLASTING OUT ACID AND AIR OR WHATEVER'S IN THAT AIRBAG. I HAVE A TRAUMA INJURY AND CHEMICAL BURNS ON MY WRIST. THERE ARE CHEMICAL BURN HOLES ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD AS WELL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT MY BEADED BRACELET HAD PUNCTURED MY WRIST. ONE BURN LOOKED LIKE A CIGARETTE BURN, AND WITHIN 2 HOURS THE BURN HOLE SKIN TURNED PITCH BLACK. OTHER BLISTERS FORMED AS THE HOURS WENT BY. THE NEXT MORNING (THANKSGIVING) I WENT TO URGENT CARE AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. THEY SAID IT WAS CHEMICAL BURN INJURIES, WHICH I AM NOW TREATING. IT IS EXTREMELY PAINFUL. I DID FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND THERE IS A POLICE REPORT, BUT THE ACCIDENT WAS ONLY 3 DAYS AGO. I DECLINED MEDICAL ATTENTION AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, AS I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY A SIMPLE BRUISE, AND AT THAT TIME DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE AIRBAG VENT WAS BY MY WRIST, AND THAT I HAD CHEMICAL INJURIES.

TAKATA RECALL. ACURA NOTIFIED US THAT OUR ACURA RDX WAS BEING RECALLED FOR AIR BAG REPLACEMENT IN MARCH 2016--SEE ATTACHED PDF OF RECALL LETTER. WE CONTACTED MARIN ACURA, THE DEALER WHICH SOLD US THE CAR, ON THE SAME DAY WE RECEIVED THE LETTER TO MAKE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL/AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. THEY NOTIFIED US THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL "EARLY SUMMER". WE HAVE FOLLOWED UP FREQUENTLY BUT HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY TOLD PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE WITH NO ESTIMATE OF AVAILABILITY. MARIN ACURA IS GENERALLY RESPONSIVE, FUNNELING ALL CALLS TO ONE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO IS GENERALLY UNAVAILABLE AND DOES NOT RETURN CALLS. THE RECALL REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN MADE OVER 4 MONTHS LATER, AND NO ASSURANCE OF FUTURE AVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN MADE. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT REPORTS OF INJURY OR DEATH RISK, BUT ACURA/MARIN ACURA HAVE TAKEN NO STEPS TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER AND WE ARE LEFT IN LIMBO.

TAKATA RECALL I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO RECOMMENDED THAT I STAY IN THE VEHICLE AS THERE IS REALLY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THAT THEY ARE JUST BEING CAREFUL HOWEVER THERE IS NO REAL NEED TO STOP DRIVING MY VEHICLE. THEY STATED IF I STILL FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE, THEY WILL ONLY OFFER ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION BUT NOTHING CLOSE TO THE LEVEL OF AN ACURA. IF I WANT A LUXURY CAR THAT IS COMPARABLE I WILL HAVE TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE MYSELF. I DO HOWEVER HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY MY LEASE FOR A CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. ACURA IS PUTTING THE COMPLETE BURDEN ON THEIR CUSTOMERS AND WILL NOT BUDGE, OR PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL HELP TO REMEDY THIS UNFORTUNATE SITUATION. I HOPE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE IN A SITUATION THAT LEAVES ME WONDERING WHERE THERE IS JUSTICE FOR THE CONSUMER. I HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE? PLEASE HELP AS I HONESTLY FEEL COMPLETELY CHEATED
