TAKATA RECALL: I GOT A NOTICE LAST MARCH THAT MY CAR HAD A DEFECT THAT COULD KILL OR INJURE PEOPLE IN THE CAR. I CALLED MY CAR DEALER - NOTHING'S AVAILABLE. I PUT IN MY VIN INTO YOUR DATABASE - NOTHING'S AVAILABLE BUT IT WILL BE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016. IT'S NOW JANUARY 2017. AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, I JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE OF A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SCANDAL. WHERE IS THE NEW AIR BAG? IN THE NOTE BELOW - YOU'RE ASKING ME TO DESCRIBE THE INJURY THAT TRIGGERED THIS NOTE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THANK GOD I HAVEN'T CRASHED YET SO NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED OR INJURED. AND I ASK, NOW THAT TAKATA HAS AGREED TO PAY THE GOVT $1B TO SETTLE THIS MATTER, HOW ABOUT PAYING FOR NEW AIR BAGS FOR THE PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO ARE IN JEOPARDY? GET ME A NEW AIR BAG NOW.

ACURA STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE AT MY DEALERSHIP IN ASHEVILLE, NC. WHEN I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21ST, 2016, TO SCHEDULE MY AIRBAG REPLACEMENT, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PARTS WERE STILL BACKORDERED, AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT ACURA/HONDA, KNOWING HOW MANY CARS ARE ON THE ROAD WITH THIS AIRBAG, HAS HAD ALL YEAR TO PRODUCE ENOUGH AIRBAGS AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, THE MEDIA HAS ONLY REPORTED THAT THE OWNERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AIRBAGS NOT BEING REPLACED YET. KNOWING HOW MANY DEATHS THE AIRBAGS HAVE CAUSED, ACURA SHOULD BE FORCED TO PRODUCE THE PARTS SO THAT ACURA AND HONDA OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT DYING WHILE DOING THEIR DAY-TO-DAY DRIVING. IF THE NHTSA IS TRULY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS, THEY SHOULD DO MORE TO PROTECT THEM INSTEAD OF LETTING ACURA TAKE THEIR SWEET TIME TO PRODUCE THEM AND RISKING MILLIONS OF LIVES WHILE BLAMING DRIVERS FOR NOT SCHEDULING A REPLACEMENT.
