WE WERE NOTIFIED EFFECTIVE JULY 2014 TO NOT HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT DUE TO FAULTY AIR BAGS. DUE TO THE SIZE AND MAKEUP OF OUR FAMILY, THIS MAKES OUR VEHICLE UNUSABLE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED. IT HAS BEEN 7 MONTHS SINCE WE FIRST BECAME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD TO BORROW OR RENT CARS WHILE WE WAIT FOR THIS TO BE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE WITH TOWING CAPACITY. WHEN CAN WE EXPECT REMEDY? I'M SURE THERE ARE FAMILIES IN MORE DIRE STRAITS THAN US.
