“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. …”

“Takata recall- purchased a 2015 RDX in october. I asked if the airbag was a takata and was told that it was not. Today, I got a safety recall telling me that I cannot drive the car, it could kill me. I have also been told that the car will have to sit for at least 4 months until they can get the part to replace it, however I will still have to pay my almost 600.00 car payment.”
