“Takata recall-my vehicle has been in Acura (macchurchill) since february 23, 2016. They said it could take as long as until september before my vehicle is repaired. In addition, I recently discovered that my airbags had been previously deployed on this vehicle. I was never notified of this, nor did I sign an airbag disclosure statement form. The dealership states they are not required to have me sign this form.”
