“Takata recall:I was involved with a collision. I was crossing a two lane highway that was southbound, and I was going westbound crossing the other vehicle hit my front passenger side, both the passenger and the driver airbags deployed. I was in the car alone. When the plastic steering wheel cover partially popped off, and the airbag came out, the plastic cover cut my right hand 3rd finger, 80% severed the tendon and chipped the bone. Had to be surgically repaired. Date of the accident was 8/29/2016. That was my right hand. My left hand was bruised and scratched. …”

“Horn randomly goes off (like the alarm).at first it was at unlock, now it is also when driving at speed. Totally random. Today it went off in the driveway, at a parking lot, and then again when I was driving home. Took to a dealership last week, they could not locate a fault. 5 min on google and I saw many complaints on a foil that gets worn over time causing contact shorts in the horn assembly or pad...apparently a $1100 fix. This is a safety issue, and it is a faulty part, it should most certainly be a recall. I have only driven this car 31000 miles.”
