“I had a takata driver side airbag recalled and replaced. Several months ago, perhaps a year, I received via mail a recall notice for the passenger airbag; however, there were no available parts to fix it. I haven't received any further information. I'm wondering what the status is? How do I get this repaired etc. Should I have the airbag disabled? Will anyone even perform that service?”

“My car was standing still waiting for oncoming traffic to clear so I could turn left. I was hit hard from behind, sending me into the opposite lane where I was hit head on by another car. My air bag did not deploy and my shoulder harness failed to function. My car sustained far more damage than the other two cars involved. (my car was a total loss.) their air bags deployed properly.”

“On december 11, 2019, my son was about to leave for work when the horn starting blowing in the car and wouldn't stop. The car was stationary. After about 4 minutes it stopped. I took the car to supreme chevrolet in plaquemine where I purchase the car from. The car was checked out and told that I was going to need another horn, they had ordered one and it should be in in about 3 days. When I went to the service area to pick up the car, the guy told me that the horn and airbag had been taken out and they had put something around the stirring wheel to hold it down until the horn can be replaced. …”
