My son and fianc were just n a horrific accident in my fianc's chevy avalanche that caused the truck to roll and our friend, passenger in the vehicle, to ben killed. Now my special needs 10year old won't get in this new car because baby he's afraid since the airbag light is on it will cause us to get into a vehicle. I need a solid resolution to this asap!

“Takata recall - the nitro was in motion when the airbag light came on and when the white plastic strip came sticking out of my steering wheel column. Before the white plastic strip came sticking out behind the steering wheel, it sounded like something was rubbing or grinding every time I would turn the steering wheel. The ebs/bas light and the slippery when wet light also came on. Now the nitro was stationary when it won't start and it will click one time along with the dash board lights coming on and the windshield wipers will turn on automatically. …”
