“I received a notice in the mail regarding my vehicle being recalled for an airbag part that won't be able to be repaired until mid summer of 2016. I was told I can get a rental vehicle but I'm only 18 and the vehicle is in my name only so I'm not curious as to how I can rent a vehicle. Please let me know!”
