“Takata recall. Called dealership and ordered passenger airbag parts on july 7th, and again on july 20th when they said my first call was not in the system. I called again on august 20th and they said there was no time in the future when this would be fulfilled. This is our only vehicle, and we do not have room to drive safely in it.”
