“Takata recall - it has been over 8 months since I received the notice of the recall. Everytime I call the Jaguar number listed in the letter, I am told they have no idea of when they might be starting repairs. I don't want to wait until there is a fatality to get someone to fix this problem.”

“The passenger airbag does not properly work and the manufacturer refused to repair. My wife weighs approximately 100 pounds and the manufacturer claims the air bag is designed to not work for passenger 100 pounds or less. This is a serious safety issue and I would like NHTSA to investigate this very dangerous condition.”

“We were driving north on I-75 and exited at highway m-24. As we turned rt., the left front tire lost air pressure (lt. Front car tire was recently changed and not sure proper sealant was used when installing new tire) and the car suddenly shot to the left and we went over an embankment into a ditch for approx. 20 feet then shot up and over an expressway entrance ramp into a steel barrier. The seat belts were on both of us and the airbags deployed. We both suffered severe blunt force body trauma and had to be taken by ems to the local hospital. …”

“The passenger airbag works intermittently when my wife sits in the passenger seat. My wife weighs approximately 100 pounds. The manufacturer says that the passenger airbag is designed to not work for passengers 100 pounds or less and says that this serious safety issue to within their diagnostics. I believe that this issue is a serious safety issue and Jaguar refuses to correct the issue or return or replace the vehicle. The airbags on this vehicle have not been engineered correctly and Jaguar needs to be held accountable for their error. My wife refuses to drive as a passenger in this car. …”

“Takata recall. The front passenger airbag needs to be replaced asap due to potential for the module inflator housing to explode and deploy abnormally in the event of a crash resulting in sharp metal fragments striking the passengers. The Jaguar dealership advised they do not have stock of the necessary components to repair my vehicle. Parts are not expected to be available until 3/31/2019 which is over a year from now and that is unacceptable! Where can I go to have it fixed immediately?”
