“Takata recall - I was informed of a recall on the passenger side front airbag in july 2016 and instructed until this repair is performed, do not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat. This has been an extraordinary inconvenience not to mention I don't feel safe driving the vehicle with my 3 year old toddler in the backseat. In just over a week, it will be 4 months since this notification was made. I live in houston, texas, with high humidity with a 2010 vehicle - this makes the vehicle more susceptible to this failure. …”
