Example complaints

“Takata recall I get a letter every year that there is a recall but that the remedy is not available. There is no projection of when my remedy will be available. Meanwhile my vehicle has lower resale value, is getting older and I remain at risk. While 31% of at risk vehicles have received some kind of remedy, the rate of remedy appears to be slowing down. Five years after the recall, I might have a 50/50 chance of getting a remedy. I believe there is a good possibility that my vehicle will be in the junk yard before a remedy is offered. …”
