"TAKATA RECALL" WE TRAVELED TO LOUISIANA TO BURY OUR FAMILY MEMBER ON JULY 13, 2016. WHEN WE RETURNED HOME WE HAD A RECALL NOTICE WAITING FOR US (PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR). WE WERE CONFUSED BECAUSE WE HAD ALREADY HAD BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS WORKED ON FROM RECALLS. WE WERE TOLD THIS IS DIFFERENT, THIS IS A RECALL ON A RECALL. BASICALLY, THIS IS A INTERIM NOTICE AND THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVED A RESOLUTION TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG. THIS IS OUR OTHER MAIN VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORTATION. OUR OTHER VEHICLE IS OUR 2009 SCION XB WHICH IS ON RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WE ARE DISGUSTED. WE CAN NOT GET ANY DEADLINES, WE CAN NOT SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THIS PROBLEMS IS TAKING TOO LONG. WE NEED SOME ANSWERS AND WE NEED THEM, NOW. WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS, WE HAVE OUR MEDICAL ISSUES AND WE DEFINITELY DO NOT NEED THIS KIND OF STRESS AND INCONVENIENCE.

MY DASH IS FALLING APART. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THE BROKEN PIECES OF THE PLASTIC DASH WILL FLY AROUND PUTTING OUT AN EYE OR IMPALING SOMEONE. I FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE SAID THAT IT IS COSMETIC, I DISAGREE. IF IT WERE ON THE OUT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, I WOULD HAVE NO CONCERN. THE PROBLEM IS, IT'S INSIDE WHERE PEOPLE RIDE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES FROM THE BROKEN DASH TO GET A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, SO BE IT. GENERAL MOTORS FOUND OUT ABOUT PROCRASTINATING ON KNOWN PROBLEMS.

ON 9/9/2016 MY WIFE ENTERED OUR GARAGE TO GET SOMETHING AND FOUND THE GARAGE FILLED WITH EXHAUST FUMES DUE TO MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 ENGINE RUNNING. OBVIOUSLY, IT WAS PARKED WITHOUT ANYONE IN IT. HOWEVER, NO ONE HAD THE KEYS IN THEIR HANDS AND THERE WAS NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. IT RANDOMLY STARTED ON IT'S OWN. I FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE ABOUT IT RANDOMLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING DOORS, AND IT RANDOMLY HAVING ALL LIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS ONE, A RANDOM START WHEN PARKED IN A GARAGE COULD TURN FATAL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE.
