AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL. I JUST RECEIVED A PAPER IN THE MAIL AND I'M READING IT AND IT SAYS AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. I LOOKED UP MY VEHICLE AND IT SAYS THERE WAS A RECALL FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS. I RECENTLY JUST CRASHED MY VEHICLE AND NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND I TRIED TO FIGHT WITH MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND ALL THEY SAID WAS 'YOU SIGNED A PAPER KNOWING THEY DIDN'T DEPLOY', WHAT WORLD WOULD SOMEONE BUY A VEHICLE KNOWING THEY DON'T DEPLOY?

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 40 MPH AND HAD TO COME TO BRIEF STOP AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I ALMOST GOT INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT DURING TRAFFIC. NOW EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND TRY TO BRAKE NOW IT SHAKES AND IS VERY UNSAFE. I THEN LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT SUBFRAME AND ENGINE CRADLE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT THAT IT MIGHT BREAK AT ANY MOMENT. I NO LONGER CAN DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY AND I NEED MY VEHICLE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK, WIFE'S WORK AND MY SONS SCHOOL. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT'S GOING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE AND NEEDS DONE IMMEDIATELY. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2006 HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAD TO BE RECALLED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 50000 MILES ON IT AND WAS GARAGE KEPT. SO I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. IT'S SO DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE KNOWN ABOUT. I WILL HAVE TO GET IT FIXED THIS WEEK AND IT WILL COST ME A FORTUNE. THANK YOU!

NOW MY CAR DRIVES AT MPH OVER 40 THAT THE CAR SHAKES AND WHEN I NEED TO BRAKE SUDDENLY THAT IT SHAKES HARD AND IS HARD TO CONTROL. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP AND THEY ARE GOING TO FIND THE PARTS AND REPLACE THEM. ALSO THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE LINKAGE ON SUBRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BROKEN AND HANGING LOWER.

TAKATA RECALL I CALLED THE NUMBER ON THE RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED IN THE MAIL.

WHEN I ARRIVE AT THE APPOINTMENT I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND WAS GIVEN A CARD TO CALL AND SHE IF THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND RESCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT. WE CALLED FOR A WEEK AND WAS GIVEN THE RU AROUND. SO WE TRIED A DIFFEREN LOCATION. WE CALLED MARIETTA AND PROVIDE THE CONTACT INFORMATION REQUESTED.
