AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL- I HAD A ACCIDENT WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHICH CAUSED AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. INJURIES INCLUDED FACIAL CUT TO CHIN REQUIRING EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL STITCHES, A CONCUSSION, BLACK EYE AND OTHER CUTS ( HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT COULD NOT BE UPLOADED DUE TO SIZE) TAKATA INFORMED ME I MAY HAVE CLAIM. I FILLED OUT THERE FORMS ONLY TO BE DENIED THREE TIMES, THE LAST ONE DUE TO MY VEHICLE NOT ON RECALL LIST. MY QUESTION IS WHY IS MY VEHICLE NOT ON RECALL WHEN I HAVE SUFFERED THE EXACT INJURY'S FROM THE AIR BAG AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. THANK YOU.

THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE ON A BAD ROAD DISCLOSE THEY CANT HEAR ANYTHING. TOOK IT BACK AGAIN THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIND NOTHING EVEN TO THE BRAKE NOISE THAT THEY SAID WAS A PART OF HOW THE VEHICLE WAS MADE. THEY TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HAVE IT FOR TWO DAYS THEN PRETEND TO WORK ON IT THEN GIVE IT BACK TO YOU AND NEVER FIND ANYTHING. THEN YOU THE CUSTOMER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THESE ANNOYING UNSAFE EXPERIENCES.
