TAKATA RECALL I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO REGARDING MY VEHICLE'S DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIR BAGS. MY VEHICLE IS A 2010 MUSTANG. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AND ALSO FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND GET THE SAME RESPONSE FROM ALL - THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE MY DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE TO WAIT? I LIVE IN THE HUMID MIDWEST ST. LOUIS AREA AND MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY GARAGE SINCE LAST MAY WHEN I RECEIVED THE NOTICE OF THE RECALL BECAUSE I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF BEING KILLED BY MY DEFECTIVE AIR BAG SHOULD I HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHY CAN'T WE FORCE TAKATA TO PAY FOR A COMPANY IN THE UNITED STATES TO MANUFACTURE AIR BAGS THAT DON'T EXPLODE AND SEND SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS FLYING AT THE CARS' OCCUPANTS? AND NOW I'M LEARNING TAKATA MANIPULATED AND ALTERED TESTING DATA EVEN AFTER THE RECALLS BEGAN AND DEATHS HAD OCCURRED. SIMPLY SHAMEFUL AND UNACCEPTABLE. U.S. VEHICLE OWNERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO TRUST THEIR VEHICLES ARE SAFE AND WHEN/IF A PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH IS DISCOVERED, THAT PROBLEM SHOULD BE REMEDIED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HAVE SIGNED UP FOR YOUR EMAILS WITH NEWS OF ANY UPDATES ON THE TAKATA AIR BAGS BUT ALL THE NEWS I'M RECEIVING IS DISHEARTENING BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF VEHICLES ON THIS RECALL BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT ONE - MINE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE. *TR
