"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DEALER HAS TOLD ME AIR BAG WAS COMPLETED, IT WAS SOLD TO ME WITH AN OPEN ENTRY OR QUESTIONABLE COMPLETION. UPON DRIVING THE CAR I FOUND IT FELT SHAKY & WAS TOLD THEY WOULD FIX ANY PROBLEMS HOWEVER NOW THAT I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TWICE AND IT HAS STAYED THERE OVER A WEEK, AND THEN TAKEN HOME (WITHOUT MY APPROVAL) BY SERVICE MANAGER, WHEN I STILL COMPLAINED THAT IT DOESN'T FEEL SO STABLE AND MAYBE WE SHOULD CALL OFF THE DEAL OR TRADE FOR ANOTHER CAR, I WAS TOLD.."DEAL IS DONE, THE CAR IS YOURS, WE'VE SPENT $$ TO FIX THINGS". MY RESPONSE WAS "WHATEVER ITEMS DONE WERE ITEMS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE PRE-SALE AND WERE AGREED TO BE DONE". THE AXLE ENDED UP BEING BAD AND SOMETHING STILL FEELS LIKE THE CAR STAGGERS HOWEVER I GOT TIRED OF COMPLAINING. I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE THAT I'M DRIVING A SAFE CAR AND THAT IT WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AS NOW I OWE A LOAN & HAVE BEEN DRIVING CAR. MY MAIN CONCERN HAS ALWAYS BEEN SAFETY. I BROUGHT ALL THIS TO THE TABLE PRE PURCHASE. I BROUGHT CAR IN AGAIN BECAUSE IT WAS SHAKY, STRUGGLING & STAGGERING TO GO UP HILL, WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE, AND WAS HAVING A BURNT SMELL. WHAT THEY FOUND WAS BAD AXLE AND SOMETHING WITH ROTOR (WHICH WAS NOT CAUGHT ON FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IN THAT IT SPENT A WEEK THERE). CAR FAX DID NOT INDICATE ACCIDENT BUT DRIVABILITY SEEMS QUESTIONABLE. I BOUGHT CAR 12/31/17, BROUGHT BACK IN FIRST WEEK TO COMPLETE THE OPEN ITEMS (ONE BEING THE AIR BAG ISSUE) I BROUGHT ALL CONCERNS UP PRE-PURCHASE W/AGREEMENT THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF ALL. I BROUGHT IT IN & IT REMAINED ABOUT A WEEK. PICKED UP 01/13/18. HAD TO BRING IN AGAIN 01/30/18 DUE TO STAGGERING & BURNT SMELL. PICKED UP 2/02/18 & WHEN I BROUGHT UP THAT I THINK WE SHOULD JUST TRADE CAR AS I FELT MAYBE I GOT BURNED, THEY SAID: CAR IS YOURS, YOU BOUGHT IT (IN A NUTSHELL). I HAVE ALL EMAILS OF CONCERNS BROUGHT UP. JUST WANT TO BE SURE.
