TAKATA RECALL: I PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA CR-V IN FLORIDA IN JANUARY FOR MY DAUGHTER, JUST PRIOR TO THE RECALL BEING RELEASED. SHE HAD TO RETURN TO SCHOOL IN TEXAS WITHOUT THE CAR SINCE IT WAS UNSAFE FOR HER TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP IN FLORIDA WILL NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR FOR HER IN TEXAS BECAUSE THE HONDA IS IN FLORIDA. I HAVE NO MEANS TO GET THE HONDA TO A TEXAS DEALERSHIP AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. SO WE ARE STUCK WITH AN UNDRIVEABLE CAR, AND MY DAUGHTER HAS NO TRANSPORTATION. WE WERE TOLD THE AIRBAG COULD NOT BE REPLACED UNTIL "SUMMER". IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE?
