TAKATA RECALL .I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS TRAVELING VEHICLE SO IT WOULD NORMALLY BE ON HIGHWAYS AT OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR. QUESTION WOULD I BE SAFER TO HAVE THIS DISCONNECTED? WHO COULD DO THIS. I LIKE MOST PEOPLE CAN NOT AFFORD TO TRADE VEHICLES AND REALLY WOULD RATHER NOT. NOW THE CASE IS SETTLED WIT TAKATA. THAT'S JUST GREAT BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IF I PAID TO HAVE IT REPLACED CAN I GET REIMBURSED AT SOME POINT. .NOW THE CASE IS SETTLED I EXPECT SOME MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO SUPPLY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE. WHAT WOULD YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION BE AS TO HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE FOR THE VEHICLES TO BE REPAIR. HOW MUCH LESS IS MY VEHICLE WORTH AT THIS POINT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. YOU KNOW THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION, WELL THIS IS JUST ANOTHER CASE THAT WE NEED SOMEONE TO LOOK OUT FOR US SINCE COMPANIES ARE GREEDY AND WILLING TO PROVIDE FALSE DATA TO DOWN STEAM MANUFACTURES TO SUPPLY THEM PRODUCTS. SUGGESTION TO MOTIVATE REPAIRS : CUT SALARIES OF TOP 20 EXECUTIVES TO 1/3 OF THEIR PAY UNTIL ALL VEHICLES REPAIRED. THIS WILL GET THEIR ATTENTION. FINING THE COMPANIES DOES NOT EFFECT THE EXEC.S AS MUCH AS DIRECT FINANCIAL IMPACT WOULD ON THEIR LIVELY HOOD. THEY MAKE THE DECISIONS THIS WOULD MAKE THEM MORE DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND SERVICE

THE REAR HATCH WAS OPENED WITH THE AUTOMATIC BUTTON, IT RAISED TO THE OPEN POSITION. AS I WAS PUTTING IN OUR STROLLER THE HATCH FELL AND STRUCK ME IN THE HEAD. I PUSHED THE HATCH UP TO GET FROM UNDERNEATH IT, AND WHEN I LET GO IT FELL WITH NO RESISTANCE. WHILE FALLING SHUT THE HATCH HIT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE BUMPER CUT OUT AND SLIGHTLY BENT THE HATCH AND SCRATCHED THE INSIDE OF THE BUMPER. THE HATCH WOULD NO-LONGER OPEN AFTER THAT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FORCED THE DOOR OPEN SO I COULD RETRIEVE ARTICLES FROM THE REAR. I A CHILD OR SHORTER PERSON WAS UNDER THE HATCH IT MAY HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY TO THEM, DUE TO THE FORCE WITH WHICH THE HATCH CAME DOWN. *TR
