TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN 10 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND EVERY INQUIRY I MAKE IS MET WITH "NO PARTS AVAILABLE". THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I LIVE IN SC WHICH, TO MY UNDERSTANDING, IS A PART OF THE COUNTRY WITH A HIGHER CAUSE FOR CONCERN.

TAKATA RECALL - HEARD NOTHING FROM ANYONE ON HOW TO GET THIS FIXED. MY HUSBAND IS ON ANTICOAGULANTS - IF IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THESE AIRBAGS HE COULD BLEED TO DEATH. WE NEED THIS FIXED IMMEDIATELY. WHO DO WE CONTACT AND HOW CAN WE ENSURE THIS IS DONE QUICKLY?
