TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL FROM SUBARU FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG BUT THE RECALL ACTION IS WHOLLY INADEQUATE. THEY SAY IT WILL BE ONE YEAR BEFORE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE (MARCH 2018) AND UNTIL THEN DON'T LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. ARE THEY SERIOUS? THAT COMPLETELY DESTROYS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE FOR RESALE AND RENDERS IT FAIRLY USELESS FOR MOST TRANSPORTATION AS I FREQUENTLY HAVE A PASSENGER. TRIED CALLING SUBARU BUT THEY SIMPLY TOOK MY PHONE NUMBER BY AUTOMATED RESPONSE AND HAVE NOT CALLED BACK.

BOUGHT USED WITH 46K MILES ON IT. BRAKES HAVE BEEN WEAK EVER SINCE I GOT IT. HAS NEVER CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT SURE HAS HAD ME WORRIED ABOUT GETTING STOPPED NUMEROUS TIMES. DEALERS BLOW ME OFF WHEN I ASK ABOUT FIXING IT. MAYBE PREMIUM PADS? I THINK IT'S THE HYDRAULICS THAT ARE WEAK, DON'T KNOW IF PADS WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THIS IS STRAIGHT STOPS FROM ALL SPEEDS.

TAKATA RECALL: I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS RECALL IS INCOMPLETE. MY COMPLAINT HAS TO DO WITH SUBARU'S FAILURE TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE PROBLEM. MY INSURANCE COMPANY RECENTLY SUGGESTED I CHECK FOR TAKATA RECALLS FOR MY SUBARU. I WAS SURPRISED BY TWO THINGS; 1) WHEN I LOGGED IN TO THE OWNER SECTION OF THE SUBARU WEBSITE (MYSUBARU), UNDER RECALLS SUBARU INDICATED THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. I WAS GLAD TO KNOW THAT. 2) HOWEVER, I DECIDED TO CLICK ON THE "VIEW ALL RECALLS" BUTTON BELOW IT, AND WAS TAKEN TO A PAGE WHICH CLEARLY SHOWED THE OPEN TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL, SINCE JULY OF 2016. TO DECEIVE THE CUSTOMER BY SAYING THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS, AND THEN TO DISCOVER NOT ONLY THE RECALL, BUT THE FACT THAT I HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED IN THE SEVEN MONTHS SINCE IT WAS LISTED, IS WRONG IN MY OPINION. IN THOSE MONTHS, I HAVE HAD A VARIETY OF PEOPLE RIDE IN THAT PASSENGER SEAT. I WOULD HAVE HAD THEM SIT IN THE BACK IF I HAD KNOWN OF THE RECALL. FOR SUBARU NOT TO INFORM OWNERS IS TO PLAY FAST AND LOOSE WITH THE SAFETY AND LIVES OF OCCUPANTS. SUBARU CLAIMS TO HOLD SAFETY AS THEIR HIGHEST COMMITMENT. THIS KIND OF ACTION DOES NOT CONVINCE ME OF THAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOOD WORK AT NHTSA IN HOLDING MANUFACTURERS AND SUPPLIERS TO PROPER STANDARDS FOR AUTOMOBILE SAFETY. AND THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THIS AVENUE FOR OWNERS TO EXPRESS CONCERNS.
