TAKATA RECALL - AIRBAGS. RECEIVED A NOTICE IN APRIL 2016 FROM ACURA THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON AIRBAGS FOR MY AUTO DUE TO POSSIBLE INJURIES INCLUDING FATALITY SHOULD THEY IMPLODE. THE NOTICE ADVISED I WOULD BE NOTIFIED THIS SUMMER WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I HAVE YET TO BE NOTIFIED AND THE SAFERCAR.GOV WEBSITE INDICATES A REMEDY IS STILL NOT YET AVAILABLE AS OF 8.9.16 FOR MY VEHICLE. SO BASICALLY I HAVE HAD TO KNOWINGLY DRIVE AROUND IN DEATH TRAP FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS WITH MY FAMILY PRAYING WHAT IS SUPPOSE TO HELP SAVE OUR LIVES DOESN'T END UP KILLING US SHOULD WE BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THE AIRBAG AND AUTO MANUFACTURERS GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND CORRECT THIS.
