Consumer Description

NO " TAKATA RECALL?" FOR MY 2004 HONDA CRV W/ FAULTY DRIVER + PASSENGER AIRBAGS?! THIS CAR SHOULD DEFINATELY BE ON THAT RECALL LIST BUT IS NOT!! WHY? ! I PURCHASED MY 2004 ONLY 9 MONTHS AGO FROM A DEALER. I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY APPROACHING A RED LIGHT GOING APPROX 35- 40 MPH WHEN MY 2004 HONDA CRV HIT THE REAR OF ANOTHER CAR. MY DRIVER AIRBAG NEVER OPENED TO PROTECT ME YET MY PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATED!? IRONICALLY, I WAS ALONE WITH NO PASSENGERS! BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS FAILED ME & WERE FAULTY! I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND I WAS LUCKY TO GET OUT OF MY CAR ALIVE! I DON'T KNOW IF FAULT LIES WHOLLY WITH HONDA AND/OR TAKAKA OR W/ THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THIS CAR? UNFORTUNATELY, I NOW OWN AN $8000 "TOTALED" CRV SITTING IN A JUNKYARD AND I'M W/O TRANSPORTATION TO MY JOB!
