Consumer Description
TAKATA RECALL: MY PASSENGER FRONT SEAT AIRBAG IS FAULTY AND THAT HAS BEEN IMPLICATED IN A NUMBER OF INTERMITTENT, UNEXPLAINED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND A CONSTANT "PARASITIC DRAIN" ON MY BATTERY REQUIRING A REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR AND 2 BATTERIES, SO FAR. ALSO I HAVE BEEN LIMITED IN PERFORMING DUTIES OF MY JOB WHICH REQUIRES TRANSPORTATION OF OTHERS WHO (FOR MEDICAL NEEDS) NEED TO BE IN THE FRONT SEAT FOR OBSERVATION. THEREFORE I HAVE SUFFERED A FINANCIAL LOSS AS WELL. I DROVE THIS VEHICLE FOR 5 YEARS, TRANSPORTING MY OWN CHILDREN IT THE FRONT SEAT BEFORE I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE. I WAS TOTALLY UNAWARE OF THE DEADLY POTENTIAL DANGER I EXPOSED MY CHILDREN FOR HOURS EVERYDAY. I AM NOW SUFFERING FROM GUILT, FEAR AND SHAME FOR BEING UNABLE TO CONFIDENTLY PROTECT MY CHILDREN FROM DANGERS THAT WERE WELL KNOWN TO FORD & TAKATA FOR MANY YEARS, BUT KEPT SECRET FROM THE PUBLIC. I HAVE SUFFERED EMOTIONAL STRESS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE-SIMILAR TO PTSD - FROM THIS SITUATION.
