Takata recall has been outstanding since 2016. the risk specifically states: "the propellant in some types of takata airbag inflators can degrade over time, especially after long term exposure in hot and humid regions. if the propellant degrades to a certain level, the inflators may rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries." i live in a hot and humid area, and i have a family. i also have a reasonable expectation of safety and reliance upon this vehicle, and considering the cost of vehicles these days, seems like companies would show a bit more love and consideration for their customers. i panic every time i get in my vehicle, just out of worry of what might happen in the event of a collision.

I love my truck. the only thing that is unsatisfying is my cracked dash from the left side to the right of the truck. the air bag light flashes due to the sides wall and dash board air bag is coming out.i would hate to hit a squirrel and it the air bag pops. i have one window that refuses to come down and last but not least, the dang cruise control only sets after 80mph. i hve to pray everyday not to get a speeding ticket in low speeding areas and the dash board with the sharp edges will not cause more injuries than the airbag if i'm ever in an accident. please come to some type of agreement foe a recall to fix this matter. pretty truck outside but the inside clean, crack, and broke up as is it was a fight inside.help help help bring it back to life
