Takata recall upon starting my vehicle to go to work i noticed that my airbag and seatbelt indicator were both on. i fastened my seatbelt and both indicators still stayed on. i proceeded to drive my vehicle to work and they were still on when i made it to work. when i came out for lunch break and started my vehicle they were off, but they continue to periodically come on and stay on even with both the driver and passenger seatbelts buckled. i called huffines of lewisville and they told me that indicators were probably related to the current recall however they stated they could not repair my vehicle because they have not received the parts from the recall but if i wanted to bring my vehicle in and pay for a diagnostic and the repairs they would be more than happy to repair my vehicle. they went on to say that the recall has affected millions and to date there is no resolution for consumers. please help!

Takata recall. i am extremely concerned with this recall, and how there is no remedy available. i am very uncomfortable driving my car, especially since i live in florida, and the high humidity and temperatures can make this issue even worse. i have tried to trade my car in on a new one, and many dealerships are unwilling to accept it as a trade because of the recall, meaning they would be unable to re sell the vehicle. i now feel like i am stuck with a vehicle that is completely unsafe to drive, putting myself and my family at a high risk of danger. *tr
