Takata recall . I was in a car acciendt on june 8, 2017 and my air bags did not work while I was in motion as I was being hit on the highway by another car and under my credit karma profile , its shows my car has five recall notices . How can this matter be resolved. I also have insurance papers to prove I filed a insuarce claim.
Takata recall - I contacted the local dealer and they said that Nissan isn't providing a replacement airbag until at least march or april of 2018. My college student drives this car in florida where she goes to school it's humid in florida and the information I've read states humidity can cause the airbag to deploy. Waiting for a replacement for 3-4 months isn't sufficient.
My vehicle was stopped. Vehicle was then struck from the rear by a vehicle and then also was impacted in the front without air bags ever deploying. *tr
