tr8er Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 That's why we drive Datsuns. No airbags=safe 2 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yep, my BMW has been under recall for quite some time now. Going in for replacement on the 5th. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 TAKATA finally owned up and admitted that they produced crap! So much for "continous product improvement" when it focuses on cheapening the production cycle without letting the customer know just what shortcuts have been taken. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Fuck airbags. I hate them. I've only owned one car with one, that was my '96 Miata. Had I a new steering wheel it would have been removed. I wish the government would stop trying to make us safer by requiring stupid safety equipment. Cars are dangerous, that should be taught more than, oh it's perfectly safe, the airbag will save you. It is interesting Subaru isn't listed in the cars affected. I wonder if they use a different supplier or just borrow parts from Nissan/Toyota? 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 My wife's Honda Pilot is under the recall. And not all maker's have been forced to supply the information yet. Be sure that damn near every manufacturer will be sullied by this. Quote Link to comment
