I'm not really sending a complaint. I just keep getting recall notices but this vehicle was totaled in a car accident in 2009 so the vehicle no longer exists. Please remove it from the recall list. Thank you.

After i pushed the seat back to allow more room between the steering wheel and the seat the airbag sensor light came on and has been on the entire time the car is driven. The airbags will not deploy and the car is now not safe to drive.

My father was involved in a crash with a 1997 chevy 1500 pickup while driving his 2005 honda civic. The damage to the honda is extensive. The driver's air bag did not deploy and his neck was broken.

On the date indicated, i was involved in a collision with an oncoming vehicle while making a left hand turn. The air bag did not deploy. The vehicle was declared a total loss by my insurer.

Have had front and passenger takata airbags removed and replaced a few years ago. But the (4-door) drivers side airbag and passenger side airbag (front only) have not been recalled, as far as my research tells me. The car, with approx. 55,000 miles on it, just sits in my driveway never used since. I had the expense and inconvenience of leasing a subaru forester to be safe. I cannot sell it because of the danger of…
