2010 is also the year we started seeing complaints about the power steering failing. Throttle and steering failure? Yeah, that’s why this is a clunker.

Takata recall. I am trading this car in today because it has been over 9 months since the recall, June 1, 2016, and I'm tired of making my husband sit in the back seat because I am fearful of the defective passenger airbag deploying. I was not given full value for my trade because there is still no remedy. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Takata recall - I received the safety recall in July of 2016 and still haven't received notice that there is a solution. I would not consider this "in a timely manner". this a serious safety issue and I don't feel safe driving in the car with my family members.

Long term recall notice NHTSA #16V384, manufacturer recall #16S26 (takata airbags), since June 2016 (possibly longer). There is still no remedy for this recall. Every day that this recall goes without repair could possibly mean that than many lives are lost in accidents related to this. When will there be a remedy?
