Takata recall, vehicle owner took vehicle to local garage to have shifter cable replaced, tech opened hood to disconnect battery heard a click and then a load noise, looked in car and found all air bags in seats, seat belts and roof had deployed, ran VIN and found that the takata airbag recall was never completed.
While driving 45 mph (posted speed limit) on a single lane public road I was forced to make a quick evasive maneuver to go around a small truck stopped on road looking to make a left turn, and drove over raised earth that was alongside road shoulder. Both side airbags ( passenger and driver) deployed even though car was never in an accident.
September of 2014 my airbag light came on. I called dealership. Dealership stated it was a bad sensor that could be replace and that there was no danger driving with the bad sensor.
