Takata recall, intermittently when starting the car the service airbag light will come on, this started at about 50,000 miles. Usually if the car is turned off and restarted the message will disappear. Occasionally, while the car is in motion the message will appear. It usually clears if the car is stopped and restarted. Until I started researching, I thought it was just an electrical glitch. Now I realize it's a real safety issue. Thank god, I haven't had a major collision, my airbags might not deploy. This year model should definitely be included in the recall. My car now has 95,000 miles on it. I don't even feel comfortable selling this car with these issues. I wouldn't want to endanger other families.

A semi tire bounced and hit the front of my car and cracked my grill. My hazard lights popped on, my dome lights came on, and seatbelts locked up and car filled with smoke.

"takata recall" my airbag light came on for no reason, it cost me 105.00 at staffilino chevrolet for them to tell me I have an internal short in the passenger presence module and it will cost me 656.00 to have it fixed. I saw where the takata recall will not be complete until 2019. This does not help now and I would like to be added to the recall now. The vehicle has never been wrecked and this light came on out of nowhere
