Takata recall. I was turning left when I was struck by a car going in the opposite direction. According to police the impact was at 01-1 o'clock. . My car was spun into the guard rail causing damage to left front and rt rear of my car. The seat belt latch failed and released the seat belt and the front air bag did not deploy. There is substantial damage to the interior of my car ,steering column , gear shift ,etc. I sustained rather severe neck injuries which I believe would have reduced or eliminated if the safety systems had operated.

Takata recall recognition
"takata recall" received letter from subara of america, inc. 3/24/17 in reference to recall. Instructed to take vehicle to local dealership for repair. Took vehicle next day to dealership, which stated they had repair parts and made an appointment for repairs within a week. The day before scheduled appointment, service dept. Phoned me and said that they didn't have the repair parts. I have made attempts to contact the service dept with promises of a call back, which never materialize. I believe that since the vehicle was not purchased at this dealership, I am being overlooked. This recall effects my wife who has walking problems and must ride in the front passengers seat. Dealership offers a loaner car for these recalls, but never returns my calls to my cell phone.
Takata recall: I am writing to make a formal complaint against subaru of america, inc. And their dealerships, regarding their failure to fulfill their responsibilities as part of the takata recall (the federal safety agency campaign: 17v-014000). My local subaru dealership, downtown subaru of oakland, california, has refused to provide either service or a loaner vehicle, in accordance with the federal safety agency's mandated responsibilities of manufacturers and their dealerships for this recall. I am unable to operate my car without a person in the front passenger seat, where the defective airbag is installed, because my wife and I share one car and have two infant car seats installed in the rear of the car.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2012 subaru forester. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 17v014000 (air bags); however, the part for the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. Parts distribution disconnect.
Takata recall--just received a notice today in the mail, march 20, 2017, from subaru that my forester has a defective "passenger side frontal airbag containing...ammonium nitrate." I am advised in this letter of the danger this presents, and that "parts are not available at this time" and might not be available until december." I am advised, "until this repair is performed, do not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat." how ridiculous is that???? For a period of possibly nine months, no one can sit in the front passenger seat. Surely, the car companies can do better than this. I've been in touch with my dealership. They (no surprise) will have to get back to me. This is ridiculous and unacceptable, and I'm a fan of subarus.
I received the recall letter from subaru america, who described terrifying consequences about their defective passenger side airbag. However, what they could do at the moment is just to advice not letting anyone ride on that side before repair. There was not even a deadline for such a repair. This is so disappointing since there is no way to fit my family into the back seats. The reality is that subaru is still producing new vehicles with competent airbags everyday. The company really should consider the feelings of their current owners and treat them better!
Me and my 12 year old daughter were driving 20mph down a small hill,a lady pulled out in front of us,I hit the brakes,which locked up and we slid so I let off them immediately,the roads were icy and snowy,so we gained a lot of velocity,we missed hitting her but went sideways,a little airborn and hit a telephone pole.I violently struck my head off the drivers side window,and my shoulder and arm were pinched between my body and the door.the tires popped,the front bumper clips broke.we both suffered seat belt bruises,and my daughter slammed her knee.I hurt my shoulder pretty bad and my head still hurts they are doing cat scans.my air bag on my drivers side door,where it struck the pole never deployed.I just thank god it did not hit on her side.but we were defiantly going fast enough to deploy that side curtain air bag it bent the door and the rocker sill the thought of it not going off is very scary and a big malfunction,I've been having enough problems with the brakes,seatbelts,car not running properly,and a bunch of other issues I really did not need this and I really feel that this is a huge safety problem that can kill someone and we were very lucky,when I contacted subaru I got the usual run around.not a happy customer.needs someone to intervene like you.
