Takata recall - I am still waiting for a replacement air bag for my Mazda 6. my car was part of the original recall last summer. It's been 8 months now, and the part is still not available. I received a recall letter that was absolutely terrifying and advised me that I should not use the passenger seat because if the air bag deployed it could seriously injure or kill me. This recall is really putting me at a disadvantage. I only have 1 car. I can't afford to buy another one, and I feel unsafe in this car. Not only do I not feel safe in my own car, my son has his driving permit, and I'm not able to teach him how to drive because I can't use the passenger seat. This is absolutely ridiculous. Something needs to be done to compensate those of us that are forced to deal with a car recall which is causing disruptions to our daily routine and delaying basic life lessons from occurring like student driver's education.
