THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY ON MY CAR THAT STARTED ON OCTOBER 1, 2016. WHEN I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE IN OCTOBER IT SAID THAT THERE WAS NO CURRENT REMEDY. IT'S NOW DECEMBER AND THERE STILL IS NO REMEDY WHICH MEANS THAT THE PROBLEM WON'T BE FIXED IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS. IF OUR LIVES ARE AT RISK BECAUSE A CAR COMPANY CAN'T GET OFF ITS [XXX] AND FIX THIS, THEN THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO INTERVENE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE IN THE BACK OF MY MIND I KNOW THAT IT MIGHT NOT PROTECT ME COMPLETELY IF I GET IN A CRASH WHICH SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW. *TR INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
