“"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND! TELL YOU THAT RIGHT OFF THE BAT. REASON FOR THIS CONTACT IS THAT NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT CARS WITH SIDE IMPACT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS MADE BY TAKATA! I BRING THIS UP HERE BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A PLACE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM TO YOU WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT! I HAVE NO PERSONAL INJURY EITHER! I DO NOT WANT ONE WITH THESE TAKATA SIDE AIRBAGS EITHER! NOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I AM USING THIS SITE TO REPORT THIS POSSIBLE PROBLEM LET ME TELL YOU WHY I AM DOING THIS. AS I SAID I HAVE A CHRYSLER 300 2008 YEAR CAR THAT HAS HAD BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT TAKATA AIRBAGS REPLACED BY THIS RECALL BY CHRYSLER. NICE JOB BY YOU FOR THIS! STILL WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CHRYSLER 300 NEW IT CAME WITH THE PROTECTION GROUP OPTION! THE THING THAT IS IN THIS OPTION THAT IS OF CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT IT COME WITH THE SIDE IMPACT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS! WHEN THIS CAR HAD THE TAKATA IN THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS THEN IT IS LOGICAL THAT THE FACTORY WOULD HAVE TAKATA SIDE AIRBAGS FOR THE SIDE IMPACT AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS WHEN THE CAR WAS MADE! I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND STILL THE OWNER OF THIS CAR! I DO…”
