“"takata recall" vehicle acted like it wanted to only go right and I couldn't turn left and ended up hitting the guardrail on the right side of the road and almost totalled the vehicle. Didn't know about any recall so I went to junkyard to get whole front end, fenders, hood and pretty much every thing on front of vehicle except for motor. But did replace fan on motor. Cost in parts only was approx. $700.00 (have receipts). Not including labor! & time and cost spent not having a vehicle until fixed. Also no airbags deployed!”Owner report · Air Bags · Nov 2015
