"Takata recall" I was in an accident in may on a city street in motion, my airbag deployed. The air bag deployed on impact but I was only going 18 miles per hour.My car has been in the shop since the wreck waiting on an airbag park. Its completely unfair that the car not be totaled and it has been sitting in a lot for 6 months. Ford has been zero help, all I hear is the air bag is delayed and we don't have a date.
