2009 HONDA FIT Air Bags Problems

Honda has sent me numerous mailers advertising a gift card and loaner vehicle as incentives for participating in their Takata recall. Honda also cites the promise of a loaner vehicle in every press release trumpeting their so-called commitment to this recall. My local Honda dealership refuses to provide a loaner vehicle. I reported this problem to Honda expecting them to intervene, but I received nothing except useless automated email responses.

I WAS IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT 10-6-18. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY AND RESULTED IN MY BACK BEING BROKE AND TWO DIFFERENT PLACES.

TAKATA RECALL. I CONTINUE TO GET NOTICES FOR CAR I NO LONGER OWN. CAR WAS TRADED TO ECONOMY HONDA DURING PURCHASE OF VEHICLE. I HAVE CALL ECONOMY HONDA TO ASK WHY THEY DID NOT UPDATE RECORDS.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET HONDA OF KIRKLAND, WASHINGTON TO REPAIR MY AIRBAGS SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2016. THEY KEEP PUTTING IT OFF AND NOW THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DO IT UNTIL THE END OF MAY. THAT IS OVER AN 8 MONTH WAIT, HONDA IS THE ONE THAT TOLD ME I NEEDED THE SERVICE.

THERE ARE TWO RECALL NOTICES FOR THIS VEHICLE RELATED TO AIRBAGS, BUT HONDA SAYS THAT THE REMEDY IS NOT AVAILABLE YET. CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT THE TIME ON A CITY STREET. THE CAR HAD SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. INTERIOR AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. VALUE OF CAR IS REDUCED DUE TO THIS DEFECT THAT CANNOT BE REMEDIED, AND I BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY LOSS IN VALUE DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE NATURE OF THE CAR.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS) FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V061000 (AIR BAGS) FOR THE FRONT DRIVER'S AIR BAG INFLATOR. THE PART FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A LETTER NOTIFYING ME OF THE RECALL IN MARCH 2016. IT SAID THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE AND I WOULD RECEIVE A FOLLOW UP LETTER WHEN THEY BECAME AVAILABLE IN SUMMER 2016. I NEVER RECEIVED A FOLLOW UP LETTER AS OF FEBRUARY 2017.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL LETTERS STATING THAT MY CAR HAS A SAFETY DEFECT RELATED TO THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. THE LAST LETTER WAS IN JULY 2016. IN IT, IT STATES THAT IF HONDA OR THE DEALER (RICHARD'S HONDA IN BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA) HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN 60 DAYS. I ACTUALLY CALLED OVER A YEAR AGO AND THEY KEPT TELLING ME THAT THEY WOULD SEND A LETTER WHEN THE PART WAS READY. WELL, ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND I'VE RECEIVED NOTHING STATING THAT THE PART IS READY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 HONDA FIT. WHILE TRAVELING 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS CONTACTED NEARLY A YEAR AGO (FEB 2016), INFORMING ME THAT MY AIRBAG INFLATORS WERE BEING RECALLED AND THAT MORE INFORMATION WOULD BE PROVIDED AT A LATER DATE. I WAS CONTACTED IN MAY 2016 LETTING ME KNOW THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/EARLY FALL 2016, AND THAT HONDA WOULD CONTACT ME AGAIN WHEN THEY WERE AVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING MORE FROM HONDA, AND THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY CAR HAS BEEN UNSAFE TO DRIVE FOR THE PAST YEAR, AND YET I STILL NEED TO DRIVE IT TO GET TO WORK. IT'S TIME FOR HONDA TO TAKE STEPS TO REPLACE THIS PART AND MAKE MY CAR SAFE AGAIN SO I CAN STOP LIVING IN FEAR OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT AND HAVING MY AIRBAG INFLATE AND KILL ME!

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED ON MARCH 2016 ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER 2016 TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. AT THAT TIME, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO RESOLVE THE DEFECT. I HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED ABOUT A FIX FOR THE DEFECT.

TAKATA RECALL HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED YET AND, ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE, THE "REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE." I RECEIVED MY FIRST NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL EARLY LAST YEAR (2016), SAYING THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE ISSUE IS READY TO BE ADDRESSED, AND AS OF YET STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING.

TAKATA RECALL: I CONTACTED BERKELEY HONDA TO GET THIS RECALL FIXED. A SALES PERSON CONTACTED ME TO TRY TO SELL ME A NEW CAR BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT NEVER RETURNED THE CALL. I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY ORDERED THE PART BUT NEVER ADVISED ME IF THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. FURTHER CALLS NOT RETURNED. CONTACTED OAKLAND HONDA WHO SAID THEY HAD THE PARTS BUT REFUSED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT - SAID IT'S FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. I'M AN ELDERLY WOMAN AND NOT WELL. I CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO SHOW UP AND EITHER WAIT AND WAIT OR FIND OUT THAT THERE IS NO PART AVAILABLE WHEN I GET THERE. I CALLED SAN LEANDRO HONDA - LEFT MESSAGES BUT THEY NEVER RETURN THE CALL. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE TAKE CARE OF THIS! IT'S NOT GOOD SERVICE AT ALL AND NOT REALISTIC TO HAVE ME NEVER HAVE A PASSENGER WHILE I'M WAITING FOR THIS TO BE RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL - HONDA INFORMED ME IN FEB 2016 ABOUT THE RECALL REGARDING THE AIRBAG HOWEVER I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING SINCE THEN. 9 MONTHS LATER AND NO RESOLUTION. THIS IS NOT BEING HANDLED IN A TIMELY MANNER. ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO KILL DRIVERS. THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS TO FILE A A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT IF THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THE RECALL OF MY 2009 HONDA FIT LAST SPRING AND SO FAR NEITHER HONDA NOR THE DEALER HAS MADE THE REPLACEMENT AIR-BAGS AVAILABLE. I FIND THIS VERY UPSETTING. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO SPEED THIS ACTION UP? DATE OF RECALL GIVEN BELOW IS APPROXIMATE. THANK YOU.

WE PLACED AN ORDER TO FIX THE "PASSENGER" AIRBAG, AFTER RECEIVING A LETTER FROM HONDA. THIS HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS AGO. WE ASKED FOR A RENTAL, AS WE WERE GIVEN ONE FOR OUR "DRIVER" AIRBAG. THEY REFUSED, SAYING THE PASSENGER MUST SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAVE ARTHRITIS, AND BAD BACK, AND TO GET INTO THE BACK SEAT IS HARD. WE HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AND THE HONDA DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. AND NO LUCK THERE. THE PART ISN'T IN YET. THEY SAY THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. OUR CASE # 04972087. MY THINKING IS THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR A RENTAL, AS IF NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND THERE IS AN ACCIDENT, IT WON'T DEPLOY. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO BE INCONVENIENCED BY THEIR FAULTY AIRBAGS. IF I SELL THIS CAR, I WONT' GET AS MUCH OUT OF IT BECAUSE OF THE UNREPAIRED AIRBAG. SO, IF YOU WOULD, COULD YOU PLEASE HELP US? SINCERELY *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" I MADE AN APPOINTMENT ON JULY 2, 2016 AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, VANDERGRIFF HONDA, ARLINGTON TX AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD THE AIRBAGS IN STOCK. I TOOK MY CAR IN ON MY APPOINTMENT JULY 5, 2016 AND RECEIVED A CALL THAT DAY THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT IN STOCK. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THEM AND IT WOULD TAKE 6 WEEKS. I CALLED BACK AUGUST 17, 2016 AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE STILL NOT IN, THEY WERE COMING IN SPORADICALLY. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2016 AND STILL NO ANSWER AS TO WHEN I CAN GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED. IT IS WELL OVER THE 60 DAYS REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME THAT I HAVE HAD TO WAIT. I AM TIRED OF FEELING STRESSED EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR WITH THESE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.

DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG RECALL: I RECEIVED A DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG RECALL IN MARCH 2016. I'VE CONTACTED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER, SCOTT ROBINSON IN TORRANCE, CA AT LEAST 8 TIMES BEGINNING IN MARCH 2016 AND MOST RECENTLY IN AUGUST 2016. THE FIRST FEW MONTHS SCOTT ROBINSON SAID PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE AND THEY COULDN'T PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. FINALLY IN AUGUST THEY SAID THEY COULD ORDER THE PARTS AND IT WOULD TAKE 4-6 WEEKS FOR THE PART TO COME IN, BUT THEY REITERATED THAT THEY CAN'T PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. ON AUGUST 22, 2016 I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND REQUESTED ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. THROUGHOUT THE WEEK OF AUGUST 22 - 25 (MON - THURS) I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES AS THEY ASKED ME TO CALL MY LOCAL DEALERS (WHICH I TWO DIFFERENT ONES) TO TRY TO GET ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION AND TO CALL THEM BACK TO ESCALATE MY CASE BECAUSE OF MY UPCOMING TRIPS WITH MY PREGNANT WIFE IN MY CAR. AMERICAN HONDA SAID THEY WOULD OPEN A CASE AND GET BACK TO ME TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION BY 8/29/2016. AMERICAN HONDA ALSO TOLD ME A MANAGER WOULD CALL ME BACK ON 8/25/16 OR 8/26/16 AT THE LATEST BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY CALLS AS OF 9/5/2016 (AND NO MISSED CALLS). AMERICAN HONDA CONTINUES TO GIVE ME THE RUN-AROUND FOR A CASE I INITIATED IN MARCH 2016. THEY HAVE HAD AWARENESS THAT I AM DRIVING WITH A LIFE-THREATENING DEFECT AND ARE NOT TAKING ANY ACTION, WHICH IS CRIMINAL.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED TWO NOTICES OF THE RECALL SINCE MARCH. WHEN I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO IN EARLY JULY 2016, THEY SAID PACIFIC HONDA IN HONOLULU (CURRENT RESIDENCE) SHOULD HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE. I CALLED PACIFIC HONDA ONLY TO BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST. IT IS NOW, AUGUST 25TH, AND STILL NO WORD OR CALL BACK TO SAY IF MY 2009 HONDA FIT WILL BE READY FOR SERVICE.

PACIFIC HONDA IS CONSIDERED IN THE HAH ZONES AND ALL CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED BETTER NOTIFICATION AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WERE READY FOR SERVICE. I EXPECTED HONDA TO CALL ME BEFORE OUR MOVE REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON THE "WAITING LIST." I HAVE A DIABETIC TODDLER WHO RIDES IN THE BACK SEAT.

THEY GIVE ME $$ AMOUNT - NOW I HAVE TO FIND OUT FROM HONDA DEALERSHIP IF THEY WILL PAY $35.00 PER DAY. HONDA CORP SAYS PAYING THIS AMOUNT IS UP TO DEALERSHIP. I'VE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT / EVEN A TICKET AND 66 YRS. YOUNG. WHY DO I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ALL THESE PHONE CALLS - 1/2 THE TIME THE DEALERSHIP WON'T EVEN RETURN MY PHONE CALLS! PAYING MY "LOANER FEE" SEEMS A WHOLE LOT CHEAPER - THAN GOD FORBID I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN I RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTICE FOUR MONTHS AGO I WENT TO HERB CHAMBERS HONDA IN BURLINGTON, MA. THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A SUBSTITUTE VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE A TEENAGE DRIVER. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL AMERICAN HONDA ABOUT IT - I DID, I OPENED A CASE, AND HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING. I HAVE BEEN CALLING HERB CHAMBERS EVERY FEW WEEKS BUT ALL THEY WOULD TELL ME IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE CAR. I TRIED CALLING HONDA GALLERY IN READING. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PARTS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE VEHICLE (HERB CHAMBERS NEVER TOLD ME THIS) AND THAT IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER SIX WEEKS IF THEY MARK IT 'URGENT'. NICOLE IN SERVICE SAID SHE CAN'T TELL ME THAT MY CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. SHE DID NOT KNOW IF THEY WILL GIVE ME A RENTAL OR NOT, SAME REASON, I HAVE AN 18 YEAR OLD DRIVER. I FEEL THAT HONDA WAS PERFECTLY HAPPY TO SELL ME A DEFECTIVE CAR BUT IS DOING NOTHING TO EITHER FIX IT OR PROVIDE SAFE TRANSPORTATION.

TAKATA RECALL AND PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL: I ORIGINALLY CONTACTED SCOTT ROBINSON HONDA IN TORRANCE, CA IN MARCH 2016 REGARDING THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL JUNE 2016 TO CONTACT THEM TO ADDRESS THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY WERE OUT OF PARTS. I CALLED THEM IN EARLY JULY AND LEFT TWO PHONE MESSAGES. I ALSO WENT TO THEIR WEBSITE AND WEB-CHATTED WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME WITHIN A DAY OR TWO. IT HAS BEEN WEEKS AND I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM ANY OF MY MESSAGES. THEY ARE IGNORING MY MESSAGES. EVEN IF THERE IS A DELAY IN SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT THEY COULD AT LEAST LET ME KNOW. THEY CONTINUE TO DISREGARD ME EVERY TIME I CONTACT THEM. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SERVICE FROM SCOTT ROBINSON HONDA AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED A LETTER IN MARCH ABOUT THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG BEING RECALLED AND CALLED MY HONDA DEALER TO GET ON LIST FOR FIX. 4 MONTHS LATER AND HAVE NOT HAD A RESPONSE. ABOUT TWO MONTHS IN I CALLED AND THEY STATED THEY COULD DO NOTHING AND I WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER WHEN PART WAS IN. NOTHING YET. TODAY RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER FROM HONDA STATING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ALSO DEFECTIVE! WHEN AND HOW CAN I GET THESE PROBLEMS FIXED IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER.

TAKATA RECALL--HENDRICK HONDA OF CHARLESTON, SC HAS HAD MY AIRBAGS ON ORDER FOR OVER 2 MONTHS AND CANNOT GIVE ME ANY IDEA AS TO WHEN THEY WILL BE REPAIRING MY CAR. ADDITIONALLY, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT, WHILE THEY CAN GIVE ME A LOANER/RENTAL UNTIL MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IS REPAIRED, THEY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO USE THE LOANER/RENTAL UNTIL MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG GETS REPLACED. SO BASICALLY, THEY CARE IF I DIE, BUT NOT MY HUSBAND, CHILD, OR FRIEND WHO HAPPENS TO BE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT! THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO REPAIR THESE CARS, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO BUY THEM BACK FROM US LIKE VOLKSWAGEN IS DOING FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE YESTERDAY (25JULY 16) OF PASSENGER SIDE RECALL. I NOTIFIED LOCAL HONDA (HENDRICKS HONDA OF CHARLESTON) OF THE FACT THAT I HAD A PLANNED TRIP TO MI FROM SC THIS FRIDAY AND WOULD NEED THE AIR BAG REPLACED BY THURSDAY THAT ME OF DAY. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS SCHEDULE COULD LIKELY NOT BE MET AND THAT THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE A LOANER. I CALLED THE HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE # AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING; TO HEY AGREED TO ESCALATE MY CONCERN BUT COULD NOT GIVE ME AN EXPECTED TIME OF A REPLY. I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT MY CHOICES ARE BETWEEN AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND A RENTAL AT PERSONAL EXPENSE; I BELIEVE THIS TO BE UNFAIR.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR IS ONE OF THE CARS FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA ONLY COVERS THE RENTAL CARS FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS AND WILL NOT BE COVERING IF THE DRIVER SIDE WAS FIXED AND THE PASSENGER HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. SO I CAN STILL DRIVE MY CAR BUT HONDA RECOMMENDS NOT TO HAVE SOMEONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS PREVENTS ME FROM DRIVING/CARPOOLING MORE THAN 3 PASSENGERS AS WELL AS THE METAL SHARDS FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG CAN STILL POTENTIALLY HIT THE DRIVER IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. IS HONDA AND OTHER COMPANIES ALLOWED TO ONLY COVER THE RENTAL CAR FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AND NOT THE PASSENGER PASSING ON THE LIABILITY TO THE CAR OWNER IF THE PASSENGER WAS TO GET HURT DUE TO THE RECALL?

TAKATA RECALL ITHACA CARSHARE IS A SMALL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION SERVING 1,400 COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH 25 VEHICLES AVAILABLE FOR SELF-SERVE RESERVATIONS ON A 24/7 BASIS. SIX OF THESE VEHICLES ARE HONDA FITS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL. FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR MEMBERS AND LIABILITY PURPOSES, WE REMOVED THESE VEHICLES FROM SERVICE ON APRIL 4, 2016. WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH BOTH OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND HONDA CORPORATE MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THUS FAR BOTH HAVE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY COMPENSATION FOR THE LOSS OF REVENUE CAUSED BY THESE VEHICLES BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. EACH VEHICLE REQUIRES INSTALLATION OF SPECIALTY HARDWARE FOR OUR USE, SO SUBSTITUTE VEHICLES PROVIDED BY HONDA (WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN OFFERED) ARE NOT AN OPTION FOR US. AS EACH DAY GOES BY, WE LOSE $250-300 IN REVENUE, SO AS OF THIS WRITING WE HAVE LOST OVER $3,000. AS A SMALL NON-PROFIT, THIS RECALL HAS A HUGE EFFECT ON OUR BUDGET. WE EXPECT THAT OUR LOSSES WILL TOTAL AT LEAST $10,000, IF NOT MORE. FAILURE OF HONDA TO PROVIDE COMPENSATION FOR THIS LOSS IS BOTH INCONVENIENT AND UNACCEPTABLE. WE CONTINUE TO SEEK COMPENSATION FOR THIS LOSS AND REQUEST ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MAY OFFER ON OUR BEHALF.

WHILE DRIVING MY INTERIOR BEGAN TO LEAK FROM THE SEAM WHERE THE HEADLINER MEETS THE HARD PLASTIC ON THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG. THIS OCCURS WHENEVER IT RAINS FOR LO HER THAN AN HOUR.

A CAR RAN A RED LIGHT AND HIT THE FRONT OF THE HONDA FIT. THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DEPLOYED. THE CHEMICAL FROM THE AIRBAG CAUSED BURNS THAT BLISTERED AND PEELED AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SPRAINED BOTH THUMBS. THERE SHOULD BE A WARNING THAT THE CONTENTS OF THE AIRBAGS CAN CAUSE SIGNIFICANT BURNS WHEN DEPLOYED. I HAVE SCARS ON MY LEFT WRIST AND RIGHT HAND FROM THESE CHEMICALS. THE FIRST RESPONDERS AND PARAMEDICS WERE UNAWARE THAT THESE CHEMICALS CAUSE BURNS SO THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO REMOVE THE CHEMICALS OR TELL ME THAT THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO BURN AS LONG AS THEY WERE IN CONTACT WITH MY SKIN. *JS
