I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THE EXPANDING RECALL AND AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF MY CAR HAS THE TEKATA AIRBAGS. I HAD TO CALL THE NORTH AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN TORRANCE CALIFORNIA WHERE THEY MADE FUN OF ME ON THE PHONE LINE. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF I HAVE TEKATA AIRBAGS THAT ARE NOT YET IN THE RECALL THAT IS EXPANDING SO I CAN DEACTIVATE THEM OR GET THE ISSUE ADDRESSED. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR WITHOUT KNOWING THIS. THEY ADMIT THEY HAVE THE INFORMATION AS TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR THE AIRBAGS BUT REFUSE TO GIVE IT TO ME. PLEASE HELP ME GET THEM TO RELEASE THE INFO AND NOT TREAT CUSTOMERS WITH SUCH LACK OF CONCERN AND DISRESPECT AS I EXPERIENCED.
