Urgent airbag safety recall. Prior to airbag recall was in a 3 car accident. Family was with me, and no one was hurt. Thankfully for this, but now I donât feel safe driving this car regardless when airbag be repaired. Been in this vehicle for 12 years with a defected airbag which should keep occupants safe instead putting my life and others in danger. Is there a guarantee when repaired this will be safe? Air bags
