    I was at a full stop, behind a line of cars, at a red light, on a city street. A jeep liberty suv rear-ended me at approximately 30 mph, pushing me into the car in front of me, and totaling my vehicle.

    The front passenger's seat belt is stuck and won't retract. I would like to know if there was a recall for it. It happened january 2017. I was first told by the dealership that there was a recall and then they said that there was no recall. If there was a recall, we never received any correspondence.

    Takada recall. Why is more being done to volkswagon for their deliberate attempt to alter emissions tests (which is not a safety hazard), than is being to takata and the car companies who continue to use their defective deadly airbags. And why arent the car companies being forced to purchase replacement air bags from other vendors (like subaru has done)? And why arent the owners being compensated, like they are for…
