TAKATA RECALL. I WROTE TO ACURA ASKING FOR IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT DUE TO POSSIBLE DEATH OR SEVERE INJURY. I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL MESSAGE. I CALLED BACK AND NEVER HEARD BACK AGAIN. I AM BEING IGNORED. WE SOMETIMES USE THIS CAR TO CARRY A BABY. THERE IS NO ONE DAY THIS HAPPENED ALTHOUGH YOUR WEBSITE REQUIRES SUCH AN ENTRY TO HAVE MAY COMPLAINT ACCEPTED!!!
TAKATA RECALL. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE MY RIGHT HAND WAS ON THE 2 O'CLOCK POSITION. I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET, AND HIT A CAR THAT STOPPED SUDDENLY IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS LIKE A BOMB BLAST ONTO MY WRIST, FORCEFULLY BLASTING OUT ACID AND AIR OR WHATEVER'S IN THAT AIRBAG. I HAVE A TRAUMA INJURY AND CHEMICAL BURNS ON MY WRIST. THERE ARE CHEMICAL BURN HOLES ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD AS WELL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT MY BEADED BRACELET HAD PUNCTURED MY WRIST. ONE BURN LOOKED LIKE A CIGARETTE BURN, AND WITHIN 2 HOURS THE BURN HOLE SKIN TURNED PITCH BLACK. OTHER BLISTERS FORMED AS THE HOURS WENT BY. THE NEXT MORNING (THANKSGIVING) I WENT TO URGENT CARE AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. THEY SAID IT WAS CHEMICAL BURN INJURIES, WHICH I AM NOW TREATING. IT IS EXTREMELY PAINFUL. I DID FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND THERE IS A POLICE REPORT, BUT THE ACCIDENT WAS ONLY 3 DAYS AGO. I DECLINED MEDICAL ATTENTION AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, AS I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY A SIMPLE BRUISE, AND AT THAT TIME DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE AIRBAG VENT WAS BY MY WRIST, AND THAT I HAD CHEMICAL INJURIES.
