    The manufacturer has failed to remedy this safety recall. The recall is dated May 10, 2023, and now over 2 years later there is no remedy. I remain concerned about my safety and the safety of my family, while driving this car. Despite the cost of replacement, but in consideration of the potential seriousness of the issue, time fame involved, and lack of action by the manufacturer, I am requesting complete replacement of all airbags in the above-referenced car.
