How’s that Takata airbag treating you? Hope it’s as reliable as the acceleration is “unintended”… http://www.safetyresearch.net/Library/BarrSlides_FINAL_SCRUBB

  "Takata airbag" That is an interesting recall. I was thinking about it today as my girlfriend is getting one replaced on her car right now. She commented on the incompetence of repair people these days and how they didn't even know if the repair was going to take one day or a week. With the death toll from the airbags at only 22 globally so far [1] and maybe a few hundred injuries [2] and a total number of recall repairs at 65-70 million [3], you can bet the number bad repairs are going to cause more deaths than if they had not done the recall. Plus the cost of the recall in the billions of dollars that could have done a lot more good. I guess the lawyers are coming out alright though.
