TAKATA RECALL-ON MAY 24, 2016, ON AN UNUSUAL HOT AND HUMID DAY ON THE LOWER MARYLAND SHORE, I WATCHED MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE - SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE SPACE. I WATCHED THE CAR COME TO A STOP AND WITHIN SECONDS I WATCHED THE CAR JUMP ONTO THE SIDEWALK. AS I WALKED OVER TO THE CAR I SAW THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. THE SIDE, CURTAIN AIRBAGS. I OPENED THE CAR DOOR, THE CAR FULL OF DUST, MY DAUGHTER CRYING AND BADLY BRUISED AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, NOR DO I. AS A RESULT OF THAT INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS TOTALED. THE PAYOFF DID NOT COVER THE AMOUNT OF THE FINANCING AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY DROPPED OUR GOOD DRIVER RATE, FLAGGED MY DAUGHTER AND INCREASED MY INSURANCE BY $100 A MONTH. AT THE TIME I CALLED HONDA AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED, I GAVE THEM THE VIN NUMBER BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND WHAT WAS I LOOKING FOR. NOW EIGHT MONTHS LATER THE TRUTH HAS COME OUT. *TR
