Reply to comment by momentimori in TIL the first confirmed victim of Takata airbags was 18y/o Parham. As she drove around a car park, she lightly bumped another vehicle making the airbag inflate, sending metal pieces at such tremendous force that one hit the teen’s neck slicing open her carotid artery. She bled to death in her seat by ahm713

I was surprised they recalled my 1999 Acura CL over this in 2020. I plan on keeping it until they need to replace the airbag again just so I can go into the dealer and complain that they just don’t make cars like they used to.

When it comes to human safety from the manufacturer, they are responsible forever, as long as the consumer has not altered them. I love your idea about your 99 Acura, "they just don't make cars like they used to." LoL 🤣
