Default Re: More states prepare to ban cars with dodgy Takata airbags from our roads

I'm not seeing much of a problem, IMO they should leave the faulty airbags in place, it might encourage drivers to be a little more attentive, knowing that if they crash they're going to have a grenade go off in their face....

Y'know? like the older cars that don't have seatbelts or collapsible steering columns, where if you hit something you're going to get impaled!

That said, from a dealership employee point of view, its amazing to see how many of the cars coming in for airbags have existing recalls for things that you'd consider just as critical from a safety perspective....
