Takata recall. Our subaru dealership told us that they cannot get us in to fix our airbag for at least a month if not more. I find this unsafe to be forced to drive a car that could explode on my passenger at any time and unreasonable to have to avoid driving my car during this time with a passenger because my dealership refuses to put us ahead of less pressing issues.

I received the recall letter from subaru america, who described terrifying consequences about their defective passenger side airbag. However, what they could do at the moment is just to advice not letting anyone ride on that side before repair. There was not even a deadline for such a repair.
