WE ARE EXPECTED A WAIT OF POSSIBLY MONTHS AND FORGO USING THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS UNREASONABLE SINCE WE USE OUR AUTO EVERYDAY AND MANY TIMES WITH MULTIPLE PASSENGERS WHO CAN NOT CLIMB TO THE REAR TO USE THE SMALL SEATS. ALSO, I AM SURE THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG IS ALSO A TAKATA BAG. SHOULD WE STOP DRIVING OUR AUTO ALL TOGETHER? I THINK WE SHOULD BE GIVEN A LOANER IF THIS IS THE CASE.
