Have you ever had a major recall on a vehicle that you owned?
We had a 2001 Ford Windstar van several years ago that had three. After the third one which was for the rear axle that could [b]suddenly break in half[/b], my husband traded it 😂.

Our 2008 Subaru Outback had a recall because of the passenger side airbag. You may remember that a few years ago, a lot of car companies had issues with a certain manufacturer's airbags. Anyway, because of the back log of recalls for this airbag, Subaru recommended that people not ride in the front passenger seat until they could get it replaced.
At the time, my wife was driving me to work every day (we only have the one car), and my wife being my wife insisted that I ride in the back until we got the airbag replaced. I felt like a git, but OK.
After a couple of weeks of this, I started getting on the phone doing my best not to yell at the local dealership (love Subaru cars — hate the local dealership) to get on the ball and get this thing fixed. It took about a month all told, me riding to work in the back seat twice a day.
