43 of those correlate to the time of those takata manufacturing concerns. And to our regret, all four fatalities correspond to that same time. So were talking about recalls that were done 2008 to 2011 because of different manufacturing issues that takata made us aware of, and is pretty strong data that shows this is where the majority of the problems have been occurring, and those recalls were national i understand. I wasnt saying they were regionally limited. Its just, you have recall after recall after recall, when clearly theres these red flags. And the reason it matters so much to this constituent, who is permanently blind, is this was in 2013. It just seems that its a different manufacturer, but if takata had done a more global look at what was happening, and by global, i mean, in all their air bags, i dont think this would have happened. So i think to you, that is on november 6th, a New York Times article reported that takata secretly conducted tests in 2004 at your auburn hills
She was driving a 2002 honda. This is what happened to her. The shredded air bag just like the one that i showed you here on the left poster. This is what the car looked like. She had a passenger. You can see the air bag still inflated in the car. Unfortunately and she has given us permission when the lieutenant was being carried to the hospital, thats what hah she looked like. So lieutenant erdman, if you would share with us your story of what happened. Yes, sir. Good morning everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, my name is stephanie erdman. Im honored to be here today to serve as the voice for the people who have been forever silenced because of this exploding takata air bags. On behalf of everyone who has suffered because of these defective air bags, i would like to thank the committee for holding this hearing. I hope that no other families will have to go through the ordeal my family and i have had to endure because this happened to me. On september 1st, 2013 my life was changed forever.
And theres no reason why the auto makers covered by this notice should not be required to take the same kind. I think it is absolutely imperative in view of the fear that has gripped the public by virtue of what has already been said and what will be stated in in hearing today that a loaner or rental car would be provided for someone if they cannot get their replacement of their defective airbag on the recall list done immediately. The owners should have a right to expect that the cars that they drive are as safe as possible. So thats going to be what were going to be facing in the next immediate future, as we dig into the question of what in fact is the problem. Ive written to secretary fox urging him to impose Civil Penalties up to the full extent of his law on any company that refuses to provide drivers with an alternative form of transportation. If theyre going to have to wait to have their car repaired. The American People have a right to know about the story behind this airbag re
