(CNN) – Japanese made Takata airbags have been linked to 5 deaths. The potentially deadly airbags are in millions of cars, some have been recalled, some are still on the road.

For nearly three hours Thursday, senators grilled a Takata executive, auto executives from Honda and Chrysler, and the federal safety regulator National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

At least four deaths and multiple injuries have been linked to the faulty bags. In one deadly case, police say the woman suffered what looked like stab wounds in her neck, but it is believed metal shrapnel from the exploding airbag caused her injuries.

Sens. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, and Ed Markey, D-Massachusetts, called on the Department of Justice Friday to open a criminal investigation.
