| Description of the problem | Takata recall i was notified of the recall in july 2016 and went to dealership to have air bag replaced but was informed they did not have the part and i must wait for notification that part is available. I received second notice in december 2017 telling me part will be available in spring of 2018 and not to allow anyone to sit in passenger seat. This is totally unacceptable. My wife cannot sit in passenger seat when we go somewhere and this has been over 19 months. I am hiring an attorney to file suit for inability to use my vehicle as purchased. I am the original owner. Furthermore, y passengers have been at risk for the entire time. |
