| Description of the problem | July 30 received a recall notice for passenger airbag in 2006 subaru impreza. I have called subaru at least 5 times to ask when parts will be available. Each time i call subaru to check on parts i get a different answer as to when parts will be available. In july, i was told 6-8 weeks. After 8 weeks, i was told that parts would be showing up in 1-2 weeks (at the end of september). At the end of september, i was told parts would be available sometime between september and february. When i called a week later, i was told parts would be available at the end of september. I didn't hear from anyone so i called at the beginning of october, when i was told parts would be available in february. It has already been over 12 weeks since i received the recall and have not been able to drive with anyone in the passenger seat of my car. I would like to know what nhtsa is doing to assist in getting these cars repaired. |
