| Description of the problem | Takata recall: i'm writing to complain about subaru's handling of the takata inflators. I called my local dealer today to set up an appointment to remedy the passenger airbag problem and was told there would be a delay of 2-3 months before subaru will have the fix available. The email i had received stated that i should not let anyone use the front passenger set during that time. That is unrealistic. Then when i went to this website to file a complaint about the delay, i noticed that as of a few days ago, the driver side airbag is also being recalled. If this means no one can drive the car for 2-3 months, this is even worse than the original problem. My suggestion would be that subaru give me a car to use for 3 months, until they can fix both airbag problems. Thanks for any action you can take with these problems. |
