| Description of the problem | Takata recall i contacted not one, but all of my local subaru dealers in the first week of january to find out which had the shortest wait time for the recall, which they told me was 2 weeks. When i called back 3 weeks later, they told me it was backordered and "don't call us, we'll call you." it is now 5 weeks after that, i've been told by subaru that there's no date for when the parts will be in, and my car is unsafe to drive. I have a job; if i can't drive my car, then i need a rental provided to me in the mean time, free of charge. Leaving people for an indeterminate period of time with an unsafe vehicle and no alternative is unconscionable. |
