| Description of the problem | Takata recall i received a notice in december 2016 that my passenger airbag had a recall and that there were plenty of parts so i could call my subaru dealer and have them fix it. I did call them and they said that they did not have parts yet and that it would be a few weeks and they would call me to make an appointment. I called agan today, 3/31/17 and i got the same story that they won't have parts for a few weeks and that they will call me. I mentioned that i had already heard that three months ago and she said that it was because of takata and there was nothing they could do. This is a ridiculous amount of time for me to be expected to not be able to use my car, or to drive a potentially dangerous vehicle. The first time i called they said i might be provided with a rental car but every one i talked to said it was fine to drive my car. It is only fine to drive it if i do not end up in a wreck that causes the airbags to go off, which is not something that a person can really plan for. Subaru has not been able to fix this problem in a timely manner like they said they would. |
