| Description of the problem | Takata recall. Subaru recall campaign wqr53. Notice received with instruction not to allow front passenger. Contacted six (6) local dealerships to remedy defect. All six advise they cannot schedule appointment to remedy defect as they have no parts and don't know when parts will be available. One dealer advised subaru of america is not cooperating with local dealer. Each dealer advised to check back (in a month or two months) to see if they have parts. Without use of front passenger seat my vehicle is rendered useless. No other options provided; i. E., a loner car or a rental vehicle. Not the best way to run a railroad. Has a class action lawsuit been filed? If so, please advise as to legal counsel. |
