| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I bought the car used from empire nissan in lakewood, colorado in june 2016. I found out later it had an open airbag recall. Empire refused to fix it. I've been waiting since june 2016 to have auto nation subaru west, a subaru dealership in golden, colorado to order parts and get the car in to have the airbag repaired. When i called them, they put me on some informal list and said they would get back to me when the parts came in. I've been without a car that can hold 4 passengers since buying the subaru. 4 months seems like too long to repair a recalled airbag. The subaru repair rates for this recall are a dismal at 22%. Subaru, and the dealerships need to do more to support the safety of their customers. |
