| Description of the problem | Takata recall i received a letter stating that my vehicle was subject to the recall for passenger airbags. I called my local dealer (burlington subaru in burlington, vt) to see if they had an estimate on when it would be fixed. Contradictory to the letter that i received from subaru (stating that they would be reaching out to me when they were scheduling appointments), my local dealer said that they were taking "pre-reservations" to get the vehicle fixed. I didn't call for several days after i received the recall notification because it did not seem time sensitive, but apparently that was the wrong course of action. My wife and i do not feel safe driving this car, and do not like the way that subaru is handling this. We should be provided with a safe rental vehicle until they can make it right. |
