| Description of the problem | Takata air bag recall we were notified of a recall for our car about 6 months ago. The dealership informed us of the lack of available parts. We were instructed not to use the passenger seat, essentially rendering our vehicle unusable for 4 to 5 passengers for the past 6 months, nor could the vehicle be sold if we had desired. Takata company is unable to comply with the correction in a reasonable period of time. No temporary solution has been offered. Takata is responsible to supply the victims with costs for rentals. Buy back the vehicle or settle on a reasonable figure for the inconvenience. They are a for profit company and are at risk for the cost of doing business. |
