| Description of the problem | My complaint has to do with the air bag recall. The dealer on two occasions replaced components of the air bag system but has been unable to correct the problem. The service consultant claims to have contacted toyota tech personnel in ca and was told, basically, "there's nothing else we can do under the recall." if the problem still exists, i. E. The warning light still comes on and, apparently, there is still the risk of a malfunction, i fail to see why further action cannot be taken. From what i have read and heard the consequences of an air bag malfunction can be fatal. |
