| Description of the problem | I received a letter from toyota in march 2014 notifying me of a safety recall involving the electronic control module for the supplemental restraint system. I took the vehicle to the local dealer to have the remedy installed, which they did. In approximately february of 2015 (six months ago) i received a second letter informing me that the original remedy is not sufficient, that the srs ecu must also be replaced and i would receive notification when the parts were available to correct the problem. After six months i have heard nothing else and when i spoke to the toyota case manager today she indicated that she had no information to give me regarding the availability of this safety recall. I don't believe that this is a reasonable response from toyota regarding this safety fix and i don't believe that toyota is making a good faith effort to resolve the problem. My case number with toyota is 1508243039. |
