| Description of the problem | Toyota has issued a recall for the supplemental restraint system and electronic control unit in march 2015. My car's airbag light is illuminated intermittently and the toyota dealer recommends the ecu be replaced. I have been in contact with toyota and my call has been escalated several times but they still are not fixing my car. Toyota says that there is no remedy available. I am very concerned about my airbags deploying accidentally. I do not feel that toyota is taking my safety or my family's safety seriously. The recall i received clearly states that they know how to fix the problem "replacement of the srs ecu is now also required for this safety recall to be complete," it just seems that they won't. It has been almost a year that i have been driving a car in which i am not confident. Please make toyota execute this recall in a more timely manner. |
