| Description of the problem | Three weeks ago i purchased a camry xse. And, last thursday i read in the new york times that it may have defective air bags. Isn't that a scam? The dealership even said that the airbag problem had been taken care of. I was already unhappy because in order to get "crash warning, blind side features" i had to take the most expensive model. Isn't there any protection for buyers? I have friends who have waited for months to have their cars updated and now i may have been sold one that was sold knowingly defective. What help or advice can you give? Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
