Description of the problem | Toyota will not let dealerships disable these defective passenger side air bags. Honda recently went through the same thing and they did disable the airbags until the parts were available to fix them. I got a complete run around from toyota's customer service when i called them and was told "it had to go through the state." ridiculous. If it has to be coordinated through the state then toyota should be responsible for that. Why should i be driving around in a car that can have shrapnel flying around in it? "don't let anybody sit right in front of it" is not an acceptable solution. Not to mention they have no idea how long it will be til the parts are available - and this recall went out in june but i am only just now being notified. So 2 mos. Passengers have been sitting on the deadly side. They should not be allowed to get away with this as a business practice - totally unacceptable to put people at risk this way. Please do something about this. |
