Description of the problem | Takata recall nothing has happened yet, but there is a recall going on with my airbags (shrapnel from airbags), that has not been addressed in over 1 year. I still own this car and use it everyday, and i and my passengers are put at risk every time, specifically if the airbags were to deploy. Toyota has not done anything about it except to send a letter that it will be remedied soon which was sent 1 year ago. Additionally, i received a auto airbag settlement notice, but am not eligible because i still own the car! This is ridiculous. Toyota needs to prioritize by owners of vehicles that can currently still receive injury or death first over those that had previously owned/leased the car and were therefore only potentially at risk. Toyota is putting my life, and my passengers' lives at risk, every day, and they do nothing about it. Nothing has happened yet, but why am i being put at risk for something that is not my fault, and should be remedied by the seller as i am the consumer? Why should this even be about something that has happened, why isn't it about prevention and not having to be fearful that every time i drive my car, that if i get into an accident that i and any of my passengers may die because shrapnel will deploy from the very same airbags that were meant to keep us safe? |
