| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I've been receiving recall notices for this vehicle for years. I have been attempting to have three issues resolved, only one of which is the takata airbag problem. I have attempted to make an appointment for the repairs at the nearest toyota dealer to me (about a 2. 5 hour-rt drive from my home) for the past year+, but i am repeatedly told that they are awaiting the part(s) for the takata airbag repair. To make things worse, i constantly receive flyers from toyota urging me to have the repairs done asap. I would like to. But apparently, toyota is having problems getting the parts to their dealerships. In the meanwhile, i'm driving a potentially dangerous car. |
