Description of the problem	After receiving the notice from toyota, i scheduled an appointment and took my car in to have the recall fixed - taking a day off of work to do so. I then took a shuttle ride home and after seven hours of waiting i called asking about the status of my car. After another shuttle ride to the dealer i found out that they only did the inspection and did not fix the air bag. They said they would call me when the part was in to reschedule the actual repair. All i got was "sorry for the inconvenience." questions: why does does toyota send out a recall notice without ensuring that the dealerships have all of the necessary parts to handle all of the recall repairs? Why wouldn't the dealer inform the customer about the parts situation before they bring their car in to be fixed? How will i be compensated for the seven hours of wages that i gave up to get my car fixed? How many hours will i lose for the second repair? How many other customers are having a similar experience????
