| Description of the problem | I received my first notice from toyota last year, 6-8 month ago, to give notice for a recall on my front driver airbag inflator. I contacted my local toyota dealer in grapevine and after explaining the situation, i was told they would order the part and contact me when it was in. 6 to 8 month have gone by and another reminder from toyota, torrance, ca about the same issue was sent to me. Following i called my grapevine dealership and they said the part was in. I needed to check my schedule and i called they back 2 days later to set up an appointment. Then, i was informed that my part was never ordered in the first place and that they did not have any airbag inflators on stock. I have now made an appointment with toyota of lewisville to resolve this issue even though toyota of grapevine is only a mile from my house. |
