| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I have contacted our local toyota dealer, conklin motors 785-825-8271 (the same place we bought the car new) at least 5 times since october 2015 re: the takata recall. The first 3 times i called, i was directed to voice mail at the service department and left a message & my phone number to schedule air bag replacement. I never received a call back. In january, i phoned again & spoke to a real person (a woman) who said that the bag was on back-order, and that conklin would call me to schedule an appointment when the part arrived. In february, i called again and spoke to someone in the service department. I was told to wait until conklin called me to schedule the recall work. I still have not heard back from them. I am beginning to think that they are giving me the run-around. I am hesitant to drive this potentially dangerous car, but i really have no choice, do i? Can anything be done? I feel like i have been ignored at the local level. |
