| Description of the problem | My complaint is in regards to the toyota air bag recall notice sent out several months ago. I have been in contact with toyota several times in regards to this and they still have no suitable fix for this problem. I am driving around in a car with no functional airbag, which i can not sell due to the sir bag light being illuminated. They have offered nothing to me in any way to resolve this problem in the mean time i am driving around 800-1500 miles per week in a death trap with no air bag. I have no financial means to rent or borrow a car until this is resolved. I have even offered them to buy my car at a loss so i can find other means of transportation. Each person i talk to at the customer service center offers me different advise and tells me a different story as to when the parts will be available and what i can do to fix it. I even went as far as to drive 2 hours to a toyota dealer that they arranged for me to fix it only for it not to be done when i picked the vehicle up from service. |
