| Description of the problem | My airbag light came on and i took it in. They could not fix the problem even after the recall on the airbags were fixed. The light remain on. The attendant told me that the car would be alright and don't worry about the light. Six months later i took it in again and they said it would be $447. 00 to repair. They did not have the part and would have to order it. I took in again about seven to eight months later i ask them to check it again to make sure it was alright to travel in which i travel alot. The guy never told me that with this kind of problem the airbags will not deploy if i have an accident. I call toyota and told them i have been riding around with a dangerous car and no one there took the time to tell me it is a problem and my family was in danger. I feel i should not have to pay for something they told me it was safe to drive. Please advise me of what to do next. I only deal with keith pierson toyota jacksonville florida. |
