| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I received a letter from toyota 2 weeks ago indicating the safety recall with the front passenger air bag inflators which were incorrectly manufactured and have the potential to fatally injure the passenger in the event they are deployed in an accident. To date, huntington toyota of long island has not received the necessary parts to complete the repair for the recall and they have no idea when they will have the parts. I purchased an suv because i obviously had a need for more seats and room. I use my truck daily transporting my children and their friends to various functions, otherwise i would have gotten a smaller vehicle. So toyota's suggestion to vehicle owners to not use the passenger seat, is unacceptable. I am requesting that the necessary parts for this airbag be immediately sent to huntington toyota for my vehicle. I have 3 toyota vehicles and have been a long time customer, but if this matter is not rectified to my satisfaction, i will no longer consider toyota vehicles for future purchase. |
