| Description of the problem | I received a safety recall notice on my 2004 toyota notice #ssc 70b front ball joints, i contacted the local toyota dealership where i purchased the vehicle, they have stated i must go on a waiting list as there are limited supplies of the replacment parts from toyota, 2-weeks later they are now telling me it may be "weeks and weeks" before parts are availible. My complaint is with toyota for not follow through on providing thier dealerships with these parts in a timely fashion, especially in this case where this is a critical repair. Please feel free to contact me if further info is needed, and feel free to pressure-chew out toyota. Thanks for your help. |
