| Description of the problem | Safety recall notice received on this vehicle in may, 2015 for defective airbag. I called the eastern shore toyota dealership, daphne, al and spoke to service tech. Benjamin. Benjamin said toyota is not manufacturing the parts for the recalled airbags so the airbag can not be repaired at this time. Benjamin said the parts manufacturer will not make parts until september 2015. This is a dangerous situation. The dealership refused to make the repair as stated in the safety recall notice i received in the mail. The recall notice specifically states to not drive the vehicle due to the problems with the humidity and airbag deployment causing serious injury or potential death to anybody in the passenger seat of the vehicle. The manufacturer of the part is taking so much time to send the parts to make repairs. |
