| Description of the problem | Their has not been an incident yet, i am just trying to avoid a bad situation, but not getting any help from toyota's end. I have brought in my tundra multiple times to get the airbags checked out and they always said their was no problem. Then now i receive a recall letter in the mail and immediately call and setup an appointment because i am fixing to leave town for a new job. We set one up for july 30th and then a few days later i get a call and they cancelled the appointment because they don't have the airbag parts. I leave town this weekend, the 1st, in the tundra with the recall and will be driving around texas doing commercial construction work. I am trying to work with the dealership to get things done but the manager, jeff, just pretty much said ol well we can't do anything for you. He never offered a rental or any other alternative to them not having the parts. I got a call from megan at the corpus dealership and she has been more than helpful trying to figure out a solution or some alternative so i am not driving around in a deathtrap for the next 6 months. Your rental policy won't work very well considering i work 6-7 days a week and won't be near a dealership so i might not be able to just leave my new job to come switch vehicles with you. The inconvenience should be on the dealership/manufacturer, not the individual who paid for the vehicle. I hope to see some better customer service from toyota, but i guess if something happens while i have to drive the tundra around. I will just join the lawsuit |
