| Description of the problem | On 8/17/15 received notice of a recall on passenger air bag. Per letter, i will be contacted when parts are available to fix the problem. In the interim, per toyota, passengers are recommended not to use the front seat. If i cannot have the full use of my vehicle, due to a manufacturing issue, then toyota should be supplying a similar vehicle until they can rectify the problem. In many instances i cannot refrain from using the passenger seat. I feel that they will be using this as an escape goat, so that they are not legally liable in case of issues or future incidence that may occur. In the meantime no can tell me when parts will be available to fix the problem. The dealers have no ideas as to when parts will be available. This is a major issue and toyota should be forced to have time schedules as to when parts and repairs will be performed. |
