| Description of the problem | There has been no incident at this time, but my concern is that i have been driving around in this unsafe vehicle for the last 6 years, endangering the lives of my wife, friends, and business associates while you guys were busy litigating this decision which should have been made as soon as they knew of the defect, not 3 or 4 or 5 years later. This is completely unacceptable, as is this ridiculous "remedy" and recommendation that we have nobody ride in the front seat. I use my truck for my 2 businesses that i run and i have people that ride in the front seat every day because the back seat is full of my tools. I don't understand why, after knowing about this problem for as long as toyota has known, that they still don't have the parts to immediately get these vehicles fixed. My wife and i have been toyota owners for many years, but we will never buy one again if this is the way they treat their customers. |
