| Description of the problem | Notified of safety recall on or about 6/16/2015, dealer# d3f, nhtsa id# 15v285 and an interim notice sometime after that for front passenger airbag inflators. As of yet no parts have been available in nj. And no parts will be available for the foreseeable future??? Are you kidding me?? Takata apparently knew about this problem since early 2013 and parts are still not available?? And while my vehicle wasn't added to the list until 6/2015, the company knew there was a problem well before that. Having to wait 4-6 months (if i'm lucky) for a recalled part is unacceptable and i realize there are many, many vehicles involved but really?? Some people may actually not have their vehicles fully operational or safe for upwards of 2. 5 years? Is takata or toyota going to pay us for the time these vehicles are not fully operational because when i bought my truck i intended on getting full safe use out of it not partial use. Sorry to blow off steam on you but i am very frustrated, disappointed and concerned with this whole situation as i'm sure many others are. In any event, if you have any additional information on when this part will be available in nj please let me know. |
