| Description of the problem | We have been trying to get the air bag replacements for the recall done. So far none are available. We received the recall letter from toyota and it has the warning not to let anyone ride in the passenger side. This has made our vehicle unable to be used for most of 2015. We only put 1,000 miles on it. With them giving us the warning the vehicle is not safe and if we were to have an accident toyota's liability would be void since they sent out a notification letter per our attorney. I want them to buy back our vehicle so we can replace it with a truck that is safe for us to use. As it now e cannot sell it and avoid the liability if something should happen with the new owner. My husband had an accident last january and neither of the airbags deployed. |
