| Description of the problem | "takata recall" on or around august 23, 2016 i called a toll free phone number either off a recall notification flyer i received in the mail or from a voice message on our home phone regarding the passenger airbag inflator on my 2005 toyota tundra truck. They asked where i wanted my vehicle fixed and i chose wilde toyota (3225 s 108th st, west allis, wi) since that is where i bought the truck from and have done a variety of repairs on this and other vehicles. The operator called their service department and i was notified the part would need to be ordered. I wasn't given any time frame, but i assumed it couldn't take long. I called wilde toyota today (september 13, 2016), and i was informed it was ordered as promised, but it would take 3 months!! I was never notified of this. I was told i shouldn't have someone in the front passenger seat. How does toyota expect a vehicle to be used for 3 months without allowing a passenger in the front seat. I don't understand why they wouldn't have an inventory on hand to handle quick turnaround. I understand it could be hard to manage , but 3 months is ridiculous. |
