| Description of the problem | Takata recall: fortunately nothing serious has happened, other than the fact that the recall notice indicates i should not have a passenger in the front passenger seat as it might end in injury or death. It has been over a month since i received this notice and toyota has yet to offer a fix for my vehicle. This has become very difficult in both personal and business as i use my car to carry enough passengers to require an individual to be in the front seat. The only response i get from toyota is that i need to wait and worse, they cannot give me any kind of date. They are putting me in the position that i may need to purchase another vehicle but then i will not be able to sell mine with a known recall that has no status on when it will be fixed. Toyota has put me into a financial bind that may require i take a risk with an individual in the front passenger seat which in turn could cause injury or death. It's as if they are okay with dealing with a few deaths rather than spending the money to fix the issue. |
