| Description of the problem | Yesterday, february 27, i received a recall notice from toyota for takata air bags. This is an important safety recall appears in red ink on the notice. My car is a toyota yaris sedan, 2008, vin [xxx]. I immediately called the local toyota store, kendall toyota, to make an appointment for the repair. I was told that toyota doesn't yet have a fix for the problem and that i should await further word. Toyota's response shows egregious disregard for my safety. Also, if toyota has known of the problem since my car was manufactured nine years ago, then the unavailability of a fix in 2017 signals almost unbelievable incompetence in the organization. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
