| Description of the problem | I received a safety recall letter in the mail; the letter stated that there is an issue with my airbag inflators. I tried contacting a few toyota dealerships, and they made my issue, and more importantly, my safety, seem like it was not their number one priority. They told me that they would have to order new parts but that would take two months. If they received it earlier they said they would give me a call. Several months have gone by, and i haven't received a call. My nearest dealership, bredemann toyota @ (847) 655-1435 has not call me back for 3 months or so. I received this letter back in january, and it is nearly july. Almost half a year has gone by, and my safety has been at risk every single day. Please contact me at [xxx] or [xxx] as soon as possible. I do not want to risk my life for any longer because of a dealership's carelessness. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
