TAKATA RECALL. I WAS INFORMED BY TOYOTA ON 8/10/15 ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE RECALL FIXED ON MY CAR UNTIL 4/11/16 DUE TO THE "UNAVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS." I HAD TO USE THE CAR FOR 8 MONTHS WITHOUT LETTING ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT! I WAS NOT ABLE TO CAR POOL TO WORK AND THIS REALLY PUT A DAMPER ON MY ABILITY TO REASONABLY TRANSPORT MY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS. THE TIME IT TOOK TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!

I CALLED THE DEALER ON 11-5-15 TO FOLLOW UP AND THEY SAID NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE YET.. I CALL 4-4-16 AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS AVAILABLE AND TO GET IT FIXED MY OPTIONS WERE LEAVE THE CARE FOR 4-6 HOURS AND RENT A CAR OR HAVE A POSSIBILITY OF WAITING FOR THEIR SHUTTLE THAT HAS A 10 MILE LIMIT. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL OR MISS WORK TO HAVE THIS REPAIR DONE. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA CORPORATE WHICH I DID. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT, YES, RETNTALS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SUPPLED AND THEY HAD ME TALK WITH A PERSON AT THE NEXT LEVEL TO HOPEFULLY WORK IT OUT. I WAS TOLD BY THIS LEVEL PERSON THAT THEY ONLY SUPPLIED RENTALS FOR PEOPLE WHO REQUESTED THEM PRIOR TO A REMEDY AND PARTS AVAILABLE. I CONFIRMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE PAID FOR A RENTAL FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT WON'T PAY FOR ONE FOR ONE DAY? THEY SAID THAT WAS CORRECT. . I CANNOT AFFORD A RENTAL CAR OR TAKING TIE OFF WORK TO GET THIS FIXED. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE?
