I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE RECALL PROCESS IN GENERAL. I RECEIVED A RECALL ON A VEHICLE WE PURCHASED FOR OUR SON. HE DRIVES IT EVERYDAY. THE NOTICE INDICATED TO CALL ON FEB 23. SO FAR I HAVE HAD 4 DEALERS TELL ME THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT WE COULD BE LOOKING AT 6-8 WEEKS. TODAY I HAVE 1 TELL ME THAT THERE ARE 2 RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. 1 FOR EACH AIRBAG. DOES THIS PROCESS SEEM BROKEN WHEN SOMETHING AS CRUCIAL TO DRIVER AND PASSENGER SAFETY TAKES 6-8 WEEKS TO CORRECT. REALLY? LET'S JUST ROLL THE DICE I GUESS AND HOPE NOTHING HAPPENS BETWEEN NOW AND THE TIME WE ARE ABLE TO GET THIS ADDRESSED. WHAT'S MORE TROUBLING IS I AM TOLD THAT THE RECALL WE RECEIVED FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES HAVE PARTS ON THE WAY, ALBEIT 6-8 WEEKS AWAY, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PARTS ARE NOT EVEN IN THE WORKS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. *TR
