SCION Complaints

TAKATA RECALL WHY IS IT THAT I LIVE IN ZONE A AND MY FRIEND LIVES IN ZONE B (MARYLAND) AND HIS CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND I AM STILL WAITING WITH NO INFO AVAILABLE

TAKATA RECALL WE WERE NOTIFIED 5 MONTHS AGO THAT THERE WAS A CRITICAL ISSUE WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FAILING IN SUCH A WAY THAT COULD CAUSE THE DEATH OF THE PASSENGER AND THAT I SHOULDN'T DRIVE WITH A PASSENGER IN MY CAR. SO, FOR 5 MONTHS I HAVE DONE THAT, BUT GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM AND THE RESULTING LIMITATIONS ON HOW I'M AM ABLE TO USE MY CAR, I FIND THE LENGTH OF TIME TO REPAIR THE AIRBAGS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR AND I NORMALLY USE IT FOR GROUP TRIPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THE VALUE OF THE CAR IS BEING DEGRADED IN MY MIND SINCE WE ARE COMING UP ON NEARLY 10% OF THE CAR'S LIFE HAS BEEN SPENT WITH A DEATH-TRAP PASSENGER SEAT.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE RECEIVED OUR RECALL WARNING ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE SOLUTION FOR NOW IS NOT TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE A CASE NUMBER (1609063378). WE WERE TOLD THERE IS NOT CURRENT SOLUTION AND THERE IS NOT ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHEN THE PART(S) WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS ONE OF OUR MAIN MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND DRIVING AROUND LIKE CHAUFFEUR AND PASSENGER IS GETTING VERY TEDIOUS. WE RECENTLY HAD DEATH OF OUR FAMILY AND HAD TO TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN IN OUR DODGE TRUCK. ONLY TO FIND OUT UPON RETURNING HOME, THE DODGE TRUCK HAS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, TOO. NOW, BOTH VEHICLES ARE WAITING FOR PARTS. WHEN WE CONTACTED THE SCION DEALERSHIP, WE WERE TOLD THAT UPON EMERGENCIES, WE COULD POSSIBLY GET A LOANER FOR TRAVEL, WHICH IS VERY INCONVENIENT . WE WANT SOME ANSWERS, THAT IS, WHEN WILL A SOLUTION BE FOUND AND HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE PARTS TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE BOTH ARE SENIOR CITIZENS, HAVE OUR MEDICAL ISSUES AND WE DO NOT NEED THE STRESS OF THIS ISSUE.
