TOYOTA AIRBAG RECALL CASE #[XXX] ***2/13/15: HAD TO DRIVE 135 MILES WITH 72 YR OLD VIETNAM VET BUSINESS PARTNER CRAMMED IN BACK SEAT AMONGST OTHER CARGO DURING A BUSINESS TRIP.*** MUST OPERATE VEHICLE WITH PASSENGER IN CAR FOR BUSINESS 85% OF USAGE TIME. OTHERWISE I CANNOT RUN MY BUSINESS!! TOYOTA REFUSES TO PROVIDE ME WITH A SOLUTION OR A RENTAL UNTIL SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE. THEY WANT ME TO PUT MY 72 YR OLD VIETNAM VET BUSINESS PARTNER IN BACK SEAT WITH FULLY LOADED CARGO RATHER THAN HELP ME FIX THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. THEY ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO HELP ME. THIS IS WRONG. I CANNOT OPERATE MY VEHICLE FOR BUSINESS WITHOUT MY BUSINESS PARTNER. TOYOTA WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANY WORKAROUND, NOR ANY SOLUTION, IN ANY TIMELY MANNER. BUT YET THEY TELL ME I CANNOT OPERATE MY VEHICLE SAFELY AS I NEED TO DO TO CONTINUE RUNNING MY BUSINESS.
