2005 TOYOTA SEQUOIA Complaints

WE RECEIVED A SSC 70B RECALL NOTICE. ABOUT 3 WKS AGO I CALLED TOYOTA OF HOLLYWOOD TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE OUT, AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY HAD IT. I CALLED THEM TODAY AND THEY SAID THAT I WAS PLACED ON A WAITING LIST. THAT THEY ARE GETTING ABOUT 1 PIECE PER WEEK AND THAT IT WILL TAKE APROX ANOTHER 6 WEEKS. THIS IS CRAZY!!! DOES AN ACCIDENT HAS TO HAPPENS BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN A TIMING MATTER? I DON'T WANT TO BE A VICTIM. *JB
