TAKATA RECALL: FORTUNATELY NOTHING SERIOUS HAS HAPPENED, OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATES I SHOULD NOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AS IT MIGHT END IN INJURY OR DEATH. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH SINCE I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE AND TOYOTA HAS YET TO OFFER A FIX FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT IN BOTH PERSONAL AND BUSINESS AS I USE MY CAR TO CARRY ENOUGH PASSENGERS TO REQUIRE AN INDIVIDUAL TO BE IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE ONLY RESPONSE I GET FROM TOYOTA IS THAT I NEED TO WAIT AND WORSE, THEY CANNOT GIVE ME ANY KIND OF DATE. THEY ARE PUTTING ME IN THE POSITION THAT I MAY NEED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THEN I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL MINE WITH A KNOWN RECALL THAT HAS NO STATUS ON WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. TOYOTA HAS PUT ME INTO A FINANCIAL BIND THAT MAY REQUIRE I TAKE A RISK WITH AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHICH IN TURN COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. IT'S AS IF THEY ARE OKAY WITH DEALING WITH A FEW DEATHS RATHER THAN SPENDING THE MONEY TO FIX THE ISSUE.
