Takata recall. Contacted local dealer about 3-4 weeks ago to make an appointment and was told that there were 63 persons ahead of me. The dealer took my name and phone number and said they would contact me when it was my turn. I stopped in at the dealer this date to check on my status and to get a better idea of how much longer it would take and it was discovered they did not have me on their list. They took my information again and the service representative told me they were only getting 6 replacement bags at a time about every week or ten days or so. My concern is that it could take up to two months for me to get my vehicle corrected. Considering the potential hazards associated with this recall, I do not feel this is a reasonable timeframe for this to be corrected. The airbag warning light on my instrument cluster has been on now for several months and before I even received this recall notice. When I brought it into the dealer to have it checked out, they did not know what the problem was.
My airbag warning light indicates airbag failure. Dealership claims it's my fault. I bought it new for the safety features.
