2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2022

I received a notification that our car had been recalled, so I made an appointment with deluca Toyota in ocala to have the recalled items only fixed. After they had the call for an hour and a half they tried to force me to have the serpentine belt replaced. We just had the serpentine belt replaced a few thousand miles ago and it was fine when we brought our car in for an airbag recall. They didn't fix the airbag, because we wouldn't pay for them to replace our serpentine belt. . . . That does not need to be replaced again this soon. Serpentine belts last about 100,000 miles so at 2-3 thousand miles it is fine. Toyota is a bunch of lying thieves.
