Consumer Description

I RECEIVED AN AIR SAFETY RECALL NOTICE THEREFORE I SCHEDULED AN APPT WITH BOCH TOYOTA IN NORWOOD, MA TO GET IT FIX SINCE THAT WAS THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM 11 YEARS AGO. ON THE DAY OF MY APPOINTMENT I WENT THERE AND THEY TOLD ME THEY REPLACED THE AIR BAG AND THAT I WAS ALL SET THEN I LEFT.TWO WEEKS AFTER WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, I IMMEDIATLY CALLED BOCH TOYOTA THEY ASKED THAT I BRING THE CAR, I WENT THERE DIRECTLY. WHEN I ARRIVED THEY TOOK MY CAR TO GO CHECK WHY THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON, I REMINDED THEM THAT I WAS THERE TWO WEEKS AGO MAYBE THEY HAD FORGTOTTEN TO DO SOMETHING. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME HE WOULD HAVE A MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK; AN HOUR AFTER ANOTHER SERVICE ADVISR LARRY CAME AND TOLD ME THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT I WOULD COST ME $800. I TOLD HIM I HAD MY CAR FOR 11 YEARS AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT NEVER HAD ANY ISSUE UNTIL I BROUGHT MY CAR THERE FOR THEM TO FIX THE AIR BAG AS REQUESTED BY THE TOYOTA COMPANY;LARRY TOLD ME THE ISSUE THE CAR HAS NOW IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL AND THAT MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO GET IT FIX, HE ALSO SAID THAT IF I WAS INVOLVE IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. I TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS BOCH TOYOTA'S RESPONSIBILTY TO FIX IT, HE TOLD ME IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE. NEXT THEY BROUGHT MY CAR FOR ME THEN I LEFT. MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL ON IN THE CAR, I HAVE ASKED TWO MECHANICS FOR SUGGESTIONS AND THEY BOTH INFORMED ME THAT BOCH TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT ME ? I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED WITH THIS SICE I'M DRIVING A CAR WITH AIR BAGS THAT WILL NOT DEPLOY IN CASE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT.
