NHTSA Complaint #10935244 — 2011 SUBARU OUTBACK

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL WE WERE NOTIFIED OF A RECALL FOR OUR CAR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED US OF THE LACK OF AVAILABLE PARTS. WE WERE INSTRUCTED NOT TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT, ESSENTIALLY RENDERING OUR VEHICLE UNUSABLE FOR 4 TO 5 PASSENGERS FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS, NOR COULD THE VEHICLE BE SOLD IF WE HAD DESIRED. TAKATA COMPANY IS UNABLE TO COMPLY WITH THE CORRECTION IN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. NO TEMPORARY SOLUTION HAS BEEN OFFERED. TAKATA IS RESPONSIBLE TO SUPPLY THE VICTIMS WITH COSTS FOR RENTALS. BUY BACK THE VEHICLE OR SETTLE ON A REASONABLE FIGURE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. THEY ARE A FOR PROFIT COMPANY AND ARE AT RISK FOR THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS.
