My first and foremost issue is that the current to recalls that are still open on my vehicle or issues back in 2015 it now being 2023 I recently have been notified of this urgent safety recall on my vehicle APPROXIMATELY 2 -3 months ago of 2023. I received my first recall of these CURRENTlY OPEN safety recalls upon my vehicle. The next day I called a few different shops they stated it would take a few weeks too fit me in. Most definitely being frustrated with this two week duration having to wait to drive my vehicle again making other arrangements far further than just a vehicle of recreational use this vehicle is my livelihood and how I support my family and ONLY vehicle ALSO HAVING A 1-YEAR-OLD AND A 3 YEAR OLD CHILD MAKES EVERYTHING EXTRA COMPLICATED TRYING TO HAVE TO GET AROUND now without my only vehicle with two children dare what I put them in that vehicle now knowing they could possibly have shards of metal explode at any time with the dangerous recall that makes me not even want this vehicle anymore just because of the specific reason... The thought of even putting my children back in that vehicle even if these open recalls even IF these SAFETY RECALLS were timely repaired as promised on every single letter that I have received... Makes me feel completely unsafe knowing that maybe the replacement also could be defected or the dealership lied and didnt replace my airbags and said they did, As I have had a few different Auto mechanic shops say they had replaced items that I paid for them to fix but they were unaware that I had took pictures prior to them working on my vehicle just in case something like so would happen... I can go on and on about this situation long story short since I have received my recall letter I have been promptly trying to get the addressed recalls fixed and I am out of patience and I also an absolutely unsatisfied in every which way possible... I AM DEMANDING THE MANUFACTURER TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE WITH A VEHICLE OF EQUAL W/O RECALLS
I'm always having issues with the airbag light coming on while driving it goes away then come back when there is a sudden move and causes something to trigger. also, I'm having issues with my headlight low mode not working I did a lot of research stating that many people are having the same issue and the problems have to do with the fuse box close to the battery. I'm also having an issue with the brake lamp going off on my dashboard not sure what that could be tried so many repairs and nothing seems to work.

I WANT A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION OF THE DEALERSHIP ,THE FACTORY , AND BRING IN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ON THESE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES ! PLEASE DO SOMETHING SOON , THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH !
I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE AIRBAGS. THIS IS A FREE REPAIR. WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT WHILE DOING THE REPAIR THEY WOULD BREAK MY DASH. I SAID THAT WAS OK AS LONG AS THEY REPLACE THE DAMAGED DASH. MASSEY-YARDLEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO THAT. TRUCK HAS STILL NOT BEEN FIXED.
NO LONGER HAVE THIS TRUCK AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT THIS WEB SIGHT SO I'M TRYING THIS SIGHT. TRADED IN AT GIANT RECREATION WORLD.COM IN MELDBOURN,FL.32940 OVER 5 YEARS AG OR MORE.

"TAKATA RECALL" VEHICLE NEEDS REAPPAIR AND THEY ARE FILING BANKRUPTCY. I ORDERED A PART ALREADY FOR IT BUT NEEDS TO BE ECU NOT SURE IF ITS RELATED SO I AM ORDERING THAT PART BUT I AM UNABLE TO GET THIS DONE BEFORE TODAY, DUE TO NEEDING TO GET THE VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WE LIVE 30 MINUTES FROM TOWN IN THE FOREST, I CAN'T DO A TOW TO GET FIXED SO I AM CONCERNED THAT BECAUSE OF THE BANKRUPTCY, I AM GOING TO BE STUCK WITH A BILL TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE. I TRIED TO HAVE VEHICLE FIXED BEFORE THE 12/27 DEADLINE SO THAT TATKA CAN STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ERRORS AND MY FAMILY CAN BE SAFE AND OTHERS THAT ARE IN THIS VEHICLE.
TAKATA RECALL , I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS ABOUT 10 TIME TO REPLACE AIR BAG. I GET THE SAME ANSWER "WAITING ON NEW AIR BAGS " SO STILL NOT REPLACED , IT HAS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS. ANT IDEAS ?
TAKATA RECALL, I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS INVALID AND IF I HAD NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE DIRECTLY FROM THE CAR MANUFACTURER THEN THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT REPLACE MY PARTS. ANOTHER LOCATION ASKED FOR THE VIN NUMBER, I HAD TO CALL BACK BUT THEY CONTINUOUSLY PUT ME ON HOLD BUT THEN NEVER PICKED UP. I HAVEN'T HAD AN INCIDENT, BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS INFORMATION AND REPAIR IS SUPPOSED TO BE PREVENTATIVE. I'D RATHER NOT HAVE TO SUE FOR MONEY AFTER I'VE BEEN INJURED IF IT'S NOT NECESSARY. I JUST WANT MY VEHICLE REPAIRED.
