“We use our vehicle not only for our business but also share it on the Turo platform for rentals. Because of this recall our vehicle as been unlisted until the recall is fixed. It has now been over a month and we have received no solution to the safety recall issue. It’s not only costing us peace of mind as we need to continue using the vehicle ourselves but it’s also costing us money as we havnt been able to rent out the vehicle due to the safety recall not being addressed . We find this delay to be unacceptable”
