“Toyota has issued a recall for the supplemental restraint system and electronic control unit in march 2015. My car's airbag light is illuminated intermittently and the Toyota dealer recommends the ecu be replaced. I have been in contact with Toyota and my call has been escalated several times but they still are not fixing my car. Toyota says that there is no remedy available. I am very concerned about my airbags deploying accidentally. I do not feel that Toyota is taking my safety or my family's safety seriously. …”
