I accepted a recall to replace the passenger air bag by the dealer evenston subaru, 3340 oakton str, skokie, ill, 60076; after this recall replacement was performed, my car had problems like the passenger window did not opperate from the commend button of the same door and the power outlet from the middle console did not have power. The dealer that produced these troubles refuse to support the cost of repair.

Takata recall. I received notice and responded. Called subaru dealers and soonest they can schedule is november 2019. Roughly 7 months out. This recall is a big deal. This is a safety issue that needs to be repaired in a timely matter. 7 months is to much. Within a month is acceptable.

At 33 weeks, this is the farthest she's ever come along in a pregnancy. If this baby comes, then it means…

Takata recall: informed that no one can sit in the passenger seat until parts are replaced and that there are no parts available. Our normal usage of the vehicle requires loading in the back and a driver and passenger in the front. Local subaru dealers have been unable to find us a loaner vehicle for use until our vehicle is fixed. This is unacceptable.
