Takata recall - called dealer to schedule fix for recall, and was told that they could not schedule me until june 24, and until then i should not have anyone in my passenger seat. They said the delay was because there were so many cars that needed to be fixed they could not schedule anyone until at least then. That is unacceptable.

The only remedy offered was to replace the entire seat at a cost exceeding $2000. Not cost effective for…
