Takata recall, I was contacted as to the repair of my vehicle. I was informed that I need to bring the vehicle in for the repair either late in the evening and it would be returned the next day. When asked what accommodation would I receive will they had car for repairs I was informed that there would be none. I cant understand how after waiting also a year to have car repaired I now have to be inconvenienced to have my car repaired for something that could lead to bodily harm even death. I can not understand how I am suppose to get my vehicle repaired if I do not have away to drop it off or pick it up. This is unfair and truly wrong.. this is not my responsibility this is theirs and they should have to pay for all cost
