Safety recall dsb from Toyota is for a fault in the ECU. I had the problem during the first recall over a year ago but they had not replaced the faulty ECU. I have been talking to multiple Toyota dealerships who have been telling me that the part for the recall is not available and keep having me call back every 6 months. It has been well over a year of trying to have the repair done for a known problem on my car and I have gotten no answers as to when they will have parts. I do not feel it is safe driving a vehicle with a potential of the air bags deploying at any point. I find it hard to believe that well over a year after this has happened Toyota still can Dodge providing parts for the repair.

Toyota has not been able to provide a fix for their recall NHTSA recall number: 15V043 since January 2015. This is way too long. Their new solution (mailed to us in August 2015) is to avoid seating anyone in the front passenger seat - which is a ridiculous and unacceptable request. They need to fix this now.
