Air Bags · reported Oct 12, 2015
Parts are on back order and dealer requires that I bring in the car to "link" it to the back order and then they will schedule an appointment... This is unacceptable. They have my VIN; why should I have to physically drive far out of my way to schedule an appointment?

Consumer complaint concerning the 2004 sc430 welded firewall. The consumer explained to the dealer that the vehicle pulled to the right while driven. This problem has not been resolved by the dealer. At the 10000 mile checkup the body was welded at the left firewall and the left side bumper was then properly attached. The consumer feels that the vehicle was sold in an unsafe condition.
