Takata recall - i am very disappointed with how subaru is handling my recall repair. i made an appointment with bay ridge subaru in brooklyn ny on 11/21/16 to have the work done to replace my airbag on 12/19/16, they took my vehicle make, model and vin and assured me they had the part in stock and were holding it for this apt. i even received an email confirming this information. i received a call on 12/16 saying they didn't have the part and that my appointment had no vehicle information in it. the service manager i spoke with told me that i should take the car to where i purchased it for recall repairs. i'm highly disappointed. not only have lost out on the full use of my vehicle since the recall was announced 6 months ago, this episode has reduced my confidence in subaru's commitment to correcting this problem. *tr
