I took the truck in for regular maintenance and was told they had to keep the truck for a recall. They gave me a loaner car but it has now been three weeks. No one can tell me when there will be a fix for this recall. Since leaving it a second recall has been issued and there is no fix for this one as well. 3 weeks is excessive by anyone's definition. Dealer won't return phone calls. Toyota corporate told me it was…

I took my truck to the dealer for recall no. 17v-285 on may 15, 2017. It remains there for 3 and half months with no date for completing the repair (due to part not available, i was told). During the wait, i received another recall notice, 17v-356. The length of the wait is unreasonable. I would like nhtsa to help the address and remedy the situation thank you.

Took my truck to dealer for 15k routine service/oil change. They announced a recall regrading a "leaking rear differential" advised keeping the truck until repairs were completed,(provided rental) but no time frame for completion. This is causing a hardship on both my personal and work related travel (i go out of state a lot)
