There is a current recall on my 2020 camry. I was notified by email in December 2023. It is for the passenger side air bag. I do not feel safe driving the car since being made aware of the recall. The Toyota dealership I go to has said there is nothing they can do as there is no remedy for this recall. I also have had multiple issues over the years with the sensors and battery. I bought the car brand new, with 2 miles I rolled off the lot. A few days after purchasing it my battery died. My battery died multiple times within the first few months, sensors did not work, screen display was off, Toyota said they had to reset the computer software. There was an issue draining the battery. Fast forward to November 2023, I had to buy a new battery. Even though I have had issues with the battery since purchasing the brand new car, I had to pay for the battery out of pocket. Toyota said I just barely missed the warranty. Now once again I have issues with the parking sensors not working and the rear camera display not showing. I get the notification RCD unavailable. Even though my camera is clean and was checked at the dealership. I feel as if I have bought a bad car from the start. And now I do not feel safe driving it as well as being completely frustrated with it. What can I do?
