Takata recall. this recalled was published on 9 january 2017 and it still shows a status of "incomplete with a remedy not yet available". yet, there is a safety risk of serious injury or death. i have contacted my local service dealer and the only recommendation is that we not use the front passenger seat. this is virtually impossible if you have a family. we are also of transferring to europe on military orders in june and haven't heard back from them. if the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the nhtsa vehicle safety hotline at: 1-888-327-4236 or tty: 1-800-424-9153 or file an online complaint with nhtsa.

Takata recall - i have not received any information on when my car will be fixed. my son uses this for college and often transports fellow students. i bought this car for this purpose and according to advice, should not allow passengers in the front seat. toyota has not scheduled any contact with us to remedy the situation. this is now unacceptable. they should be held accountable to fix this situation immediately.

Takata inflators

Takata recall i keep getting flyers in the mail about the recall but every time i call the toyota dealership they say they can't get the replacement airbags to install in my car. what is going on? the flyers even say not to allow a passenger to sit in the front seat? how am i supposed to comply with that when this has gone on for a year now?

Takata recall - this problem was identified in jan 2017 and it is nearly sept 2017 and there has been no resolution. i feel that this is a major safety concern to my family.

Takata recall: airbag replacement is not being performed in a timely fashion. i'm terrified to drive my 4 runner due to possible defect. this has been a extreme hardship on my family. i have been waiting for a replacement for months. i find this situation very unfair to the vehicle owner. i cannot trade my vehicle at this time, so i'm stuck with no option but to drive the defected vehicle and take a chance on being injured or dying, or park it for what 2 years? this is unacceptable.

Takata recall: it has been one year since the recall, and toyota has not fixed the problem.

Takata recall - received notice of recall a year ago and have not received an update since. airbags need to be replaced immediately as i often have passengers in car for work.

Takata recall. when can i expect to get the air bag system replaced or repaired! my local toyota dealer keeps saying the parts are not available..

I was first one waiting at the light, traveling eastbound on butler/airport rd. when the light turned green, i proceeded through the intersection. when i was about halfway to three-quarters through the intersection, i noticed a mini cooper approaching rapidly, heading northbound on shute rd. i knew she was going to hit me, so i attempted to swerve left to avoid a high impact collision. i didn't hear her brakes until the point of impact, she t-boned my 4runner hitting me in the rear passenger side near the wheel well. my 4runner than tipped and rolled upside down. i waited until the 4runner stopped moving, unbuckled the seat belt and flipped over to the ground (now the roof of the vehicle). i looked at the window and attempted to pull/push the side curtain airbag out of the way, i even tried kicking it a few times, but it was still inflated and wouldn't budge. i remembered that i kept a pocketknife in the center console. i looked for it, and saw it on the ground. i got the nail file section open, but that didn't do anything to the airbag. i then heard someone outside the vehicle shout 'help is on the way, they'll get you out'. i asked her if she could help me cut the airbag, and handed her the knife through the gap between the airbag and the car frame. she tried to cut the cord that connected the airbag to the car but that didn't work, so i told her just to slit the bag itself. she was able to do that, and helped me get out of the vehicle. i took pictures of the vehicle overturned a few minutes later, and the passenger side airbag was still inflated. i can provide this picture upon request. the vehicle was totaled, and is now property of state farm, claim #[xxx]. my concern is that if there was a vehicle fire and i did not have a pocket knife, i would not have been able to exit the vehicle. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
