Takata recall i received a notice stating that "toyota has completed parts preparation for vehicles in your geographic area" yet when i call our local toyota dealer, they tell me that toyota is only allowing them to order 1 part per week!! they have put my name on the list, but said they will see me in about a year. this is not acceptable. this is my teenage daughter's vehicle and this issue needs fixed now, not a year from now. she has already been driving it too long with this unsafe defect. what is toyota going to do if something happens between now and when they decide to let dealers order more than 1 part per week?? i would like an explanation and a solution to this problem for a quicker repair!

Received recall notice sometime in august 2015 due to airbag defect; 2nd notice in sept. 2015. i called my totota dealer and phone # on notice. i was told no one should sit in front passenger seat until replaced. parts are unavailable. its now been well over 2 months and still unable to correct problem. i was told i could rent a car , $25 per day, but would have to keep rental until car repair was completed, and no time frame on when parts would be available. if i did rent a car, it would have already cost me over $700.00. what good is having a car that you cannot use when you want to. i already canceled small vacation in september. when i contacted toyota, all they could say was there is still no time frame on when parts would be available.

Recall on the airbag inflator module and the dealer tells us that it's been over 6 weeks and toyota has not given them a fix. the notice we received from toyota says not to use the front passenger seat. this takes away a primary function of the vehicle.

Takata recall. it has been almost 6 months since we received the interim recall notice from toyota. we have heard nothing since. toyota is acting in an unethical and dangerous manner by taking so long to remedy this potentially fatal defect. as a couple that almost always travels together in the corolla, we have been denied the use of our vehicle by toyota. this is a loss and we are being held hostage by toyota. because, we might as well not have the vehicle, but can't in good conscience unload it on someone else. the interim recall notice from toyota calls it an 'inconvenience' and warns us not to operate the vehicle with a passenger. we have been patient, but our patience is at an end. now, we are angry and it is only reasonable that if our toyota is not repaired in the next 60 days, we will avail ourselves of every legal and ethical means to be compensated for our loss and the untenable and dangerous situation toyota has put (and kept) us in.

A month ago i received a recall notice from toyota for the front passenger side airbag, alerting me that it is unsafe to transport passengers in the car at this time. this is exceptionally inconvenient, as i have a chronically ill partner who needs to be driven to doctor's appointments, etc. i am writing to complain about what i believe is an unreasonable amount of time for the company to supply the part.

I received a notice in the mail over a month ago from toyota stating that my vehicle's air bag inflators "may have been manufacture in such a way as to have a potential for the intrusion of moisture over time...this could create excessive internal pressure when the air bag is deployed and cause the inflator to rupture...metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death." this is a fatal potential manufacturing error. it is also an extreme inconvenience, as i do not feel comfortable having passengers sit in the passenger seat due to the issue. i have made 2 calls to my local toyota dealer, as well as one call to the toyota customer experience center. my toyota dealer informed me that they do not have the parts, both times, and the toyota customer experience center reported that they "do not have a remedy for the problem as of yet." i am appalled with the lack of attention this recall is receiving. i feel toyota has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time. this is my official complaint to the administrator, national highway safety administration. please inform toyota of my discontent with their inability to make right a serious issue in a timely manner. sincerely, xx information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
