Takata recall i received a recall notice and immediately brought my vehicle to the toyota dealer on 3/29. they said they would call when they receive the parts. it is now 5/10 and i called because i hadn't heard from them. when i called they said the parts have been back ordered and they have no idea when they will come in. in the meantime, they remind me not to use my passenger seat. i feel frustrated that this problem will persist for an undisclosed amount of time.

Takata recall. i called the local toyota dealership where i purchased the vehicle: boch toyota south, 620 south washington st north attleboro ma on may 5, 2016 and was put on a waiting list as they did not have the part to correct the defect. i called again on june 29, 2016 and was told again that they did not have the part and that this might take at least an additional 60 days! this is unacceptable as i cannot have anyone sitting in the front passenger until the vehicle is repaired. i have had other vehicles recalled in the past and have never had to wait this long for a defect to be repaired.

1-takata recall: toyota dealerships have not provided the recall service yet. 2-the steering wheel vibrates too much that causes hand numbness.

Takata recall- i have made a trip to my toyota of louisville dealer a few weeks past to have my car air bag replaced after getting a recall in the mail. they informed me they did not have the part but would order it and call me when it came in, still no call. i called last week but could not talk to anyone but left my number but my call was not returned. i called today 7/5/16 and all i got was a runaround and a apology from the cashier and was told again the part was not available. i do not feel that i need to be driving with a car that could kill or injure me. if they cannot repair my car i feel that they should loan me a car that is safe until the part is available. if i should become fatally injured an apology will do me or my widow any justice.

Takata recall i brought our 2007 corolla into pauly toyota in crystal lake illinois on april 25, 2016 because they received the replacement part for the recall. in the process of replacing it, their mechanic broke a part and they had to order a new replacement part. it is now sept. 29, 2016 and they have not received the part yet. the next estimated date the dealership may receive the part is the end of october. as of now my car has been sitting in their parking lot for 5 months. obviously the end of oct will be 6 months. the toyota customer service number tells me i have to deal with the dealership but according to the dealership they don't know what is going on or when i may get my car back. i feel toyota is not being upfront with information and their customer service people should know more than the individual dealerships. please let me know if there is information for me. thank you! *tr

Dealer has failed to remedy the defect in a reasonable time frame (over 1 month since first contacting dealer)

Takata recall- i've been attempting to have the passenger airbag replaced on my 2007 toyota corolla for several months now. my local dealership (folsom lake toyota, 12747 folsom blvd, folsom ca 95630) has been very uncooperative in making this airbag replacement occur. when i initially contacted them approximately 2 months ago, they stated that the airbag part had to be ordered and that they would contact me when it had arrived. i waited a month and never received a call back. when i contacted them again, they did state the part was in. when i attempted to make an appointment to bring it in and have the airbag replaced, they stated that their appointment system (computer) was not allowing an appointment to be made. it appears that this car dealership is not interested in repairing safety issues with the cars that they sell and are making excuses not to do these repairs.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. the contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver side spiral cable was defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. prior to the failure, the vehicle was remedied under nhtsa campaign number: 15v286000 (air bags). the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the contact was made aware of nhtsa campaign number: 14v168000 (air bags); however, the vin was not included in the recall. the failure mileage was approximately 131,837.

Takata recall. i have been told that it may take up to 10 weeks before the parts are available to repair my airbag. in the meantime i am driving a vehicle which may kill my passenger if the airbag is used. toyota will not pay for a rental to prevent a injury or death during the ten weeks before this vehicle is repaired and they are telling me to have people sit in the back seat. they are playing with peoples lives while waiting for this to be repaired.

Takata recall. last year i received a letter saying that my corolla had a recall for airbags. i took my car to frank toyota in in national city california. they told me they didn't have the parts and that i would receive notice when they did. on march 21 of this year i received a letter from toyota saying that toyota had completed parts preparation in my area and to take it to any dealer as soon as possible. i called frank toyota on the 21st. after being on hold for several minutes they told me they did not have the parts for my car and it would take 2 to 3 weeks. i immediately called chula vista toyota on main street and talk to javier. he told me to bring in my car anytime and they would fix it. i took it in today saturday, march 26 and it was completed.

Takata recall months ago i received a letter in the mail stating my vehicle was apart of the recall. i've called multiple times about setting up an appointment to get my air bag fixed and have had no luck in getting it fixed. they keep telling me i should receive a yellow paper when it's available.

2007 toyota corolla. consumer writes in regards to replacement parts to repair faulty airbag recall not available. *smd

Toyota sends recall notices. for the past year dealer keeps telling us that they do not have the equipment necessary to make the repair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we keep calling, they keep telling us they can't make the repair or replace the passenger side airbag. have contacted toyota directly, toyota did not seem interested in problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. while at a stop with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle independently accelerated. as a result, the contact crashed into a garage and the air bags failed to deploy. the contact did not sustain any injuries. a police report was not filed. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v285000 (air bags). the failure mileage was 50,000.

Takata recall: i received the safety recall notice (interim notice) re the front passenger airbag inflator module from toyota months ago, though i noticed that there is no date on it. it states: ". . . we will send you another notification once sufficient parts have been produced and the remedy can be performed." i've heard nothing since. news of another automobile manufacturer's recall prompted me to wonder why i haven't heard from toyota again after all this time. i called a local toyota dealership and they advised that they have the parts needed and scheduled a service appointment for tomorrow, for which i am grateful. my complaint is the fact that i have heard nothing from toyota after the interim notice even though those "sufficient parts have been produced and the remedy can be performed." i wonder how many other toyota owners are still out there waiting for "another notification," which may or may not be sent to them. i hope toyota is being held accountable regarding getting the notifications to toyota owners in a timely manner. i don't think the company did that in my case.

Takata recall - i received the recall notice for my vehicle and immediately called my toyota dealer to schedule an appointment for the repair to be made. the service manager told me it would be about 8 weeks until they could fix it. i asked why so long, and he informed me that toyota will only and then one part per week. i cannot believe that what seems to be a serious safety issue, is not being treated as such. i would like to know why is toyota doing this, potentially risking the lives of how many tens of thousands of people, in an effort to do what, save a buck? i would greatly appreciate an answer. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).' *tr
