Takata recall. its been almost a year now since the recall and im still waiting for the toyota dealership to remedy this safety recall.

I had received a recall 1/17 for takata front passenger airbag inflator. i had called immediately to get this fixed but was informed that the dealership does not have the parts in yet. i have not been able to use my vehicle for 5 months so far! i would like a refund for my car payments since the time toyota discovered the airbag defects 6/16. i have not been able to use my vehicle up to its standards and i should not have to pay for a vehicle that is defective. i would also like a loaner car until you can remedy the problem.

Takata recall according to toyota's information my 2009 corolla in now within the period to potentially experience the damages described in the recall and toyota have not taken any steps concerning the necessary parts replacements.

Takata recall: toyota dealership informed me they would notify me if a recall became effective. i have not received any notification.

I received a recall notice over 6 months ago. i contacted the toyota dealer in my area immediately. i was told that the parts were not available. i have called three times in the six month period and each time i have been told that the parts are not available. they also asked me if i purchased the car from them, which i did not. the dealer is grappone in concord nh. i have not been able to have anyone sit in the passenger seat of my car for the past 6 months. this is pure negligence on the part of either the dealer or toyota.

Takata recall after receiving a notification (june 2016) from toyota indicating that i had a takata air bag which had been recalled, i decided to call toyota on oct. 31, 2016 to ask when my recalled takata airbag would be replaced since 4 months had already passed, and i still had not been contacted about when i could bring my car in for the recall/repair. the toyota service center said that they haven't started replacing these airbags because the parts/replacements were still being built and that it could take several more months if not years! i have a young child who rides with me and i find this answer unacceptable. *tr

Takata recall. dealership not providing replacements. vehicle is used primarily and often for transporting disabled elderly adult.

Takata recall the interim notice 16v-340 on the recall was received several months ago. as of october 31, the dealer is telling me that there is still no remedy for the recall, and that it will still take several more months. in the meantime, there is to be no one riding in the passenger seat. thus, the five passenger car i had bought is now, effectively, a four passenger car. my complaint is that they are unable to remedy this safety recall in a timely manner.

Takata inflators...notice received from toyota in may/june 2016 to replace passenger airbag. called today and found out they still don't have a replacement for my car. i am, however, to let no one sit in my front passenger seat, that is so unacceptable. i will have to tell all my passengers not to sit in the front and feel like a taxi driver. reading toyotas info on this recall, it states that the older cars in high temperature places are at of more high risk. i heard that honda has been replacing their faulted airbags in reasonable time. toyota told me they were working on their yaris and still haven't any information on when my call will be taken cared of, i don't think i should be driving such a dangerous car. i have been patient enough. *tr

Takata recall received recall notice in may for takata passenger airbags. toyota dealerships i have called have said that they are unable to help me and repair this life-threatening issue in my vehicle. i am still waiting for this to be resolved and it is taking far too long. driving with a dangerous explosive in my only vehicle that could kill myself or a loved one is unacceptable, especially for this length of time after the problem has been identified. please help!

Takata recall - it's been months since i was notified of this recall and i've attempted multiple times to bring my vehicle in for a repair and have received no fixes at all (i was told to simply not let anyone sit in the front seat--not what i consider to be a reasonable fix). i want it fixed. it's not safe to drive with a passenger. it's simply unacceptable. i want a replacement vehicle; or, to have this fixed immediately.

Takata recall i received the recall notice many months ago. the date below is an approximation.i was told that for safety no one should ride in the front passenger seat. i am still waiting for the repair. this is an unacceptable inconvenience. i feel that i should have been provided with a loaner car.

I need a remedy for the recall on the airbags. i have tried to be patient about the temporary solution of "just don't have anyone ride in the passenger seat" but to have waiting 5 months and still have no solution is outrageous.

I was notified that these defective inflators might go off without warning due,to high heat. i live in south florida and do not have a garage.. i need this fixed now and i have been advised to "wait". do i wait until something awful happens?

Recall for the takata air bag was sent to me on june 9, 2016 by toyota, but dealers in miami, fl do not have the part to replace as of yet. it is now more than 2 months since this letter went out and no action by dealers has been presented. i am worried about the potential problems with this airbag.
