Takada recall i am writing because my takada airbags have been under recall for an extended period of time. every single attempt (multiple attempts) have gone unreturned, despite the fact that i have called 888-546-1750 on multiple occasions! because this recall as the potential to cause either injury or death, i would think it would be in takada, toyota and my best interest to get back to me. i am very dissatisfied with the recall and very dissatisfied with how the toyota recall team has not contacted me. there is a second recall on the doors for the toyota sienna. because i cannot get a hold of the recall team, i can also not schedule an appointment to get this recall addressed in my vehicle. this is unexcusable!

Making a right hand turn and i believe the truck in front of me lost the trailer hitch. i was only traveling about 15 mph. drove over a trailer hitch in the road and all the airbags deployed, causing a violent stop to the van and injuries and shock to my daughter and myself

Takata recall. it has been almost a year and half since toyota informed me that i shouldn't allow anyone to ride in the front seat of my van. you can imagine the inconvenience this has caused!!! now they say there is a solution but the toyota dealers claim they don't have the air bags and they don't know when they will get them. my family is not safe in my vehicle. how long should i have to deal with their incompetence and disregard for the safety of my family?

Manufacturer did not proceed with the recall yet, beyond reasonable time.

Takata recall. two "interim" notices received already for my 2012 toyota sienna since 2016-17 and the airbag have been discovered to be defected long before that, and yet still no remedy. it is unacceptable that their current solution for me and my family is to not operate the car with a front passenger. this is absolutely absurd. this car is my family's main car, someone always have to be in the front seat when we drive the whole fandom mily. and we are scared to death that one or more of us will be seriously injured or killed when our family is in the car. the remedy should have been available already since the defected airbag have been discovered since april 2013.

It is completely unacceptable that toyota is recommending "that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat" as an interim solution to the airbag recall. i have a large family and absolutely rely on that front seat and they are telling me not to use it. they must offer reasonable accommodations to ensure that my family is safe, including a free rental if needed. i will not accept their recommendation and they must provide a reasonable alternative and get this resolved very quickly.

Takata recall & door recall - i am trying to sell my vehicle privately because i purchased a new vehicle and now i am unable to sell it as there is no remedy and toyota has recommended that no one should sit in the front passenger seat --- really?there needs to be pressure on toyota to fix immediately

Takata recall: i began talking to toyota's 1800 # on tuesday, february 21 about needing a loaner car because our 2012 sienna is affected by the takata recall. on the 23rd of february, the dealer don mcgill toyota located at kirkwood/i-10 called saying they could offer us a chrysler town & country van but only that one day. my wife was out of town until saturday, but i was told they couldn't hold the loaner car that long. the representative than suggested that a dealership closer to our home could help me better and transferred my information to a dealer at i-10/mason road in katy. no one has ever called me from this location and i have left 3 messages on the service manager's line without a call back.

Takata recall 'received notice for nhtsa campaigns: 17v006 (air bags) & 16v858 (structure) for our family vehicle. we have 4 small kids that require car seats so it is not feasible for the front passenger seat to not be used. per notice, i called toyota and visited a local dealership in february 2017 to discuss the issue and request a rental or discount on a replacement vehicle. was informed rentals were limited to $35/day which would only provide a mid-size car (would not fit my family) and no replacement vehicle option was available. then in march 2017, the sliding door opened while driving. thankfully we had just left the house and no one was injured, but we are fearful for our lives and the safety of our children as we do not know when this may happen again. with the amount of time the airbag recall has existed and being told by the dealership not to expect a fix until 2018 at the earliest, the manufacturer has exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs and is unwilling to provide any form of alternate transportation that will provide for the safety of my family.

Takata recall: no remedy after 2 months notice. toyota solution is to not sit in front passenger seat until solution is found. no timeline. not acceptable. please encourage toyota to find solution or replace with a comparable vehicle.

Takata recall. i have waited months for toyota to fix this, with no action. the recall for side-panel sienna doors has also not been addressed.

Takata recall to whom it may concern, my toyota sienna has been under recall for the takata airbag issue since january. my family is impacted as we are not able to use our vehicle as we need with the addition of a third child. my interactions with toyota since january have been very displeasing including them telling my wife to "go ahead and use the front passenger seat" since the research and data show the propellant will not degrade until next summer. this was blatant disregard for the health and safety of my family since we had a recall notice that told us not to use the front passenger seat. the "projected" fix for this problem is september 2017. in my opinion, toyota has not corrected this issue in a timely fashion.
