Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. the contact received nhtsa campaign number: 19v741000 (air bags) and inquired of manufacturer and dealer resposnibility in regards to the recall remedy. the contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under an unknown air bag recall at an unknown dealer however, he was not satisfied with the repairs as the dealer left adhesive glue visible on the dashboard and paneling that was removed to replace the passenger side air bag. the contact spoke to a supervisor at toyota customer experience whom informed him to take the vehcile to another toyota dealer for the current recall remedy however it was not guaranteed that toyota would be financially responsible to replace the dashboard as it was not a part of the recall. the failure mileage was 18,000.

I brought my truck to miller toyota dealer at 1331 n. euclid st, anaheim, ca 92801 on nov-26, 2019. and they stated that part was not available, and they would contact me when they have the part, would take couple days. since, i several times, texted, emails and left voice mails for when they have part, but i have not heard back from them since.

Takata recall while truck was at dealership having an electrical problem troubleshot was informed by dealership about air bag recall and that recall would be done at same time. passenger air was replaced at this time. after truck sat a dealership for extended period eventually got truck back. everything appeared normal. after several months to a year started noticing an odd appearance on the passenger air bag cover. this area began having a sticky feeling to it. placed a paper napkin on the air bag cover and had part of the napkin stick to the cover. during one of the recent heat spells with the interior of the truck reaching a high temperature discovered that the air bag cover has been spray painted to match interior color of truck. this makes that area of the dash look disgusting plus you can no longer lay an object there without it getting stuck to the dash. am able to push paint and see that original color of air bag cover is black.

Takata recall

I received a recall on my trucks airbag control module took my truck to dealer they said they would order the part and call me to make an appointment for installation i went back three times to dealer with no success also the recall they made on my truck last year the frame rusting out did not last every thing they did fell off the frame of my truck is this truck safe to drive

4/12/17 i called to schedule replacement of my recalled air bag vin:6s457928 toyota tundra 2006 mgr. nancy (toyota dealership south blvd. charlotte) refused to schedule appointment with out me providing my phone number. she would even let me talk to her mgr. tod grub or leave message for him. she was plain rude so i asked her to give me something in writing "refusal to replace air bag due to customer unwillingness to release phone number" she refused that too. i tried to educate mgr nancy that all you need and all you can get in this situation is my title and my id. i hope that you see and address the room for improvement and risk they keep us in.

I have been trying for a year to have the air bags replaced under the recall with maita toyota and folsom lake toyota dealerships in california. i just got off the phone and they parts could still take a year to come in. this is nonsense. why are they allowed to not have the parts needed to replace a dangerous situation that is their fault. why do i have to assume the risk of having my face blown off because they don't want to spend the money to make things right. as usual the corporations get away with murder while the individuals pay the price. the dealerships need to be made to make things right and get these safety recalls taken care of.

My vehicle has been in the dealer (liberty toyota) for the past three months for ecu passenger airbag issues. to date, toyota corporate engineers have not been able to fix the issue. my service manager told me that this issue has happened in two other states in the country. i elevated the problem today to toyota corporation and they have assigned a case number to it.

I scheduled a repair at dave edwards toyota. was told to come in at 10am, and i could pick up the vehicle at 12 noon. it is a 60 minute drive both ways, and i had my wife pick me up and when i returned at 12 noon, the vehicle had not been repaired, and was not given an explanation why. the vehicle still has not been repaired.

My truck has a recall on the air bag, the recall stated do not have anyone in the front seat. i have handicap people who cannot get in the back seat. if someone hits me my passenger can be injured or killed. i called to get an appointment for replacement and it is up to 4 months out. under the circumstances this is unacceptable and i feel toyota should provide a rental car till the air bag can be replaced.

Takata recall-we received a letter from toyota a month ago stating that "toyota has completed parts preparation for vehicles in your geographic area". i contacted the dealer and was told there is a national back order of the part and that it would take 3-4 months for the part to come in. until then , no one is to drive in the passenger seat of the truck which makes the vehicle virtually unusable. the recall has been in effect for almost a year and now we are being told it wll be another 1/3 of a year before it is addressed.

Takata inflators toyota notified me that replacement parts were available in my geographic area in february 2016. when i called to schedule an appointment, i was told that parts were not available until september 2016. this is an unacceptable time frame to repair a defective vehicle. are there any other remedies?

Takata recall still waiting to be able to use this vehicle safely. unacceptable waiting time! was told today that "they send them at will" and "it looks like it will be a lengthy waiting time but you are welcome to check back periodically"!!! this an urgent safety recall and has resulted in deaths!

Takata recall. airbag recall. safety recall: e04. 2006 toyota tundra. experiencing hardship and inconvenience to business due to excessive wait for new parts to remedy defective parts in recall. shameful lack of response from toyota to remedy this deadly safety issue and to make right by owners inconvenienced by toyota product malfunction.

Takata recall- according to nhtsa recall number 15v285, this recall was issued on june 16, of 2015. i just received my recall notice from toyota last week, a full nine months later. is this delay permissible? my mailing address is known to toyota and it hasn't changed in four years. this is very upsetting to learn about so late- not know my grand kids or others should not have been in the front passenger seat. also, regarding nhtsa campaign number 16v065000- how long should i expect to wait for a recall notice? the dealership tells me they can do nothing until toyota notifies them. *tr

Urgent safety recall notice received. our local dealership says they can only get 1 repair kit a week from toyota, so it will be 2 months before we can get this fixed. in the meantime, we are told no one should ride in the front passenger seat. this does not seem like a timely remedy to a dangerous defect.

Received a safety recall notice from toyota some time back in regards to the passenger air bag. notice does not indicate when the remedy can be performed, but does recommend not allowing anyone to ride in the font passenger seat. this is beyond words. how is this possible, put some pressure on the manufacturer. it is their problem, make them fix it now. telling someone not to use a passenger seat in a pickup is asinine. recall is pathetic.

We received a notification regarding a safety recall for our toyota tundra 2006. it says that toyota doesn't currently have the parts to repair the passenger side airbag which may be under pressure and could deploy at anytime. we were advised not to utilize the passenger side of our vehicle until we are contacted for a repair. this advise has not been possible since we have another car in the shop and we have needed to commute together. we do not feel that we should have to rent a car. it's unreasonable that toyota would expect their loyal customers to "wait" for a repair that is their responsibility and in the meantime not use their vehicle. it has been over three weeks since we received the recall notification and we have not heard from toyota that our repair can be scheduled. we believe that toyota has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time and we want this recall to be remedied immediately for the safety of our family. thank you *tr
