Takata recall ... it's been a year since we received the recall notice. each time we contact our dealership we're told the fix is not ready yet. it's difficult to believe toyota is taking this seriously if they can first say our lives are at risk and then diddle around for a full year without doing anything about it beyond sending out a letter. do they get federal credit for responding to a recall situation when all they've done is post a letter to us????

Over one (1) year ago i received a safety recall notice on this vehicle stating that the electronic control unit (ecu) would need to be replaced. over a year later and "remedy not available" is the response from toyota. it appears that the remedy is to delay, delay, delay so as many of these cars as possible are retired and do not require repair. please let me know how this recall problem is going to be resolved in a timely manner.

the fix for this recall is long overdue! what action is being taken to expedite the fix? we have been waiting close to 7 months for this repair! nhtsa recall number: 15v043 recall date: january 27, 2015 manufacturer recall number: e3g summary: the electronic control unit (ecu) for the supplemental restraint system (srs) in these vehicles could have been manufactured with integrated circuits that are susceptible to internal short circuiting when exposed to certain electrical noise from various vehicle electrical components. if internal short circuiting occurs, the front airbag(s) and/or seat belt pretensioners could inadvertently deploy. an airbag that deploys inadvertently can, under some circumstances, increase the risk of minor injury and the possibility of a crash. safety risk: if internal short circuiting occurs, the front airbag(s) and/or seat belt pretensioners could inadvertently deploy. an airbag that deploys inadvertently can, under some circumstances, increase the risk of minor injury and the possibility of a crash.

I received a safety recall notice from toyota in january 2015. the instructions say they are working on a remedy for the srs ecu. i have called them twice and submitted a complaint to you once regarding the unreasonable delay in implementing the 'remedy'. they continue to say to wait until they have replacement parts. it is beginning to feel like a stalling process waiting for my persistence to weaken. the potential problem includes reports of inadvertent airbag deployment. someone needs to provide them with some encouragement. is that your job?

Airbag lights blink. brought the car in to two toyota dealers and they said that there is a recall on this item however they do not have the parts to fix the problem. car was in shop for over a week till i finally got tired of the stalling tactic. it appears that toyota is not complying with their agreement to fix the problem. in a different dealership they said they do have the parts but have no available appointments for quite some time. am getting very concerned that this dangerous situation is not being handled properly and responsibly. *tr

Recall notification issued over 1 year ago, no remedy available currently. local toyota dealer offers no direction. this is not being handled appropriately considering the potential deadly consequences.

Airbag illuminates at different times while driving. this has been a recurring problem since 2003. when recall notice was received took car into toyota dealer for repair. upon arriving at home with vehicle noticed that inside dome ceiling lights blinks on and off until ignition is turned off. returned to toyota one week later to report problem. i was told that the system was resetting and that the blinking would stop. during the next three weeks the blinking continued and the airbag continued to illuminate while driving. i returned to the dealer and three hours later was told that the car has a $700 electrical problem that needed repair and that would fix both problems. the car did not have an electrical problem when it was initially taken into the dealer. they are trying to get additional monies to make up for fixing the airbag problem for free. toyota headquarters is responsible for seeing that their dealerships honor the repair requests and do them correctly. *tr
