I called toyota about 4 months ago and they said there is no fix for it. And I got another letter today. The passenger side airbag light comes on sometimes for no reason.

"takata recall" we received a recall on our takata airbags the day of my accident. I came to a stop on the street and one car was going to make a left hand turn when I was rear ended by another car. Causing damage to me and my passenger. For some reason the airbags did not deploy. Creating a dangerous situation either way. We could've been both severely injured and the fact that they didn't deploy we was still injured. I have never been late on a payment, I bought the full service package for the vehicle and our vehicle was never fixed properly over the course of 6+ months that toyota had the vehicle. No we have a vehicle that we are uncertain about driving because it can harm me, my wife and my son while we are all in the car. We feel that the takata airbags are not in just the passenger side but its on the drivers side and the whole car. So we are still driving in fear. We also have a limited edition scion, 849 of 2500 made in the us.
Takata recall-- recvd notice of recall in august 2016. Called beaman pontiac immediately and part was not in. To this day part is not in. My son is driving this car and is 24 so he cannot have a rental. He drives all the time for his job and has his wife with him most of the time. She is not going to ride in the back seat all the time. She could be killed if a wreck occurred. This is not acceptable. I have called several times and nothing can be done.
The recall has been in effect since may 2016, I have not been able to get my air bag replaced over a year later. What can I do to get this done?
Takata recall - received recall notice in march and still no resolution yet. We are told that we can't drive the car with a person in the passenger seat. This is ridiculous that this fix is taking so long. We rely on our car for family transportation and this is preventing us from riding in the car safely.

Takata recall. I received notice sometime around june/july 2016 of the airbag recall. I have been calling toyota of northbrook, the dealer we purchased the car from, and they have been unable to provide any information as to when this air bag will be repaired. We are planning a trip in august 2017 and need either to have the airbag replaced or a loaner at no cost for the trip.

"takata recall" it ia about a year from the recall. Owners were called to avoid using passenger seat instead, otherwise any person there would dead . So I became "uber" driver? How can guarantee the safety of my family seating in front? The car now is just for 4 passengers....for a year...we need a solution, I can not even sell the car like that....
Took car to thomas toyota in joliet, il and they said they would contact me as to when I could bring the car in for repair. Never heard back from dealer. Who else can I bring the car to for replacement of the airbags?

Tankata recall it's a potentially deadly recall and it is taking toyota 9 almost 10 months to get my car repaired. This should be unacceptable to toyota and the nhsta. I cannot use my passenger seat for 10 months? Ridiculous.

"takata recall"
Takata recall. It has been almost a year since being informed by mail of the recall. Have yet to receive a scheduled repair notice.. This is totally unacceptable. Respectfully, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
Takata recall the toyota dealer is refusing to help me locate the part to fix the recall. My car was in zone a and I moved and now I am being told it could take months to get it fixed. I have to drive disable people to work and I can't do my job or ensure the safety of people till this is done.
