Takata recall I received a recall notice in the mail june 2016. A year later I have still not have a fix for this recall. This is my primary car and I have to drive my kids in this car. My daughter is now a new driver and she has to drive this car. The recall states " until the remedy becomes available we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. This is not an option for me and my family. I have to have someone in the front passenger seat as we are a family of four. I do not feel safe with me or my kids in this car and I think a year is plenty of time to have a fix. I am very unhappy that toyota has not had a fix for this problem.
Takata recall as of 5/5/17, my car has not been repaired. I received notice to schedule an appointment. I did so on 4/7/17 and was told the part needed to be ordered. They would call me back when the part arrived. As of today, 5/5/17, the part has not arrived to round rock toyota (texas). I need to transport passengers in my family car and this delay is endangering them. This is my only car.

Takata recall I received notice nearly 1 year ago and have yet to hear when the problem will be resolved. I have called my local dealership numerous times to be told they don't have the ability to repair/replace at this time.
Takata recall: I got a safety recall on m car for the passenger side air bag, I am not able to drive my car because I have a family of 5. The dealership has had my car since the end of july 2016, they have been nice enough to provide me a rental, however they have had my car for 8 months now, what is going on? I am making car payments on a vehicle that I am not able to drive. What is going to be done about this? I think I need the dealership to give me a new car and give me what I have paid into my car for the last 8 months, on top of what the vehicle is worth private party. Why is this taking so long? This is not my fault for the safety recall.
The toyota dealership told me they can't repair the airbags as the parts are not available.

"takata recall" - still awaiting repair. Received letter from manufacturer in 2016 and notified dealer 'beaver toyota' of st. Augustine fla. To have repaired. Dealer claims they are awaiting parts and o.k. From manufacturer and that I will be notified when to come in for repair. Still waiting to be notified to have repair.
Takata airbag recall other vehicles are getting fixed but mine still does not have a resolution.
Takata recall. I received the recall notice in may 2016 for my vehicle. We have stopped using the passenger seat. This is greatly impacting our lives. We have been waiting 10 months, and there are still no parts available. This is unacceptable. In february 2017, we got a recall notice, for the same issue, on our second car, 2012 toyota corola. We cannot safely transport our family in either car now. We need takata to expedite the repairs and provide us with free transportation in a vehicle that does not put our lives at risk.

Takata recall-received notice of airbag recall in june 2016. It is now february 2017 and on 2/24/2017 I called the hotline to inquire when the problem would be solved. The remedy that the notice gave us was not to have anyone sit in front passenger seat. This has become a problem for us as this is not always possible. I was informed that no remedy has been found yet. Since june 2016 I have received numerous mailings from toyota offering to buy back my car at a low price. It seems like toyota wants us to either turn in our car for a new vehicle or wait until the vehicle is too old to fix. When will this problem be resolved. A temporary fix should have been in place when the original notices were sent but that is not the case. I was told that the dealership should give us a loaner. I am sure that this would not be the case especially when no repair is even available. Can you please advise when the remedy will become available??

Takata recall contacted toyota of tri cites to schedule an appointment to rectify air bag as per toyota's letter of recall received in january 2017. They said no parts available now or in the near future. Would not supply loaner car. Was told to not put passengers in front seat if I was concerned about the problem but probably no big deal due to low humidity in our area.
Takata recall. We have 3 company scions that have had a recall for over six months. Toyota still hasn't called us to have the air bags replaced. When we call, they say their out of stock. I would like them to buy back these vehicles, as it is effecting our company business! The VIN's are [xxx], [xxx], [xxx]. I just received 2 more scion recalls for a total of 5 vehicle in our fleet where we can't take a client or passenger out. I have 7 more scions that I'm sure will be on the recall list, which they are slow to send out and could cost lives!!
