Takata recall, received recall for airbags in may 2016 by toyota dealer letter stated (your airbag if exploded could cause serious harm or even death. At this time we cannot fix the problem, we will notify you when the problem can be resolved. We suggest no rider on passenger side.that was nine months ago as of jan 28 2017 have not heard from toyota, I'm just a little person have to use a pillow to see better and the seat has to be real close to steering wheel. If the airbag inflates my face will be gone and I will most likely die. Toyota should do something fast about this matter. I have nothing to upload at this time. Please get toyota to take care of this serious matter before it's to late. Thank you. I could not continue with out putting in a date. No accident so I put the date I received the recall letter from toyota.
I am still waiting for the airbag recall to be remedied. I cannot use my front passenger seat until this is remedied. The recall was in may of 2016 and it is january 28th, 2017. It has not been remedied in a timely fashion which limits the usage of my car.

Takata recall was notified of airbag defect in july 2016. It is january 2017 and no replacement or solution has been offered. Recall recommendation was to have unoccupied passenger front seat until airbag is fixed. This is a major inconvenience for a family vehicle. A call to toyota this morning resulted in no eta for the fixing of this part. This is absolutely unacceptable.
Takata recall been waiting for toyota/scion to fix airbag problem since summer of 2016. Last time I talked to them they said poss jan. Just called again jan 24,2017. Now they say they cannot given a time frame. How long are we suppose to wait? Feel like its an inconvenience because no one can ride w me in the front passenger seat. Which seems ridiculous when its only me and one other person in the car.

Takata recall: received notice of this recall june 2016, toyota dealer we bought from still cannot make repairs/replace airbags. It is a major danger and inconvenience to not be able to use the vehicle. They and toyota seem un-interested in getting this done and should be held liable for the loss of use. If it cannot be reppaired in a timely manner they should provide a loaner or replacement vehicle.

The safety recall notice from toyota had been received in may of 2016. It stated that recall had been issued for takata front passenger airbag inflator. It highly recommended do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat due to danger of inflator rupture during airbag deployment. This rupture can happened any time due to degradation of the propellant in these inflators after prolonged exposure to high humidity and fluctuating temperatures. Seven months later there still no remedy had been issued. I made two phone calls to toyota customer center. First time in october 2016 and second in january 2017 and still did not get any reasonable answers on when this recall would be fixed for our vehicle. Our family just as many others are experiencing extreme inconvenience due to this recall and toyota has not showed any empathy and/or ability of trying to fix this problem. It takes a very long and unreasonable amount of time.
I receive a recall letter for my air bag. I took the car to the toyota dealership about five months a go and was told that I have to wait for toyota to send me a notification. I have not receive any notification from them. I think that five month to wait for them to fix a problem that can result in serious injury or death is unacceptable.
Takata recall. Recall date: may 23, 2016. As of dec. 30, 2016, manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this condition.
"takata recall" this recall has been up sice may, I am currently making payments on a car that I cant drive since I work for uber and lyft. They have yet to come up with a solution.

Takata recall manufacturer has not yet addressed issue
Takata recall: pax side airbag. Notified 6 months ago. Use car intermittently to transport elderly father and obese brother, neither of whom can get into the rear seat area. Toyota offered a loaner car, but will not give me a similar model (they want to give me a tiny corolla); and, will require me to turn in my car. If turned in, I can't get my car back until repaired, and, they will leave it outdoors, exposed to hail and sun (texas). This is unacceptable. I am being deprived of the right to use my car in the customary manner in which it is used.
Takata recall
Takata recall - recall notice was issued on may, 23 2016 and as of december 10, 2016 no remedy is available from the manufacturer. This is far beyond what should be considered a timely resolution to such a severe safety risk.
Takata recall. If it wasn't for an nbc news report on the problem I wouldn't have known that I was at risk. There has been no notification from toyota/scion. I live in florida which was listed as a priority area because of the heat.

We were informed of this recall in august of 2016, and we were advised not to operate the vehicle with a passenger in the front seat. As a family of four, this is extremely inconvenient. It means we can never have an extra passenger, and it means that one adult is always crammed in the back seat with two kids, even on long car trips. We haven't heard a word from toyota since the recall notice, and we're increasingly frustrated, irritated, and unimpressed. By now, toyota should have 1. Kept us updated about fixes, and 2. Offered us a loaner vehicle, since our use of our car is so limited by the recall.
