Takata airbags. I've called for the recall and they told me I have to wait. So if I crash with my children and airbags deploy it won't matter because they aren't ready. I live in arizona where it's hot and humid both conditions they said would make the airbag worse.
Takata recall waiting on a fix... Waiting...
Takata recall I was notified several months ago of the airbag recall, but there is still no remedy available. This is causing a significant inconvenience to me, as I am unable to carry passengers in my front seat. I am also unable to participate in the class-action lawsuit against takata because I have not been eligible to have the problem repaired.

Takata recall. Received safety recall notice (interim notice) over a year ago. Contacted toyota 3/16, and again 8/17 and was told "parts not available" for repair. Why is it taking so long for toyota to correct a dangerous recall?
Takata recall. I received notice of the recall of my front passenger airbag inflators. The advice in the letter is to not allow any occupants in the front seat until the remedy becomes available.

Takata inflators and window recall. My complaint is I have two active recalls on my scion xb, one dating back to 2015, with scion/toyota not being able to fix either recall. In january 2017 I got a letter about the defective airbag that stated do not let anyone ride in passenger seat. This is a family car, my only family car, I cannot indefinetly not have passangers in my car. The 2015 recall involves a window issue that can cause a fire. The windows work but squeaks and has rub marks on the glass. Toyota has had ample time to fix both issues. How long has this airbag problem been? Several years at least and now the airbag manufacturer has gone bankrupt. I paid for a fully functioning car yet I can't put anyone in the passenger seat?!?!

Takata recall - this recall for the passenger side airbag was issued in january 2017. I have been calling to find out when we can get the vehicle repaired. It is now may, and there is still not a remedy available. We need to have a passenger in that seat because we use this vehicle for work purposes.

Takata recall - toyota has failed to remedy this defect within a reasonable time. The dangerous issue with takata airbags has been known for a long time and toyota should be forced to replace the front airbags that are equipped with defective inflators. Toyota sent a notice out on 1/9/2017; however, it did not include a replacement remedy.
Takata recall- the mfr has failed to take care of this in a timely manner- received notice of recall almost 6 months ago and still have not found a solution- I am driving an unsafe vehicle and they need to fix it.

Takata recall: why is there no remedy after jan 2017 recall announcement. This model was recalled earlier in other states. There should be a remedy by now. We cannot use the passenger seat, why have a car if you can't sit someone in it!!! Please let us know why there is no remedy at this time. An inflator is not rocket science. I cannot even buy a new airbag myself to have installed.

Takata recall. Recall notice was received in january 2017 for passenger airbag. The recall directed that the passenger seat not be used. When calling toyota to ask about a tentative time frame for a remedy a toyota representative informed me that a remedy will not be available until about september 2017. I appreciate that this is a massive recall across the country. However, I am a one car owner and regularly need to use of the passenger seat. I have no recourse but to use the car. I am a volunteer worker and cannot afford a rental for a week, let alone 6 months. How am I to drive safely in this circumstance? What happens if the airbag deploys due to an accident because I had no choice but to use the passenger seat? The toyota representative informed me that loaner vehicles are not being provided with this recall. However, in the "frequently asked questions" document (copy attached) published on october 13, 2016, with a revision date of march 10, 2017, page 4, question 9, it states "if this recommendation is not feasible for the customer's personal or business needs, alternative transportation may be made available." what must one do to qualify? I do not feel safe driving as things currently stand.

Takata inflators. I just took my scion in to the dealership for an oil change and two recalls. They fixed the one recall for the master window switch, which was great. However, I was informed that they are not aware of any future date that the air bag would be available. Their remark was that it was only the passenger side, not to worry, driver is ok. Also in the recall letters I received, it was suggested that I "not have someone in the passenger seat". The problem is that I do have passengers, and some of the time the passenger is me. I live in florida, high temperatures and humidity. I travel to texas, also higher temperatures and humidity. My car is now 8 years old so it is getting up in the danger zone as described in the recall letter. Why is toyota not being made to replace the vehicles if they can not repair them. This is worse than the lemon law where dealers are made to replace a vehicle if it is deemed "a lemon".
