Take recall I bought this car in april of 2016 and was not notified at all about this recall. No one told me that my airbags could harm me or even kill me. I'm very upset with the manufacturer and the dealership I have worked with.
Takata recall. I received a notice to not use the front passenger seat until a remedy becomes available. A toyota customer service rep informed me that the company had no idea when a remedy might be available. I is unacceptable that I can't use the front passenger seat of my vehicle indefinitely. This is the primary transport for me and my family.
Takata recall - I went to trade in my scion xb and was notified that there was a recall on the airbag and no remedy is available. Since the recall is from may 2016 I have concerns about when this will be remedied. I am "stuck" with the scion and cannot sell until this is resolved. Is there a time frame for the resolution? Is there any recourse for toyota as this is now causing a financial strain in purchasing a new vehicle, not having this the ability to trade in this vehicle for the purchase of a new vehicle? Any information is greatly appreciated.
Takata recall for 9 months I have been unable to seat a passenger in the front passenger seat of my car, and no attempt has been made by either manufacturer or dealership to remedy the situation.
Takata inflators: on june 9th, 2016 I received a letter from toyota giving notice of the air bag recall. It has been approximately 8 months since I received this notice "recommending that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat". After a approximately three of months I began calling the dealer ship every month or so checking on the recall. They just keep saying they are still working on a fix and I am supposed to receive another letter when the remedy is available. I called toyota customer experience center also receiving about the same info. In my opinion this has gone on way too long and toyota should be reimbursing their costumers for their inconvenience of not being able to fully utilize their vehicles during this time period.
Takata recall (the federal safety agency recall no 16v‑340 I received this subject recall 07/23/2016 advising me not to drive this car with any occupant in the passenger side seat as it could cause death or injury. I have called the sparks toyota , the dealer I purchased the car from to disconnect the passenger side air bag. The dealer stated toyato will not permit them to disconnect the passenger air bag. I am 83 years old and have driven vehicles without seat belts since 1948 to 1962. I drove vehciles with only seat belt protection until the late 1980s. I perfer to drive my scion with only sealbelt protection for the passenger then to have the occupant killed or seriously injuryed via a exploding airbag. I paid good money to buy a safe vehicle from sparks and toyato and I expect them to follow my instructions to save my occuptants life which is me as I will not let my wife sit in the death seat with a defective air bag. You and toyota are guessing when the airbag degrades in my scion because you do not have the facts to make that estimate when my air bag may explode. My scion is black and I live 2 blocks from the ocean. Inside the vehicle the temperature is excess 180 degrees in the summer. There is so much moisture in the air that metal paint cans or other metals in the garage rust due to the salt moist air. So the federal safety agency nor takata have no idea if the air bag in my vehicle is safe or not while operating in the environmental conditions my vehicle is subject to!!!!! You should direct toyota to disconnect my air bag as soon as possible to make it safe to drive untill the airbag is replaced.

Takata recall I was notified by toyota that my vehicle was affected with this recall over 6 months ago and have not heard anything else. I am a single mother with an 11 & 13 year old and am paranoid of letting them ride in the passenger seat. This is my only vehicle and need to know when can they resolve this problem/make repairs on the air bags. I live in south florida, high humidity, high heat. Please help. Thank you.

Takata recall -- recalled in 5/2016, but no dealership has the parts/ability to fix my potentially deadly airbags yet? Is that legal??
Takata recall - I have tried to get my airbag replaced at the dealer and they won't schedule a time to get it repaired, they say they don't know when they will be able to replace the air bag after multiple requests. I'm personally worried because my car is 7 years old and I live in dallas tx., we have extremely hot summers here. The inflators degrade over time in hot climates.
I received a recall notice dated in may advising that the front passenger airbag needed to be repaired and was deemed to be unsafe. It was recommend that we do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. It is now almost 7 months later and I have contacted toyota and was told they do not have an estimated turn around time for repairs. I think that this time frame for repair is unreasonable as we are advised not to transport passengers.

"takata recall" we received our recall warning on the passenger airbag and the solution for now is not to sit in the passenger seat. We have called several times and have a case number (1609063378). We were told there is not current solution and there is not any information as to when the part(s) will be available. This is one of our main means of transportation and driving around like chauffeur and passenger is getting very tedious. We recently had death of our family and had to travel out of town in our dodge truck. Only to find out upon returning home, the dodge truck has a recall on the passenger airbag, too. Now, both vehicles are waiting for parts. When we contacted the scion dealership, we were told that upon emergencies, we could possibly get a loaner for travel, which is very inconvenient . We want some answers, that is, when will a solution be found and how long is it going to take for the parts to get to the dealership. We both are senior citizens, have our medical issues and we do not need the stress of this issue.
Takata recall. There is no part available to fix my car. I requested a loaner car and was told that the local dealership in orlando would take my 2009 scion and park it in an "unguarded unfenced lot" with no protection from the extreme fl heat and weather. In addition, the dealership would not start or service the motor for approx. 6 months (when the part "might" be available). If the motor/car is damaged, the dealership told me that they are not liable fix it. If the car is stolen, they are also not liable! These are unacceptable conditions. Toyota is not authentically offering a solution to this life threatening recall. First, there is no part available to fix it! Then, toyota knows that the consumer will not take a loaner under the conditions that their personal vehicle will be kept under. It's a scam! We the consumer are forced to drive cars that have recalls that killed several people by metal projectiles slicing throats and causing head and brain injuries! Why is toyota getting away with this?

Takata recall. Just received notice of takata recall, and according to scion webpage, no remedy is available. Person I spoke to at scion said replacement airbags are just now being manufactured, and no known date is available for replacement. In the meantime riders in the car are in danger.
1. Defective air bag inflators manufactured my takata were installed when the vehicle was manufactured. Nothing has happened yet, however, the stability of the the air bags is unpredictable and puts passengers at risk until it is corrected. The inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to humidity and high temperature. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death. 2. A power window master switch may melt. The electrical contacts are not protected by necessary lubricant which could lead to a short circuit and an increase the risk of fire.
Had someone pull out in front of me when I was traveling. Unable to stop in time even after locking up the brakes. Was doing apprx. 42 MPH hitting the truck, impact with both vehicles traveling apprx 25 yards into the ditch. My airbags did not deploy at all. None of the airbags. Luckily my seat belt did the job to protect me. Was escorted by ambulance to local hospital.
Traveling north on I-75 in independence twp, mi south of ortonville rd at 10:55am in a snow storm, driver used the passing lane to overtake a slow moving vehicle in the center lane. Accelerating to 70mph, driver began to merge back into center lane but encountered a heavy buildup of slush between lanes and began to loose traction. Vehicle started to veer to the right. Driver removed foot from the accelerator and turned wheel slightly to the left to correct the skid but the electronic stability control engaged and the vehicle immediately entered into a rapid 360 degree spin to the right. No other vehicle was struck. Driver recovered from the spin momentarily and car was facing northbound between the center and right lanes but still veering to the right. The front wheels contacted dry pavement while the rear wheels were on wet pavement causing the vehicle to make a sharp right turn head on into the guard rail at 60 MPH. The guard rail gave way and the front end of the vehicle sustained heavy damage. However the vehicle rebounded and remained in the road way, sliding sideways and eventually spinning another 270 degrees after again striking the guard rail. The initial high speed impact with guard rail appears to have ignited the sodium azide as evidenced by a gunpowder like odor in the vehicle however no airbags deployed. Additionally, the seatbelt while properly fastened did not retract and restrain the driver. The seatbelt extended all the way out and remained in this position. This made it difficult to control the vehicle and caused the driver to impact the steering wheel when the guardrail was struck. This resulted in injury to the right side of the rib cage, with possible hairline fractures to the ribs, torn muscles, and bruising of the liver. Driver's head also impacted the ceiling. Upon second guardrail impact, driver's left arm impacted the steering wheel.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 scion xb. The contact was driving 35 MPH and crashed into another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact mentioned that the seat belt also failed to restrain, causing her to impact her head on the steering wheel. The contact sustained a concussion, sprained neck and a bruise to the right heel. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who sent an engineer to further inspect the vehicle o determine what caused the failure. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The failure and current mileage was 59,000.
