Takata recall. I received the recall 3/3/19 marked "urgent, important safety recall." my subaru dealer in hyannis, ma informed me that I could go on a waiting list since they do not have the replacement parts. They expect to replace the airbag at the end of may or in june. This doesn't feel urgent.

Takata recall - also, wiper motor safety recall. I've attempted to work with subaru to get these two recalls addressed, and made two phone calls in early april, and after being told to wait and be contacted by an approved dealership, there was no follow-up and no appointment set. After several weeks of waiting I contacted subaru again, this time through email on may 20th, and was again told to wait to be contacted by the closest approved dealership, which is more than 40 miles away in my case. Throughout the process, subaru has made no attempt to accommodate the distance or time required to perform the repair. Still, I've done as they asked and waited to be contacted by my closest approved dealership (chatham parkway subaru), and again there was no follow-up. I've been attempting to get these recalls addressed since april 4th, and have grown increasingly frustrated with how difficult its been to get their attention. I do not know if this is the appropriate avenue to file such a complaint, but I'm unsure of exactly what options are available to me at this point. I just want to have two safety recalls repaired.
Takata airbag recall. No one can tell me if my car needs a new airbag. My granddaughter has to ride in that front seat as there are 3 grand children in the back. I don't want to keep putting her in danger (date below is date I writing this complant
Takata recall. A subaru dealership replaced the airbag (according to their service records). However, subaru corporate continued to send me recall notices. Not sure what happened. 1) they replaced my airbag and forgot to tell subaru. Ok outcome 2) they replaced my airbag, and updated a different car with subaru (which won't get recall notices anymore). Passengers in that car at at lethal risk now. 3) they didn't replace my airbag, and actually put that airbag into a different car. My passengers are at lethal risk now. I asked the service person to investigate, but he just said "it's done, don't worry" airbag replacement was november 2016. The last service was this week.
Our 2011 outback wagon was hit on the driver's side by a bus. It was totaled. The side airbag did not deploy. The driver sustained a serious head injury.

Takata recall : multiple dealers have reported that they do not have the parts to fix this airbag recall. I have taken it to more than one dealer in more than one city who has given me the same response. I am currently driving around with these faulty airbags which potentially could harm me in the case of an accident. I would like them replaced as soon as possible.

Takata recall. Manufacturer notified us in july 2016 about inflators recall. They keep telling us that they are on order. So they keep selling new cars all the time so they are available to them. Why can't we get ours fixed?
"takata recall", no notification for replacement appointment, cannot use front passenger side seat.
Takada inflators. I received a notice from subaru of america that "parts are now available" to replace my faulty passenger seat airbag. Putnam subaru of san francisco will not make an appointment for this recall- they say I am #80 on a waiting list and they are on #11. I tried to make an appointment the first week in may and they said I would have to wait until they called me. I've been waiting a year. I have received a notice from subaru not to use the front passenger seat until the repair is completed (??!!) why am I getting a letter saying "parts are now available" when they are not?

I received notification from subaru today that parts are now available to remedy this air bag defect. When I called my dealer, I was told that subaru will only ship a few parts at a time. There are 18 on their waiting list for these parts. Some have been waiting 6 months. Why doesn't subaru ship the parts needed to make needed repairs? The notice from subaru says not to allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat until this repair is performed.

Takata recall have had two verbal discussions about replacement parts and one email inquiry, but no reply or response from my local dealership south blvd subaru charlotte nc after conversation with a salesman I suspect "unsold" vehicles on their lot are receiving replacement parts before customer vehicles.
Takata air bag recall we were notified of a recall for our car about 6 months ago. The dealership informed us of the lack of available parts. We were instructed not to use the passenger seat, essentially rendering our vehicle unusable for 4 to 5 passengers for the past 6 months, nor could the vehicle be sold if we had desired. Takata company is unable to comply with the correction in a reasonable period of time. No temporary solution has been offered. Takata is responsible to supply the victims with costs for rentals. Buy back the vehicle or settle on a reasonable figure for the inconvenience. They are a for profit company and are at risk for the cost of doing business.

Takata recall I am concerned about the airbag recall. Our subaru outback is our only vehicle, and it is our family vehicle. My pregnant wife is due with our second child and has been sitting in the back seat. However, that child could come any time. She is a high risk pregnancy with a history of premature birth. At 33 weeks, this is the farthest she's ever come along in a pregnancy. If this baby comes, then it means someone in our family will not be able to sit in our car if we all go out together. The airbag recall fix is urgent for us. We can't really wait much longer, unless subaru wants to rent a larger vehicle for us until the repair can be made. Is there anything that can be done so we can have our subaru back to it's original intent as a family vehicle asap?

Takata recall: informed that no one can sit in the passenger seat until parts are replaced and that there are no parts available. Our normal usage of the vehicle requires loading in the back and a driver and passenger in the front. Local subaru dealers have been unable to find us a loaner vehicle for use until our vehicle is fixed. This is unacceptable.
