The driver airbag warning light is on. I've read a lot of recalls for my vehicle, but the dealer said this part was not recalled. I was hoping you could inform me if this part has been recalled and if so what would be my next steps.

Takata recall ..... After receiving toyota's official u.s. Postal notice, I called my local toyota dealer (autonation on w sahara, las vegas, nv) to get this issue fixed. After not hearing back from the person who promised to return my call, I called again six hours later and was given some b.s. Story, but was told it was being ordered and would be at the dealership the next day. About an hour later, I received an e-mail from my dealer, autonation, that I need to call them to make an appt. To fix the recall issue. The person I spoke to (not the same one as earlier in the day) seemed to not understand. I repeated the issue (scenario as written above) to which this woman, again, didn't comprehend. I told her I would read what was sent to me about making an appt. As I was reading to her what was sent to me, she hung up on me. I then called and asked to speak to the gm of the dealership. I left a message for him to call me back. No such call-back has happened. Is this a tactic that's employed on a regular basis? I contacted toyota's corporate rep and gave that person the actions I went through. She said she'd forward this issue to the customer relations person at the dealership. I, again, doubt I will be contacted. If I do, I'm sure I'll get some b.s. To protect that employee, as is done by police to protect their own. I want some action and I'm hoping this message will find its way to a source which will look into this.

Takata inflators,ABS. Purchased vehicle used 08/12/2016 the following mil codes were cleared by selling dealership. C1223, p0456, b1150, cr123, c1241, b1152. Needed repair immediately, passed state inspection even needing the following repairs, both front axles, serp belt, sway bar link and rear brakes.08/24/2016 vehicle repaired by selling dealer and returned with flat tire, I had it towed to tire garage because spare was too old and incorrect size. After I picked up from tire repair I made an appointment for an unrepaired safety recall from 2012 on the ABS at a local dealership. Prior to service appointment I was driving over a speed bump and the vehicle would not drive over bump, ABS lights came on and vehicle rolled backwards. Had towed to toyota dealer for service(I have receipt for tow) a couple days later dealer said recall was completed but would not provide any documentation for repairs. That dealership broke a lug stud on the front tire in but did not repair it. They said its ok to drive on 5 lugs its a 6 lug rim. I then brought the vehicle to another toyota dealer for repairs because the vehicle started rolling backwards on inclines and not accelerating. Very scary because I almost rolled back into cars, also tire pressure light was on but all tires were inflated. They had it from 09/12/2016-09/26/2016. Unfortunately could not duplicate concern but did repair the lug stud, tire pressure sensor and recalibrated the ABS and airbag light(I was not informed until picked up about the airbag). I also had an oil change. Vehicle having issues as of today right turns I hear a loud clunking sound and wobble when hitting bumps on highway speeds.. The ball joints might be bad. I can see them covered in grease and have play. I am concerned that the vehicle is unsafe and was in an undisclosed major accident prior to purchase. Next app is not until 10/24.
