Takata recall - it has been almost a year since the takata recall was initiated for my 2010 4runner. Toyota states that I should not operate my vehicle with anybody in the passenger front seat. This is quite unacceptable! Toyota should be required to provide a remedy for this extremely dangerous recall asap!

Takata recall - I was notified in 05/2016, but no action have been taken yet. On 02/24/2017 I filed a complaint with toyota about this issue. They asked me to leave my car at the dealer to be repair and rented me a car. However, after two weeks the replacement part has not been received yet. The dealer have no information about how long this will take. How much time should I have to wait for this problem be resolved? Should I be without my car for so long?
Takata recall I was notified on june 9, 2016 that it could be dangerous to ride in the passenger seat of my SUV. I have contacted toyota corporate and the local toyota dealership regarding this matter. My SUV in which I should be able to carry 5 passengers safely will only carry 4 safely. When can I expect this to be repaired. Why has this not been addressed? I do not want to wait until an incident happens.
Received recall 5/23/2016. As of 3/2/2017 the repair has not been made. I have celled toyota and visited the dealer may times. The dealer has no information and the representative from toyota could only tell me that the parts will be released and she no information as to when they will be released. It the inflator explodes it can be lethal. No-one has been able to use the passenger seat for 10 months and there is no relief in sight. Toyota is not providing due diligence. They have not obtained the repair parts and provide no useful information other than the original recall notice. They said they would provide a "loaner" . This is a canard. I was told my original vehicle would be impounded at the dealership until repaired. Obviously storing a vehicle unattended out in the elements for a year is not an option. I am requesting that you "stimulate" toyota to expedite the parts and let the owners affected know what is going on. Thank you. Updated 04/12/2017

Takata recall. Toyota is unable to give me a vehicle in the same size as my current vehicle. I am also concerned with leaving my vehicle at a stand still for an undetermined amount of time. I have been made aware that any issues that arise from the vehicle sitting will not be fixed by toyota.
Takata recall- I was notified in june 2016 about a defect in the front passenger airbag. Since last year I have asked our toyota dealership in hawaii many times about the recall and when the parts will be in. All they can say is that they don't know and advised me not to have anyone sit in the front passenger seat till it is fixed. I don't understand why it is taking so long to get the parts in and to fix the airbag if it is such a major and dangerous problem. I have a family of 5 and it is almost impossible not to use the front passenger seat. This is really affecting the use of the SUV.
"takata recall" I received notification via mail that there was a recall because of passenger airbags. The notice stated I would receive another notification soon, as to when and where to take my vehicle for repair. The notice also stated that it is advised not to have a party ride in the front passenger seat??? Well, it has been over (7) months now and I am still driving with this danger present and unable to allow anyone to be seated in the front...(?) this matter needs to be resolved right away! I do not want to continue to await a notice for the date, time and place for repair. I want my vehicle repaired now, being that again- it's been over (7) months.

Takata recall. I have had my vehicle recalled since the first week of septemper 2016, the dealer informed me that I was unable to continue to drive it they took the mileage had me sign confirming I cant and will not operate the vehicle going forward, now this was in september of 2016. Since then I have still been making my $510.00 dollar payment for the vehicle each month even though I cant drive it. Its now late january of 2017 its not fixed when I call toyota they cant give me a time frame as to a resolution to the air bag recall. I am very frustrated that I am paying for a vehicle I cant drive, the dealer does not want to trade it in so im stuck with a parked 4runner. I should not have to make payments on a truck I cant drive that money could of been put toward a vehicle that I can drive and enjoy, im currently driving a small rental that barely fits my 4 kids. Please help me, if there's no fix can they trade my vehicle or at lease reimburse me for the months that I am paying for a vehicle I am unable to operate. Thanks

Takata recall not safe to carry passengers in car rendering car unsafe and not usable need to carry max passengers and cannot due to safety warning
Takata airbag recall on may 2016, and there still is no remedy schedule after almost 9 months.
"takata recall",I no longer have a vehicle for long distance traveling because the recommended safety precaution no passenger in the front seat poses problems when performing daily activities, traveling for vacations and engaging in other family activities. If the airbags need to be replaced I respectfully request the service to be performed and completed before our next schedule vacation. If this can't be accomplished I would like to request a rental voucher for the same type of vehicle for our annual trip. The takata recall has render the vehicle practically useless for the intent and purpose of the purchase. How long before this is resolved?
The recall for takata airbags issued may 2016 goes unremidied as I have to continue to travel for work across multiple zones with high humidity. The suggestion to have no front passenger is ludicrous and has deemed my vehicle unfit for its purpose. "in the event of rupture, metal fragments may/will pass through the airbag, striking the occupant and result in injury or death." let's think about that for a moment as you drive you family members home.

I purchased a 2010 toyota 4runner in december 2015, making payments every month. I called five different toyota dealers and one out of five was wonderful enough to protect our safety and made sure toyota gave us a rental until the part becomes available. The part was/is suppose to become available jan 2016. I feel better and safer driving a vehicle that I own and paying for with full coverage insurance. I understand toyota supplied a rental but I got this vehicle for my wife for a christmas present in 2016 and she has only got to drive it 8 months and it has been park since 08/2016.
Takata recall - received a letter from toyota in june 2016 stating that my front, passenger airbag was recalled due to "the propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. Degraded propellant can cause inflator rupture during airbag deployment. In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death." it has been 6 months and I have contacted toyota to find out what the hold up is and if there is an anticipated date for when I will have my air bag replaced. They stated that the reason is because they have a high number of vehicles and they are working on the oldest vehicles first and then moving up. They do not have an anticipated date for the remedy and their only suggestion is to not have anybody ride in the front, passenger side and if I do need to have my car at capacity then I need to get a rental!
Takata inflator - it has been six months since my vehicle airbag was recalled and I have been unable to drive with a passenger. Toyota cannot provide a time frame for when my vehicle will be repaired and will only provide a loaner vehicle if I leave my vehicle at the dealership. The dealership will not be liable for any damage done while they possess my vehicle.

I lost use of my 4runner since august 2016. I called toyota several times and last talked to randall (888‑270‑9371 toyota case number 161‑130‑2456) on nov 30, 2016. Randall does not have an estimated time to fix my vehicle. I asked for number of airbag fixed by toyota in california in each of the past 3 months and the total number of outstanding toyota with airbag recall issue. Randal cited those info is not available to the public. I asked if toyota will buy my 4runner back at bluebook. Randall said toyota does not buy vehicles that are under recall. There are 34 million vehicles under airbag recall, the production of replacement airbags is 1 million per month. Without better info from toyota, it may take up to 3 years fix my 4runner. Loaners are for short term remedies. When I bought the vehicle, I didnot anticiapte long term lost of use of it plus annual depreciation in value. I like to ask the federal safety agency to require the recall to be fixed within a specific time frame or the manufacturer to buy back the affected vehicle at bluebook. Thank for your consideration. Eric
Takata recall. I have received notification of the fact that the airbag in my vehicle is under a recall and have been asked not to use the vehicle until the faulty device has been replaced. I don't have another vehicle so I am forced to use my vehicle. The manufacturer has not contacted me with any remedy. In the mean time I am carefully driving my vehicle. I would like to know what the timetable of a replacement is or at least be kept updated of the manufacturers schedule.
