"takata recall" I have had my airbag inflator replaced, so that my airbag will not inflate unexpectedly. But my main concern now is with the airbag. It is a safety hazard. I have a daughter that rides in the front with me. Nobody is taking care of the airbag itself. There are metal fragments in those airbags, and if I am in an accident those fragments will come shooting out of those bags which will result in serious injury and possibly death. It has happened to others. What is toyota going to do about the airbags.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2003 toyota corolla. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v043000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable.

Got into what could've been a minor accident, but the car was totaled, however, the airbags did not even deploy. Before the accident, the seatbelt would lock at random times, which could cause an accident. I was making a u-turn on a state road. Once hit, the entire tire went under the car and the entire front came off, which was why I was surprised that the airbags did not go off.
Upon getting the ecu recall taken care of for my vehicle, I was told that my air bag indicator dash light was lit because of error code b1181 which, I was told by the toyota service representative, is caused by a worn spiral cable. He informed me that this problem could potentially cause my air bags to not deploy in the event of a crash. Earlier that day, I had the spiral cable recall remedied on my 2008 toyota yaris. This is inconsistent and dangerous to fix a problem in one vehicle and not in another. I'm asking that the spiral cable recall be extended to all applicable vehicles.

Takata recall--I have tried repeatedly to schedule an appointment with a toyota dealership to have my airbag replaced. I can never get an answer. I have replied several times to the toyota safety recall resolution team at 1‑888‑312‑5994. They also have not been able to get an answer and they've advised me to call the dealerships directly. The last attempts were made this morning and the resolution team suggested I just drive to the dealership to make my appointment since they will not answer the phone. Why is this so inconvenient? Why can't toyota dealerships answer phones to make appointments and make these changes? How can I get this repair done in a timely and convenient fashion?

Since the recall of the airbags on 2003 toyota my mom has tried several time to get the airbag fix in the ponce and cayey toyota service and in three occasion they told her they don't do that job and keep giving her the runaround and many phone number to calls. She has done her part but it seem the service company in puerto rico is not doing their part. The airbag light is lite up and doesn't go away. The car is under my name but my mom has had it since 2007. She lives in p. O. Box 579 arroyo, pr 00714 and I moved to orlando in 2007
Takata recall all dealers I contacted have a "at least one month, likely two month" waiting list for this recall repair. Considering the notice states "until the remedy is performed, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat," the time frame seems excessive. They all noted it was due to a delay in receiving the parts.

Takata recall I'm not confident that toyota is adequately solving the airbag issue as I've received multiple recalls for the same or similar issues. During the initial recall I discussed with toyota that they should replace the airbags if there is any concern over quality. They did not do that and stated that after inspection I was not affected. Since then I've received more recalls for the same issue. I'm concerned about my safety and the resale value of my car, both of which toyota has put at serious risk. I do not believe they are taking this issue seriously nor attempting to solve it in a timely and proper manner.
