Takata recall: I was told that the recall takes 3 hours. I can not be without a car for 3 hours. I tried to call the nearest toyota dealership and they couldn't even schedule this appointment over the phone. They said they were busy and would have to have an "adviser" call me back. I will need a rental car paid for in order to get this service done. I would think that this would the utmost of importance and systems/personnel would be in place to handle this more efficiently and more timely. Since this is the manufacturers' negligence, I expect toyota to deliver on it's legal commitment to pay for all costs associated with this burden. If it takes 3 hours, I need a rental car for 3 hours.

Takata recall.
Toyota sent an 'urgent safety recall' concerning the SRS ecu on my toyota. The letter stated: 'this is an important safety recall; toyota has prepared sufficient parts for vehicles registered in your location.' I scheduled an appointment with authorized toyota dealer charles barker toyota in virginia beach, va, and scheduled an appointment to have the work performed. I left the car for the required work, and picked it up later. I stopped at a store on the way home and called my wife, and she told me that the service people had called and said they had to order a part. Up to this point, no one had explained to me that the repairs had not been made to my car and that I would need to schedule it for a return visit. I called and spoke to service advisor derrick williams, and he told me that they do not stock the computers and have to order them. Toyota has not prepared sufficient parts for vehicles registered in my area, and it is preposterous that toyota expects me to bring my car back for a second service call to replace a part that should be stocked.
I recieved a safety recall notice back in 2013 stating that my vehicle requires installation of the sub-wire harness and replacement of the SRS ecu. I have taken my vehicle to the toyaota dealer at least 4 times. Starting from april 2013 and the most recent february 28, 2016 and each time they tell me that the parts had been ordered but my car still has not been fixed.

"takata recall" I keep receiving recall notices, but when I call the dealership, they act like they don't know what I am talking about and when I call the 1800 number they act like everything is taken care of. Then the dealership calls and they don't know what is going on again. I have given up on the safety recall for the time being. I hope that as time passes the system will get smoothed out where this can actually get fixed, maybe. It does not seem that fixing the airbag issues are a serious priority in person, only on paper.

Received safety recall notice (for SRS / ecu). I called local dealer delray beach, florida to make an appointment. They say they will not order the needed parts unless I first bring the car in for their inspection ? This sounds to me like a run around, either my car needs to be recalled or not. Are two appointments required for safety recalls or not ? Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Got the takata recall. Last spring, we received a letter from motorcars toyota, cleveland heights that they had the parts so we made an appointment. When we arrived at the appointment we were told they did not have the parts and we would be informed when they were in. Never received a letter. This month received another notice of recall. Contacted motorcars toyota again. They said that they did not have the parts and would not for 2 months. We contacted another dealership in cleveland, metro toyota, and they made an appointment the following friday, then did the repair. Clearly motorcars toyota is not pursuing this recall like other dealerships. If someone in the cleveland hts area is hurt as a result, we would be happy to testify against motorcars toyota.

Safety recall dsb from toyota is for a fault in the ecu. I had the problem during the first recall over a year ago but they had not replaced the faulty ecu. I have been talking to multiple toyota dealerships who have been telling me that the part for the recall is not available and keep having me call back every 6 months. It has been well over a year of trying to have the repair done for a known problem on my car and I have gotten no answers as to when they will have parts. I do not feel it is safe driving a vehicle with a potential of the air bags deploying at any point. I find it hard to believe that well over a year after this has happened toyota still can dodge providing parts for the repair.
