Takata recall - I scheduled an appointment with ourisman toyota in fairfax, va to have the airbag replaced. I called the parts department to confirm availability of the airbag prior to my appointment but received no return call to my voicemail. When I arrived for my appointment I was told that the waiting list at ourisman for this part is at least many weeks and possibly several months as they do not know when new shipments of airbags will arrive or how many will be coming. The only explanation for my not having received a call back was that "we use a call center now and we don't know what they are doing." my wife is leaving with the car for canada in just over a week and is very concerned about making a long highway trip with the airbag situation still unresolved.

2005 toyota corolla. Consumer writes in regards to dealerships failure to repair/replacement parts availability to complete front passenger airbag inflator module recall notice in a reasonable time frame.
"takata recall" I received a notice stating that "toyota has completed parts preparation for vehicles in your geographic area" yet when I call our local toyota dealer, they tell me that toyota is only allowing them to order 1 part per week!! They have put my name on the list, but said they will see me in about a year. This is not acceptable. This is my teenage daughter's vehicle and this issue needs fixed now, not a year from now. She has already been driving it too long with this unsafe defect. What is toyota going to do if something happens between now and when they decide to let dealers order more than 1 part per week?? I would like an explanation and a solution to this problem for a quicker repair!

Takata recall. I got a letter from toyota instructing me to bring the vehicle in for the recall repair. I contacted priority toyota of springfield, va. 7601 loisdale rd, springfield, va 22150 to schedule the repair. After I provided the VIN, they instructed me that I must bring the vehicle in for a pre-inspection, then they will order the part, which will take a week to arrive, then I can bring the car back and wait for the repair which will take 3-4 hours. This is unacceptable. Toyota has a faulty part and they need to make it right with customers, not make us jump through a bunch of hoops. The recall notice clearly states not to allow someone to sit in the passenger seat until the repair is made.

It has been nearly 2 years since I discovered that the passenger air bag is on recall. Toyota dealer is still saying it could be up to 1 more year before they can get it replaced.
I received a letter in september 2015 about my car having a recall on it's airbags. Toyota said they would call when they had the part in. I waited until january 2016. I called my toyota dealer in january and asked them if the part was in yet. They said no and that I had to order the part. Prior to this, my original letter did not tell me that I needed to order a part. It simply told me to wait for a call from toyota when the part was in. So then they ordered the part in january. In march, I still had not heard anything. I called and asked about my part and they said they still did not have it. I finally received a letter saying my part was ready on may 23rd 2016. I called my toyota dealer to make an appointment. The service receptionist I spoke with was very short and rude with me. She told me that my part was still not in and that she had no way of telling me when it would arrive. I have had to drive an unsafe vehicle since september 2015. I should not have to wait almost an entire year for my recall to be fixed. I am still waiting and do not know when my toyota dealer will be able to fix my car.

Was notified over a year ago about recall. Never rec'd word from toyota about part being available. Called last month and part was ordered. Rec'd another letter from toyota stating same problem. Called newark toyota about status of part ordered. Still on waiting list. No explanation why this is taking so long. Called corporate. Apparently parts are backordered and nothing being sent to dealership. Apparently they are still using the same manufacturer for the module that supplied all the faulty vehicles. Why!!! It seems that they really are not taking this very seriously. Why aren't we offered loaner or rental cars as in the case of honda who has the same problem? How many lives are expendable before something is done to remedy the situation. I see that there are over seven million repairs so far. When will my car be fixed?
