Takata recall. I was informed by toyota on 8/10/15 about the takata recall. I was not able to get the recall fixed on my car until 4/11/16 due to the "unavailability of replacement parts." I had to use the car for 8 months without letting anyone sit in the front passenger seat! I was not able to car pool to work and this really put a damper on my ability to reasonably transport my family, friends and co-workers. The time it took to replace the defective parts is completely unacceptable!

Takata inflator: received letter recommending urgent safety recall. Parts were supposedly ordered 3/21/16. As of today, 4/8/16, parts are "backorder" with no timeframe. Spoke to "jennifer" at toyota repair shop. This is unacceptable. I frequently have passengers in my car, as I take friends to doctor appointments. Please advise....by the way, the letter states that toyota has the parts available for my geographic region. So why are the parts not available? I called as soon as I received the letter.

Takata recall. We got a notice after I was told in 2014 the corolla we have was not in the recall even thought I gave the VIN? Since the notice over nine months ago we have not heard a word from toyota to get the car repaired. My co-worked has had her car (corolla) repaired? Toyota has told us to not ride in the front passanger seat until this is repaired yet cannot tell us when ths is to happen? I am aveteran and do not like driving a grenade each time I am on the road!

Takata recall after I received the first recall letter from toyota it said remedy was not available and I would receive another followup letter when available. I never received one. I called the dealer on 11-5-15 to follow up and they said no parts were available yet.. I call 4-4-16 and was told the part was available and to get it fixed my options were leave the care for 4-6 hours and rent a car or have a possibility of waiting for their shuttle that has a 10 mile limit. I don't feel I should have to pay for a rental or miss work to have this repair done. The dealer told me to contact toyota corporate which I did. I was initially told that, yes, retntals were supposed to be suppled and they had me talk with a person at the next level to hopefully work it out. I was told by this level person that they only supplied rentals for people who requested them prior to a remedy and parts available. I confirmed that they would have paid for a rental for a few months but won't pay for one for one day? They said that was correct. . I cannot afford a rental car or taking tie off work to get this fixed. Do I have any recourse?

Takata recall - toyota letter received (bloomington indiana) stating they completed parts prep for my geographical region and to contact a dealer for replacement. I called dealer and was told toyota had placed a 3 per week limit and that the dealer would need to order and expect delivery in two weeks. That to me is not acceptable. The legal nonsense of not having a front seat passenger is annoying since this has been dragging out for a very long time. Surely there are other manufacturers that could make replacement. Seems to me no one is taking this with any sense of urgency.

Takata recall: I received my only notification from toyota the safety recall notice in late june early july 2015 regarding the inflator problem with my vehicle. From my understanding, the issue is caused by intrusion of moisture into the inflator system of the passenger airbag that causes the inflator to explode if the airbag is deployed. This explosion has been linked to many cases of serious injury and/or death. The notice informed me I would receive another notification when parts were available in my area to have the replacement conducted. It is now february 20, 2016 and in 8 months I have not received any more information regarding this serious life threatening issue. From the information I have found online, the parts should have started to be available in oregon in september 2015, that was 5 months ago and I have yet to hear any information on when I can expect this issue to be resolved. In the notice it asked to not have anyone sit in the passenger seat of the vehicle until repairs can be made. I understand this is a safety precaution, however, after 8 months and counting it has become quite an inconvenience. Furthermore, I live in portland, or and it is very humid/moist in this region of the country. This causes even more concern to me that this issue is not being resolved in a time sensitive manner. My complaint is that I have not received timely notice or information regarding when parts would be available in my region of the country and after 8 months, I am requesting someone contact me with more information that can help me resolve this serious problem with my vehicle in the very near future. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Takata recall I'm just concerned at how long this recall is taking. For such a serious safety hazard, it's been over 6 months since I received my initial recall notice and I have not heard anything else about it since. I'm expecting a child in a few months and I can't be driving around in a vehicle that has such a glaring safety problem. The recalls need to be fixed faster and more efficiently.

Takata recall - I purchased the car in july 2015 and was informed that there was a recall on the takata inflator for my car. I took it to daytona toyota in daytona beach, florida to have another recall on the car remedied. They told me they would be calling me when they had the inflator module part in for my car. Over the next several months they called me when the part came in and each time I was sent home because it turns out they did not have the part after all. I filed a complaint on their facebook page and the customer service manager contacted me via the telephone. He told me that there was no such part or recall for my car. I trusted him, removed the complaint and have been driving my vehicle ever since. However, I am seriously concerned he lied to me just to get me to delete my complaint. I am now afraid for my safety and unsure if there is truly a recall on my car. I have a toyota corolla s 2005. Dealer reference id: dsf and the federal safety agency recall id: 15v285
