Toyota sends recall notices. For the past year dealer keeps telling us that they do not have the equipment necessary to make the repair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We keep calling, they keep telling us they can't make the repair or replace the passenger side airbag. Have contacted toyota directly, toyota did not seem interested in problem.
After nearly 2 months that toyota replaced the inflator , the light of my airbag comes on, called toota headquarters, they refer me to my local dealer which they said is not related to the recalled , how do I know is not related?

"takata recall" I took my 2007 toyota corolla in for the air bag recall to centennial toyota in las vegas, nv , the service agent let me know the air bag indicator light still remained on after the recall service was completed. A $ 150 diagnostic charge was going to be applied to find what else be wrong with the safety equipment on the corolla. I made contact with toyota corporation to explain the dilemma.(800) 331-4331 I spoke with kristina and was informed that recall situation has been fix and if I wanted to know what other safety issues I might be having with the air bag indicator light being on, I would have to pay for it.. I will get the diagnostic done, and report the other failed safety devices not covered by recall.
Takata recall I brought our 2007 corolla into pauly toyota in crystal lake illinois on april 25, 2016 because they received the replacement part for the recall. In the process of replacing it, their mechanic broke a part and they had to order a new replacement part. It is now sept. 29, 2016 and they have not received the part yet. The next estimated date the dealership may receive the part is the end of october. As of now my car has been sitting in their parking lot for 5 months. Obviously the end of oct will be 6 months. The toyota customer service number tells me I have to deal with the dealership but according to the dealership they don't know what is going on or when I may get my car back. I feel toyota is not being upfront with information and their customer service people should know more than the individual dealerships. Please let me know if there is information for me. Thank you!
Takata recall: toyota is frequently mailing me reminders and making telephone calls advising me to take my car to the nearest dealer to repair a defect that could spray bits of metal around the cabin. I am on the "list" at my dealer and they tell me it could be two months or longer before they get the parts. When I called the toyota recall people today they said at another dealer the estimated wait for parts was 14 weeks. How is this acceptable? I am sure that all of these notices are merely to meet some requirement that the federal safety agency has placed on them. Why don't we just fix the car!
The car has been at the dealer over two months, sitting, waiting for the part. I have a loaner but want the car back!

Takata recall - I received my recall notice for the air bags in 2015, at that time I called 1‑888‑312‑5995 and I was advised to contact my local toyota dealership. Performance toyota in fairfield, ohio was contacted. I was told that the replacement part was on order and they would contact me once the part came in to set up the appointment. I contact the dealership in the spring 2015, I was advised the part was on back order and it could take 30-60 days. I just called the toyota dealership and I'm now being told there is a 12 week/3 month delay on filling back orders and that orders are being filled based on the VIN numbers. I'm now being told that they will call me in october when the part comes in. When I called the toyota repair & resolution hot line I was advised to go to another toyota dealership in my area. When I told the agent that all of the dealerships are receiving their replacement parts from the same facility, I'll have the same problem at the other dealership. I advised her that toyota can't meet the demand, doesn't have the parts in place and continues to put customers off to resolve the recall notice. I was then asked if there was anything else she could help me with today.

Takata recall. I received a recall notice from toyota in may. In june we were told the part was in stock and made an appointment to have it installed. When we got there on 6/13 they did not have the part. I have been calling toyota customer service and the dealer several times. According to the service manager andrew baer, they have received none of the replacement parts since june 13 (today is july 27). I understand the number of recalls is large, but why send out the notice if you don't have the parts? Toyota seems very cavalier in their concern about something that has resulted in severe injuries and deaths.
2007 toyota corolla. Consumer writes in regards to manufacturer unable to remedy front passenger airbag inflator recall defect within a reasonable time frame. *smd the consumer sent pictures of the vehicle which was in an accident. The pictures showed the passenger air bag deployed, despite the fact, the damage was on the driver's side. The consumer stated the air bag issue was never rectified.
Takata recall months ago I received a letter in the mail stating my vehicle was apart of the recall. I've called multiple times about setting up an appointment to get my air bag fixed and have had no luck in getting it fixed. They keep telling me I should receive a yellow paper when it's available.
Received "urgent" letter and two urgent emails from toyota on my air bag inflator recall. They said to contact them immediately for repair scheduling. Called local dealer and was told it is a seven month waiting list for the parts. This is ridiculous, why were their contacts to me so urgent. I then called toyota's customer service 800 number (1‑888‑270‑9371), their pre-recorded message prior to connecting me to an agent said after my call I'd be able to take a customer satisfaction survey. After talking to the agent about my dissatisfaction with the "urgent contacts" and seven month wait. They refused to let me take the customer survey. This was a flat out refusal, they would not even forward me in to the survey. This really stinks.
