Inflator recall. I took my car into a toyota dealership in early may and was told the part would be in by the end of may. On july 2nd they have yet to get the part or contact me about any information. The recall info I received in the mail said if they have not done it in a reasonable amount of time to file a complaint. I believe that almost 2 months is plenty of time.

Takata recall I received a "remedy notice" from toyota regarding this recall and made an appointment with my toyota dealer. After dropping my car off at the dealership to have this resolved, I received a phone call notifying me that they could not "fix" the issue related to this recall. I was informed that as toyota has limited the number of "remedy kits" to 6 per dealership, per week, I would have to wait approximately 3 months (or more) before parts would be available to "fix" my vehicle. (never mind the fact that the dealership should have told me they did not have the parts when the appointment was made and wasted my time, but that's another issue). The original recall announcement I received from toyota stated "until the remedy becomes available in your location, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat". So, I am to be deprived of using the front passenger seat of my vehicle for an additional 3 months, or more (after having receiving the remedy notice), because toyota chooses to limit the number of parts available to local dealers to remedy this issue. That is ridiculous. Since toyota sent me a "remedy notice" for this recall, I believe it is their responsibility to ensure my vehicle is fixed in a timely matter. A delay of 3 months because toyota is not supplying dealers with enough parts is just inexcusable.

"takate recall". Months ago I checked and my car wasn't recalled. A few months ago I received a letter that it was. Told in letter to wait and I would be notified when part available. I waited and waited. Finally called 5/24/16 dealer and they asked, "did you call us and order part?" are you kidding me? The letter said to wait and I would be informed. No I didn't order part!! Called toyota customer center on 5/24/16 and they said within 48 hrs I would hear from someone (I assumed there). Just a couple of hours later the dealer called me!! Are you kidding? I talked to them already. He said I may have in 8 weeks. Patiently waiting and now I'll try this. I am a senior and drive my grandchildren around and have been since 2011 when I bought this vehicle used with deadly airbags!!!! They are out for summer and I need to be able to take them places. This car is small. I need the part now, please.

I own both a 2004 corolla and the 2008 toyota matrix. Both vehicles are on this urgent saafety recall. My 2004 corolla appointment is for 6/15 at 8:30 am. This was not so bad. The 2008 corolla matrix appointment is for august 5th at 10:00 am. I think this is not right, two and a half months to correct an inportant safety problem like this? The deller told me that they do not have the parts to correct a 2008. In your letters you say that the parts are out to certain locations. I use this vehicle to transport my grandchildren to school soft ball games and other inportant appointment? The passinger seat has to be used. What am I going to do when this problem can not be corrected until august?
