Takata recall - I received a letter several months ago informing me my matrix was recalled for the air bag inflators. I was told I'd be contacted when the parts were available. After hearing nothing, I went to toyota's website. It says the part should have been available in my area starting in dec. 2015. I contacted my local dealer , & they told me they couldn't do the repair until the end of aug. 2016. It will have been about a year & a half since I was informed of the recall - this is a totally unacceptable amount of time. Meanwhile, they suggest no one ride in the passenger seat until the repair is complete. Toyota is doing a terrible job with this whole thing.
I got a recall for the airbags. I'm kind of wondering if I should be driving my car.
Takata recall - in june 2015, I was notified by toyota that my matrix had been added to the list of vehicles affected by the takata recall and that I should contact my local dealer to set up repairs. When I called I was told that I would be contacted again once the parts were available. I have now received the notification that parts are available, nearly 10 months after the initial notification. What troubles me is that in the latest letter it states " until this remedy is performed, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat." why didn't they mention this before? Why didn't they provide the repairs sooner? What if I had been in an accident with someone in the front passenger seat, they might have been severely injured or possibly killed. Why are these large companies allowed to put others at risk simply by performing some sort of failure analysis when peoples lives are at risk.
Recall has not been fixed
Takata recall. The toyota website says replacement parts are "currently available." the dealer told me I'd have to wait one to three weeks because the parts are on back-order.

"takata recall" repair parts still unavailable. When will this be corrected!
Takata recall. I was given the notice a few months ago (at least 2) that the passenger airbag needed to be replaced and to avoid having someone sit in the passenger seat. I contacted the dealer today (1-14-16) and the parts are still not available. It is unreasonable to take this long for a safety issue to be resolved and tell customers that they just shouldn't have a passenger.

Takata recall - this is my only car and I have two kids to transport as well as others and I cannot guarantee that no one sits in the front passenger side as requested. I am also concerned with my own safety as the driver, plus my son is starting to drive in 1 month as he gets his learners permit. I am in the priority 1 group but have heard nothing about getting this corrected.
