Takata recall the recall was issued on 5/23/16. Today is 9/19/17 and the recall is still incomplete. They have failed to provide a solution to this issue in a timely manner. Sixteen months is a long time to wait...especially when every time you ride as a passenger you run the risk of being severely injured or killed by the defect. We make sure that our children ride in the back, but if the airbag was to deploy and send metal shrapnel flying though the front seat, there is a chance that they could still be injured or killed. This is completely unacceptable. This is our daily form of transportation. I would rather have no airbag than to run the risk of myself, my children or my husband being impaled by metal shrapnel. This needs to be fixed...immediately.

Takata recall
Takata recall received interim notice, but did not receive any remedy notification later. Just received auto airbag settlement notice today. Called local dealer to follow the notice of getting the airbag replaced asap, and they said they had nobody there to operate the computer to verify my car was under the recall & call back another day. How come I could verify the same day on my phone & the dealer could not? Now, I need to take my wife to the hospital & will not be able to contact the dealer until later. So two complaints; no remedy notification & delay by the local dealer.
Takata recall
(toyota case # [xxx]) - on 7/14/2017, I phoned the toyota phone number listed on the attached document, indicating that my vehicle had a "safety recall" beginning 2009, requiring the "sound insulator ssc (17t0c90c)" to be replaced (see attached letter -to follow). Although they claimed to have replaced it "on 4-8-2009, order # 0913552", I don't recall this to be true because I do not recall ever receiving any mail regarding this issue. I requested representative [xxx], to provide me with such documentation. She then said that the recall time period ended and that I had only 6-12 months to tell them that this replacement was defective. As per the documentation, the driver would not be able to detect this unless checked by the service dept. It was determined on 5-17-2017 to be defective, needing replacement when I brought my car to the dealership for a periodic oil change (see attached document - to follow). I asked [xxx] to have her supervisor review our taped conversation and contact me with the appropriate replacement. It appears that even if they can substantiate that they replaced it back in 2009, my contention that it is illegal for them to pose an arbitrary 6-12 month cut off period for a replacement at no charge to the owner. As of this writing, I did not get a call back or even an e-mail response from toyota. Please intervene on my behalf because a "safety recall" issue must be adhered to by law and if the one put in as a replacement (like the takata airbag recall), then toyota is liable and responsible to replace that defective one too. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall; I received a recall notice on 2-22-17. I called the suburban toyota dealership and received little information. I was told to call back in a month or two and maybe the parts would be available. This recall is several years old . Why am I just now being notified? I. When the recall was first announced I checked to see if my vehicle was on the list and it was not. I received my notification on 2-22-17.it is my understanding that less than 15% of the affected vehicles have been repaired. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that I have been driving a car containing an explosive device that could rupture any time conditions are right. Toyota does not seem to be overly concerned with my safety or anyone else's.
Takata recall I received a safety recall notice, and contacted burien toyota to have the fix performed. I was told that the airbag was "on back-order" and that I should call back in 5-6 weeks. I do not believe this fix is being performed in a reasonable amount of time. The recall notice calls this an "important safety recall" and says that I should not have passengers in the passenger seat of my car. If the recalled part fails, it can "result in serious injury or death." why is toyota taking 5-6 weeks after sending us the notice to fix this problem? Am I supposed to quit driving my car for the next two months while they order a part that they have known for months to be defective? This is irresponsible.

Takata recall - cornhusker toyota, grand island, nebraska, advises us they will not replace the airbag.
Takata recall, 2 year wait for repair. Unbelievable. When can the repairs be expected?
Takata recall I am deeply concerned that a fix for this recall has not been completed. I drive 40 miles round trip to work every day. I carpool and am concerned when I have my carpool buddy in the passenger side with me. What are my options with toyota at this time.

Takata recall I have been unable to use the front passenger seat of my car since early summer. I have sent your agency a complaint and have called toyota several times. At what point does your agency insist that the manufacturer repair or replace the vehicle. Waiting for over 1/2 year while driving partially functioning car is unacceptable.
Takata recall. Still no safe fix from toyota. I guess our lives are not important to this company. We have no airbag issue at this time.
Takata recall. Continue to call dealership every month: there are no available recall air bag replacements and no eta of recall air bag replacements. Losing side passenger seat for a safety recall for a year is unacceptable.
