Takata recall all dealers i contacted have a "at least one month, likely two month" waiting list for this recall repair. Considering the notice states "until the remedy is performed, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat," the time frame seems excessive. They all noted it was due to a delay in receiving the parts.

Takata recall i'm not confident that toyota is adequately solving the airbag issue as i've received multiple recalls for the same or similar issues. During the initial recall i discussed with toyota that they should replace the airbags if there is any concern over quality. They did not do that and stated that after inspection i was not affected. Since then i've received more recalls for the same issue. I'm concerned…

I took my car for a airbag recall. My airbag light was on prior to recall. I really don't know if this fixed, because light is still on. From what i heard my airbag won't even work with the light being on . Call someone on toyota and the said it would an extra charge to have it diagnosed.

Catalytic converter failed and replaced by dealership under service campaign at 69,811 miles has now failed again at 152,000 miles. Toyota notified at they declined to provide repair again at there expense. I had a honda go 250,000 and never have a problem with the converter. There has to be an inherent problem in the one in my toyota corolla !! Also other recall on airbags they do not have parts to fix.

Toyota has issued me a safety recall notice indicating that the passenger-side airbag could cause serious injury or death. They have warned me not to have anyone in the front passenger seat, yet they have not provided any details about replacement parts or timeline - other than to say that it will happen sometime in the future. This is not a solution, nor is it helpful.

Srs light came on, manual says take it to the dealer. The dealer told me that the spiral cable needs to be replaced and that the air bag will not work until this repair is completed. This seems to be the same problem for the 1.3 million vehicles of the 2006-2010 recall for the same part.
