    Takata recall. In january 2017 toyota sent a recall notice. Later they sent a letter stating that a remedy wasn't available yet and not to let anyone sit in the passenger seat. It is now the end of october 2017 and they haven't come up with a remedy yet. It is unreasonable to have this go on so long without fixing it and telling me not to let anyone sit in the passenger seat.

I think it is crazy that i and my passengers have been unsafe for months now and with such terrible delay in any sort of repairs. This is unfair and…

    Takata recall. I received an interim recall notice (nhtsa no. 16v-340 & 17v-006) from toyota. I have contacted my dealer at least 4 separate times regarding the recall repair. Each time i was told that the recall was interim and a recall repair had not been identified and was not possible. I am unable to pay for a replacement air bag inflator out-of-pocket so since receiving the recall notice (i believe nearly one…

    Takata recall local dealer still does not have replacement parts. Their only suggestion is to not have anyone sit in the passenger seat. They have no idea when parts will be available, yet new cars are being produced, with [supposedly good inflators]. Apparently profit comes before safety.

    Takata recall - we received a safety recall notice several months ago. Soon after, we called a local dealership to schedule the recall repair. On the call, the dealership told us they are out of parts and would contact us when the parts are in. About two or three months later, we still had not heard from the dealership, so we called back but were told the same thing. Another two or three months later, which is…
