TAKATA RECALL - I WAS NOTIFIED OVER 6 MONTHS AGO THAT THE AIR BAGS WERE RECALLED. THERE STILL HAS NOT BEEN A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH 2 CHILDREN IN IT THAT CAN POTENTIALLY GET INJURED BY THIS AIR BAG. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE IS STILL NOT A REMEDY FOR MY VEHICLE. IT SAYS BY DECEMBER 2017 AS AN ESTIMATE. THE LETTER SAYS NOT TO HAVE SOMEONE SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. THAT IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION FOR 12 MONTH PERIOD!

TAKATA RECALL. NO REMEDY HAS BEEN OFFERED SINCE RECEIVING AN OFFICIAL WARNING NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN NEGLECTED FOR TOO LONG AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY!

I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AND TOYO IS TAKING TOO MUCH TIME TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL - THIS PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED IN JAN 2017 AND IT IS NEARLY SEPT 2017 AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO MY FAMILY.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 6 MONTHS SINCE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX

TAKATA RECALL. THIS RECALLED WAS PUBLISHED ON 9 JANUARY 2017 AND IT STILL SHOWS A STATUS OF "INCOMPLETE WITH A REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". YET, THERE IS A SAFETY RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL SERVICE DEALER AND THE ONLY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE NOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY. WE ARE ALSO OF TRANSFERRING TO EUROPE ON MILITARY ORDERS IN JUNE AND HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM. IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA.
