TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL. THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING HOW LONG IT IS TAKING FOR A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL TO BECOME AVAILABLE TO ME. SERIOUSLY IT'S BEEN MONTHS AND IF THE PROPELLANT HAS ACTUALLY KILLED AND INJURED PEOPLE THEN I NEED TO GET MY CAR FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO I AM NOT PUTTING MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS AT RISK.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER OVER A YEAR AGO AND I AM STILL BEING TOLD THERE IS NOT A REMEDY FOR THE RECALL. I LIVE IN A VERY HOT AND HUMID CLIMATE NEAR CHARLESTON, SC AND I DRIVE MY GRANDKIDS AROUND IN MY CAR THAT COULD BE DEADLY. I NEED FOR TOYOTA TO EITHER REPLACE OR REMOVE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I'VE HAD TO WAIT TOO LONG AND THE VALUE OF MY CAR HAS DECREASED BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL SO I CAN'T EVEN CONSIDER TRADING IT IN FOR A SAFE CAR. PLEASE HELP.

THE CONTACT STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THAT THE REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE 2016. AS OF TODAY, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE OF REMEDY. I CURRENTLY MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER I CAN'T USE MY VEHICLE TO IT'S FULLY CAPACITY. THIS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY AN INCONVENIENCE NOT JUST FOR ME, BUT FOR MY FAMILY AS WELL. WE CAN'T FIT A FAMILY OF 5 UNTIL THIS RECALL IS FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS NOTIFIED ON 1/16/2017 THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MY COROLLA HAD A RECALL WITH NO CURRENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE AIRBAG IS CONSIDERED DEADLY IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL, AND IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH SINCE I HAVE RECEIVED THIS RECALL, AND NO ACTION FROM TOYOTA. IT IS UNREASONABLE TO THINK THAT SOMEONE CAN GO WITHOUT USING THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR OVER A MONTH WITH A FAMILY AND ONLY ONE VEHICLE. AT A MINIMUM, TOYOTA SHOULD BE PROVIDING RENTAL CARS FREE OF CHARGE FOR ALL THOSE AFFECTED. IT IS ALSO UNREASONABLE TO HAVE TO WAIT THIS LONG, WHEN OTHER CAR MODELS HAVE ALREADY HAD THE TAKATA AIRBAGS FIXED. TOYOTA IS A REPUTABLE BRAND FOR A CAR, HOWEVER, GIVEN THIS SITUATION THEY HAVE PUT ME IN, I WILL RETHINK THEM IN THE FUTURE.

TAKATA RECALL - MY CAR WAS RECALLED FOR AIRBAG REPLACEMENT LAST MAY (2016) AND I WAS ADVISED NOT TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND OUT WHEN MY CAR WILL BE REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD, MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THE PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. IF THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, CAN I ASK WHAT IS BEING INSTALLED IN NEW MODELS. I BASICALLY HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN BE THE ONLY OCCUPANT WHEN THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN.

TAKATA RECALL THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WE FIRST RECEIVED THE RECALL BACK IN APRIL 2016 I ALSO OWEN A 2011 SUBARU AND THE TAKATA AIRBAG WAS REPLACED BACK IN JANUARY 2017 SO I CALLED TOYOTA BACK IN OCTOBER 2016 THEY HAD NO ANSWERS TO WHEN THEY WOULD START THE RECALL REPAIRS, I CHECK THE WEBSITE TODAY AND STILL NOTHING HERE IS WHAT IT SAID HTTPS://WWW.TOYOTA.COM/RECALL REMEDY TOYOTA IS CURRENTLY PREPARING THE REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION AND WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. THE REMEDY, WHEN AVAILABLE, WILL CONSIST OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG INFLATOR OR THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE MODEL. __________________________ IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR LOOKS LIKE TO ME THEY ARE NOT TRYING VERY HARD IF SUBARU CAN FIND A REPLACEMENT FOR THERE VEHICLES IN LESS THAN A YEAR

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS INFORMED IN MAY 2016 THAT I SHOULDN'T USE THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY CAR DUE TO THIS AIR BAG RECALL. IT IS NOW AUG 29 2017 AND STILL TOYOTA HAS NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. IS NHTSA ABLE TO DO ANYTHING TO SUPPORT THE CONSUMER? I BELIEVE TOYOTA IS SIMPLY IGNORING THE ISSUE.
