TAKATA RECALL SINCE THIS RECALL DATES BACK TO JANUARY 2017, HOW MUCH TIME IS REASONABLE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THE PROBLEM?

TAKATA RECALL I AM FRUSTRATED BY THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT IS TAKING TO GET OUR PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED! IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE TO NOT HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT. I ALSO HAVE NOT BEEN ASSURED BY TOYOTA THAT IN A CRASH THE REAR PASSENGERS MIGHT NOT BE HIT BY SHRAPNEL RESULTING FROM A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER AIRBAG. WHY IS TOYOTA/TAKATA NOT PAYING FOR SUBSTITUTE RENTAL CARS WHILE WE AWAIT THE FIX?

TAKATA RECALL: WHILE WE APPRECIATE BEING CONTACTED ABOUT THE POTENTIALLY LETHAL SAFETY HAZARD FROM THE TAKATA AIR BAGS IN OUR TOYOTA, IT'S UNACCEPTABLE TO BE TOLD NOT TO HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL A FIX IS MADE AVAILABLE. THE DANGERS OF THE TAKAGA BAGS HAVE BEEN KNOWN FOR MANY MONTHS, IF NOT MORE THAN A YEAR. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO ARRANGE FOR A REPLACEMENT? NO TIME FRAME HAS BEEN PROVIDED AS TO HOW LONG WE MUST WAIT, WHILE WE CAN'T CARRY AROUND A FRONT PASSENGER. MY WIFE AND I COMMUTE TO WORK EVERYDAY. ONE OF US IS SUPPOSED TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT? WE HAVE CHILDREN WE MUST TAXI AROUND. SINCE MOST CARS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL, THEN SURELY THERE ARE OTHER, SAFE AIR BAGS AVAILABLE, WHICH TOYOTA COULD INSTALL IMMEDIATELY. WHEN A SAFETY RECALL OCCURS, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE YOUR CAR IN RIGHT AWAY AND GET IT FIXED, NOT WAIT SOME UNDETERMINED TIME DOWN THE ROAD. WHY ISN'T TOYOTA REQUIRED TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER RIGHT AWAY?

TAKATA RECALL. YESTERDAY, I RECEIVED THE NOTICE FROM TOYOTA REGARDING MY VEHICLE'S POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG. IT RECOMMENDS THAT UNTIL TOYOTA CAN REPLACE THE AIRBAG, THAT I SHOULD ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TOYOTA'S RECOMMENDATION IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND SHOULD NOT WAIVE ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO ITS CUSTOMERS. TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE SINCE AT LEAST 2015, SO IT IS UNCLEAR WHY THEY CANNOT AGGRESSIVELY REPLACE THEIR CUSTOMERS' AIRBAG IMMEDIATELY TWO YEARS LATER. TO SUGGEST I SHOULD NOT USE ONE OF THE SEATS IN MY VEHICLE, PARTICULARLY WITH A FAMILY OF FOUR, SEEMS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA, AND I HOPE THAT THE COMPANY WILL MAKE MORE OF AN EFFORT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS IN THE FUTURE.

TAMARA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTICE TO NOT HAVE ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL IS COMPLETED. I EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR IS USELESS SINCE I CANNOT FIT ME MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS IN CAR SEATS INTO THE CAR WITHOUT USING THE FRONT SEAT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO NOT HAVE A REPAIR FOR A CAR AND BE TOLD NOT TO USE A CAR I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR WITH NO REMEDY FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

TAKATA RECALL. I WOULD JUST REALLY LIKE TO KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE TO WAIT TO HAVE THIS FIXED. IT'S TOTALLY UNREASONABLE TO DRIVE WITH NO PASSENGERS FOR A SUPER LONG TIME.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECEIVED AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" FOR MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2012 SAYING THAT THERE IS NO CURRENT REMEDY. INFORMATION ONLINE INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED JANUARY 9. THERE IS NO INDICATION OF THE TIMEFRAME OF A REMEDY, AND THERE'S NO OFFER TO DISCONNECT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE LETTER SUGGESTS THAT I NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL I HEAR FROM THEM. AN OFFER TO DISCONNECT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN THE INTERIM WOULD HAVE MADE MORE SENSE. I'LL BE PURSUING THAT WITH A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OFFERED CONSIDERING THE DANGER IS POSSIBLE "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH."
