Takata recall - received a letter from Toyota in June 2016 stating that my front, passenger airbag was recalled due to "the propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. Degraded propellant can cause inflator rupture during airbag deployment. In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death." It has been 6 months and I have contacted Toyota to find out what the hold up is and if there is an anticipated date for when I will have my air bag replaced. They stated that the reason is because they have a high number of vehicles and they are working on the oldest vehicles first and then moving up. They do not have an anticipated date for the remedy and their only suggestion is to not have anybody ride in the front, passenger side and if I do need to have my car at capacity then I need to get a rental!

Takata inflator - it has been six months since my vehicle airbag was recalled and I have been unable to drive with a passenger. Toyota cannot provide a time frame for when my vehicle will be repaired and will only provide a loaner vehicle if I leave my vehicle at the dealership. The dealership will not be liable for any damage done while they possess my vehicle.

I lost use of my 4runner since August 2016. I called Toyota several times and last talked to randall (888-270-9371 Toyota case number 161-130-2456) on Nov 30, 2016. Randall does not have an estimated time to fix my vehicle. I asked for number of airbag fixed by Toyota in California in each of the past 3 months and the total number of outstanding Toyota with airbag recall issue. Randal cited those info is not available to the public. I asked if Toyota will buy my 4runner back at bluebook. Randall said Toyota does not buy vehicles that are under recall. There are 34 million vehicles under airbag recall, the production of replacement airbags is 1 million per month. Without better info from Toyota, it may take up to 3 years fix my 4runner. Loaners are for short term remedies. When I bought the vehicle, I didnot anticiapte long term lost of use of it plus annual depreciation in value. I like to ask NHTSA to require the recall to be fixed within a specific time frame or the manufacturer to buy back the affected vehicle at bluebook. Thank for your consideration. Eric

Takata recall. I have received notification of the fact that the airbag in my vehicle is under a recall and have been asked not to use the vehicle until the faulty device has been replaced. I don't have another vehicle so I am forced to use my vehicle. The manufacturer has not contacted me with any remedy. In the mean time I am carefully driving my vehicle. I would like to know what the timetable of a replacement is or at least be kept updated of the manufacturers schedule.

The front seat passenger air bag has a takata air bag inflator and has been recalled for my vehicle located in zone A- Florida. The propellant has been degraded by high humidity and can cause inflator rupture during deployment. This will project metal fragments through the airbag striking the occupants resulting in serious injury or death. With this warning I can not put anyone in my passenger seat for fear of even more serious injury from an accident or air bag deployment. It appears that Toyota is trying to pass liability to the vehicle driver/owner with this important safety warning. There are no replacement parts expected for over 6 months and local Toyota dealer that services my vehicle does not have a loaner vehicle in kind that will meet my transportation 4X4 requirements. I fear excessive injury to my passengers and can not allow my family to ride in my vehicle. The vehicle is like a time bomb waiting to explode upon impact. I want a new vehicle that is safe for my family.
