I am told by the dealer that there is no fix available for this air bag recall. I feel that I am driving on wing and a prayer. I will have to inform any passenger of this problem and that they would be riding at their on risk. This is a huge problem that has been known about for a long time and should have been resolved by now. Your sharholders should be more interested in saving lives than the dividends they receive.

Heard news report of Toyota airbag recall back in 2013. Took car to dealership and had that issue resolved. Then in June 2014, another recall discussed on tv news and received letter in the mail stating my front passenger airbag inflator was not replaced and replacement is required. However, the letter further states that there is "no remedy available" and it further states that you should not use your vehicle if at all possible. This is an outrageous statement on the part of Toyota. As I am the only caregiver to my elderly mother (89 yrs old), it is imperative that I have a safe operating vehicle to take her to oncologists, radiology appointments, dental appointments and primary care check-ups on a weekly basis. My vehicle needs to be repaired before a tragedy occurs with a fatality ending. This is not acceptable and Toyota will and should be held responsible to get these repairs done now verses later. To say there is "no remedy available" is like telling a victim that there is no way to find the criminal because they lack the proper equipment in the lab to solve the crime!

10/29/09 I turned on the ignition and the engined immediately revved into the danger zone. I was not able to stop it. I turned the car off and checked the gas peddle.....the floor mat was nowhere near the pedal and there was no debris on the floor to cause this occurrence. I waited a few minutes and then restarted it. It was fine then...10/31/09 I took it to Toyota dealership and was told they had not heard of any problems with the acceleration of there cars. They "performed top engine cleaning and throttle body cleaning" told me they thought this would take care of the problem..charged me $176.98 and I was on my way. This had happened twice before but not to this degree.
