Takata recall received recall notice in may for takata passenger airbags. Toyota dealerships I have called have said that they are unable to help me and repair this life-threatening issue in my vehicle. I am still waiting for this to be resolved and it is taking far too long. Driving with a dangerous explosive in my only vehicle that could kill myself or a loved one is unacceptable, especially for this length of time after the problem has been identified. Please help!

Takata recall - it's been months since I was notified of this recall and I've attempted multiple times to bring my vehicle in for a repair and have received no fixes at all (I was told to simply not let anyone sit in the front seat--not what I consider to be a reasonable fix). I want it fixed. It's not safe to drive with a passenger. It's simply unacceptable. I want a replacement vehicle; or, to have this fixed immediately.

I need a remedy for the recall on the airbags. I have tried to be patient about the temporary solution of "just don't have anyone ride in the passenger seat" but to have waiting 5 months and still have no solution is outrageous.
