Takata recall - I am very upset to be driving an unsafe car. This recall is taken way too long to get resolved. When you contact dealers they just say you will be notified. I am not the original owner and have no idea what notices the previous owner may have received. I now am concerned because received an auto air bag class action settlement card that has a date to respond by September 25, 2017. Phone number listed is 1-888=735-5596 and website www.autoairbagsettlement.com..they are giving instruction as to how you can excuse yourself from the settlement or object. The language is very confusing. Is there ever going to be a fix or remedy for this issue. This vehicle I use everyday for work.

Takata recall the recall on my airbags is not complete, and the remedy is not yet available in a timely manner for my safety in the event of me possibly getting into an accident and getting seriously injured or even die because of the defect in my airbags inflating and causing metal objects to fly out and hurt me and/ or my passengers. Also, my seat belts don't stay in place to hold me or my passenger back in the possible event of an accident, to cause us less harm if any was to occur.

Takada recall. My car warning light for the driver air bag is showing that the airbag is not operating. I called my Toyota dealer about the warning light. They are having me bring in the car for a diagnostic however they are saying that the airbag is not in stock and is only affecting places with high himidity. High temperatures also affect the airbag ability to inflate. They are going to perform a diagnostic but are now claiming it is a cable and will most likely charge me for the diagnostic. The air bag needs to be replaced weather Toyota has provided the part of not. Toyota is responsible and should have had these air bags available to be replaced in the cars on the recall list. I noticed the light on when starting the car and the light telling me that the passenger air bag is off did not go off as I drove. I called the dealership today 8/24/2017

Takata recall. There is still not a fix available. I asked for a loaner car in February 2017 and the dealership said I would have to leave my car outside on their lot. Unacceptable as I take car of my car and do not want it out in the elements. I have tried to join the class action and cannot because they didn't yet repair the car. We have gone all this time without anyone being able to ride in the front passenger seat. Is there a way to disconnect the airbag? this would seem to be an unacceptable solution as it makes the car less safe.

Takata recall there is a known defect involving deaths with this recall and I have yet to receive a recall notice and have the defective parts replaced. This is a huge safety concern. I want my airbags replaced promptly. This is a horrible response to a known problem and takata and Toyota should be more proactive in getting it resolved.
