Takata recall- we received the notice for the recall and called our local Toyota dealer. They informed us that we would be contacted when parts came in. A few months later, we received a notice indicating that parts had been manufactured for our location. We called again and were told that they didn't have the parts and that a supervisor would call us back. We never received a call back. We called back again a few months later and were told the same exact thing, including that we would get a call back from the supervisor. We received no call back. We called one last time (after battling with this for over a year), and were told the exact same thing. We even said, "can you please make sure he actually calls us back this time? we have been promised many calls back before and never gotten them." Well, no call back! in the meantime, we have to avoid traveling with passengers which is a massive inconvenience, especially with two busy children. We had this same recall with our Honda and it was completely solved within 6 months.

Takata recall. Failure to remedy defect within a reasonable time. Awaiting replacement for over one year now and avoiding use of passenger seat is an undue burden. When passenger seat is used passenger is placed at unnecessary risk. Was on waiting list in Vermont for several months but have now moved to New York. My time on the waiting list is now reset and will be another 3 or more months.
