Takata recall. I was informed by Toyota on 8/10/15 about the takata recall. I was not able to get the recall fixed on my car until 4/11/16 due to the "unavailability of replacement parts." I had to use the car for 8 months without letting anyone sit in the front passenger seat! I was not able to car pool to work and this really put a damper on my ability to reasonably Transport my family, friends and co-workers. The time it took to replace the defective parts is completely unacceptable!

Takata inflator: Received letter recommending urgent safety recall. Parts were supposedly ordered 3/21/16. As of today, 4/8/16, parts are "backorder" with no timeframe. Spoke to "jennifer" at Toyota repair shop. This is unacceptable. I frequently have passengers in my car, as I take friends to doctor appointments. Please advise....by the way, the letter states that Toyota has the parts available for my geographic region. So why are the parts not available? I called as soon as I received the letter.

Takata recall after I received the first recall letter from Toyota it said remedy was not available and I would receive another followup letter when available. I never received one. I called the dealer on 11-5-15 to follow up and they said no parts were available yet.. I call 4-4-16 and was told the part was available and to get it fixed my options were leave the care for 4-6 hours and rent a car or have a possibility of waiting for their shuttle that has a 10 mile limit. I don't feel I should have to pay for a rental or miss work to have this repair done. The dealer told me to contact Toyota corporate which I did. I was initially told that, yes, retntals were supposed to be suppled and they had me talk with a person at the next level to hopefully work it out. I was told by this level person that they only supplied rentals for people who requested them prior to a remedy and parts available. I confirmed that they would have paid for a rental for a few months but won't pay for one for one day" they said that was correct.. I cannot afford a rental car or taking tie off work to get this fixed. Do I have any recourse"

Takata recall - Toyota letter received (bloomington Indiana) stating they completed parts prep for my geographical region and to contact a dealer for replacement. I called dealer and was told Toyota had placed a 3 per week limit and that the dealer would need to order and expect delivery in two weeks. That to me is not acceptable. The legal nonsense of not having a front seat passenger is annoying since this has been dragging out for a very long time. Surely there are other manufacturers that could make replacement. Seems to me no one is taking this with any sense of urgency.
