I bought the car in October with a recall notice that they would not work on. The only solution from Oct till April was to "not operate with passenger in the front seat" I am really disappointed with Toyota for taking so long to fix the problem knowing that people are going to ride in the front seat and that they may be at risk!!!!!! I just got it fixed by asking the dealer if the recall could be done yet. The notice came in the mail the next week. I have had other recalls on other vehicles never anything this important and there was never a delay once notified.

Takata recall. I have been told that it may take up to 10 weeks before the parts are available to repair my airbag. In the meantime I am driving a vehicle which may kill my passenger if the airbag is used. Toyota will not pay for a rental to prevent a injury or death during the ten weeks before this vehicle is repaired and they are telling me to have people sit in the back seat. They are playing with peoples lives while waiting for this to be repaired.

Takata recall. Last year I received a letter saying that my Corolla had a recall for airbags. I took my car to frank Toyota in in national city California. They told me they didn't have the parts and that I would receive notice when they did. On March 21 of this year I received a letter from Toyota saying that Toyota had completed parts preparation in my area and to take it to any dealer as soon as possible. I called frank Toyota on the 21st. After being on hold for several minutes they told me they did not have the parts for my car and it would take 2 to 3 weeks. I immediately called chula vista Toyota on main street and talk to javier. He told me to bring in my car anytime and they would fix it. I took it in today Saturday, March 26 and it was completed.

Takata recall - I have a safety recall notice for the front passenger airbag inflator module, telling me that I will be contacted when the "sufficient parts have been produced and the remedy can be performed." This letter is about a year old. I want to know why I have never been contacted and/or why this problem has not been addressed. This is unacceptable, and frankly a crime it itself. The letter goes on to say, "until the remedy becomes available in your location, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat." Thus I have no ability to use this car for transporting my family due to the fact that this air bag could potentially kill the front seat passenger... I would like an explanation as to why I continue to be inconvenienced by a recall that is not being addressed.
