Takata recall - I received the recall notice from Toyota and I made an appointment with fort bend Toyota to do the safety recall. However, when I arrived at the dealership this morning, the dealership refused to perform the recall claiming that they don't do recall on saturdays (even I had an appointment). When I confronted the assistant service manager, omar adam, with the fact that I received the safety recall notice and I had an appointment, he then tried to give out excuses such as they don't currently have parts and it's the fault of their call center (who messed up the appointments). I am deeply concern as it's an important safety recall involving lives of myself and my love ones, but Toyota shows no concern of our safety at all. As of now, they still claim that they are out of the parts and do not have a date for me to do the safety recall.

Takata recall received interim notice regarding spiral cable replacement in connection to the airbag. Have not received notification there is a remedy. Also received recall notice regarding the takata front passenger airbag inflator. They advised that until a remedy is available the vehicle should not be operated with an occupant in the front passenger seat. How practical is that?

Takata recall has still not been remedied on my vehicle. I received the recall notice in the mail, attempted to contact my local dealer for repair but was told my VIN# was not yet "up" for repair. I followed up with the Toyota care# and received a case#. after being told falsely by the service manager that my VIN# would be up within the next month, I have been left to drive my car "as is" for the last 6+ months waiting for their call. It is a great inconvenience as I am not allowed to have a passenger in my front seat. I need an advocate to help rectify this situation.

"takata recall" on 7/3/13, left work at 2:30 from FM1960 and aldine westfield. Took the on ramp of West loutetta to get off of ramp. I inched up to the intersection and the at&trepairman thought I was going, so, he gunned it. Needdlesstosay, I recieved spinal injuries, and the airbag never popped out. Years later, it is still indicating as implemented to no avail. I was told that the repairing of this problem is a massive undertaking. Of which I thought was going to be taken care of when the car was being repaired.

"takata recall" I contacted to certified dealership in my area, but they refused to schedule a free repair because the remedy is not available since January 2017. No incidents occurred yet, but I am concerned about the timing of this remedy because takata has filed chapter 11. Thank you for consideration.
