Takata recall - I received a letter in January 2017 telling me that my vehicle is unsafe due to the issues with the break-down of the components in the takata airbags. The letter indicated I should stop driving my vehicle because it is unsafe. 10 months later, there is still no resolution for this. I have been told by the dealerships and online, that they do not have parts available to fix my vehicle and there is no estimation of when they might be able to fix my vehicle. I was offered the option of getting a rental car but will be responsible for the charges associated with using the rental car. I drive 25 miles one way, back and forth to work everyday. I cannot afford to have a rental vehicle for a year or longer. I don't have any option but to drive my unsafe vehicle. I have children that I also have to drive in this vehicle. This is unacceptable.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Corolla. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 17V006000 (air bags) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The dealer provided a loaner vehicle from February 14th to March 17th; however, the contact regained access to the vehicle from being stored at the dealer and had to wait a long time for the part. The dealer (motorcars Toyota, 2950 mayfield rd, cleveland, oh 44118, (216) 321-9100) did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The contact was unable to determine when the vehicle would be repaired. The manufacturer could not provide an estimated date for when the vehicle would receive the recall repair. The contact was not experiencing a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Takata recall I was issued an air bag recall quite some time a go and Toyota service department keeps telling me that no parts are available to replace defective parts. NHTSA recall no. 16V-340 & 17V-006. This thing is a ticking time bomb and I would like to get it fixed.

Takata recall. In January 2017 Toyota sent a recall notice. Later they sent a letter stating that a remedy wasn't available yet and not to let anyone sit in the passenger seat. It is now the end of October 2017 and they haven't come up with a remedy yet. It is unreasonable to have this go on so long without fixing it and telling me not to let anyone sit in the passenger seat.

Takata recall: I was notified of the recall months ago and Toyota still has not repaired it for me, the local dealership and I have been in communication for months now and the recall repair still isn't available; now they are saying it should be ready in November. I think it is crazy that I and my passengers have been unsafe for months now and with such terrible delay in any sort of repairs. This is unfair and shows disregard for my life and safety.

Takata recall. I received an interim recall notice (NHTSA no. 16V-340 & 17V-006) from Toyota. I have contacted my dealer at least 4 separate times regarding the recall repair. Each time I was told that the recall was interim and a recall repair had not been identified and was not possible. I am unable to pay for a replacement air bag inflator out-of-pocket so since receiving the recall notice (I believe nearly one year ago although there is no date on the notice from Toyota), I have been unable to operate my vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. Today, I received notice from takata (tk holdings Inc.) notifying me that they had filed chapter 11 bankruptcy and that I should contact my dealership immediately to schedule a free repair. My dealership asked to see a copy of this notice, as they had not received this information. They indicated that they would contact me with a follow-up after reviewing the notice. However, as of today, 10/26/2017, Toyota has been unable and unwilling to remedy the airbag problem and schedule my repair. The notice from tk holdings led me to visit the airbag recall website, which led me to file this complaint.
