Takata recall I feel that one year is entirely too long to ask people to simply "avoid having people ride in the passenger seat". perhaps if more people speak up, manufacturers will feel more inclined to rectify this issue promptly.

Takata recall - I was notified Feb. 2017 for the 1st time of my 2011 Toyota Corolla being subject to the airbag recall. Tonight I found out the recall began in May 2016, almost 1 year ago! I still have no further information from Toyota on a replacement, and in the meantime, my teenagers have continued to ride in the front passenger seat because we have no other option. I find this completely unsatisfactory on Toyota's part and want answers and remedies from Toyota before someone riding in my car is injured or killed by this long-term problem!

Takata recall: I received a letter from Toyota stating "important safety recall (interim notice)" and saying there is a problem with the front passenger airbag inflator and advising me not to use the front passenger seat. It has been several months now with no resolution. I called the local Toyota dealer in medford, Oregon, and they said they have no remedy. According to online information this recall was initiated May 23, 2016. This is an unreasonable wait time. Please help. Thank you.

Takata recall: Recall for takata airbag in my car was in May 2016 - it is now April 21, 2017 - and there is still no "solution" it is really scary driving around knowing that there is a bomb in my glovebox, that will explode and possibly kill me. I don't understand why they can't just take out the airbag until there is a better solution.

Takata air bag recall. I think it is important to fix these air bags because my son drives this car. Not sure why there is hesitation to make these repairs. There has not been an accident but don't want to write a complaint after one does.

Takata recall - it has been almost 1 year and the remedy is still not available. I was provided with an alternative mode of transportation - a rental from hertz, but I am afraid my vehicle is degrading a lot more by sitting for that long of a period of time. Will there be a buyback as it is taking so long for this to be fixed?

Takata recall - auto nation pinellas park Florida. Has no clue when the new passenger airbag parts for recall are to come in. I have been waiting since Oct 16. I am very displeased in Toyota, Toyota dealers. And the fact that there are so many Corollas that takata can't produce this part. It is very inconvenient. No one can ride in my front seat. Please get these parts in.
