I received a notice of a takata airbag inflator recall on my vehicle. The notice was dated May 23, 2016. I tried contacting my Toyota dealer soon thereafter, but was informed that the replacement part was not yet available. I contacted them on other occasions, and was told the same thing. Today, June 14, 2017, someone contacted my Toyota dealer on my behalf, and was told that the part is still unavailable. The recall is to fix a defect that poses the threat of metal projectiles causing death to the passengers in the event of a collision. By failing to make the part available within a year, Toyota has failed to resolve this problem in a reasonable time, especially given the severity of the safety threat. Until the problem is resolved, I am deprived of the full use and enjoyment of my vehicle.

Takata recall. I saw this on your website "if the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the NHTSA." It has been over a year since I've been notified of the potential of metal shards coming out of the air bag due to issue. I live in the southeast near the coast, so there is heat and salt water in the air. I don't want to be liable for others because I know there is an issue with the airbags or potentially harmed myself if they were to deploy. This is getting kind of crazy because I have friends who have Corollas who have already gotten theirs replaced, but mine online still says no remedy. I don't really understand how the solution can be found for one Corolla, but not another as air bags seem like they would have the same general design. If it's a supply issue, shouldn't something be done. I

The takata airbags have been recalled for over a year and there is still no remedy. My husband uses the car for work and every day he is on the road, he is at risk not only from occupational hazard, but from the airbags. The manufacturer has not provided a remedy in a timely fashion and I am submitting a complaint.

Takata recall. It has been over a year since I first received notification of this recall and there is still no solution. It seems absurd that such a high risk recall has been allowed to go unremediated for so long. I feel as though I can't use the front passenger seat of my car for passengers riding with me.

Takata recall. I received an interim notification one year ago and the repair has still not been done. On the notification that until the remedy becomes available they recommend that we do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. This is taking away the use of the car for over a year and we still have no repair date in sight. This is not acceptable.
