Takata recall - my complaint is that we are still not able to get the airbag fixed by Toyota after over a year. They say it will be December 2017 before it can be fixed!

Takata recall. I was alerted months ago about my airbags being defective. I checked today and there is still no remedy. If my airbags are dangerous, then this should have been fixed already. What is taking so long? this is unacceptable.

Takata inflators.Toyota sent a notice about the recall months ago (and I'm sure knew about it for even longer than that). They have not made any repairs. The notice they sent suggests not using the front passenger seat which is completely impractical and impossible for us and, I imagine, most other people who own a car that is subject to recall. Also, if the airbags are problematic, then it must also be dangerous for the driver to continue using the car. Toyota needs to fix these airbags immediately.

Takata recall months ago I was informed passenger airbag inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high humidity and fluctuating high temperatures, and metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death. While I appreciate that Toyota has informed me they are working on a remedy, I am unable to safely Transport anyone, be it my girlfriend, friends, or family, as a result of the poor manufacturing and planning of this company. I am frustrated, as high humidity and fluctuating high temperatures are not new to the planet, or to car manufacturing, and I need a replacement asap. I live in fl and have no interest in trying to rectify a fatality as a result of an untimely correction of Toyota's own error. Toyota's website says to check NHTSA's website if I feel the remedy is not in a reasonable timeframe. I feel that several months is reasonable, and I'm ready for a call or letter to come in and get this taken care of. I purchased this vehicle from this manufacturer with safety and reliability as my top concern, and I need you to please hold them accountable for their promises. "reasonable timeframe" is not defined, not even by a range.
