Takata recall: Looks like NHTSA determined on Jan 9, 2017 that my car Toyota Corolla was unsafe to drive. I was notified only in March, 2017 of this safety issue. This is not timely notification. Further, I need the passenger seat to be safe -- and Toyota has refused to provide a timeframe or a loaner vehicle during the time that this car is not fixed. This is unacceptable. Also, looking online, looks like takata airbags have had issues for multiple years and no effort was undertaken to evaluate safety of my vehicle before Jan 2017 which in it of itself is very concerning. I wanted to sell my car in this month and replace another car, and due to this recall, I can no longer sell the car due to drop in value. I'd like the manufacturer to repair the car within 1-2 weeks or purchase the car back from me. Nothing has happened to the car or no accident has happened.

Taka recall. I recently received notification from Toyota concerning the safety call on my front passenger airbag. I do not feel the manufacturer promptly notified consumers of the issue and it appears they do not have a solution for consumers.

Takata recall as there have already been 11 verified deaths, and takata has pled guilty to deceiving the general public, I have found that my car is under this recall. However, it states that there is no fix yet. I drive my car every day to work, with my children and grandchildren. There are precious lives at stake. I need this addressed and fixed now! not later!

Takata recall I received a recall notice about the takata airbag and I spoke eddie, the night service manager at marina del rey Toyota and he says there is nothing he can do right now because there is no part number for the replacement. Toyota does not have a remedy. The notice says there's a risk that "in the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death." This recall was issued on January 9, 2017, it's almost two months old and I just received the notice. On top of that it's completely unacceptable that Toyota does not have a remedy after almost 2 months. I would like a replacement and fix of this issue asap. Please help.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2012 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 and the interim recall notice did not give a specific date for when the part would become available so the contact was unable to determine when the vehicle would be repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the contacts vehicle would receive the recall repair. The contact was not experiencing a failure.

Takata recall: While we appreciate being contacted about the potentially lethal safety hazard from the takata air bags in our Toyota, it's unacceptable to be told not to have anyone sit in the front passenger seat until a fix is made available. The dangers of the takaga bags have been known for many months, if not more than a year. Why is it taking so long to arrange for a replacement" no time frame has been provided as to how long we must wait, while we can't carry around a front passenger. My wife and I commute to work everyday. One of us is supposed to sit in the back seat? we have children we must taxi around. Since most cars are not affected by this recall, then surely there are other, safe air bags available, which Toyota could install immediately. When a safety recall occurs, you should be able to take your car in right away and get it fixed, not wait some undetermined time down the road. Why isn't Toyota required to resolve this matter right away"

Takata recall. Yesterday, I received the notice from Toyota regarding my vehicle's possible defective takata airbag. It recommends that until Toyota can replace the airbag, that I should allow anyone to ride in the front passenger seat. Toyota's recommendation is totally unacceptable and should not waive its responsibility to its customers. Toyota has known about the takata airbag issue since at least 2015, so it is unclear why they cannot aggressively replace their customers' airbag immediately two years later. To suggest I should not use one of the seats in my vehicle, particularly with a family of four, seems completely unreasonable. I'm very disappointed in Toyota, and I hope that the company will make more of an effort to take care of their customers in the future.

Tamara recall. I received a notice to not have anyone in the passenger seat until the recall is completed. I explained that the car is useless since I cannot fit me my wife and two kids in car seats into the car without using the front seat. This is ridiculous to not have a repair for a car and be told not to use a car I paid a lot of money for with no remedy from the manufacturer.
