Tamara recall - I feel that the airbag recall is taking to long. The recall is from back in January and the notice that they sent says not to operate the vehicle with no one in the front seat. That is a huge inconvience that still is not ready to be fixed. I am just frustrated because it has been since January and the remedy is still not available for my car in September. I no longer feel safe in my car and just want this taken care of. It is just ridiculous that I should have to wait this long to get the airbags fixed.

Takata recall - Toyota announced this recall in January 2017. I received a notification at that time informing me that another notification would be sent to me when the remedy becomes available. The remedy is to replace my airbag inflator or my airbag assembly, depending on my vehicle, at no charge to me. It is now September 2017 and I haven't received any additional information. This is terrible customer service on behalf of Toyota. I expect a replacement of the affected airbag or monetary compensation based on the risk this poses to the passengers that ride in my vehicle.

Takata recall...I received an important safety recall saying that I am the current owner of a subject vehicle. I've tried to get this taken care of, but am told the remedy has been completed, yet I am driving around in a vehicle that is dangerous. I got the recall letter 8 months ago, and still cannot have it fixed. I am very concerned because besides myself, my children use this car and there is almost always someone in the passenger seat. How long is it going to take Toyota to complete the remedy for this recall while I am still driving around in a subject vehicle for the original recall 8 months ago? this is a very dangerous situation.
