Takata recall: What is taking so long to get this remedied in our vehicle. A college daughter is driving this car and we are not happy witih the risk of injury to any passenger she may need to Transport. We buy a 4-door car with the intent that more than 1 person will occupy said vehicle. Are they waiting for an injury to take place for replacement. Is this why an incident date is requested. Luckily to date not injuries have happened. We want this taken care of before injury. Date of recall is Jan 9, 2017, that is the date of incident I am listing

Takata recall issued January 2017 have heard nothing 8 months later from Toyota or takata. I feel 8 months a reasonable time to be concerned that nothing is being done for safety sake of me, the driver or anyone elapse in my car if the air bag deploys! I live in Florida with high temperatures and humidity which are hard on the mechanism of the air bags

Takata recall - NHTSA campaign number 17V006000 the airbag recall has caused significant stress in being able to safely Transport any passengers in my vehicle and Toyota has failed to provide any temporary remedy in regards to the airbag recall which is very unprofessional. Also unprofessional is the lack of Toyota response to any of the 247 complaints (listed on this website). The recall NHTSA campaign number 17V006000 was issued January 9, 2017. It is incomprehensible that a manufacturer could not deliver replacement parts for over eight months now. We are a family of Toyota owners. We have 6 Toyota, all of which are different models. The real test of a manufacturer is the reliability of the product. Toyota has failed to resolve this recall timely. We will be filing to join in the class action settlement, however, there are some things that money can not buy. Inconvenience is one of them. While I understand manufacturing processes may need to be evaluated and companies are consistently improving products, it still remains that Toyota has not resolved this timely and will result in a loss of reputation.
