Takata recall. In regards to my recall airbag repair, why is it that my 2004 Toyota corolla already had the repair performed" seems I get a different answer everytime I ask that question. Now my 2005 Corolla matrix which is currently 11 years old is finally having this repair performed. And Toyota's recommendation is that I do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. What about the previous 11 years that rode in that seat with the same defect" if Toyota truly cared about my safety, they should have made that suggestion when they first knew of it. But they probably wouldn't have sold very many 4 passenger corollas set-up with 3 people in the back seat and only the driver sitting in front. Heck, to ensure the safety of their customers they should have removed the front passenger seat or removed the back of that seat along with the seat-belt to guarantee nobody rides in that seat. But none of those things happened simply because truth be told, it only became a safety issue once Toyota had to come to terms with the defect; their behavior is simply unacceptable. A sincere apology would state "for any inconveniences this has caused." Instead of "we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this will cause, but we are taking this action to ensure your safety." Caught in their own lie is what really occurred again if they truly cared we would have known about this problem asap.....the people I feel the most pain for are those unfortunate people who got into a front car accident and did everything right, but their airbag, that was supposed to save their life, wound up either injuring them or not doing its intended job all while Toyota knew of the problem. I hope nobody lost their life due to this because no amount of money can ever bring back that person. Just so un-Japanese behavior by a Japanese company, shame Toyota motors.

Takata recall - I received a letter several months ago informing me my Matrix was recalled for the air bag inflators. I was told I'd be contacted when the parts were available. After hearing nothing, I went to Toyota's website. It says the part should have been available in my area starting in Dec. 2015. I contacted my local dealer, & they told me they couldn't do the repair until the end of Aug. 2016. It will have been about a year & a half since I was informed of the recall - this is a totally unacceptable amount of time. Meanwhile, they suggest no one ride in the passenger seat until the repair is complete. Toyota is doing a terrible job with this whole thing.

I got a recall for the airbags. I'm kind of wondering if I should be driving my car.

Takata recall - in June 2015, I was notified by Toyota that my Matrix had been added to the list of vehicles affected by the takata recall and that I should contact my local dealer to set up repairs. When I called I was told that I would be contacted again once the parts were available. I have now received the notification that parts are available, nearly 10 months after the initial notification. What troubles me is that in the latest letter it states " until this remedy is performed, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat." Why didn't they mention this before" why didn't they provide the repairs sooner" what if I had been in an accident with someone in the front passenger seat, they might have been severely injured or possibly killed. Why are these large companies allowed to put others at risk simply by performing some sort of failure analysis when peoples lives are at risk.

Recall has not been fixed

Takata recall: I received a safety recall notice for my 2005 Toyota matrix in the mail over 9 months ago stating that when parts are available, Toyota will reach out to me to "remedy the defect". and that in the the meantime "until the remedy becomes available in my location, it is recommended that I do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat." I have not received any further notifications regarding this and believe that Toyota has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time. Please let me know at your earliest convenience when I can expect to have this remedied.

"takata recall" repair parts still unavailable. When will this be corrected!

- Hayward, CA, USA

Takata recall. I was given the notice a few months ago (at least 2) that the passenger airbag needed to be replaced and to avoid having someone sit in the passenger seat. I contacted the dealer today (1-14-16) and the parts are still not available. It is unreasonable to take this long for a safety issue to be resolved and tell customers that they just shouldn't have a passenger.
