Dear sir or madame, please assist us with our problem. Toyota is really bad about this latest recall. It still has not been fixed! it is ridiculous that the "fix" is not to sit in the passenger seat. This lowers the value of my car since who wants to buy a used vehicle with this serious issue! plus my wife cannot sit next to me to give me directions since I am deaf and cannot hear the gps. Can't they just turn it off rather than letting it explode" we have another recall with them and that still have not been fixed in many years. I am still waiting for my $87 recall settlement for many years and here is another recall is not being done! now checking on a class action lawsuit against Toyota since this car cannot be used for the number of passengers it was purchased for! we may not be able to afford a new car, but we will roar. Please help us owners get this fixed??" thank you for your help, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Takata recall I just received notification about the takata recall and I was concerned because I have lived in humidity and fluctuating temperatures. I contacted my local dealership and they advised that they did not have a solution at this time. It is extremely frightening to know that your vehicle is not safe for you or your passengers. I have been advised by loved ones that takata was aware of this defect in 2004. Four years before I purchased my vehicle. It seems unreasonable that after buying a care brand new and paying in full that you should discover your life, and the lives of your family were not taken into consideration by the individuals that have been aware of this for some time. It is infuriating that they didn't offer a temporary solution, such as removing the air bag until the parts could be replaced. At this point I have to hope that my air bag isn't deployed for any reason, which makes me very nervous.

Takata recall: In April, 2016, I received a notice from Toyota that my vehicle would be recalled for an airbag replacement. Furthermore, I was not to allow anyone to use the front passenger seat until the replacement was made. This is a hardship. Toyota and my dealer, gatorland Toyota in gainesville, fl, agreed to loan me a rental car free of charge if needed due to hardship. I have used a rental car from gatorland twice now, but this is inconvenient. Furthermore, my vehicle is not worth its full value for resale without the airbag replacement. Replacement is now scheduled for May 2017, according to gatorland, but this date has been moved back several times already.

Takata recall: The NHTSA attendant I talked to about airbag recall on 09 matrix didn't seem to know anything about when it was to take place and told me to call Toyota. I need to have this fixed also Toyota doesn't have answer either! I can't afford a new car and you say this one isn't safe but what are you doing to make Toyota fix it?

Takata recall: The speed in which Toyota is remediating this problem is unacceptable. My car is my family's primary vehicle. The solution of not riding in the front seat until the car is officially recalled does not work for my family of four, since I have 2 car seats that take up my back seat. I feel that my life is in danger every time the four of us ride in the car. It now has been approximately 5 months since I was notified about my defective airbags.

Takata recall 16V-340: I was notified by Toyota that my vehicle was subject to the takata airbag recall for passenger side airbags 3 months ago. The dealer indicated that a replacement part was not yet available and was unable to give me an estimated timeframe in which it would be available for replacement. I am concerned about the safety risk. The Toyota notification indicated that if I believe that the dealer or Toyota has failed or is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable time frame, I may submit a complaint to NHTSA via this site, and so am doing so. Toyota is responsible for ensuring that vehicles meet safety standards and that when a safety concern is identified it is addressed in a timely and responsible manner. The manufacturer has failed in this regard. It is unreasonable to ask vehicle owners to operate the vehicle without a passenger in the front seat until the manufacturer can get around to fixing the problem.

My fiance' and I received a recall notice from Toyota for a safety recall to remedy the sprial cable that controls the airbag warning light. The recall notice told us to take the car to a Toyota dealership to have the car repaired free of charge. When we took the car for repair they said it had already been repaired and after checking with the manufacturer they stated it had been fixed on March 2, 2016 in NJ. The car was in Maryland on that date under my ownership so we do not understand how they could have repaired the car. They want to charge us for the diagnostics and possibly the repair since they insist that the car was already repaired. We have an airbag warning light located on the instrument panel that will not go off. This warning light is the same light on the recall notice. Toyota does not want to fix it without a fee, and they believe they have already fixed the problem. The light remains on our car to date. We would like an investigation of this mater before seeking legal counsel to rectify the safety problem. The vehicle was parked when the light illuminated and does not go off while driving the car.
