Takata recall, the time that it is taking to remedy this problem and the solution Toyota has is not sufficient. 1 pay for the airbags and submit a reimbursements claim, 2 don't use the passenger seat. Stating that they are up to 2002 for this model is a great inconvenience when purchasing a vehicle for its supposed safety features.

Received notice of recall for front passenger airbag in May 2015; Toyota has still not resolved the problem and recommended no use of front passenger seat because of safety. It is now ~8 months later and no resolve. Also, tailgate wipers, window and wiper fluid system not operational (since 2008) despite all good fuses in 4 compartments.

My vehicle is the subject of a recall for a defective takata airbag inflator. The vehicle was purchased in Arizona a few years ago, and I live in san diego, ca. I have a vacation home in baja California sur, Mexico. I keep the Toyota Sequoia at that home in Mexico, about 900 miles from California. There is a Toyota dealer in san jose del cabo who could make the repair. I do not want to drive the vehicle 1800 miles round trip to the usa in order to have the repair done in the usa. Toyota has refused to allow its dealer in san jose del cabo to make the repair. I would like to have you to require Toyota to repair my vehicle purchased in the United States by a U.S. citizen in Mexico.

Toyota is recalling passenger airbags due to faulty takata airbag in which metal fragments may deploy with the air bag. Our vehicle is one of the recalled vehicles and I received notice in June/July 2015 with a recommendation not to have any passenger in the front passenger seat. It is now Oct. And no replacement airbags have yet been made available. This is our primary vehicle and months have passed without resolution of this safety problem. This is unsatisfactory and more needs to be done to remedy this problem in a shorter amount of time.

Received a recall notice involving passenger seat air bag shrapnel upon activation. Toyota recommend no one ride in passenger seat until repaired. After making numerous calls about followup, no solution was forthcoming. No timeline when parts will be available for repair (they don't even have any)!!! that was almost 4 mo. Ago and still no info. From Toyota. I called Toyota again today (10/6/2015) and the story was the same except a Toyota representative did state the air bag could possibly activate at any time without impact. Toyota stated in their recall that the shrapnel could cause fatal injuries to occupants!!!! I would like to know what is being done to protect the citizens who own these potential death traps"???? this has been known for months but no one seems to care!!!! I did read that Toyota was offering 35$ for rental car services but nothing was said about that in my recall letter. And that the government had sued Toyota over this. But what about us, the owners of these potential time bombs??? who's helping us???????" thank you
