Sequoia

In early August I received a safety recall notice from Toyota about the passenger side airbag being unsafe in our 2006 Sequoia. Apparently this recall has been in effect since June 2015 so I find it unacceptable that we weren't notified until early August. The recall notice recommends that we do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat until Toyota has fixed the problem. However, Toyota is taking an excessively long time to provide parts for the repair. It is now August 31 and there is still no definitive date set for repairing the problem. Further, Toyota is providing only up to $35/day reimbursement for a loaner vehicle -- which covers only a third to half of what it costs to rent a vehicle of comparable size to our Sequoia. This is unfair and a big inconvenience to our family. I understand that parts availability can take time - but at least provide us with a comparable replacement car at no charge.

I am part of the front passenger seat airbag recall for 2006 Toyota Sequoias. As a consumer, I have known about the defective airbag for almost 12 months and I am just now receiving a letter from Toyota about it. All the letter says is that Toyota is trying to find parts with no further information or date when the airbag will be replaced. In the meantime, Toyota asks me not to have a passenger in the front passenger seat. I believe Toyota has negligently stretched the recall notice long past when the problem was first discovered. Toyota still does not have replacement parts and the recall letter sets no timetable for the repair. The remedy is woefully inadequate to not use the front passenger seat. I know the us government has sued over this airbag issue. When does the actual consumer benefit from a suitable remedy?
