Our one-car family has been very burdened by this recall for many months because the current "solution" is to not have anyone sitting in the passenger seat. This is already a small car and we have lost one seat due to this issue. If Toyota cannot come up with a solution in a reasonable time frame, they should compensate owners of this car for loss of front seat passenger use.

Takata recall. I was issued a recall that has yet to be remedied that may result in serious injury or death to myself or a passenger in my car. How am I supposed to drive in a dangerous vehicle that I depend on to get to work every day? I think it is extremely necessary to at least provide a timeline for the remedy, or at the very least allow all owners at serious risk to use rental cars at no cost from Toyota.

(takata recall) this recall has been open for more than two months now and it is very serious. The remedy is not available yet. I have visited my local dealer in long beach, California and they told me Toyota did not provide the parts yet. What are they waiting for? I cannot have my family in the passenger seat knowing it is dangerous to even sit there!

I've had several recall notices mailed to me regarding airbag recall. I've called the Toyota dealer several times asking when I could get in to get it fixed. Always some excuse about parts are on the way and "I'm on the waiting list", whatever that means. Please advise. Thank you.

- Clinton, AL, USA
I braked to avoid hitting an animal which emerged from the ditch. The car fishtailed, lost control and flipped once landing on it's top. The driver's side was damaged and the insurance company totaled the car. I did hit my head against the driver's side window, but the blow was not severe. My concern is that the side airbag did not deploy. The anti-lock brakes did not work either and have only worked intermittently for quite some time.

Vehicle veered off road to right hitting street sign. Continued down embankment rolling over approximately four times. None of the air bags in the car ejected. The vehicle sustained frontal crash, side crash and roll over. I feel this vehicle safety is misrepresented and very dangerous.

The airbag on the passenger side of our 2008 Toyota Yaris sedan is not functioning properly. The lsrs warning light has come on eight different times. We only have paperwork for six of the incidents. When we bring the car in for service, they just reset the light (turn it off) and they have asked us not to push the seat back, but to keep it in the mid range of the rail, not to recline the seat in the back position, but to decline the seat forward while a person is riding in the passenger seat. We were told by the technician that we should never let a child or small person ride in the front seat. We were also told that this condition could cause the airbag to go off while driving. They have never taken the vehicle apart to see what the problem actually is. They only shut the warning light off. People are afraid to ride in this vehicle. The dealership has now refused to honor their warranty on the airbags in this vehicle. They blamed a panel at the nh department of safety for breaking the vehicle when they caused the light to appear again after they test drove the vehicle. They had previously disengaged the warning light, so the panel did not find a defect' subsequently, they found for Toyota. The light reappeared minutes after the car was restarted after their drive in it. We requested that they would hear the case, the panel at the arbitration dept at the nh department of safety refused. We will now be charged for every time this vehicle has to have this warning light reset as well as driving a car that their :special" technician admitted they had no idea why this was happening.
