    Takata recall - this recall came out in may of 2016 and, to date feb. 2017, there still has been no resolution. Toyota's written recommendation was to not let anyone ride in the front seat of the vehicle which is unrealistic. It should not take this long to arrive at a solution. If a whole new air bag system needs to be installed, then that is what needs to be done asap.
