TAKATA RECALL WITH NO INCIDENTS
ODI 11054547
Air Bags
Takata recall - is taking much too long. My concern and toyota warning expressed about the recall is it creates a danger to front seat passengers and does not allow me to use the vehicle front seat. This is very inconvenient as well as unsafe. Ii have contacted my dealership and keep getting notices but nothing happens. When will remedy be available?

Dakota recall my toyota 4runner 2012 has airbags which may maim or kill front seat passengers in this car. This is outrageous!!!! Why has the remedy not been made available to me. Risking the life of a grandchild or friend riding in my car is surreal to me. Why isn't there a solution????????

We are unable to have our car airbags repaired after contacting the dealer for the recall due to a lack of remedy. We live in zone a and the lack of remedy for such a dangerous defect (exploding airbags) is unfathomable. Please pursue takata for a remedy aggressively, before we pay the price.

Takata recall. I received a recall notice for my vehicle a few months ago, and yet the replacement part is not available yet. The recall notice says that i shouldn't allow passengers to sit in the front seat of my car. So i'm just frustrated that this problem is not fixed, and it's inconveniencing my everyday life.

When i asked about an equivalent rental for the next 8 months they referred me back to…

Takata recall-i received an interim notice months ago that i cannot use the front passenger seat. I have 2 car seats filling the back and need to use the front seat for adults. It is ridiculous that it has taken so long to remedy this and not be able to travel safely with another adult?!?!

Takata recall- i have received notice of the airbag recall, but a remedy is not yet available. It states, "we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat." we are a family of 6, so this is not an option for us. Toyota has known about this issue since 2013 but is just now recalling. I am paying 650.00 a month for a vehicle that, per this letter, i cannot make full use of.

Takata recall. Toyota's letter states not to use the front passenger seat while they figure out a solution. We purchased this vehicle to use it as a 5 passenger vehicle and we need to use all the seats. Please get toyota/takata to replace this airbag as soon as possible!

It goes on to warn that no one should ride in the passenger seat until a remedy has been established to fix the problem. This is our main vehicle and mode of transportation. My wife has to regularly ride in the…

Takata recall hi, i do not believe my toyota dealer (dotson toyota, auburn, wa) or toyota is re-mediating the airbag defect in a reasonable time. Neither the dealer or toyota is able to provide me an estimated timeframe for repair/replacement of the airbag, and this is unacceptable. Recommending to not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat without an estimate timeframe for…
