    Takata recall-our 4runner has been judged unsafe to drive and toyota has not yet offered an eta for the required repairs while every other brand affected by the recall has either provided repairs to their owners or reached out to schedule them. I have contacted toyota by e-mail and phone only to be advised a remedy was not yet available with no eta projected. No mishap involving this vehicle yet.

    Takata recall. Toyota's response to the recall is unacceptable. I simply do not understand how they can justify telling people not to use their cars, without offering an solution, compensation or even an estimated timeline for the fix. How is it that they will offer a buy-program to tacoma and tundra owners over some rust, but i am offered nothing for a car that is inoperable?

    Takata recall - i was notified over 6 months ago that the air bags were recalled. There still has not been a remedy for this recall. I have been driving an unsafe vehicle with 2 children in it that can potentially get injured by this air bag. I looked online and there is still not a remedy for my vehicle. It says by december 2017 as an estimate. The letter says not to have someone sit in the front seat. That is not…

    Takata recall. I purchased my 2012 4runner in june 2016. I was not notified there was a recall (no. 16v-340) for the takata air bag on the front passenger side. I have since received recall #17v-006. I thought it was not lawful for a dealer to sell a vehicle under recall without notifying the new owner. I was not notified of the takata recall, or i would not have purchased the vehicle. Do i have any recourse?

    Takata inflator ; the remedy or fix is taking too long . I have a nephew with a sequoia and he said his was fixed already..i have had numerous inquiries from dealer wanting me to trade up. Why would dealer want mine unless they could fix and sell quickly. This does not pass the smell test.

    Takata recall. It has been 10 months since the recall was announced on january 9, 2017, yet there is still no solution/remedy for it by toyota. The recall status is still listed as "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available". In the meantime, thousands of us 4runner drivers are at risk to injury or death due to this defect. That is unacceptable.
