Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problems of the 2010 Toyota 4Runner

Takata recall: I own a 2010 Toyota 4 runner, is now 7 years old. I live in zone a, so was projected to injure/kill last year. I want it fixed, ASAP. How can I demand Toyota takes care of my airbag inflator? please help me.

Takata recall - received a letter from Toyota in June 2016 stating that my front, passenger airbag was recalled due to "the propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. Degraded propellant can cause inflator rupture during airbag deployment. In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death. " it has been 6 months and I have contacted Toyota to find out what the hold up is and if there is an anticipated date for when I will have my air bag replaced. They stated that the reason is because they have a high number of vehicles and they are working on the oldest vehicles first and then moving up. They do not have an anticipated date for the remedy and their only suggestion is to not have anybody ride in the front, passenger side and if I do need to have my car at capacity then I need to get a rental!.

The front seat passenger air bag has a takata air bag inflator and has been recalled for my vehicle located in zone a- florida. The propellant has been degraded by high humidity and can cause inflator rupture during deployment. This will project metal fragments through the airbag striking the occupants resulting in serious injury or death. With this warning I can not put anyone in my passenger seat for fear of even more serious injury from an accident or air bag deployment. It appears that Toyota is trying to pass liability to the vehicle driver/owner with this important safety warning. There are no replacement parts expected for over 6 months and local Toyota dealer that services my vehicle does not have a loaner vehicle in kind that will meet my transportation 4x4 requirements. I fear excessive injury to my passengers and can not allow my family to ride in my vehicle. The vehicle is like a time bomb waiting to explode upon impact. I want a new vehicle that is safe for my family.

Takata recall I believe the Toyota action plan is negligent in response to a known defect with potentially fatal consequences. As I have been notified by letter, my vehicle is equipped with the defective inflators and located in the region of most detrimental climate. The vehicle has also been in service long enough to invoke the known safety concern. Both the problem and solution are known (unit replacement) yet Toyota has no *current* schedule or recall action to replace the airbags. This is clearly a financial decision, not a safety decision nor an engineering decision. There is no justifiable reason to delay this process. The recommended interim solution (between now and an unspecified date) is to only operate the vehicle without a front seat passenger-- this is not a solution, as it leaves the vehicle non-functional to its primary purpose as a multi-passenger conveyance. This also neglects the fact that a high velocity projectile can cause great damage or injury whether a passenger is present or not. As a citizen and customer, I would like to formally file a complaint that the delayed recall process is completely unacceptable.

An interim recall notice recommends no occupants in the front passenger seat due to possible airbag inflator rupture resulting in serious injury or death. That is unreasonable for the use of the vehicle without a recall date confirmation. The notice does not provide a date when the vehicle will be recalled for repair. We live in the highest risk zone c and my wife is afraid to drive the vehicle.

Takata inflators I recieved my notice concerning the recall due to the takata inflator of the passenger airbag back in July 2016. Until now I keep reading that there is no remedy available yet. This is taking too long.

Takata inflator - it has been six months since my vehicle airbag was recalled and I have been unable to drive with a passenger. Toyota cannot provide a time frame for when my vehicle will be repaired and will only provide a loaner vehicle if I leave my vehicle at the dealership. The dealership will not be liable for any damage done while they possess my vehicle.

Takata recall. I have been trying for almost a year without success to have my recalled airbags replaced. I have been working with my local Toyota dealer, kendall a Toyota of anchorage, alaska and have been told repeatedly they are waiting on an install kit. Meanwhile, my vehicle, (who spent the better part of its life in hot, humid texas, making the inflators even more unstable) remains unsafe for my family. Please assist me in resolving this issue.

Takata inflators. Have not been able to use passenger seat for over 1 year. Still waiting for repairs over 1 year later.

Received recall 5/23/2016. As of 3/2/2017 the repair has not been made. I have celled Toyota and visited the dealer may times. The dealer has no information and the representative from Toyota could only tell me that the parts will be released and she no information as to when they will be released. It the inflator explodes it can be lethal. No-one has been able to use the passenger seat for 10 months and there is no relief in sight. Toyota is not providing due diligence. They have not obtained the repair parts and provide no useful information other than the original recall notice. They said they would provide a "loaner" . This is a canard. I was told my original vehicle would be impounded at the dealership until repaired. Obviously storing a vehicle unattended out in the elements for a year is not an option. I am requesting that you "stimulate" Toyota to expedite the parts and let the owners affected know what is going on. Thank you.

Passenger side takata airbag inflator (zone a) recall not yet replaced. I live in houston, texas; one of the most humid places on earth. How soon may I plan on this inflator being replaced?.
