42 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/09/2017

Takata recall. This recalled was published on 9 January 2017 and it still shows a status of "incomplete with a remedy not yet available". Yet, there is a safety risk of serious injury or death.

We are also of transferring to europe on military orders in June and haven't heard back from them.

I am the owner of a 2012 Toyota 4runner which has a current air bag recall. The parts were not available before our military pcs transfer overseas. They became available after my move overseas, but Toyota has not been able to assist in replacing my airbags. I am not getting ready to transfer back to the u. S. And this might affect my shipment of pov. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. -lcdr christian miura, uscg (living in the netherlands).

Failure Date: 01/01/2017

Takata recall - I have not received any information on when my car will be fixed. My son uses this for college and often transports fellow students.

This is now unacceptable. They should be held accountable to fix this situation immediately.

55 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2017

Takata recall I keep getting flyers in the mail about the recall but every time I call the Toyota dealership they say they can't get the replacement airbags to install in my car. What is going on? the flyers even say not to allow a passenger to sit in the front seat? how am I supposed to comply with that when this has gone on for a year now?.

56 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/30/2016

Takata recall: airbag replacement is not being performed in a timely fashion. I'm terrified to drive my 4 runner due to possible defect. This has been a extreme hardship on my family. I have been waiting for a replacement for months. I find this situation very unfair to the vehicle owner. I cannot trade my vehicle at this time, so I'm stuck with no option but to drive the defected vehicle and take a chance on being injured or dying, or park it for what 2 years? this is unacceptable.
