38 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2015

The recall notices was received in April, 2015. But the part needed to fix the problem was not available. The recall notices said "Toyota is preparing sufficient parts to support installation of sub-wire harness. . . . We will send another notification when preparation are complete". My concern is that me and my family are currently driving around in an unsafe vehicle. The recall notice went on to say "the front airbag and/or seatbelt pretensioners could inadvertently deploy" my question is when is this problems going to be fixed. I have not taking this car on a major trip since this recall because I feel my family is at risk. I would appreciate a response to this inquiry. This recall correction need to be completed.

42 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/30/2015

Takata recall . . . It's been a year since we received the recall notice. Each time we contact our dealership we're told the fix is not ready yet. It's difficult to believe Toyota is taking this seriously if they can first say our lives are at risk and then diddle around for a full year without doing anything about it beyond sending out a letter. Do they get federal credit for responding to a recall situation when all they've done is post a letter to us????.

We have a 2003 Toyota Avalon which we purchased new from Toyota dealership. It has an outstanding air bag recall dated January 27, 2015.

The fix for this recall is long overdue! what action is being taken to expedite the fix? we have been waiting close to 7 months for this repair!

Failure Date: 01/27/2015

Over one (1) year ago I received a safety recall notice on this vehicle stating that the electronic control unit (ecu) would need to be replaced. Over a year later and "remedy not available" is the response from Toyota. It appears that the remedy is to delay, delay, delay so as many of these cars as possible are retired and do not require repair. Please let me know how this recall problem is going to be resolved in a timely manner.

70 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2015

I received a safety recall notice from Toyota in January 2015. The instructions say they are working on a remedy for the srs ecu. I have called them twice and submitted a complaint to you once regarding the unreasonable delay in implementing the 'remedy'. They continue to say to wait until they have replacement parts. It is beginning to feel like a stalling process waiting for my persistence to weaken. The potential problem includes reports of inadvertent airbag deployment. Someone needs to provide them with some encouragement. Is that your job?.
