I called a Toyota dealership on June 18, to order parts for a recall. They told me they would call me with 2 to 3 weeks when they arrive, or call me and give me updates as to when they would arrive. Today is August 28, and I have heard nothing. I expected they would call me, so I forgot all about it, but now I'm trying to make sure all my errands are done before school starts tomorrow, and I am just realizing I have had no call, no updates, nothing from them in over 2 months. My registration is due in November, and I work with the dmv, and I know if you do not take care of a recall before your tags are due, you do not get your tags. I don't want to be scrambling in two months for someone to get me my parts. This is utterly ridiculous. I can't drive safely with anyone in my passenger seat because of this, and yet, the dealership takes no heat for this. That's not right at all.

I am contacting you in regard to NHTSA Toyota air bag recall 15v-285 and 16v-127 I received the safety recall remedy notice in June 2016 which stated ¿Toyota has completed parts preparation for vehicles in your geographic area. ¿have this remedy performed as soon as possible. ¿ I contacted the dealer, russell Toyota, and was scheduled an appointment for June 10, 2016. At the appointment, I was told they could not make the repair because they had to see which part was needed and order it. I was told they would contact me when the part came in (fp number: 04006-06102 - air bag assy kit). Which is why I am writing. It has been a month since I took my car to the dealer to repair the recalled defect. When I called for an update, I was told the part had not been received and that they did not know when it would be received. However, the Toyota. Com/recall faq site states ¿the owner letters will be mailed in quantities consistent with parts availability and dealer repair capacity, and is expected to complete by June 1, 2016¿ and the notifications referenced above state ¿the repair will take approximately 2 hours. ¿ (suggesting the parts are available) therefore, it is reasonable to expect, 1) given I purchased my vehicle from this dealership, a replacement part for my vehicle would be available and 2) 3+ months is an unreasonable amount of time to repair a recall of this severity.

We received recall notice, called dealer to schedual repair. Repair dept wanted to know if I had ordered part? why do I have to order part? he dis say he would order and would take about 6-8 weeks. We had to let our grandson take our other vehicle on vacation because of recall. Didn't want him driving with other people in car with passenger airbag maybe not working. Why does it take so long to get a recall part.

Takata recall - I received the recall notice in the email with the following instructions, " until the remedy is performed we recommend that you do not operated the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat" I immediately contacted my local dealer who took my all the information they need to complete the recall and the service advisor told me that they will have to order the part and will contact me when it arrives. It has been several months and they still don't have any idea when the part will arrive. I contacted Toyota directly, and they don't have any idea when the part will arrive. I understand the amount of vehicles that are involved in this recall, however this has caused me numerous problems with the inability to put anyone in the passenger side of my car, and I have no idea when the problem will be rectified.

I own both a 2004 Corolla and the 2008 Toyota matrix. Both vehicles are on this urgent saafety recall. My 2004 Corolla appointment is for 6/15 at 8:30 am. This was not so bad. The 2008 Corolla matrix appointment is for August 5th at 10:00 am. I think this is not right, two and a half months to correct an inportant safety problem like this? the deller told me that they do not have the parts to correct a 2008. In your letters you say that the parts are out to certain locations. I use this vehicle to transport my grandchildren to school soft ball games and other inportant appointment? the passinger seat has to be used. What am I going to do when this problem can not be corrected until August?.

Takata recall the fact that you are losing the use of the front passenger seat for an undetermined amount of time is more than inconvenient. I have been a Corolla owner since 1982. Something needs to be done to get this dangerous situation corrected.

"takate recall". Months ago I checked and my car wasn't recalled. A few months ago I received a letter that it was. Told in letter to wait and I would be notified when part available. I waited and waited. Finally called 5/24/16 dealer and they asked, "did you call us and order part?" are you kidding me? the letter said to wait and I would be informed. No I didn't order part!! called Toyota customer center on 5/24/16 and they said within 48 hrs I would hear from someone (I assumed there). Just a couple of hours later the dealer called me!! are you kidding? I talked to them already. He said I may have in 8 weeks. Patiently waiting and now I'll try this. I am a senior and drive my grandchildren around and have been since 2011 when I bought this vehicle used with deadly airbags!!!! they are out for summer and I need to be able to take them places. This car is small. I need the part now, please.

Takata recall manufacturer has sent recall notice for airbag replacement but has failed to provide replacement parts. All local dealerships report receiving only a few parts per week and have hundreds of requests for repairs. Manufacturer is repairing at an insufficient rate. Front passenger seat of car is inoperable until repair complete.

Takata recall: I contacted auto nation Toyota in centennial, CO at least 4 weeks ago to get the "urgent recall" repaired. My initial call I was transferred multiple times and finally sent to a voicemail. After a week, my call was not returned, so I again called and after 15 minutes on the phone (they had to find out what the recall was and if they had parts), I was told they did not have the parts and they would order them and call me when they arrived. Another week passed and I still had not been contacted by autonation. I again called automation and was again put on hold for about 15 min because they had no information that I had called the previous two weeks. I was finally told again that they found my information and my parts were on order and I would be contacted when they arrived. Another week passed so I made my fourth and final call. I was eventually transferred to a voicemail and I left another message with all of my information (VIN, name and that I had called 3 previous times already). This final message was on Friday, April 22, 2016. As of today, Thursday, Apr. 28, 2016, I have yet to receive a call from auto nation to repair my urgent recall. This is totally unacceptable. On April 22, after leaving the final message with autonation, I contacted two other Toyota dealerships in the area and both and the parts and were able to get me in with just a few days. If automation could not do the repairs, they should have told me that initially, instead they lead me to believe they would do it, all the while we are driving an unsafe car and four weeks passed by. Definitely very poor customer service and no consideration for consumers safety.

Takata recall: I received my recall notice in March 2016. I have since been waiting for a call for when the parts have arrived. I have not received any calls. It is now September 14th. I'd like to be able to drive my significant other or friends in the front passenger seat. Toyota does not know when the parts will be ready, which I do not understand. This has been a very frustrating process.
