Failure Date: 10/26/2017

Takata recall. I received an interim recall notice (NHTSA no. 16v-340 & 17v-006) from Toyota. I have contacted my dealer at least 4 separate times regarding the recall repair. Each time I was told that the recall was interim and a recall repair had not been identified and was not possible. I am unable to pay for a replacement air bag inflator out-of-pocket so since receiving the recall notice (I believe nearly one year ago although there is no date on the notice from Toyota), I have been unable to operate my vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. Today, I received notice from takata (tk holdings inc. ) notifying me that they had filed chapter 11 bankruptcy and that I should contact my dealership immediately to schedule a free repair. My dealership asked to see a copy of this notice, as they had not received this information. They indicated that they would contact me with a follow-up after reviewing the notice. However, as of today, 10/26/2017, Toyota has been unable and unwilling to remedy the airbag problem and schedule my repair. The notice from tk holdings led me to visit the airbag recall website, which led me to file this complaint.

Takata recall. "remedy not available"! takata/Toyota has failed to remedy the safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner. The video on NHTSA site suggests serious injury or death can occur upon crash/impact due to takata defect. "timely manner" would be immediate repair�parts available in all states for all vehicles. I received notification last year 2016, it is now Aug. 2017 and I am still unable to escape possible injury or death because takata has failed. I live in very hot humid conditions in southern illinois/st. Louis. Is today the day I or occupant die from an airbag that is supposed to save lives? fortunately I have not had a crash with the vehicle, so I have not yet experienced the life threatening condition caused by the defect. Fortunately I am still alive to file a complaint�will I or my passengers be here tomorrow? takata and Toyota need to figure out the answer to that question. Since late last year (2016) recall instructions are to not ride with a passenger. And it is now August of 2017�people have families, friends, one life to live�and need to use their passenger seat! their delay in fixing is beyond negligent. Toyota dealers are disabling airbags and put "do not sit here sticker" in cars? I am making a car payment�their solution to not use � of my car. I am formally requesting that in addition to repair that takata/Toyota pay � of my car payment from time of first notice and until they have repaired my car. They are causing daily worry and stress- is today the day I get injured or die today from a shrapnel-shooting inflator? I have been a loyal Toyota owner. I would plan on another Toyota in the future�but what is Toyota/takata doing for me�except endangering myself and my family. By Dec. 2016 there were at least 11 deaths and 184 injuries. Those numbers will turn out higher. They are failing to fix the problem!.

Takata inflators. . . Notice received from Toyota in may/June 2016 to replace passenger airbag. Called today and found out they still don't have a replacement for my car. I am, however, to let no one sit in my front passenger seat, that is so unacceptable. I will have to tell all my passengers not to sit in the front and feel like a taxi driver. Reading Toyotas info on this recall, it states that the older cars in high temperature places are at of more high risk. I heard that Honda has been replacing their faulted airbags in reasonable time. Toyota told me they were working on their yaris and still haven't any information on when my call will be taken cared of, I don't think I should be driving such a dangerous car. I have been patient enough.

"takata recall". My mother and I received a statement from Toyota on 6-9-2016 regarding the takata front passenger airbag inflator recall. It is now 10-26-2016 and the recall part has not been in stock. My 93 year old mother's license expired on 10-16-2016 and we are attempting to sell the vehicle to a private party, but once they know the vehicle is unsafe with no pending date for the recall part to come in, they back out of the transaction. My mother continues to pay car insurance on a car that she can no longer drive and is unable to receive her income from the sale of the car. I had a recall with Honda that took no longer than a week and feel that Toyota has let us down by going over 4 months with no end in sight. I don't think that a company should treat customers who have owned 8 Toyota vehicles. Please help us resolve this problem. Thank you!.
