I have gotten the "takata recall" letter and took my car on March 18, 2018, with mike briseno from Toyota here near my place 1901 s figueroa st, los angeles, CA 90007. They offered me an uber ride home from the dealership with my husband and said it will take 2-3 hours. Got the call from mike briseno and said that my car is ready. I got there and he said they did not do anything and had to order the parts. Called the dealership on may 16, 2018, talked to mike said he will call me to see back order and never responded if the parts ever arrived since may 2018. Car was never fixed.

Tanaka recall. I had all recalls done since the first one in 2013. At my 2016 recall Toyota mech said recall was done and that all was good and it was safe now. I left lot convinced it was true and I could now allow riders in front seat without threat of injury /death. N0w 2018 discover was not safe to have passenger. That more recalls coming but parts not produced fully in 2016. Airbag was replaced by same defective airbag as taken out,only difference being that it was only out of box not safe redesigned type!!why was I not informed that this was the case when I got the last recall installed??now have another notice that the real safe one has finished production and I can have one installed now. Meantime my family including grandchildren have been in serious danger of serious injury or death by riding in the front seat!! contacted various Toyota officials but no attempt at explaining problem. In fact passed to "generic: untrained employee who, or course, was totally unprepared to offer advice or any answers concerning safety, problem. Tried west coast ceo ? again to end up in same customer service. Cannot enter place time etc since safety negligence occurred over at least 2 years and was there at every place and time I drove a passenger anywhere.

I was notified in March that my car had a bad airbag and I would be notified when it would be replaced. I just talked to my dealer and they have no idea when it will get done. That seems un acceptable to me that we have 3/4 of a car til it gets replaced. Shouldn't there be a timetable on recalls? thank you.

Toyota airbag recall case #1502102044 ***2/13/had to drive 135 miles with 72 yr old vietnam vet business partner crammed in back seat amongst other cargo during a business trip. *** must operate vehicle with passenger in car for business 85% of usage time. Otherwise I cannot run my business!! Toyota refuses to provide me with a solution or a rental until solution is available. They want me to put my 72 yr old vietnam vet business partner in back seat with fully loaded cargo rather than help me fix the airbag problem. They absolutely refuse to help me. This is wrong. I cannot operate my vehicle for business without my business partner. Toyota will not provide me with any workaround, nor any solution, in any timely manner. But yet they tell me I cannot operate my vehicle safely as I need to do to continue running my business.

"takata recall" manufacturer recall number dsb NHTSA recall number 15vo43 recall status recall incomplete summary the electronic control unit (ecu) for the supplemental restraint system (srs) in these vehicles could have been manufactured with integrated circuits that are susceptible to internal short circuiting when exposed to certain electrical noise from various vehical electrical components. If internal short circuiting occurs, the front airbag(s) and/or seat belt pretensioners could inadvertently deploy. An airbag that deploys inadvertently can, under some circumstances, increase the risk of minor injury and the possibility of a crash.
Takata recall is taking way too long to complete. It has been almost one year, and my Toyota dealer still does not have the necessary parts to complete this recall. Something is wrong. It should not take this long. I think they are stalling and hoping that everyone with a 2003 model year car, sells it. As I understand it, this is a serious problem. They should be made to produce these parts, even if it means working 24 hour shifts until they have sufficient parts.
Dear NHTSA folks, • the safety recall is dated January 27, of this year (2015) . • I have waited five months, so far, for a remedy to this manufacturing defect. • going into the sixth month, we continue to be concerned for our safety each time we drive our Matrix. Please help, for goodness sake, without further delay! yours, bob mcleaish indianapolis.
