I have visited and called kendall Toyota in miami five times (today included) to change the airbags in my Matrix and the answer is always the same: we don't have them, they are in back order. What are we Toyota owners of recalled airbags causing deaths supposed to do?.

Takata recall Toyota send me a safety recall notice (interim notice) re front passenger airbag initiator module. They had the audacity to say that "until the remedy becomes available in your location, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat"!!! that is unacceptable, especially since we live in an area that receives lots of humidity (Toyota says they are prioritizing part replacements in geographic locations that are subject to consistently high absolute humidity, but they do not list which areas they think this applies to. Where we live certainly meets the high moisture criteria). Our complaint is that Toyota should replace the parts now!!), please insist they rectify their defective airbags now for our car in this high-humidity locale. On another note, this Toyota vehicle has been nothing but trouble: water pump replaced not long after purchase (when car was basically still brand new), hub caps that fall off constantly, and most frustrating of all, a vibration/noise from the front end that the dealer refused to fix. The dealer misdiagnosed the noise/vibration by replacing the wrong front wheel bearing. When we told them the noise persisted, the Toyota dealer said the warranty was over & would not fix their previous error!! now Toyota unscrupulously sends an interim notice of a defect that could kill a passenger in our car. As before, please make Toyota fix the airbag now so we can use the car safely now!.
Takata recall. I feel that Toyota is taking too long to fix this issue. I think that it is ridiculous that they expect passengers to sit in the back seat for no telling how long. If nothing else they should give out loaner vehicles until they fix the airbag problem!.
Received a recall notice that my car is unsafe to drive and that Toyota recommends that I have their remedy performed immediately. I called as soon as the dealership opened on a Saturday and they told me that I should call back mid week because they are really busy. If my car is immediately unsafe to drive, waiting until mid week to be able to drive my car again is completely unacceptable.

Takata recall the news reported the death of a woman driving a car with takata airbags. Why is nothing being done about Toyota not doing anything to fix this defect and allowing us to drive these death machines. I currently do not have any one in my passenger seat, this latest death was the driver.
