Takata recall they sent me a recall notice about one year ago stating no solution yet, in the meantime, death may occur if passenger side airbag deploys. So for a year no one can sit in the passenger seat, about a week ago I finally get a notice that they have the parts now. I call them and they put me on a wait list that the san jose steven's creek Toyota dealer tells me is going to be 4 to 6 weeks wait. So for a year, no one can sit on the passenger seat or fear of death if the airbag deploys. Now its 4 to 6 more weeks longer. I have 2 children seats installed in the middle row and the back seats are folded down to carry cargo. Where is my wife supposed to sit in the meantime?!? this is a ridiculously long time that I'm not able to use my passenger side seat. This is criminal.
Takata recall I received the recall notice from Toyota early June of 2016 to state that the passenger side airbag has been recalled and the remedy was not ready. It has been more than half year since then, and the remedy is still not ready. None of the dealers has it. Toyota hasn't sent any follow up notice since then. I just received another recall notice from Toyota last week to state that the slide doors on the Sienna could open during the driving. My kids sit on it everyday, and it is really scary even though I already turned off the power door function. Even more scary, based on the experience of the airbag, hard to know how long Toyota will take care of this recall. Can someone look into the problem with Toyota and urge them to take the action and start repairing all the critical recalls?.
Takata recall - this is a formal complaint regarding the lack of remedy for the airbag on my Toyota Sienna - passenger side airbag. This issue impedes having passengers ride safely in the front and this has not been rectified for several years. We do not feel completely safe when riding in the vehicle due to the "unknown" nature of this recall. Deaths related to this particular issue have already been reported in several states.
