Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problems of the 2005 Toyota Tundra

"takata recall" on or around August 23, 2016 I called a toll free phone number either off a recall notification flyer I received in the mail or from a voice message on our home phone regarding the passenger airbag inflator on my 2005 Toyota Tundra truck. They asked where I wanted my vehicle fixed and I chose wilde Toyota (3225 s 108th st, west allis, WI) since that is where I bought the truck from and have done a variety of repairs on this and other vehicles. The operator called their service department and I was notified the part would need to be ordered. I wasn't given any time frame, but I assumed it couldn't take long. I called wilde Toyota today (September 13, 2016), and I was informed it was ordered as promised, but it would take 3 months!! I was never notified of this. I was told I shouldn't have someone in the front passenger seat. How does Toyota expect a vehicle to be used for 3 months without allowing a passenger in the front seat. I don't understand why they wouldn't have an inventory on hand to handle quick turnaround. I understand it could be hard to manage , but 3 months is ridiculous.

Notified of safety recall on or about 6/16/2015, dealer# d3f, NHTSA id# 15v285 and an interim notice sometime after that for front passenger airbag inflators. As of yet no parts have been available in NJ. And no parts will be available for the foreseeable future??? are you kidding me?? takata apparently knew about this problem since early 2013 and parts are still not available?? and while my vehicle wasn't added to the list until 6/2015, the company knew there was a problem well before that. Having to wait 4-6 months (if I'm lucky) for a recalled part is unacceptable and I realize there are many, many vehicles involved but really?? some people may actually not have their vehicles fully operational or safe for upwards of 2. 5 years? is takata or Toyota going to pay us for the time these vehicles are not fully operational because when I bought my truck I intended on getting full safe use out of it not partial use. Sorry to blow off steam on you but I am very frustrated, disappointed and concerned with this whole situation as I'm sure many others are. In any event, if you have any additional information on when this part will be available in NJ please let me know.

Received a notice from Toyota on June 16 2015 saying that it is unsafe to drive the car with someone in the front passenger seat due to faulty air bag inflator which may rupture and seriousely injure the passenger. Notice said that the dealer would replace the item when they get the parts. It is now October 2, 2015 and the dealer stil not have the part. Toyota says the part is not available and does not know when it will be. This is unacceptable for the largest car manufacturer in the world not to have a part needed to fix a potentially fatal defect over 3 months from notification. In the mean time my use of the truck is severely restricted, I can't sell the truck due to disclosure issues. This is another case of puttng corporate profits ahead of customer's lives. I will not buy another Toyota.
