Takata recall thankfully, no incident yet. Received interim recall notice in may 2016, stating they would send another notice when the remedy had been prepared. Six months later, it has not. Conveniently, Toyota absolves themselves of responsibility by stating: "until the remedy becomes available, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. " this is not a reasonable remedy for such a long time period, and my circumstances are such that my wife and I have no alternative but to continue driving our only car, with cargo in the back and passengers in the front. Most disturbing to me is the fact that it is only the front passenger airbag implicated in the recall. If the driver's side airbags have the same problem, would Toyota advise me not to operate the vehicle with an occupant in the driver's seat? no, because then the car would be completely non-operable, and Toyota would have a much greater liability to provide replacement vehicles, right? have they just done the math and concluded it's better to settle driver side bags fatalities in court than to replace all those faulty airbags? I do not feel safe driving my own car, and I do not feel satisfied with Toyota's delayed response to this life-threatening defect. Here's a simple suggestion: if they can't replace 50,000,000 airbags all at once, why not disable the airbags until such time as it won't shoot metal shards into people's faces? this should be a standard feature available in all cars with the turn of a key.

"takata recall" - I live in san antonio, texas which is designated climate zone 2a humid. It has been six months since Toyota sent me a letter informing me of a recall of my car due to the passenger air bag. In the letter, it stated that in a hot, humid climate such as ours, the takata airbag would be expected to begin deteriorating about six years after manufacture and be totally deteriorated by nine years. I didn't get the letter until nine years after purchasing the car. It's like Toyota saying, "guess what, the passenger air bag in your car is likely totally deteriorated now, so we recommend your not carrying any passengers until we get around to replacing your air bag. " I've been driving my wife and other family members around quite often since we've bought the Yaris, and now I'm just finding out it was dangerous for them to be riding as a passenger for the past four years, and especially now. I'm angry and disappointed that it took Toyota so long to inform me of this problem and especially more so when I think I was gambling with my family's safety every time we were using the passenger seat. I want to get my air bag replaced now or find out how I can disable the air bag. I will also accept getting a similar model loaner car with passenger side air bags no older than two years old. The date indicated in the form below is the date of this particular recall being issued.

Takata recall we have been waiting over 6 months for a repair on our right side air bag. Because of the danger to a passenger in the right seat we have been unable to use, this vehicle except for driver only use. I feel it is taking way too long for the repair to take place. I don't feel like Toyota or the federal government is doing enough to get this repair completed. I live in a tropical climate and my car is six years old both of these conditions should put me on a priority list. I would like to hear back from you as to what is being done to help me. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I received a safety recall notice regarding the air bags on our Toyota Yaris and took the vehicle in for repair to Toyota of new bern, 5010 highway 70 east, new bern, nc, 252 637 7200. The recall specifed a spiral cable replacement. Subsequently, Toyota of new bern service said they replaced the cable but that another problem prevented them from repairing the driver's side airbag. The cost to repair this defect would run $1,600, I was told. I called corporate Toyota which reiterated that repairs could not be made without payment for repair of a broken wire behind interior trim within the car. I am somewhat at a loss since there is not sign of any damage to interior trim sufficient to break wires behind it. And frankly I have only the word of Toyota that they did indeed replace the spiral cable. The driver side airbag remains inoperative until this issue is resolved, a risk to safety and a detriment to any future sale of the vehicle. .

I was taking to the saint lucie hospital to check for injuries, which I have whiplash, and contusion of my lower limb, and bruises where my seat belt was.
