TAKATA RECALL WAS NOTIFIED OF AIRBAG DEFECT IN JULY 2016. IT IS JANUARY 2017 AND NO REPLACEMENT OR SOLUTION HAS BEEN OFFERED. RECALL RECOMMENDATION WAS TO HAVE UNOCCUPIED PASSENGER FRONT SEAT UNTIL AIRBAG IS FIXED. THIS IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE FOR A FAMILY VEHICLE. A CALL TO TOYOTA THIS MORNING RESULTED IN NO ETA FOR THE FIXING OF THIS PART. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL BEEN WAITING FOR TOYOTA/SCION TO FIX AIRBAG PROBLEM SINCE SUMMER OF 2016. LAST TIME I TALKED TO THEM THEY SAID POSS JAN. JUST CALLED AGAIN JAN 24,2017. NOW THEY SAY THEY CANNOT GIVEN A TIME FRAME. HOW LONG ARE WE SUPPOSE TO WAIT? FEEL LIKE ITS AN INCONVENIENCE BECAUSE NO ONE CAN RIDE W ME IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHICH SEEMS RIDICULOUS WHEN ITS ONLY ME AND ONE OTHER PERSON IN THE CAR.

IF IT CANNOT BE REPPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER THEY SHOULD PROVIDE A LOANER OR REPLACEMENT VEHICLE.

THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA HAD BEEN RECEIVED IN MAY OF 2016. IT STATED THAT RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR. IT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO DANGER OF INFLATOR RUPTURE DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS RUPTURE CAN HAPPENED ANY TIME DUE TO DEGRADATION OF THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING TEMPERATURES. SEVEN MONTHS LATER THERE STILL NO REMEDY HAD BEEN ISSUED. I MADE TWO PHONE CALLS TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER CENTER. FIRST TIME IN OCTOBER 2016 AND SECOND IN JANUARY 2017 AND STILL DID NOT GET ANY REASONABLE ANSWERS ON WHEN THIS RECALL WOULD BE FIXED FOR OUR VEHICLE. OUR FAMILY JUST AS MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING EXTREME INCONVENIENCE DUE TO THIS RECALL AND TOYOTA HAS NOT SHOWED ANY EMPATHY AND/OR ABILITY OF TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT TAKES A VERY LONG AND UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.

I RECEIVE A RECALL LETTER FOR MY AIR BAG. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT FIVE MONTHS A GO AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR TOYOTA TO SEND ME A NOTIFICATION. I HAVE NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATION FROM THEM. I THINK THAT FIVE MONTH TO WAIT FOR THEM TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. RECALL DATE: MAY 23, 2016. AS OF DEC. 30, 2016, MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS CONDITION.
