2009 SCION XB Complaints

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO OF THE AIRBAG RECALL, BUT THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THIS IS CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT INCONVENIENCE TO ME, AS I AM UNABLE TO CARRY PASSENGERS IN MY FRONT SEAT. I AM ALSO UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST TAKATA BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN ELIGIBLE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REPAIRED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 SCION XB. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V006000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE (INTERIM NOTICE) OVER A YEAR AGO. CONTACTED TOYOTA 3/16, AND AGAIN 8/17 AND WAS TOLD "PARTS NOT AVAILABLE" FOR REPAIR. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR TOYOTA TO CORRECT A DANGEROUS RECALL?

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL OF MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS. THE ADVICE IN THE LETTER IS TO NOT ALLOW ANY OCCUPANTS IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 7 MONTHS AND THERE IS STILL NOT A REMEDY AVAILABLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE - I NEED MY CAR FIXED AND SAFE!

TAKATA INFLATORS AND WINDOW RECALL. MY COMPLAINT IS I HAVE TWO ACTIVE RECALLS ON MY SCION XB, ONE DATING BACK TO 2015, WITH SCION/TOYOTA NOT BEING ABLE TO FIX EITHER RECALL. IN JANUARY 2017 I GOT A LETTER ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THAT STATED DO NOT LET ANYONE RIDE IN PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS A FAMILY CAR, MY ONLY FAMILY CAR, I CANNOT INDEFINETLY NOT HAVE PASSANGERS IN MY CAR. THE 2015 RECALL INVOLVES A WINDOW ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE. THE WINDOWS WORK BUT SQUEAKS AND HAS RUB MARKS ON THE GLASS. TOYOTA HAS HAD AMPLE TIME TO FIX BOTH ISSUES. HOW LONG HAS THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM BEEN? SEVERAL YEARS AT LEAST AND NOW THE AIRBAG MANUFACTURER HAS GONE BANKRUPT. I PAID FOR A FULLY FUNCTIONING CAR YET I CAN'T PUT ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT?!?!
