TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT IN MARCH 2015. TOYOTA SAYS THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYING ACCIDENTALLY. I DO NOT FEEL THAT TOYOTA IS TAKING MY SAFETY OR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY SERIOUSLY. THE RECALL I RECEIVED CLEARLY STATES THAT THEY KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM "REPLACEMENT OF THE SRS ECU IS NOW ALSO REQUIRED FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL TO BE COMPLETE," IT JUST SEEMS THAT THEY WON'T. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A CAR IN WHICH I AM NOT CONFIDENT. PLEASE MAKE TOYOTA EXECUTE THIS RECALL IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER.

2004 TOYOTA AVALON -RECEIVE A NOTICE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM(SRS) ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU). THE ORIGINAL "FIX" FOR THIS PROBLEM (DEEMED AN "URGENT SAFETY RECALL" BY TOYOTA) WAS ANNOUNCED IN MAR, 2014. IT WAS LATER FOUND THAT THIS "FIX" DID NOT DO THE JOB.A 2ND RECALL (DATED JAN 27TH, 2015)WAS ISSUED. TO DATE, THE RECALL HAS A STATUS OF "REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE". I CONSIDER THIS TO BE REPREHENSIBLE!! THE RECALL ID IS 15V043. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND I GET THE SAME RESPONSE.... "WE WILL CONTACT YOU WHEN A REMEDY IS AVAILABLE."
