TAKATA RECALL. I WAS INFORMED BY TOYOTA ON 8/10/15 ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE RECALL FIXED ON MY CAR UNTIL 4/11/16 DUE TO THE "UNAVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS." I HAD TO USE THE CAR FOR 8 MONTHS WITHOUT LETTING ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT! I WAS NOT ABLE TO CAR POOL TO WORK AND THIS REALLY PUT A DAMPER ON MY ABILITY TO REASONABLY TRANSPORT MY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS. THE TIME IT TOOK TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!

TAKATA INFLATOR: RECEIVED LETTER RECOMMENDING URGENT SAFETY RECALL. PARTS WERE SUPPOSEDLY ORDERED 3/21/16. AS OF TODAY, 4/8/16, PARTS ARE "BACKORDER" WITH NO TIMEFRAME. SPOKE TO "JENNIFER" AT TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I FREQUENTLY HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR, AS I TAKE FRIENDS TO DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS. PLEASE ADVISE....BY THE WAY, THE LETTER STATES THAT TOYOTA HAS THE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR MY GEOGRAPHIC REGION. SO WHY ARE THE PARTS NOT AVAILABLE? I CALLED AS SOON AS I RECEIVED THE LETTER.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V285000 (AIR BAGS).

TAKATA RECALL. WE GOT A NOTICE AFTER I WAS TOLD IN 2014 THE COROLLA WE HAVE WAS NOT IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGHT I GAVE THE VIN? SINCE THE NOTICE OVER NINE MONTHS AGO WE HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM TOYOTA TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED. MY CO-WORKED HAS HAD HER CAR (COROLLA) REPAIRED? TOYOTA HAS TOLD US TO NOT RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSANGER SEAT UNTIL THIS IS REPAIRED YET CANNOT TELL US WHEN THS IS TO HAPPEN? I AM AVETERAN AND DO NOT LIKE DRIVING A GRENADE EACH TIME I AM ON THE ROAD!
