"takata recall" we received our recall warning on the passenger airbag and the solution for now is not to sit in the passenger seat. We have called several times and have a case number (1609063378). We were told there is not current solution and there is not any information as to when the part(s) will be available. This is one of our main means of transportation and driving around like chauffeur and passenger is getting very tedious. We recently had death of our family and had to travel out of town in our Dodge truck. Only to find out upon returning home, the Dodge truck has a recall on the passenger airbag, too. Now, both vehicles are waiting for parts. When we contacted the Scion dealership, we were told that upon emergencies, we could possibly get a loaner for travel, which is very inconvenient. We want some answers, that is, when will a solution be found and how long is it going to take for the parts to get to the dealership. We both are senior citizens, have our medical issues and we do not need the stress of this issue.

Takata recall. There is no part available to fix my car. I requested a loaner car and was told that the local dealership in orlando would take my 2009 Scion and park it in an "unguarded unfenced lot" with no protection from the extreme fl heat and weather. In addition, the dealership would not start or service the motor for approx. 6 months (when the part "might" be available). If the motor/car is damaged, the dealership told me that they are not liable fix it. If the car is stolen, they are also not liable! these are unacceptable conditions. Toyota is not authentically offering a solution to this life threatening recall. First, there is no part available to fix it! then, Toyota knows that the consumer will not take a loaner under the conditions that their personal vehicle will be kept under. It's a scam! we the consumer are forced to drive cars that have recalls that killed several people by metal projectiles slicing throats and causing head and brain injuries! why is Toyota getting away with this?

Takata recall. Just received notice of takata recall, and according to Scion webpage, no remedy is available. Person I spoke to at Scion said replacement airbags are just now being manufactured, and no known date is available for replacement. In the meantime riders in the car are in danger.

1. defective air bag inflators manufactured my takata were installed when the vehicle was manufactured. Nothing has happened yet, however, the stability of the the air bags is unpredictable and puts passengers at risk until it is corrected. The inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to humidity and high temperature. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death. 2. a power window master switch may melt. The electrical contacts are not protected by necessary lubricant which could lead to a short circuit and an increase the risk of fire.

Traveling North on I-75 in independence twp, mi South of ortonville rd at 10:55am in a snow storm, driver used the passing lane to overtake a slow moving vehicle in the center lane. Accelerating to 70mph, driver began to merge back into center lane but encountered a heavy buildup of slush between lanes and began to loose traction. Vehicle started to veer to the right. Driver removed foot from the accelerator and turned wheel slightly to the left to correct the skid but the electronic stability control engaged and the vehicle immediately entered into a rapid 360 degree spin to the right. No other vehicle was struck. Driver recovered from the spin momentarily and car was facing northbound between the center and right lanes but still veering to the right. The front wheels contacted dry pavement while the rear wheels were on wet pavement causing the vehicle to make a sharp right turn head on into the guard rail at 60 mph. The guard rail gave way and the front end of the vehicle sustained heavy damage. However the vehicle rebounded and remained in the road way, sliding sideways and eventually spinning another 270 degrees after again striking the guard rail. The initial high speed impact with guard rail appears to have ignited the sodium azide as evidenced by a gunpowder like odor in the vehicle however no airbags deployed. Additionally, the seatbelt while properly fastened did not retract and restrain the driver. The seatbelt extended all the way out and remained in this position. This made it difficult to control the vehicle and caused the driver to impact the steering wheel when the guardrail was struck. This resulted in injury to the right side of the rib cage, with possible hairline fractures to the ribs, torn muscles, and bruising of the liver. Driver's head also impacted the ceiling. Upon second guardrail impact, driver's left arm impacted the steering wheel.

Vehicle driven by daughter. 45 mph road. Two (2) vehicles in front of her. 1st vehicle made an abrupt right turn, causing vehicle #2 to abruptly decrease (braking) speed, which cause vehicle #3 (Scion) driver to react quickly and brake. During braking, all four (4) wheels locked and vehicle skidded straight forward. Angle of skid shows both wheels sides were straight with an approximate two (2) to three (3) degree angle offset to the right; may be due from curvature of the road. Both skid marks were completely solid and both tracks were in a straight line. Upon front end impact with vehicle #2 in front of the Scion, the following issues are of concern: 1. front driver and front passenger airbags did not deploy. Not know if impact (deceleration) was high enough to activate. However, visual inspection of vertical sensor support beams (both left and right) are significantly displaced and bent. 2. seat belt restraint system (front - driver and passenger): The seat belt restraint system appeared not to function as designed. According to the driver and passenger, both were wearing their seat belts. Upon impact, the driver's lower body propelled forward and her knees impacted the lower dash assembly. Additionally, her upper body was propelled forward, the seat belt did not lock, and then braced herself with hands and arms to prevent her head from striking the steering wheel. Additionally, the right front passenger experience the same propelling of lower and upper body with out the seat belt locking. He also had to brace himself from striking the dash. Called Scion corporation headquarters on 14 September and opened a new case; stating exactly was stated above. Thank you for what your Agency does and any assistance you can provide.
