I have been advised that there is an important safety recall regarding the airbags in my Toyota 4runner. Toyota does not have a remedy yet, but has advised me that I should not have a passenger in my front seat. This is not a realistic option. Either Toyota makes this remedy available in 14 days, or provides me a loaner car until the remedy is available. Otherwise, I consider Toyota fully liable for any incidents from an airbag inflating improperly and causing damage to anyone in the car.

Takata recall...my dealer is not able to resolve this in a timely manner. I am asking for the airbag to be disabled as I need the front seat for family members and for work. At work, my vehicle is utilized for police operations. This defect leaves me with only three seats (three passengers). This is not possible for my daily driving, and for my work responsibilities. If this is not possible, then I am asking for a rental vehicle until airbag is replaced.

Takata recall I received a recall in the mail this past week to no longer drive with a passenger in the front until a remedy becomes available. When I called the dealership to find out when I could replace my passenger side airbag they said it could be months from now before the part is available. I said that is not feasible for me to not take a passenger in my SUV for months! I was told I could possibly rent a car for 4 days at a time only if I had a very valid reason to rent it. Also I would need to come back every 4 days with another valid reason to continue to obtain a rental vehicle. This is absolutely unacceptable and unreasonable! especially since Toyota does not have an eta of when the replacement part will become available.

Takata recall I believe the Toyota action plan is negligent in response to a known defect with potentially fatal consequences. As I have been notified by letter, my vehicle is equipped with the defective inflators and located in the region of most detrimental climate. The vehicle has also been in service long enough to invoke the known safety concern. Both the problem and solution are known (unit replacement) yet Toyota has no *current* schedule or recall action to replace the airbags. This is clearly a financial decision, not a safety decision nor an engineering decision. There is no justifiable reason to delay this process. The recommended interim solution (between now and an unspecified date) is to only operate the vehicle without a front seat passenger-- this is not a solution, as it leaves the vehicle non-functional to its primary purpose as a multi-passenger conveyance. This also neglects the fact that a high velocity projectile can cause great damage or injury whether a passenger is present or not. As a citizen and customer, I would like to formally file a complaint that the delayed recall process is completely unacceptable.

Takata recall. On July 11, 2016 we received a recall letter from Toyota regarding the need to replace the passenger side airbag. Our local Toyota dealer informed us they do not have any replacement parts a this time and do not know when they will be available. We contact Toyota corporate and they also stated they did not have any parts available and did not have an estimated time when parts will be available. The recall letter we received stated that we should not drive the vehicle or at least if we drive it there should not be anyone in the front passenger seat. Leaving the vehicle non-operational is not an option, nor is it reasonable to leave the front passenger seat empty. Toyota states that supplying us with a loaner vehicle is not an option unless we want to pay for it on our own. With no time frame for when parts might be available for repairs we are left with driving the vehicle with an known safety issue and no reasonable expectation of completing the repairs.

An interim recall notice recommends no occupants in the front passenger seat due to possible airbag inflator rupture resulting in serious injury or death. That is unreasonable for the use of the vehicle without a recall date confirmation. The notice does not provide a date when the vehicle will be recalled for repair. We live in the highest risk zone C and my wife is afraid to drive the vehicle.

My wife was at a red light waiting for the light to change when she was hit on the driver side front fender and tire area. No air bag deployed there is over 8,000 dollars in damages the other driver was moving 35+ mph at impact so now along with the whiplash and shoulder bruises and seat belts cuts there mental damage she feel the vehicle is not safe and is afraid to drive it when repaired in closing I feel at the speed of travel on impact the air bag should have deployed.
