Takata recall. My vehicle has an active recall according to airbagrecall.com and has since January of 2017, but Toyota still hasn't come up with a remedy (also per the website). I received notification that takata's bankruptcy proceedings require that any claims be filed before December 27, 2017. Does this mean I should be going to replace the airbag, and counting on getting reimbursed? airbagrecall.com tells me to contact a Toyota dealer, which I plan to do, but the lack of clear instructions that has persisted for months is not acceptable.
Takata recall: The defective airbag issue has been known for multiple years yet no dealership is able to replace/repair the airbags I am told because the manufacturer has not made the parts yet. Also, I cannot find any information online or through a dealership that indicates when such parts might be made and the service scheduled. I continue to receive notices in the mail that this is a dangerous defect and could potentially cause serious harm or death. My 16 year old son drives this vehicle. I would like the situation remedied as soon as possible.
The remedy is still unavailable. I realize that these recalls and fixes are not an easy task, however, I feel that this amount of time is a bit much and has turned into more than just a slight inconvenience. It was recommended that I do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the passenger seat so I have not been able to use my car for the intended Transport I purchased it for (still paying every month for). It has been ten months now since the initial notice and this is very frustrating. I've even considered trading my car in but I really do love my car, I would just like to be able to use it for my intended purpose, safely. When will this fix be available and how long will it take to fix?

Takata recall - I've been contacting my local Toyota dealer since the first recall notice in January and they still say the part is not available. I'm running out of time to get this fixed.
I have been trying to get my airbag replaced ever since the initial recall was issued in January 2017. It is now almost 10 months later, and Toyota is still unable to fix the issue. The current status (as of October 25th, 2017) is: "Toyota is currently preparing the remedy for this condition and will provide additional information as it becomes available. The remedy, when available, will consist of the replacement of the airbag inflator or the airbag assembly, depending on the vehicle model." Is this ever going to get fixed?

Takata recall. I received a safety recall notice (interim notice) from Toyota in January 2017. As of October 24, 2017, there is still no remedy to repair my air bags. I went to the Toyota recall website and it mentioned that they are still working on a remedy for the defective air bags. There is no expected date of resolution. 10 months is way too long to figure out how remedy a defect. At this time, I'm still driving a car that Toyota says is potentially deadly but they can't or won't do anything about it.
