I was notified in March that my car had a bad airbag and I would be notified when it would be replaced. I just talked to my dealer and they have no idea when it will get done. That seems un acceptable to me that we have 3/4 of a car til it gets replaced. Shouldn't there be a timetable on recalls? thank you.

While stopped at a red light, the driver side airbag in my 2003 Toyota matrix deployed striking me in the head/chest area. Stunned and disoriented, I didn't realize what had happened until a good samaritan helped me out of the car. She was telling me to exit the car, however, my seatbelt had retracted and locked with such tension, that I was barely able to reach across and press the release button. After the driver side airbag deployed the passenger airbag deployed as well, causing damage to the windshield. There was one or two subsequent explosions - I am unsure what those noises were. I was able to put the car in park and exit the vehicle. A police officer was nearby and heard the explosion and came over to check on the situation. He tried turning the car off, but the horn was stuck and continued to honk - he then decided to turn the vehicle back on, which stopped the honking of the horn. The car was still able to be driven and an officer drove the car across the street to a local Toyota dealership. My car still sits in the lot where Toyota has performed inspections, diagnostic tests, downloaded data and compiled a report (of which I have not received a copy of) that has been sent to Toyota legal. Ironically, I received a recall in the mail one week after the incident for an SRS / ECU recall.

I can not get a straight answer from Toyota, both my local dealer and the corporate office regarding a passenger air bag recall (front passenger airbag inflator module). It's been almost a full year, and no one can tell me when this repair will be done. The last letter I received (Feb. 3, 2015) from Toyota, said they are working on states with high humidity first. Their solution, is not to drive the vehicle and use public transportation, and rent a vehicle. This is not a solution. I live in Massachusetts, and it gets pretty humid during the summer months. I think Toyota thinks the longer they wait the fewer recalls they will have to perform as the vehicles are getting older and older.
