Takata inflators hello I am a mother of a three year old child and I have been driving my child around in this vehicle for over a year knowing there's a dangerous recall. I have gotten nowhere with any Toyota place because they never have the parts and are waiting for them. This problem could be potentially fatal and it upsets me greatly that I can't get it fixed and having my child in this small car with this huge issue. Please help me to this fixed!
Yesterday, February 27, I received a recall notice from Toyota for takata air bags. This is an important safety recall appears in red ink on the notice. My car is a Toyota Yaris sedan, 2008, VIN [xxx]. I immediately called the local Toyota store, kendall Toyota, to make an appointment for the repair. I was told that Toyota doesn't yet have a fix for the problem and that I should await further word. Toyota's response shows egregious disregard for my safety. Also, if Toyota has known of the problem since my car was manufactured nine years ago, then the unavailability of a fix in 2017 signals almost unbelievable incompetence in the organization. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Takata recall...I received this safety recall over six months ago. Once again I am waiting too long for a remedy to become available. This is not fair to vehicle owners. We can't even feel safe in our own cars nowadays. No sooner than one recall is completed, another one pops up. It's not right to ask us to squeeze our passengers into the back seat until Toyota gets off their behinds and help us. Please give Toyota a hugh push!
Takata recall, manufacturer stated they have no replacement available and no idea when one may be available in the near future for at least half a year. Very dangerous risk for me as I drive a lot.
Takata recall-I was notified of the recall back in June of this year and still no action has been taken to repair my auto. Since that time, I have not been able to carry passengers in my front passenger seat severely impacting my use of my vehicle.

Takata recall my car was recalled May 23, 2016. The documentation we received advised to not have anyone use the front passenger seat since it is the front passenger airbag that is currently under recall. It is now October 28, 2016 and there is still no fix or timeline for the fix available even though I am considered in the 1st wave of fixes where is says take immediate action. How am I supposed to take immediate action if after 5 months there is still no fix available" I contacted the dealership yesterday and they have not heard anything on a timeline either. I am unable to use my vehicle to Transport my entire family without the use of the front passenger seat. How long are we expected to have half a car? I must use this car to Transport a toddler. How can I be assured that even with no front passenger that she will be safe in her carseat in the backseat? I have read where even the the airbag is not on, the inflator could still have issues in a collision. Is this information correct" I am worried for the safety of my family but I cannot afford a different vehicle at this time, not like anyone would take it as a trade in even if I could afford it.
