“Recall came out on may 23, 2016. Today is january 17, 2017. This is nearly a year and their idea of a fix is to have no one ride in the passenger seat? This is totally ridiculous. I did not buy a luxury car so that no one could ride in the car. Just had the car at the dealership and they didn't even tell me there was a recall on it or that I shouldn't have anyone riding in the passenger seat. Found out by checking for recalls on the NHTSA site.”
NHTSA complaint #10945641, filed 2017-01“Takata recall. Recall has been open since may 23, 2016. This is almost a year with no repair available. Honda has parts for their cars, why doesn't toyota? Telling me I can't have a passenger in my car is not a fix.”
NHTSA complaint #10972213, filed 2017-04“Takata recall: to date, our passenger airbag has not been replaced in our vehicle. This issue was first raised this summer, over 6 months ago. I've repeatedly requested assistance from our dealership and they do not have any updated information. We need to be able to utilize our front passenger seat but are reluctant to do so since the passenger air bag could cause death in an accident. It is completely unacceptable that a remedy has not been provided for this deadly part in our vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10936228, filed 2016-12“Takata recall I received a recall for this issue may 2016. I have checked a number of times since when this will be remedied. Most recently august 2017. Each time I am told there is not yet a remedy for my vehicle though I have been told possibly sept-oct 2017. The recall states that significant degradation may occur between 6-9 years after put in service. My vehicle has now been in service 7yrs 6 months. I have not asked for a loaner, but feel this may be my only recourse as I feel that a timely manner has come and gone. …”
NHTSA complaint #11018945, filed 2017-08“Takata recall. The contact owns a 2011 Lexus GX460. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v340000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue.”
