“Takata recall - it has been almost a year since the takata recall was initiated for my 2010 4RUNNER. Toyota states that I should not operate my vehicle with anybody in the passenger front seat. This is quite unacceptable! Toyota should be required to provide a remedy for this extremely dangerous recall asap!”
NHTSA complaint #10965796, filed 2017-03, 75,000 miles“Takata recall I was notified on june 9, 2016 that it could be dangerous to ride in the passenger seat of my SUV. I have contacted Toyota corporate and the local Toyota dealership regarding this matter. My SUV in which I should be able to carry 5 passengers safely will only carry 4 safely. When can I expect this to be repaired. Why has this not been addressed? I do not want to wait until an incident happens.”
NHTSA complaint #10958422, filed 2017-03, 60,000 miles“The recall for takata airbags issued may 2016 goes unremidied as I have to continue to travel for work across multiple zones with high humidity. The suggestion to have no front passenger is ludicrous and has deemed my vehicle unfit for its purpose. In the event of rupture, metal fragments may/will pass through the airbag, striking the occupant and result in injury or death. Let's think about that for a moment as you drive you family members home.”
NHTSA complaint #10944164, filed 2017-01, 135,000 miles“Takata recall. I have received notification of the fact that the airbag in my vehicle is under a recall and have been asked not to use the vehicle until the faulty device has been replaced. I don't have another vehicle so I am forced to use my vehicle. The manufacturer has not contacted me with any remedy. In the mean time I am carefully driving my vehicle. I would like to know what the timetable of a replacement is or at least be kept updated of the manufacturers schedule.”
NHTSA complaint #10928375, filed 2016-11, 70,200 miles“Passenger side takata airbag inflator (zone a) recall not yet replaced. I live in houston, texas; one of the most humid places on earth. How soon may I plan on this inflator being replaced?”
