Takata recall we received the recall notice over 14 months ago and a remedy has not yet been made available. The rental car offered until the remedy was available did not match the type and standard of the vehicle affected or its safgety equipment -- no problem with airbag yet but wondering if it only a matter of time

Takata recall. I have taken my vehicle in for an airbag replacement due to notification of recall on jen 16, 2017 and was told the remedy is not yet available. It is now roughly 8 months later and they still do not have a remedy ready for my vehicle. This is beyond unacceptable as they identify risk to passengers in the vehicle in the event of deployment. Each time I contact the dealer they simply state there is not remedy available at this point and just wait longer. My compliant is that this is well beyond a reasonable amount of time to make a customer wait for a defective product repair.

Takata recall. I've been waiting since May 2016 for a remedy. No remedy as of 9/5/17. This has become a one-seater car since no one can ride in the front passenger seat. Totally inexcusable.

Tamara recall. Our vehicle was recalled 15 months ago but Lexus carlsbad (ca) still has done nothing to replace the airbag. They suggested that we should allow no one to sit in the front passenger seat and that the driver would not be in danger. I believe this to be false. How long must we wait for the repairs"?"
