We were hit head on in a collision on 5/5/2017 and the airbags did not deploy. The front and side bags of the other vehicle deployed. The vehicle we were in did not. It was unprovable but the airbags didn't deploy. We were driving at approximately 60 mph on a 4 lane highway.

Takata recall: We were notified of the recall for the air bag on our 2011 4runner over a year ago. We have inquired and opened an issue for it with the dealership, but are being told that the part is still not available. We are very frustrated, as this is the primary vehicle we use when commuting and going on trips, but cannot do so. We were offered a rental, but I am concerned with leaving our vehicle on the dealership lot. We received a letter in the mail yesterday, stating that the company who makes the air bags, takata, has filed for bankruptcy in the us. We are stuck N a rock and a hard place now and do not know what to do. We have had to drive the vehicle to the dealer on several occasions, just to get loaner vehicles for a few day trips we have done. This has become a huge inconvenience and we want the issue resolved.

Takata recall I have owned my vehicle since I bought it in 2011 and been taking it to allen Toyota in gulfport, ms for routine maintenance. Last week, at the 120,000 mile oil change the dealership informed me that there was a recall on the airbags. I called Toyota hq and they informed me that the recall was issued in May 2016. I asked why I had not been informed previously, since. (I have not changed addresses). Jade, the Toyota rep said that the dealership probably did not inform me because they may not have had a replacement part. She also so that it was the NHTSA's responsibility to inform me of the recall. I find the former reason a poor excuse since it resulted in me and my family driving in an unsafe vehicle for over a year. If the latter reason is true, I would like to know why NHTSA did not send me a recall notice. Thank you for any investigation, explanation and formal complaint notice to Toyota.

Takata recall - just got off the phone with the local dealer and they said the part to fix the recall take about 6 to 8 weeks to arrive. They gave me an appointment for November 20. I think that is a really long time.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2011 Toyota 4runner. The contact received several notifications of a manufacturer recall concerning the air bags and stated that the remedy and parts were not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The contact called three different dealers (chuck patterson Toyota, (530) 895-1771), (yuba city Toyota, 530-212-6116), and (roseville Toyota, (800) 473-3133). None of the dealers provided a specific date for when the part would become available. The contact was unable to determine when the vehicle would be repaired. The manufacturer could not provide an estimated date for when the contact's vehicle would receive the recall repair. The manufacturer stated that they would follow up within 48 hours concerning a loaner vehicle, but never did. The contact had been waiting for a repair for more than a year. The contact was not experiencing a failure. The VIN was not available.

Tamara recall: I have looked it up and found that my vehicle has takata air bags, yet there is no recall notification. From what I have researched the deployment of the bags could cause serious injury or possibly death. In my opinion a recall should be implemented asap
