I am very concerned that Honda has resolved the airbag issue in my 2003 vehicle in a very timely fashion and Toyota has not. In addition I am incurring added carpool costs of not using the passenger side seat due to being advised by Toyota not to have passengers in the front passenger seat.

Today, I received a recall notice on this car for the front passenger airbag inflator model. The notice said that no remedy was yet available. I called the Toyota dealer and they verified this and said they did not know when a remedy would be available. The notice advises that nobody should sit on the passenger side of the car until the inflator module is replaced. Injuries and death have occurred when the airbag improperly deploys. This makes it difficult for my wife and I to drive the car without fear for our safety, my other car is a 2004 Honda civic which has also been recalled for, first, the passenger side airbag inflator module and, then, for the airbag inflator module on the driver's side. I've been waiting 4 months for the dealer to get the replacement parts for the driver's side, since the airbags for both cars seem to have been manufactured by takata, it seems to me likely that the Toyota will also, some day, be recalled again for the front airbag inflator module. I am complaining because it seems to me obvious that I have been driving 2 unsafe cars since the time I purchased them. Considering the danger of injury or death, it does not seem to me that the recalls are not being handled by Toyota or Honda in a timely manner with proper concern for the safety of the drivers and passengers of these cars. Honda did finally respond by replacing the passenger side module in April of this year, at the same time telling me I would have to wait indefinitely to replace the driver's side module. Finally, I am scheduled to have the driver's side replaced on Sept. 3. Toyota can give me no date for the replacement of the passengers side and assures me that the driver's side is ok. I am doubtful.

I am writing this complaint because my car is being recalled due to defective front passenger air bag. The dealer and official Toyota website cannot tell me when this defect can be repaired. My car is not the 1st wave of recalls. I am planning on moving long distance in the next few months to Colorado, so can I get my car fixed at a Toyota dealer there for free? I didn't see anything on the websites that included this question. Please let me know. By the way, I am filing an official complaint that the information regarding timing for the fixes is not available.

Dear NHTSA, today we received an interim recall notice on our 2007 Toyota Corolla instructing us not to drive the car with a front passenger. I contacted Toyota to explain that we purchased this car specifically for my 16 year old daughter who currently has her Ohio temporary drivers license. Per this interim letter, Toyota is telling us that she cannot drive this car we purchased specifically for her. Ohio temporary driver licenses require a licensed front passenger. I was given Toyota case #1508103451 by the Toyota representative. I requested one of the initial recall repair appointments available. The Toyota representative refused, and advised me to call a local Toyota dealership to get on an initial call back list. I called metro Toyota in cleveland, Ohio at 888.439.0914. The service representative advised me that they are not making appointments or taking phone numbers for Toyota call back appointments. The metro Toyota service representative also advised it may be two months to two years before they receive parts for the takata passenger side airbag recall replacements. I am extremely disappointed in both Toyota corporate usa and metro Toyota. Both parties appeared to be unconcerned with rendering my 2007 Corolla useless for my daughter to drive for possibly two years. I believe Toyota needs to step to the plate and offer us a replacement vehicle in safe non-recall condition in exchange for our 2007 Corolla if they cannot provide us with a timely recall repair. My daughter needs a vehicle to drive. Best regards.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Corolla. While traveling during inclement weather and making a turn, the vehicle spun out of control and crashed into a ditch. The contact, who was pregnant at the time, sustained whiplash and two herniated discs in the back that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who provided body repairs but no diagnosis to explain the air bag failure. The contact experienced a second crash while at a stop light. Another vehicle crashed into the drivers side of the contact's vehicle and the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was repaired by a repair shop for the body repairs, but the air bag failure was not diagnosed. A police report was filed.

We received a recall notice on our Corolla today stating that the air bag may deploy and cause the inflator to rupture, potentially causing serious injury or death to the vehicle occupants. However, according to the recall, we do not live in a priority geographic location to receive an immediate repair and will have to wait until enough parts are available. Toyota's suggestion in the meantime is to have no one to sit in the passenger seat. We have been advised to file a complaint if we believe that Toyota has failed to remedy that effect within a reasonable time. Our family does not own an additional vehicle that will accommodate our family, so we feel this is an unreasonable alternative for Toyota to offer (to merely have someone not sit in the passenger's seat.) we are dumbfounded that Toyota would send a recall advising us of this potentially life threatening issue with no solution for their customers all over the country. We are now forced to potentially endanger the life of someone in our family as we have no other vehicle that will fit our family.
