Manufacturer and dealership is not responsive in trying to remedy the air bag issue. I'm receiving multiple reminders to get my vehicle fixed for the takata air bag recalls. I have 2 outstanding issues. I called autonation Toyota in hayward, ca. They said they'd call me back as they had to order the parts. Almost 2 months later, I called to follow-up as they never called me back. They then told me that it shows in their records that they serviced my vehicle and remedied the issue. If you look at the online records, it shows that the 2 recalls are still unremedied. Also, I would know if I brought my vehicle in for the repair. I talked to a person named Julian at the dealership.

Air bag recall. Alan jay Toyota removed original air bag because of recall then replace air gab with a used salvage air bag. After I complained to manager, they tried to clean up air bag cover so it would match dash. They couldn't get clean or remove the sticky tacky substance on cover. They said it was a new air bag and that was the way they come or must of gotten dirty installing. I said I don't believe that explanation so they said they would order a new air bag. On a follow up call to get new air bag replacement they say now they want to clean it up again and paint to match dash color. The photos are after they cleaned air bag cover and said it was brand new. I don't feel this is the way the air bag recall was intended so therefore I am complaining.

Takata recall - the recall date was 2 February 2016. I received notification in the mail on 3 March 2016. It is now the middle of December 2016 and still no fix. Very unhappy with the time element.
Takata recall--we have not received replacement parts for recall of side curtain air bags. We have been very distressed regarding the takata bags containing shrapnel-like substances & told replacement bag in passenger side (that was already replaced once) is also defective. We are very concerned as we Transport grandchildren in this vehicle. This vehicle is a danger to our family & we want to know when it will be safe. There was also a recall on the undercarriage rusting. We got the spray done on that. When will this vehicle be safe? it has been reliable, just very stressful regarding saftey issues.
"takata recall" on or around August 23, 2016 I called a toll free phone number either off a recall notification flyer I received in the mail or from a voice message on our home phone regarding the passenger airbag inflator on my 2005 Toyota Tundra truck. They asked where I wanted my vehicle fixed and I chose wilde Toyota (3225 S 108th St, West allis, wi) since that is where I bought the truck from and have done a variety of repairs on this and other vehicles. The operator called their service department and I was notified the part would need to be ordered. I wasn't given any time frame, but I assumed it couldn't take long. I called wilde Toyota today (September 13, 2016), and I was informed it was ordered as promised, but it would take 3 months!! I was never notified of this. I was told I shouldn't have someone in the front passenger seat. How does Toyota expect a vehicle to be used for 3 months without allowing a passenger in the front seat. I don't understand why they wouldn't have an inventory on hand to handle quick turnaround. I understand it could be hard to manage, but 3 months is ridiculous.

Front passenger air bag and curtain sheild (csa) airbag control module NHTSA recall:16V-065. No complications as of today. 8/15/2015 I received a recall notice for front passenger air back and notice said not to use front passenger seat and parts not available that a second notice would be sent when part was available I have heard nothing until today 3/12/2016 I received a recall for the curtain sheild airbag (csa) airbag control module and this part is not available I will receive a second notice when it is. I looked up the recalls and noticed the first part is available but have not been notified by Toyota so I called the vacaville dealer that sold me the truck and works on it to find out why I was not notified and was told they would call me right back in 5 min. I'm still waiting. Toyota and the dealerships need to get moving on these parts and installations now. The thing I'm more worried about now is that when they do replace the bags they are going to mess something else up or pretend to do it and keep the vehicle for days as I have experienced in the past even with an appointment and something as simple as replacing the battery or even an oil change I've had to return because they put the oil filter in wrong and leaked not only did I have to drive back but had to wait for 2 more hours at the end of the line spent a total of 4 hours waiting for oil change a return visit to fix what was not done right and then 1/2 hour of waiting when truck was done because no one came to let me know like they said. I found my truck in the parking lot and had to find someone to find my paper work and see that it was done another 20 min.
