Takata recall--I have tried repeatedly to schedule an appointment with a Toyota dealership to have my airbag replaced. I can never get an answer. I have replied several times to the Toyota safety recall resolution team at 1-888-312-5994. They also have not been able to get an answer and they've advised me to call the dealerships directly. The last attempts were made this morning and the resolution team suggested I just drive to the dealership to make my appointment since they will not answer the phone. Why is this so inconvenient" why can't Toyota dealerships answer phones to make appointments and make these changes? how can I get this repair done in a timely and convenient fashion"

Takata recall I'm not confident that Toyota is adequately solving the airbag issue as I've received multiple recalls for the same or similar issues. During the initial recall I discussed with Toyota that they should replace the airbags if there is any concern over quality. They did not do that and stated that after inspection I was not affected. Since then I've received more recalls for the same issue. I'm concerned about my safety and the resale value of my car, both of which Toyota has put at serious risk. I do not believe they are taking this issue seriously nor attempting to solve it in a timely and proper manner.

I have went back to the dealership on every recall, in fact at one call recall they said I needed a clock spring that shorted out. My next visit they said I need a clock spring until I showed them the invoice for $493.35 from the last visit on 5-2-2015 they said I needed a computer that is back ordered. Still waiting!
