Takata recall: I have been advised not to use this vehicle by the vehicle manufacturer. I have also been advised that the air bag manufacturer may soon not be able to pay. His has gone on too long; I cannot sell the vehicle. The airbags need to be replaced or I should be compensated for the cost of the vehicle.
I just called tom wood Toyota in indianapolis on lafayette road and they are saying the manufacturer hasn't released the remedy on the takata airbag and won't do so until December
Takata recall local dealer still does not have replacement parts. Their only suggestion is to not have anyone sit in the passenger seat. They have no idea when parts will be available, yet new cars are being produced, with [supposedly good inflators]. apparently profit comes before safety.
Today is October 23, 2017. I received notice of a defective airbag inflator months ago, and immediately notified the Toyota dealer, but am still waiting for repairs. I have just today received notice of the tk holdings bankruptcy case, with a deadline for filing claims of December 27, 2017. I can drive my car, but I cannot allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat. I know there is a priority system for repairs. How does the bankruptcy filing affect the repair priority?

Takata recall- I've already had the drivers side airbag replaced. Now I was notified several months ago that the passenger side airbag needs repaired. Do not let anyone ride in that seat until repairs have been made. This is very difficult since I travel with friends and have to ask grown adults to ride in the back seat to be safe. How long is making a "fix" for this airbag going to take"? I know takata is being sued and other legal actions are being taken against them. I as an owner of this car since 2010 am angry. Please let owners know that something is at least in the works or should I sell a defective car??"
The air bags were part of recall and when I called was told there was no solution to the problem. My car was involved in accident on Oct 7th and was totaled and the air bags never went off despite the driver hitting their head right where the side air bag was.....updated 11/03/17 updated 9/12/18

Toyota has issue a "important safety recall" for my 2009 Corolla in January 2017. In the notice, Toyota recommends not carrying passengers in the front seat as there is a risk of injury or even death if its faulty takata airbag is deployed. It's been nine months since Toyota detected this problem. I called my Toyota dealer in bethesda, md, and was informed that a remedy is still not available. Not being able to carry a passenger in the front seat is a big inconvenience. I need a solution for this problem. I would appreciate NHTSA's guidance on how to deal with this situation. Can I request Toyota to replace my vehicle or buy my vehicle back" should I have the faulty airbag replaced elsewhere and request Toyota to cover the expense" thank you in advance for any guidance/assistance you can provide.
