Takata recall. I received a recall letter in January explaining that I need my front passenger airbag inflator (zone a) to be replaced. It is now may and there is still not a solution. I am writing this complaint because the dealer or Toyota has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable about of time. I have gone five months without allowing someone in my front seat and that is an absolutely ridiculous amount of time. This solution needs to be fixed or a continuous update about the matter is needed.

Takata recall: I am writing regarding the timeframe which Toyota has given for repair of my airbag. After receiving the notice in February 2017 that my vehicle was part of the recall, Toyota informed me that I would not have the airbag repaired until December 2017. Additionally, when I contacted Toyota about the replacement airbag or repair, I was told the parts will not be available until December 2017 but that I should not have anyone ride in my front seat until after the airbag was replaced/repaired. I feel this is an inconvenience particularly since I have to make payments on my vehicle that I am unable to fully use and enjoy. Thankfully, I have not been involved in any accidents but as the driver I am very concerned about my safety as well.
Takata recall - my complaint involves Toyota's timeline for repairing the airbag issue in my 2012 Corolla. According to their website my car falls in phase 4 and geographically I live in zone 3, which isn't supposed to start til after Jan 2019. Toyota's temporary solution was to not have anyone ride in the front passenger seat. That's kind of an impossible solution for their 2+ year timeline. Their status chart shows they plan to have a solution ready by Dec 2017 for the 2012 Corolla, but they will only be installing it in cars in zone a at that time. They should be required to install the solution in all cars at the same time. If the fix exists why are they being allowed to ignore some consumers for over a year and leave them with a defective car. This doesn't seem safe to me. The NHTSA reasoning behind the zones seems a little weak. What if a consumer lived in a zone 1 state for 4-5 years and moved to a zone 3 state more recently, shouldn't their car more affected by the propellant degradation then a car that had been in zone 3 state it's whole life. Of course the opposite could be true too. People move around. Not sure if anyone there has ever lived in co, but the temp can go from 70 to snowing and freezing within a day, and back to 70 a day later. Not sure what you guys consider high temperature cycling, but that is more extreme then when I lived in fl.

Takata recall - after I called the dealership and looked on the website there will be no remedy until Dec. 2017. So, I am not able to fully use my vehicle, but more importantly the airbag issue is dangerous for me as the driver, if the passenger airbag deploys. The mental fragments can fly and hit me or anyone in my back sit! this is A6 from the recall website part of the answer-further, NHTSA has concluded that the non-desiccated frontal takata airbag inflators do not pose an unreasonable risk to safety until they reach a certain level of propellant degradation, which is the result of time, temperature and environmental moisture, which depends on the vehicle's location. -how is Toyota 100% confident that this airbag will not deploy when someone is not sitting in the front seat" - there is unknown risk involved according to A6. -how can they guarantee fragments will not go flying and potential harm me or a passenger in the back seat " I drive my car to work almost 2 to 3 times a week that is an hour and 15mins away and I do not feel comfortable driving this car and waiting until Dec for a remedy and I am paying for a car that I don't have a full usage of!! I think it is unreasonable and not safe to wait until then!
