Brought car in for airbag safety recall. Was told it was completed. After this received another recall mailing for the same problem. Called the Toyota recall resolution team number to verify. Was told that a temporary airbag was installed and that I needed to have the good one reinstalled when they got them in. She called the dealer to set up an appointment then told me that it was taken care of and a new airbag was not needed. And stated that she was confused. And that I needed to go back to the dealer to get a written statement that the work was done. I noticed and explained that it looks like a substitute was made and the receipt says : 'bag 0.8. 2007-2009 yaris hatchback 2007-2009 yaris sedan'. so it looks like a temporary substitute was made and that I was not informed. I said that if they give written documentation that the repair was made it makes it legally their responsibility but this would be after the fact if a problem or fatality would occur and not solve the issue of assuring that a proper airbag had been installed. Can you give clarification and suggested follow up (possibly third party) to guarantee safety?

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2012 Toyota Sienna. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 17V006000 (air bags) and 16V858000 (structure). The contact was unable to have the vehicle repaired because he was on active duty out of the country and the unknown italian dealer was unable to assist. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The unknown italian dealer was contacted and refused to perform the repair because their system was not optimized for recalls. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and did not assist. The contact was informed that the manufacturer did not condone taking the american made vehicle overseas with safety defects. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

"takada recall" I am writing because my takada airbags have been under recall for an extended period of time. Every single attempt (multiple attempts) have gone unreturned, despite the fact that I have called 888-546-1750 on multiple occasions! because this recall as the potential to cause either injury or death, I would think it would be in takada, Toyota and my best interest to get back to me. I am very dissatisfied with the recall and very dissatisfied with how the Toyota recall team has not contacted me. There is a second recall on the doors for the Toyota Sienna. Because I cannot get a hold of the recall team, I can also not schedule an appointment to get this recall addressed in my vehicle. This is unexcusable!

Making a right hand turn and I believe the truck in front of me lost the trailer hitch. I was only traveling about 15 mph. Drove over a trailer hitch in the road and all the airbags deployed, causing a violent stop to the van and injuries and shock to my daughter and myself

Takata recall. It has been almost a year and half since Toyota informed me that I shouldn't allow anyone to ride in the front seat of my van. You can imagine the inconvenience this has caused!!! now they say there is a solution but the Toyota dealers claim they don't have the air bags and they don't know when they will get them. My family is not safe in my vehicle. How long should I have to deal with their incompetence and disregard for the safety of my family?
