TAKATA RECALL TOYOTA IS NOT DOING ENOUGH TO EXPEDITE THE RECALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND IT'S STILL LISTED AS HAVING NO REMEDY AVAILABLE EVEN THOUGH I AM LISTED IN A PRIORITY ZONE A. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. NHTSA, PLEASE PRESSURE TOYOTA AND TAKATA INTO EXPEDITING THIS DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING RECALL FOR THE SAKE OF EVERYBODY'S SAFETY.

TAKATA RECALL. MY SCION XB IS MAIN CAR FOR USE WITH MY CHILDREN AND FAMILY. IT'S USED AS MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM SCHOOL. I WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL LAST YEAR AND STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ON WHEN THIS WILL GET FIXED. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M TRANSPORTING CHILDREN AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT USING THE PASSENGER SIDE SINCE ALL SEATS ARE BEING USED WHEN DRIVING WITH FAMILY. I FEEL THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN HANDLED IN A TIMELY MANNER AND I FEAR FOR WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF AN ACCIDENT DOES TAKE PLACE. IT IS SAID THAT DRIVERS SHOULD ARRANGE TO HAVE AIRBAGS REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE HOWEVER I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED NOR CAN I FIND ANY INFO ON WHEN MY MAKE AND MODEL WILL HAVE THIS ISSUE SOLVED.

I WAS NOTIFIED IN JUNE OF 2016 THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG IS RECALLED. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE ANY PASSENGERS RIDE IN THAT SEAT IN MY CAR. THIS IS VERY INCONVENIENT BECAUSE I CAN NOT FIT MY FAMILY IN MY CAR. I HAVE WAITED PATIENTLY FOR A FIX BUT SINCE IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR AND THEY STILL ARE UNABLE TO COME UP WITH A REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE MY CAR IN THE MANNER IT IS INTENDED TO BE USED WITHOUT ENDANGERING THEIR LIVES! THEY SHOULD BE WILLING TO PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL CAR THAT SEATS FIVE AT NO CHARGE TO ME IF THEY CANNOT FIX MY CAR. NEARLY A YEAR IS TOO LONG FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED. AND THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT.

"TAKATA RECALL" BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2011 FROM HENDRICKS TOYOTA IN 2011(CHARLESTON, SC). THEY'VE HAD POSSESSION OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE SINCE JULY 2016 (OVER 6 MONTHS). STILL NO FIX ANYTIME SOON (AS PER GM @ HENDRICKS). BOTH DEALER & MANUFACTURER REFUSE TO ACCOMMODATE ME WITH A VEHICLE COMPARABLE TO THE SIZE OF THE COMPACT SUV I SPENT $25,000 ON (JUST PAID OFF) REGARDLESS OF THE FACT I CANNOT GET MY DISABLED MOTHER TRANSPORTED IN THE SEDANS THEY ARE FORCING ON PEOPLE (I AM HER ONLY CLOSE RELATIVE & FORM OF TRANSPORT TO DR. APPT., GROCERY STORE ETC.). MY VEHICLE WILL PROBABLY END UP HAVING PROBLEMS FROM SITTING THERE FOR YEARS, & I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO SPEND THOUSANDS MORE ON ANOTHER. THIS IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE AS IT IS, BUT NOW THE DEALERSHIP NOR MANUFACTURER HAVE ANSWERS & WANT TO PLAY THE FINGER POINTING GAME. I PAID THEM FAITHFULLY $25,000 & I CAN'T GET TREATED RIGHT. I'M FED UP WITH TOYOTA IN GENERAL. NOW, I WANT A REFUND TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE & IN THE MEANTIME, THEY OWE ALL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS LOANERS COMPARABLE TO WHATEVER THEY PURCHASED TO BEGIN WITH, EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO GET A SYSTEM GOING WITH ENTERPRISE ETC. WE SHOULD NOT BE INSANELY INCONVENIENCED BY TOYOTA'S MISTAKES AND NEGLIGENCE. AS A CUSTOMER, YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT TALK TO THESE PEOPLE. THEY TRULY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOU SO LONG AS THEY GET YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. ONE THING IS FOR SURE, THE WAY THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS ON BOTH ENDS, I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A TOYOTA EVER AGAIN IN MY LIFETIME! *TR
