Takata recall keeping getting notices about this recall and the bankruptcy case against tk holdings. I (we) haven't owned this vehicle for over 4 years. I already attempted to inform toyota (about 2 years ago) but they said the info comes from my state dmv and i couldn't get them to take some action to determine the actual owner. I also contacted the nh dmv at that time and provided the vin. They said their records…

Takata recall called dealership for the 2nd time about replacement parts under recall, only to be told once again they are out of replacement parts and to call back in a few weeks. I called a couple months ago and was told the same thing. Now i'm hearing they are adding more cars to the recall and i fear i may never get mine replaced.

Takata recall we have received the remedy notice. None of the dealers in our area have the necessary parts to perform the remedy. Further that the parts have been back ordered for months. Toyota's letter says this is a serious safety issue. If toyota took this situation seriously, or if it affected their bottom line, they would see to it that they had the parts ready to be installed. If anyone is injured in my car…

Takata recall since october 2015, i have been told repeatedly by beechmont toyota in cincinnati, ohio that they do not have the repair part in stock. They keep telling me they will order it, but it never seems to come in. I am growing concerned, as the airbag in the car now may be dangerous, and could cause injury or death to my wife and myself. I am tired of waiting for the dealer to get this part, and i want to…

I received recall notice last week, called dealer to schedule appt., was told some one would call me back. Heard nothing, so i called back again today and was told to wait, people had been waiting 2 months. Recall notice "strongly recommends that you have this remedy performed immediately". If the dealer is overwhelmed with this recall, why aren't independent repair shops allowed to perform this procedure?…

I would like to call your attention to toyota's failure to adequately provide equivalent rental vehicles for customers whose vehicles are deemed unsafe to drive during the takata airbag recalls. A customer cannot be reasonably expected to meet the same needs a rav4 serves (in my case, dog transport) with a corolla or similar sedan rental. Toyota corporate "rules" cited to thwart the delivery of equivalent rental…
