TAKATA RECALL THE NHTSA IS AWARE OF THIS RECALL BUT MAY NOT APPRECIATE THE FULL IMPACT ON THE OWNER OF THE CAR. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IT DUE TO THIS RECALL BUT THERE IS NO REMEDY. I CAN'T GET IT FIXED. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER AND ASKED WHEN REMEDY IS AVAILABLE NO ONE KNOWS. SO I SAID FINE LET ME TRADE IT IN AND BUY A NEW CAR. HOWEVER, SINCE THERE IS A RECALL THE DEALER SAID HE COULDN'T OFFER FULL TRADE IN PRICE BECAUSE HE WOULD BE UNABLE TO SELL IT UNTIL THE REMEDY IS MADE. SO I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AND I CAN'T SELL IT WITHOUT A LOSS IN VALUE. NEITHER ARE MY FAULT. TAKATA HAS ME STUCK IN A VERY POOR POSITION AND I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA'S RESPONSE

TAKATA RECALL. SAFETY RECALL NOT REMEDIED.

TAKATA RECALL--I RECEIVED A FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR NOTICE BACK IN AUGUST 2016 AND CALLED IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. BEAMAN PONTIAC SAID THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE PART WAS IN.

I WOULD LIKE MY CAR BACK. BUT I DON'T WANT THE LIABILITY OF SOMEONE RIDING IN MY CAR OR ME IN IT WITH MY HUSBAND DRIVING BEING KILLED AND TOYOTA NOT RESPONSIBLE SINCE I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE.

TAKATA RECALL TOO LONG TO GO WITH SUCH A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN A CAR. MY 21 YEAR OLD SON DRIVES THIS CAR. PLEASE HAVE A FIX SOON OR AT LEAST BE ABLE TO TAKE IT IN AND TURN THAT AIRBAG OFF. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

TAKATA RECALL. TOYOTA HAS REPEATEDLY ASSURED US THAT THE NEW AIRBAG PARTS WILL BE READY IN "ONE MONTH". TOYOTA HAS BEEN SAYING THIS FOR THE PAST 5 MONTHS LEAVING US WITH A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WE ARE UNABLE TO SELL. TOYOTA'S BEST ADVICE WAS TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AND COME IN FOR A RENTAL WHILE WE WAIT, THEY HAVE BEEN OUT OF RENTALS FOR THE ENTIRE TIME WE'VE BEEN WAITING. I UNDERSTAND MOST OF THIS IS TAKATA'S FAULT BUT TOYOTA HAS DONE A TERRIBLE JOB KEEPING US INFORMED AND IS ALLOWING MY FAMILY TO DRIVE A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP COVERED IN THEIR BADGES.
