YESTERDAY, FEBRUARY 27, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR TAKATA AIR BAGS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL APPEARS IN RED INK ON THE NOTICE. MY CAR IS A TOYOTA YARIS SEDAN, 2008, VIN [XXX]. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA STORE, KENDALL TOYOTA, TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA DOESN'T YET HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD AWAIT FURTHER WORD. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE SHOWS EGREGIOUS DISREGARD FOR MY SAFETY. ALSO, IF TOYOTA HAS KNOWN OF THE PROBLEM SINCE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED NINE YEARS AGO, THEN THE UNAVAILABILITY OF A FIX IN 2017 SIGNALS ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE INCOMPETENCE IN THE ORGANIZATION. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL...I RECEIVED THIS SAFETY RECALL OVER SIX MONTHS AGO. ONCE AGAIN I AM WAITING TOO LONG FOR A REMEDY TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO VEHICLE OWNERS. WE CAN'T EVEN FEEL SAFE IN OUR OWN CARS NOWADAYS. NO SOONER THAN ONE RECALL IS COMPLETED, ANOTHER ONE POPS UP. IT'S NOT RIGHT TO ASK US TO SQUEEZE OUR PASSENGERS INTO THE BACK SEAT UNTIL TOYOTA GETS OFF THEIR BEHINDS AND HELP US. PLEASE GIVE TOYOTA A HUGH PUSH!

TAKATA RECALL THANKFULLY, NO INCIDENT YET. RECEIVED INTERIM RECALL NOTICE IN MAY 2016, STATING THEY WOULD SEND ANOTHER NOTICE WHEN THE REMEDY HAD BEEN PREPARED. SIX MONTHS LATER, IT HAS NOT. CONVENIENTLY, TOYOTA ABSOLVES THEMSELVES OF RESPONSIBILITY BY STATING: "UNTIL THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." THIS IS NOT A REASONABLE REMEDY FOR SUCH A LONG TIME PERIOD, AND MY CIRCUMSTANCES ARE SUCH THAT MY WIFE AND I HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO CONTINUE DRIVING OUR ONLY CAR, WITH CARGO IN THE BACK AND PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT. MOST DISTURBING TO ME IS THE FACT THAT IT IS ONLY THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IMPLICATED IN THE RECALL. IF THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, WOULD TOYOTA ADVISE ME NOT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT? NO, BECAUSE THEN THE CAR WOULD BE COMPLETELY NON-OPERABLE, AND TOYOTA WOULD HAVE A MUCH GREATER LIABILITY TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT VEHICLES, RIGHT? HAVE THEY JUST DONE THE MATH AND CONCLUDED IT'S BETTER TO SETTLE DRIVER SIDE BAGS FATALITIES IN COURT THAN TO REPLACE ALL THOSE FAULTY AIRBAGS? I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY OWN CAR, AND I DO NOT FEEL SATISFIED WITH TOYOTA'S DELAYED RESPONSE TO THIS LIFE-THREATENING DEFECT. HERE'S A SIMPLE SUGGESTION: IF THEY CAN'T REPLACE 50,000,000 AIRBAGS ALL AT ONCE, WHY NOT DISABLE THE AIRBAGS UNTIL SUCH TIME AS IT WON'T SHOOT METAL SHARDS INTO PEOPLE'S FACES? THIS SHOULD BE A STANDARD FEATURE AVAILABLE IN ALL CARS WITH THE TURN OF A KEY. *TR
