TAKATA RECALL OVER A MONTH AGO MY WIFE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA STATING THAT HER VEHICLE WAS PART OF RECALL THAT INVOLVED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. UPON READING THE LETTER IT STATED "UNTIL THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WHILE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." THAT REALLY SOUNDS LIKE A SHORT TERM FIX. SO MY WIFE CALLED EAST COAST TOYOTA THAT DAY AND EXPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE RECALL NOTICE, THEY TOLD HER THAT A REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE AND MADE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR 4/18/17 @ 12:30PM. WHEN SHE ARRIVED THEY SAID THAT THERE WASN'T A FIX AND DIDN'T OFFER AN APOLOGY FOR THE HUGE INCONVENIENCE. AT THE DEALER SHE WAS TOLD THAT A FIX WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN JUNE 2017 AND THAT SHE NEEDED TO CALL THE 1800 NUMBER ON THE RECALL NOTICE.. AFTER HEARING ABOUT HER JOURNEY I WAS UPSET SO I DECIDED TO CALL 1-888-270-9371. THE REP JULIA LISA SAID THAT A REMEDY WOULDN'T BE READY UNTIL DECEMBER 2017. I ALSO ASKED WHAT TOYOTA WAS OFFERING ITS CUSTOMERS IN THE MEAN TIME BECAUSE THE SHORT TIENE FIX WAS NOW A LONG TERM. SHE STATED THAT WE COULD ASK THE DEALER FOR A "LOANER CAR." WE REALLY NEED THIS CAR TO TRANSPORT OUR FAMILY AROUND. PLEASE HELP.

WHEN IS THERE GOING TO BE A SATISFACTORY SOLUTION TO THIS AIRBAG ISSUE?????????????????????????????????????????? EVERY TIME I CALL TOYOTA I AM TOLD THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THAT IS AN UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER TO A POSSIBLY DEADLY PROBLEM. THIS IS MY 4TH TOYOTA AND WILL PROBABLY BE MY LAST. AND IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT, HOW DO YOU INTEND THE COMPENSATE THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES WITH THE RECALLED AIRBAGS? IS THERE ANYBODY HOME?

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING WITH 30 MILE/HOUR ON THE ANDERSON MILL ROAD, AUSTIN, TEXAS. ALL OF SUDDEN, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HEAVY, JUST LIKE STEERING WAS LOCKED. IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO CHANGE DIRECTION. IN THIS SITUATION, I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR WHEN I TRIED TO FIND PLACE TO PARK. THIS SITUATION MAY LAST SEVERAL MINUTES, AND BECOME NORMAL. I DROVE MY CAR TO THE TOYOTA CENTER, THE TECHNICIAN TOOK FEW HOURS TO CHECK, BUT NOTHING THEY FOUND. RIGHT NOW, I AM SO AFRAID OF DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO REASONABLE TIME FRAME FOR THE TAKATA RECALL TO BE REMEDIED. IT IS UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT NO PERSON TO OCCUPY THE PASSENGER SEAT IN A 4 PERSON VEHICLE. THIS REQUIRES A FAMILY OF 4 TO EITHER DRIVE 2 CARS AND WASTE MONEY ON GAS OR PUT THEMSELVES AT RISK BY SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DESPITE THE DANGER. I AM TOLD THAT A SOLUTION IS STILL APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS AWAY. I HAVE ASKED TOYOTA TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE SEAT UNTIL THE REMEDY IS AVAILABLE AND THEY HAVE REFUSED FOR LIABILITY REASONS. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE AIRBAGS AND JUST USED SEAT BELTS. WHY CAN'T WE TREAT THIS AS SUCH. IT IS NOT REASONABLE TO EXPECT FAMILIES TO RESTRAIN FROM USING 1/4 OF THEIR CAR FOR POTENTIALLY AN ENTIRE YEAR. THERE'S NOT THE OPTION TO SELL THE CAR BECAUSE FAIR MARKET VALUE WILL NOT BE OBTAINED WITH SUCH A RECALL. IN SHORT, I WANT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLED UNTIL A REMEDY CAN BE PROVIDED. THIS IS THE LEAST TOYOTA CAN DO.
