TAKATA RECALL ... IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. EACH TIME WE CONTACT OUR DEALERSHIP WE'RE TOLD THE FIX IS NOT READY YET. IT'S DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE TOYOTA IS TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY IF THEY CAN FIRST SAY OUR LIVES ARE AT RISK AND THEN DIDDLE AROUND FOR A FULL YEAR WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT BEYOND SENDING OUT A LETTER. DO THEY GET FEDERAL CREDIT FOR RESPONDING TO A RECALL SITUATION WHEN ALL THEY'VE DONE IS POST A LETTER TO US????

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA IN JANUARY 2015. THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY THEY ARE WORKING ON A REMEDY FOR THE SRS ECU. I HAVE CALLED THEM TWICE AND SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT TO YOU ONCE REGARDING THE UNREASONABLE DELAY IN IMPLEMENTING THE 'REMEDY'. THEY CONTINUE TO SAY TO WAIT UNTIL THEY HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS. IT IS BEGINNING TO FEEL LIKE A STALLING PROCESS WAITING FOR MY PERSISTENCE TO WEAKEN. THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM INCLUDES REPORTS OF INADVERTENT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. SOMEONE NEEDS TO PROVIDE THEM WITH SOME ENCOURAGEMENT. IS THAT YOUR JOB?
