TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA AIRBAGS. I'VE CALLED FOR THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO WAIT. SO IF I CRASH WITH MY CHILDREN AND AIRBAGS DEPLOY IT WON'T MATTER BECAUSE THEY AREN'T READY. I LIVE IN ARIZONA WHERE IT'S HOT AND HUMID BOTH CONDITIONS THEY SAID WOULD MAKE THE AIRBAG WORSE.

TAKATA RECALL - I WENT TO TRADE IN MY SCION XB AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG AND NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. SINCE THE RECALL IS FROM MAY 2016 I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT WHEN THIS WILL BE REMEDIED. I AM "STUCK" WITH THE SCION AND CANNOT SELL UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED. IS THERE A TIME FRAME FOR THE RESOLUTION? IS THERE ANY RECOURSE FOR TOYOTA AS THIS IS NOW CAUSING A FINANCIAL STRAIN IN PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE, NOT HAVING THIS THE ABILITY TO TRADE IN THIS VEHICLE FOR THE PURCHASE OF A NEW VEHICLE? ANY INFORMATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TAKATA RECALL. RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED IN JANUARY 2017 FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE RECALL DIRECTED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT NOT BE USED. WHEN CALLING TOYOTA TO ASK ABOUT A TENTATIVE TIME FRAME FOR A REMEDY A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT A REMEDY WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL ABOUT SEPTEMBER 2017. I APPRECIATE THAT THIS IS A MASSIVE RECALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. HOWEVER, I AM A ONE CAR OWNER AND REGULARLY NEED TO USE OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE NO RECOURSE BUT TO USE THE CAR. I AM A VOLUNTEER WORKER AND CANNOT AFFORD A RENTAL FOR A WEEK, LET ALONE 6 MONTHS. HOW AM I TO DRIVE SAFELY IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE? WHAT HAPPENS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS DUE TO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT? THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT LOANER VEHICLES ARE NOT BEING PROVIDED WITH THIS RECALL. HOWEVER, IN THE "FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS" DOCUMENT (COPY ATTACHED) PUBLISHED ON OCTOBER 13, 2016, WITH A REVISION DATE OF MARCH 10, 2017, PAGE 4, QUESTION 9, IT STATES "IF THIS RECOMMENDATION IS NOT FEASIBLE FOR THE CUSTOMER'S PERSONAL OR BUSINESS NEEDS, ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION MAY BE MADE AVAILABLE." WHAT MUST ONE DO TO QUALIFY? I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING AS THINGS CURRENTLY STAND.
