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 INFLATORS: ON JUNE 9TH, 2016 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA GIVING NOTICE OF THE AIR BAG RECALL. IT HAS BEEN APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE "RECOMMENDING THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". AFTER A APPROXIMATELY THREE OF MONTHS I BEGAN CALLING THE DEALER SHIP EVERY MONTH OR SO CHECKING ON THE RECALL. THEY JUST KEEP SAYING THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON A FIX AND I AM SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE ANOTHER LETTER WHEN THE REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER ALSO RECEIVING ABOUT THE SAME INFO. IN MY OPINION THIS HAS GONE ON WAY TOO LONG AND TOYOTA SHOULD BE REIMBURSING THEIR COSTUMERS FOR THEIR INCONVENIENCE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO FULLY UTILIZE THEIR VEHICLES DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. *TR

I HAVE CALLED THE SPARKS TOYOTA , THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM TO DISCONNECT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE DEALER STATED TOYATO WILL NOT PERMIT THEM TO DISCONNECT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I AM 83 YEARS OLD AND HAVE DRIVEN VEHICLES WITHOUT SEAT BELTS SINCE 1948 TO 1962. I DROVE VEHCILES WITH ONLY SEAT BELT PROTECTION UNTIL THE LATE 1980S. I PERFER TO DRIVE MY SCION WITH ONLY SEALBELT PROTECTION FOR THE PASSENGER THEN TO HAVE THE OCCUPANT KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURYED VIA A EXPLODING AIRBAG. I PAID GOOD MONEY TO BUY A SAFE VEHICLE FROM SPARKS AND TOYATO AND I EXPECT THEM TO FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS TO SAVE MY OCCUPTANTS LIFE WHICH IS ME AS I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE SIT IN THE DEATH SEAT WITH A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. YOU AND TOYOTA ARE GUESSING WHEN THE AIRBAG DEGRADES IN MY SCION BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FACTS TO MAKE THAT ESTIMATE WHEN MY AIR BAG MAY EXPLODE. MY SCION IS BLACK AND I LIVE 2 BLOCKS FROM THE OCEAN. INSIDE THE VEHICLE THE TEMPERATURE IS EXCESS 180 DEGREES IN THE SUMMER. THERE IS SO MUCH MOISTURE IN THE AIR THAT METAL PAINT CANS OR OTHER METALS IN THE GARAGE RUST DUE TO THE SALT MOIST AIR. SO NHTSA NOR TAKATA HAVE NO IDEA IF THE AIR BAG IN MY VEHICLE IS SAFE OR NOT WHILE OPERATING IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS MY VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO!!!!! YOU SHOULD DIRECT TOYOTA TO DISCONNECT MY AIR BAG AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTILL THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED.
