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.

TAKATA INFLATORS. I JUST TOOK MY SCION IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TWO RECALLS. THEY FIXED THE ONE RECALL FOR THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH, WHICH WAS GREAT. HOWEVER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY FUTURE DATE THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THEIR REMARK WAS THAT IT WAS ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE, NOT TO WORRY, DRIVER IS OK. ALSO IN THE RECALL LETTERS I RECEIVED, IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I "NOT HAVE SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT". THE PROBLEM IS THAT I DO HAVE PASSENGERS, AND SOME OF THE TIME THE PASSENGER IS ME. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, HIGH TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY. I TRAVEL TO TEXAS, ALSO HIGHER TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY. MY CAR IS NOW 8 YEARS OLD SO IT IS GETTING UP IN THE DANGER ZONE AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL LETTER. WHY IS TOYOTA NOT BEING MADE TO REPLACE THE VEHICLES IF THEY CAN NOT REPAIR THEM. THIS IS WORSE THAN THE LEMON LAW WHERE DEALERS ARE MADE TO REPLACE A VEHICLE IF IT IS DEEMED "A LEMON".
