Description of the problem	Takata recall. In regards to my recall airbag repair, why is it that my 2004 toyota corolla already had the repair performed? Seems i get a different answer everytime i ask that question. Now my 2005 corolla matrix which is currently 11 years old is finally having this repair performed. And toyota's recommendation is that i do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. What about the previous 11 years that rode in that seat with the same defect? If toyota truly cared about my safety, they should have made that suggestion when they first knew of it. But they probably wouldn't have sold very many 4 passenger corollas set-up with 3 people in the back seat and only the driver sitting in front. Heck, to ensure the safety of their customers they should have removed the front passenger seat or removed the back of that seat along with the seat-belt to guarantee nobody rides in that seat. But none of those things happened simply because truth be told, it only became a safety issue once toyota had to come to terms with the defect; their behavior is simply unacceptable. A sincere apology would state "for any inconveniences this has caused." instead of "we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this will cause, but we are taking this action to ensure your safety." caught in their own lie is what really occurred again if they truly cared we would have known about this problem asap..... The people i feel the most pain for are those unfortunate people who got into a front car accident and did everything right, but their airbag, that was supposed to save their life, wound up either injuring them or not doing its intended job all while toyota knew of the problem. I hope nobody lost their life due to this because no amount of money can ever bring back that person. Just so un-japanese behavior by a japanese company, shame toyota motors.
