Description of the problem	My 2005 rav4 is part of toyota's recall action 15v-284. Leith toyota has replaced my defective takata inflator with yet another defective takata inflator. There doesn't appear to be an engineering solution to their exploding airbag problem. According to page 6 of the july 9, 2015 letter that toyota sent to nhtsa, and i quote, "toyota's other recall action, 15v-284, involves driver's inflators in a relatively small number of vehicles. Inflators from a supplier other than takata have been secured, and we expect to be able to launch recall repairs first in the hah areas, followed by the rest of the nation toward the end of this year". Toyota has not satisfied this recall according to the terms it provided to the nhtsa. I was forced to return the rental car i was provided with and am having to get rides in to work and renting a car on the weekends. My car needs to be fixed properly! No more takata inflators!
