| Description of the problem | Takata recall i wish to complain about takata and toyota about their mutual handling of the recall. This summer i received a notice from toyota recommending keeping the front passenger seat unoccupied due to the front passenger airbag while they seek a "remedy". From what reading i have done, the remedy consists of replacing the defective technology from takata with a newer version of the same defective technology, thus prolonging the danger. This is just a ploy to buy time and it is criminal. As the airbag recall expands to other makes and models, will other airbags in my vehicle be affected as well? So now i and many thousands/ millions of other drivers must drive vehicles that could explode on us at any given time and that will be difficult, if not impossible, to sell. We should be compensated and toyota and takata must be held accountable. |
