TAKATA RECALL WESTBURY TOYOTA HAS A 2011 SIENNA LE IN SILVER ON SALE ON THEIR LOT. I ADDRESSED THEM VIA EMAIL ABOUT MY CONCERNS ON RECALLS SPECIFICALLY THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. WHEN I ENTERED THE VIN ON THE NHYSA WEBSITE IT SHOWED ONE RECALL 1/9/2019 FOR AIRBAG BUT NO OFFICIAL RECALL NUMBER ASSIGNED TO IT YET. AS SOON AS I EMAILED THEM BACK AT NIGHT AROUND 9 PM I NOTICED THE RECALL NOTICE HAD DISAPPEARED. THE CARFAX ALSO SHOWS 1/24/2019 THAT MANUFACTURE MAINTENANCE WAS CONDUCTED. SO ALL OF A SUDDEN AT 9:30 PM THEY MAGICALLY FIXED THE AIRBAGS!? I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE LEGITIMACY OF THE FIX THEY CONDUCTED AND AFRAID SOMEONE MIGHT GET INJURED SHOULD THEY BUY THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE OR REACH OUT TO THEM.

TAKATA RECALL: DESPITE BEING IN ZONE A, MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (SERVCO HAWAII) SAYS IT WILL BE MANY MONTHS BEFORE THEY CAN GET TO FIXING MY AIRBAG (I WAITED ON THE PHONE FOR OVER AN HOUR BEFORE THEY EVEN ANSWERED MY CALL). GIVEN THAT ZONE A CARS ARE AT THE GREATEST RISK OF ACCIDENTAL AIR BAG EXPLOSION, AND GIVEN THAT TOYOTA SAYS THAT THE FRONT SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED, IT SEEMS INADEQUATE TO JUST TELL THE CONSUMER THAT THEY WILL GET TO IT IN A FEW (INDETERMINATE) MONTHS. I WOULD LIKE MY CAR FIXED IMMEDIATELY.

TAKATA RECALL THEY SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO STATING NO SOLUTION YET, IN THE MEANTIME, DEATH MAY OCCUR IF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. SO FOR A YEAR NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, ABOUT A WEEK AGO I FINALLY GET A NOTICE THAT THEY HAVE THE PARTS NOW. I CALL THEM AND THEY PUT ME ON A WAIT LIST THAT THE SAN JOSE STEVEN'S CREEK TOYOTA DEALER TELLS ME IS GOING TO BE 4 TO 6 WEEKS WAIT. SO FOR A YEAR, NO ONE CAN SIT ON THE PASSENGER SEAT OR FEAR OF DEATH IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. NOW ITS 4 TO 6 MORE WEEKS LONGER. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN SEATS INSTALLED IN THE MIDDLE ROW AND THE BACK SEATS ARE FOLDED DOWN TO CARRY CARGO. WHERE IS MY WIFE SUPPOSED TO SIT IN THE MEANTIME?!? THIS IS A RIDICULOUSLY LONG TIME THAT I'M NOT ABLE TO USE MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THIS IS CRIMINAL.
