"TAKATA RECALL" ' WE RECEIVED NOTICE THAT OUR 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL IN JULY 2016. THE NOTICE TOLD US WE SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYBODY RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 6 AND THIS IS A HIGHLY IMPRACTICAL RESTRICTION. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331 ON JULY 20, 2016 AND TALKED WITH TOYOTA REP AARON TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT REPLACING OUR PASSENGER AIRBAG. LATER THAT DAY OR THE NEXT, MY HUSBAND SPOKE TO TOYOTA REP CHRISTINA C AT EXTENSION 73868. SHE REFUSED TO TELL HIM HER LAST NAME. SHE TOLD US OUR FILE NUMBER WAS 1607202114. CHRISTINA SUGGESTED ORALLY IT WAS SAFE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, BUT REFUSED TO SAY SO IN WRITING. NEITHER AARON NOR CHRISTINA COULD TELL US WHEN OUR AIRBAG WOULD BE FIXED, AND BOTH SAID THEY WOULD HAVE A SUPERVISOR CALL US. IN BOTH CASES A SUPERVISOR DID NOT CALL US. CHRISTINA OFFERED A LOANER VEHICLE, BUT IT WOULD BE A SMALL COMPACT CAR, WHICH COULD NOT TRANSPORT OUR FAMILY. WE SPENT THE LAST 2+ MONTHS NOT USING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF OUR VEHICLE. I CALLED AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND SPOKE WITH TOYOTA REPS BERTHA AND SYREETA. SINCE THE CAR IS NOW SIX YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN IN HOT AND HUMID SOUTH CAROLINA, AND THEREFORE NOW LIKELY SUBJECT TO MATERIAL DETERIORATION, WE DEMANDED TOYOTA INSTALL A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG RIGHT AWAY. TOYOTA REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. AGAIN, I WAS TOLD I COULD SURRENDER OUR VAN AND GET A LOANER CAR THAT COULD NOT FIT MY FAMILY OF 6. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE MAY OF 2016. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2016, TOYOTA HAS NO IDEA WHEN THIS SITUATION WILL BE REMEDIED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. TOYOTA SHOULD PROMPTLY REPAIR OUR VEHICLE OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE PROVIDE A COMPARABLE SUBSTITUTE VEHICLE WHILE THEY SORT THINGS OUT. WE SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO FURTHER DANGER WHILE TOYOTA FIGURES OUT THE ABSOLUTE CHEAPEST WAY TO OBTAIN AIRBAGS FROM TAKATA.
