I keep on getting those Takata airbag recall notices from Honda that say it’s dangerous to keep driving my car, but every time I contact the dealer they say the replacement parts aren’t available yet. I’m now on a wait list.

For me it is my 2007 Toyota Corolla. I called Toyota once I got a notice to call only to be put on a waiting list because they do not have the replacement parts. My letter states for me not to place a person on the passenger seat but I guess a driver is ok LOL. This is scary.

You can probably make them give you a rental to drive until the parts come in.

They are even still selling new cars with the dangerous part.

We’re on the same wait-list; but we saw a news program that indicated that the replacement airbags still contain the same chemical that caused the problem:

I’m wondering if we can just have the bags taken out until a proper replacement is done - or would that be permitted?

Have fun.

I waited over a year,they finally came in,I dropped my car off,and the shuttle drove me home.

I was home about 1/2 an hour when the dealership called and told me that the airbag wasn’t programmed properly for my car so they would have to place another order.

I will not type my reaction-—it wasn’t pretty. :-)
