    Takata recall. The website says to file a complaint if repairs have not been made in a timely manner. I have 17-year old twins who share the car and it's been over a year since we were notified of the recall, yet parts are still not available. We likely cannot sell the car due to the recall. I'd say this is not timely.

    Once we learned of the recall for the airbags we contacted the dealer immediately. We were told that they would replace them in 6 months. That was over a year ago and nothing has happened. We've asked numerous times (anderson ford) in kingman az and were told they would call us. It's been years. Now what? As a result at this time the passenger airbag is turned off and my passengers have no protection.
