What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2009 scion xb. While driving 10 MPH, the contact's vehicle was struck on the front driver's side by another vehicle traveling 20 MPH. None of the air bags deployed. The contact injured her shoulder and the other driver had minor injuries to his face. A police report was filed. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer. The current and failure mileages were 3,250.
Takata recall. Recall notice was received in january 2017 for passenger airbag. The recall directed that the passenger seat not be used. When calling toyota to ask about a tentative time frame for a remedy a toyota representative informed me that a remedy will not be available until about september 2017. I appreciate that this is a massive recall across the country. However, I am a one car owner and regularly need to use of the passenger seat. I have no recourse but to use the car.
