TAKATA RECALL: I FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN 2017. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING PERIODICALLY FOR AN UPDATE FOR THE FIX FOR THIS RECALL. I CHECKED AGAIN TODAY AND IT THE WEBSITE STATES THAT THE RECALL IS INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. SO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY ARE RIDING DAILY IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND NO ONE SEEMS CONCERNED ABOUT REMEDYING THE SITUATION. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS SITUATION.

TWICE MY CAR HAS LOST ENGINE POWER. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER REPAIRED SOME WIRING AND MOST RECENTLY MY CAR LOST POWER IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN DALLAS (SCARY!) BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WERE ALSO OUT DUE TO THIS SAME PROBLEM, SO THE BRAKES DID NOT FAIL BUT I HAD TO PUMP THEM TO WORK. THE DEALER NOW SAYS I NEED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY, SENSOR AND FILTER.
