    Well, this will be my car's 4th recall for something. Hope they can take care of this relatively soon.

    I have a 2010 prius. I called my local toyota dealership and the toyota coorperate number and told them I feel unsafe because I have 2 kids and I didn't want to drive the cars due to the risk to my kids getting hit by the airbags and they gave me a 2016 Prius V four with 5,000 miles on it to use until the fix is permanent. The prius V is very nice :)

    I was at the dealer last week, and they told me that the recall is still on hold, until a fix is announced by Toyota.
