MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE ACTIVATED, BUT DID NOT. THIS WAS AFTER I HAD THE RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS REPAIRED AT THE DEALER IN LATE 2017. WHO CAN I ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WITH?

Mileage: 260,000

I HAD MY CAR CHECKED BECAUSE A LIGHT CAME ON ON MY DASH ON 12/6/17 SO I HAD IT CHECKED AND IT ENDED UP BEING MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW, BUT THE MONITOR THEY HOOK UP INDICATED THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS AFFECTED, SO I TOOK IT INTO TOYOTA AND THEY LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS DUMB AND JUST TOLD ME THAT THEY PUT AIR IN MY TIRES AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. SO ON 12/12/17 MY MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD O'REILYS CHECK WITH THERE MONITOR AND AGAIN IT RED FLAGGED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, I KNEW IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE SO I FIGURED THAT'S WHY MY MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT WAS ON BUT WHAT CONCERNS ME IS THE AIRBAG. ACCORDING TO MY NOTES, I HAD MY AIRBAGS SUPPOSEDLY REPLACE IN JULY OF 2016 AND I AM NOT SURE IF A LIGHT WOULD COME ON INDICATING SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS BUT I NEED TO FIND OUT IF AFTER A 1 1/2 YEARS WHY I WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAG???? COULD THIS BE RELATED TO THE RECALL AND HOW DO I FIND OUT (OTHER THAN GOING IN TO TOYOTA) THAT THEY ACTUALLY REPLACED THE RECALLED AIRBAG???) THEY TELL ME THEY DID BUT DOESN'T MY VIN NUMBER HAVE TO BE KEPT TRACK OF SOMEWHERE BESIDES THE SPECIFIC DEALER THAT I WENT TO??? THEY TREATED ME LIKE CRAP AND TOLD ME IT WAS AN $89 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND IF IT WAS AN AIRBAG WOULD COST BETWEEN $500-$700 DOLLARS. I NEED TO KNOW MORE INFORMATION ON THE PREVIOUS AIRBAG RECALL AS I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF IT WAS NEVER FIXED BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD TO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED FOR LIGHTS COMING ON SO I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 1 1/2 YEARS WITH FAULTY AIRBAGS.

OCTOBER 9, 2017 I WAS REAR-ENDED, HIT AT 35 MPH. THIS HIT I WAS SITTING. I WAS SIDE SWIPED AT 40- 45 MPH, MOVING AT THIS TIME. I WAS AGAIN REAR-ENDED AT 50- 55 MPH, STOPPED. AND THEN I WAS BACKED INTO, IN THE FRONT END OF MY CAR AT 20-25 MPH. HOW COME NO AIRBAGS GO OFF?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WENT TO MELODY TOYOTA IN SAN BRUNO, CA (SUMMER 2016) TO HAVE AIRBAG RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART AND THEY WOULD CALL ME FOR AN APPOINTMENT WHEN IT CAME IN. AFTER A MONTH WITH NO WORD FROM THEM I STOPPED BY AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME I DIDN'T NEED TO STOP BY BECAUSE THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PART CAME IN. THAT WAS OVER A YEAR AGO AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T CALLED! I GOT A REMINDER ABOUT THE RECALL SUMMER 2017 AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT ONE TOYOTA OF OAKLAND FOR 10AM 7/18/17. THEY TOLD ME CAR WOULD BE READY BY 2:30. WHEN 4:00 CAME AND I HAD NO WORD I ASKED. AT AROUND 4:30 I WAS TOLD THEY HADN'T STARTED YET AND THEY ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT FOR ANOTHER DAY. I WALKED OUT TOTALLY DISGUSTED. OBVIOUSLY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS HAVE PUT THIS AIRBAG RECALL AT THE BOTTOM OF THEIR PRIORITY LIST. I WILL TRY FINDING A THIRD DEALERSHIP TODAY AND HOPE TO BE DONE WITH THIS SOON.

TAKATA RECALL - IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT I AM UNABLE TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY CAR BECAUSE OF A RISK OF DEATH AND THERE IS NO DATE EVEN TO REPAIR. THIS IS A PRIORITY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I CANNOT HAVE THIS FIXED NOW. UNBELIEVABLE!

I HAVE HAD FAILURE TO DISCLOSE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND BRAKE HAD DIFFICULTY. I HAD A BAD ACCIDENT AND HAVE REACHED OUT TO TOYOTA TO WITHER REPAIR MY CAR OR SETUP RENTAL OR MAKE A PAYMENT FOR RENTAL. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL REPAIRED, THEREFORE RENTING FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN MARCH 2016 ABOUT THE RECALL. THE NOTICE DESCRIBED THE ISSUE WITH THE INFLATOR. I WAS ASKED TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE NOTICE SAID IT WAS URGENT . IT SPECIFIED THAT I SHOULD STOP USING THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT EVEN SAID THAT IF I FELT UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR, THEY WOULD PICK UP THE CAR FOR ME. I SENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER THE VERY NEXT DAY. THEY CHECKED AND VERIFIED MY CAR IS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL, BUT THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE PART WOULD ARRIVE. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 11 MONTHS SINCE THE NOTICE WAS SENT. THE PEOPLE AT THE DEALER DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL ARRIVE. IT IS UNREALISTIC THAT OWNERS ARE EXPECTED TO NOT BE ABLE TO FULLY USE THEIR VEHICLES WITHOUT RECEIVING SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION. I AM NOT EVEN SURE IF IT WOULD BE ETHICAL FOR ME TO SELL THE CAR UNDER THIS CONDITIONS. *TR

"TAKATA RECALL", AIRBAGS FAILED TO INFLATE. CAR WAS IN MOTION AND HIT A DEER ON HIGHWAY AND CAR IS NOW DEEMED TOTALED BY INSURANCE COMPANY ADJUSTER. RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO AND SUPPOSEDLY TAKEN CARE OF. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE IN VEHICLE WAS INSURED. I WONDER IF THERE WAS SOME FAULTY INSTILLATION OR THE AIRBAGS WERE EVEN REPLACED? THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE LOCATION TODAY IN ST. LOUIS, MO.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2016. I HAVE SINCE BEEN WAITING FOR A CALL FOR WHEN THE PARTS HAVE ARRIVED. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CALLS. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 14TH. I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER OR FRIENDS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TOYOTA DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE READY, WHICH I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY FRUSTRATING PROCESS.

WE RECEIVED A RECALL REGARDING THE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE ON MARCH 2, 2016. AS OF TODAY, TOYOTA STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS READY FOR ME. TWO MONTHS AGO, THEY SAID THE PARTS WOULD BE READY BY NOW, AND JUST TODAY WHEN I CALLED THEM, THEY SAID THAT THE PARTS WILL NOT BE READY UNTIL ANOTHER TWO MONTHS. HAVING A MALFUNCTION AIRBAG IS A REALLY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT CAUSES ME TO BE ANXIOUS EVERYDAY WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA HAS BEEN IRRESPONSIBLE ON THEIR END AND THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU REGARDING THE RESOLUTION.

I CALLED A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 18, TO ORDER PARTS FOR A RECALL. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL ME WITH 2 TO 3 WEEKS WHEN THEY ARRIVE, OR CALL ME AND GIVE ME UPDATES AS TO WHEN THEY WOULD ARRIVE. TODAY IS AUGUST 28, AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. I EXPECTED THEY WOULD CALL ME, SO I FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT, BUT NOW I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE ALL MY ERRANDS ARE DONE BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW, AND I AM JUST REALIZING I HAVE HAD NO CALL, NO UPDATES, NOTHING FROM THEM IN OVER 2 MONTHS. MY REGISTRATION IS DUE IN NOVEMBER, AND I WORK WITH THE DMV, AND I KNOW IF YOU DO NOT TAKE CARE OF A RECALL BEFORE YOUR TAGS ARE DUE, YOU DO NOT GET YOUR TAGS. I DON'T WANT TO BE SCRAMBLING IN TWO MONTHS FOR SOMEONE TO GET ME MY PARTS. THIS IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. I CAN'T DRIVE SAFELY WITH ANYONE IN MY PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF THIS, AND YET, THE DEALERSHIP TAKES NO HEAT FOR THIS. THAT'S NOT RIGHT AT ALL.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN THE EMAIL WITH THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, " UNTIL THE REMEDY IS PERFORMED WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATED THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT" I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER WHO TOOK MY ALL THE INFORMATION THEY NEED TO COMPLETE THE RECALL AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND WILL CONTACT ME WHEN IT ARRIVES. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL ARRIVE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY, AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL ARRIVE. I UNDERSTAND THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THIS RECALL, HOWEVER THIS HAS CAUSED ME NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE INABILITY TO PUT ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR, AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PROBLEM WILL BE RECTIFIED.

TAKATA RECALL - NHTSA RECALL NO. 15V-285 AND 16V-127 I CALLED MY NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER TO SCHEDULE REPLACE OF AIR BAG MODULE BUT THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE 6 MONTHS BEFORE THEY COULD DO IT.

MY NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER IS ROCHESTER TOYOTA, 4365 CANAL PLACE, ROCHESTER, MN 55904. I FIND THAT A 6 MONTH WAIT TIME IS WAY BEYOND REASONABLE.

I RECEIVED A REMEDY NOTICE FROM TOYOTA STATING THAT "TOYOTA HAS COMPLETED PARTS PREPARATION FOR VEHICLES IN YOUR GEOGRAPHIC AREA. PLEASE CONTACT ANY AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER TO SCHEDULE AND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS REMEDY PERFORMED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE". I CALLED TODAY AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART AND I WOULD HAVE TO BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST FOR AT LEAST 4 WEEKS. THEY SEND ME A LETTER TELLING ME THEY ARE READY THEN THEY TELL ME TO WAIT??? AND IN THE MEANWHILE I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANYONE RIDE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT? RIDICULOUS; OBVIOUSLY NO SENCE OF URGENCY.

TAKATA RECALL MANUFACTURER HAS SENT RECALL NOTICE FOR AIRBAG REPLACEMENT BUT HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS. ALL LOCAL DEALERSHIPS REPORT RECEIVING ONLY A FEW PARTS PER WEEK AND HAVE HUNDREDS OF REQUESTS FOR REPAIRS. MANUFACTURER IS REPAIRING AT AN INSUFFICIENT RATE. FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF CAR IS INOPERABLE UNTIL REPAIR COMPLETE.

WE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE, CALLED DEALER TO SCHEDUAL REPAIR. REPAIR DEPT WANTED TO KNOW IF I HAD ORDERED PART? WHY DO I HAVE TO ORDER PART? HE DIS SAY HE WOULD ORDER AND WOULD TAKE ABOUT 6-8 WEEKS. WE HAD TO LET OUR GRANDSON TAKE OUR OTHER VEHICLE ON VACATION BECAUSE OF RECALL. DIDN'T WANT HIM DRIVING WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN CAR WITH PASSENGER AIRBAG MAYBE NOT WORKING. WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO GET A RECALL PART

I RECEIVED A REMEDY NOTICE FROM TOYOTA STATING THAT "TOYOTA HAS COMPLETED PARTS PREPARATION FOR VEHICLES IN YOUR GEOGRAPHIC AREA. PLEASE CONTACT ANY AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER TO SCHEDULE AND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS REMEDY PERFORMED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE". WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY, THEY STATED THAT TOYOTA WAS ONLY ALLOWING THEM A FEW PARTS PER WEEK THEREFORE THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND IT WOULD BE 6 WEEKS BEFORE THEY RECEIVED THE PART. THE NOTICE ADVISES THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. THE TIMEFRAME DOES NOT REFLECT THE URGENCY OF THE FIX.

TAKATA RECALL. I JUST CALLED BROADWAY TOYOTAI IN PORTLAND OREGON TO SEE ABOUT REPLACEMENT UNDER THE RECALL. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 20 WEEKS TO GET THE PART. I DON'T THINK THIS IS A REASONABLE TIME TO REMEDY THE DEFECT.

I AM CONTACTING YOU IN REGARD TO NHTSA TOYOTA AIR BAG RECALL NO: 15V-285 AND 16V-127 I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL REMEDY NOTICE IN JUNE 2016 WHICH STATED 'TOYOTA HAS COMPLETED PARTS PREPARATION FOR VEHICLES IN YOUR GEOGRAPHIC AREA. 'HAVE THIS REMEDY PERFORMED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.' I CONTACTED THE DEALER, RUSSELL TOYOTA, AND WAS SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR JUNE 10, 2016. AT THE APPOINTMENT, I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT MAKE THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEY HAD TO SEE WHICH PART WAS NEEDED AND ORDER IT. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THE PART CAME IN (FP NUMBER: 04006-06102 - AIR BAG ASSY KIT). WHICH IS WHY I AM WRITING. IT HAS BEEN A MONTH SINCE I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE RECALLED DEFECT. WHEN I CALLED FOR AN UPDATE, I WAS TOLD THE PART HAD NOT BEEN RECEIVED AND THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN IT WOULD BE RECEIVED. HOWEVER, THE TOYOTA.COM/RECALL FAQ SITE STATES 'THE OWNER LETTERS WILL BE MAILED IN QUANTITIES CONSISTENT WITH PARTS AVAILABILITY AND DEALER REPAIR CAPACITY, AND IS EXPECTED TO COMPLETE BY JUNE 1, 2016' AND THE NOTIFICATIONS REFERENCED ABOVE STATE 'THE REPAIR WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS.' (SUGGESTING THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE) THEREFORE, IT IS REASONABLE TO EXPECT, 1) GIVEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM THIS DEALERSHIP, A REPLACEMENT PART FOR MY VEHICLE WOULD BE AVAILABLE AND 2) 3+ MONTHS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR A RECALL OF THIS SEVERITY.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A "REMEDY NOTICE" FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THIS RECALL AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY TOYOTA DEALER. AFTER DROPPING MY CAR OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL NOTIFYING ME THAT THEY COULD NOT "FIX" THE ISSUE RELATED TO THIS RECALL. I WAS INFORMED THAT AS TOYOTA HAS LIMITED THE NUMBER OF "REMEDY KITS" TO 6 PER DEALERSHIP, PER WEEK, I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS (OR MORE) BEFORE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO "FIX" MY VEHICLE. (NEVER MIND THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS WHEN THE APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AND WASTED MY TIME, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE). THE ORIGINAL RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT I RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA STATED "UNTIL THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE IN YOUR LOCATION, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". SO, I AM TO BE DEPRIVED OF USING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF MY VEHICLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL 3 MONTHS, OR MORE (AFTER HAVING RECEIVING THE REMEDY NOTICE), BECAUSE TOYOTA CHOOSES TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF PARTS AVAILABLE TO LOCAL DEALERS TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. SINCE TOYOTA SENT ME A "REMEDY NOTICE" FOR THIS RECALL, I BELIEVE IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE MY VEHICLE IS FIXED IN A TIMELY MATTER. A DELAY OF 3 MONTHS BECAUSE TOYOTA IS NOT SUPPLYING DEALERS WITH ENOUGH PARTS IS JUST INEXCUSABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. NHTSA RECALL NO. 15V-285 AND 16V-127. THIS INVOLVES WHAT APPEARS TO ME TO BE SLOW WALKING OF THE INSTALLATION OF THE RECALLED PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOR MY VEHICLE. IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL LETTER I RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA (WHICH IS UNDATED, BUT WHICH I RECEIVED ON APRIL 15, 2016), I CALLED AND REQUESTED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART BE ORDERED ON APRIL 18, 2016 AND I WAS ADVISED BY MY LOCAL DEALER (WOLFCHASE TOYOTA) THAT IT WOULD BE "4 TO 6 WEEKS" BEFORE THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. IT IS NOW THE 6TH WEEK AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HERE CANNOT GIVE ME ANY IDEA AS TO WHEN THE PART WILL ACTUALLY ARRIVE. ALTHOUGH I APPRECIATE THE NHTSA'S ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE THROUGH RECALL, IF IN FACT PARTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE FURNISHED TO IMPLEMENT THE REMEDY IN A TIMELY FASHION, CONSUMERS ARE LEFT PAYING THE PRICE BY HAVING TO REFRAIN FROM HAVING ANY PASSENGERS SIT IN THE FRONT (A DEFINITE HARDSHIP WHEN ONE'S FAMILY CONTAINS ENOUGH PEOPLE TO FILL THE CAR). BECAUSE CONSUMERS ARE "ON NOTICE," LIABILITY IS PRESUMABLY REDUCED OR ELIMINATED FOR BOTH TAKATA AND TOYOTA, WHILE THEY FURTHER AVOID THE COST OF RECALL IMPLEMENTATION BY JUST HAVING THE PART "ON ORDER" IN PERPETUITY.

TAKATA RECALL- I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER -ARLINGTON TOYOTA- AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO REPLACE MY FRONT PASSENGER INFLATOR ASSEMBLY, SO I WILL HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL THE PART COMES IN.

TAKATA RECALL: I CONTACTED AUTO NATION TOYOTA IN CENTENNIAL, CO AT LEAST 4 WEEKS AGO TO GET THE "URGENT RECALL" REPAIRED. MY INITIAL CALL I WAS TRANSFERRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND FINALLY SENT TO A VOICEMAIL. AFTER A WEEK, MY CALL WAS NOT RETURNED, SO I AGAIN CALLED AND AFTER 15 MINUTES ON THE PHONE (THEY HAD TO FIND OUT WHAT THE RECALL WAS AND IF THEY HAD PARTS), I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND THEY WOULD ORDER THEM AND CALL ME WHEN THEY ARRIVED. ANOTHER WEEK PASSED AND I STILL HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY AUTONATION. I AGAIN CALLED AUTOMATION AND WAS AGAIN PUT ON HOLD FOR ABOUT 15 MIN BECAUSE THEY HAD NO INFORMATION THAT I HAD CALLED THE PREVIOUS TWO WEEKS. I WAS FINALLY TOLD AGAIN THAT THEY FOUND MY INFORMATION AND MY PARTS WERE ON ORDER AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THEY ARRIVED. ANOTHER WEEK PASSED SO I MADE MY FOURTH AND FINAL CALL. I WAS EVENTUALLY TRANSFERRED TO A VOICEMAIL AND I LEFT ANOTHER MESSAGE WITH ALL OF MY INFORMATION (VIN, NAME AND THAT I HAD CALLED 3 PREVIOUS TIMES ALREADY). THIS FINAL MESSAGE WAS ON FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 2016. AS OF TODAY, THURSDAY, APR. 28, 2016, I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A CALL FROM AUTO NATION TO REPAIR MY URGENT RECALL. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. ON APRIL 22, AFTER LEAVING THE FINAL MESSAGE WITH AUTONATION, I CONTACTED TWO OTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA AND BOTH AND THE PARTS AND WERE ABLE TO GET ME IN WITH JUST A FEW DAYS. IF AUTOMATION COULD NOT DO THE REPAIRS, THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THAT INITIALLY, INSTEAD THEY LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THEY WOULD DO IT, ALL THE WHILE WE ARE DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR AND FOUR WEEKS PASSED BY. DEFINITELY VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND NO CONSIDERATION FOR CONSUMERS SAFETY.

FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. POSSIBLY "TAKATA RECALL", THE LETTER I RECEIVED DIDN'T MENTION THAT. TODAY (4/15/2016) I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA. THE LETTER ISN'T DATED.

THIS IS THE FIRST AND, SO FAR, ONLY CORRESPONDENCE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED ON THIS. THE LETTER SAYS THAT "THEY ARE CURRENTLY PREPARING PARTS FOR MY LOCATION" -- BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY ALREADY HAD THE PARTS IN, AND HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THESE REPAIRS FOR SOME TIME. BUT THEN WHY THE HELL AM I JUST HEARING ABOUT IT NOW??? I FEEL LIKE TOYOTA AND THE DEALER (FRONTIER TOYOTA IN SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA) HASN'T REMEDIED THIS DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME.

WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FAULTY AIR BAGS & THAT THEY DID NOT DEPLOY IN A FRONTAL CRASH OF 30 MPH. THE GM OF THE DEALERSHIP & GM OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION & TO HAVE A TOYOTA CORP. REP. LOOK AT THE CAR TO DETERMINE WHY THE FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED TO TELL US THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD ONLY DEPLOY DURING A FRONT IMPACT, BUT THE CAR DID IN FACT SUSTAIN HEAVY DAMAGES DO TO THE IMPACT BUT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE IMPACT WAS SO GREAT THAT THE STEEL STABILIZER BAR WAS COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF. THAT ALONE SHOULD HAVE TRIGGERED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO THE NUMEROUS DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO THE FRONT END, MOTOR, RADIATOR & OTHER PARTS. WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE DEALER, MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER & TOYOTA TO FIND OUT WHY THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE DID NOT WORK AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA LE AT 55 MPH, I ENCOUNTERED A DEER AND WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH THE ANIMAL, ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19TH, 2011. THE COLLISION TOTALED THE VEHICLE, RESULTING IN NEARLY 11K DOLLARS IN DAMAGE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DURING THE ACCIDENT BECAME DISLODGED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL, AND FELL OUT INTO MY LAP. THE TWO TORQUE SCREWS USED TO HOLD IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO TOYOTA'S COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT AND FILED A FORMAL GRIEVANCE. A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE CAME OUT TO SEE THE VEHICLE AND INSPECT THE SCREWS, AND SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT AT FAULT AND THAT THE PROBLEM "HAD TO BE MY FAULT" AFTER COMPARING MY VEHICLE TO OTHER TOYOTA COROLLA VEHICLES, STATING THAT I OR SOMEONE ELSE "HAD TO OF REMOVED THE AIRBAG AT SOME TIME DURING THE VEHICLE'S LIFE". I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN JANUARY, 2011 FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER AND RECEIVED A VEHICLE HISTORY. AT NO TIME WAS THE AIRBAG REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED OR SERVICED, AND THE SCREWS REQUIRE A SPECIALIZED TORQUE SCREWDRIVER TO REMOVE. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, I HAD OWNED THE VEHICLE ONLY A MONTH, AND HAD NOT DRIVEN IT MORE THAN THREE TIMES, AS I OWN ANOTHER PRIMARY VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT, AND I HAVE SEVERAL WITNESS STATEMENTS SHOWING THAT THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY WAS NOT PROPERLY SECURED. HAD THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE IN MY LAP, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE ENTIRE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, CARRIAGE, CHARGE, AND WIRES CAME OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL ITSELF.

S10 APPROPRIATE HANDLING-MEMO TO THE SECRETARY FROM -PETITION FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO TOYOTA'S SAFETY SYSTEM FAILURES (FULL DOCUMENT NOT IMAGED) *TGW THE CONSUMER HIT A LARGE DEAR AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONSUMER STATED AS HE SAW THE DEER, HE IMMEDIATELY REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO SLOW DOWN, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND, SO HE TRIED TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED HE HAD BEEN DRIVING. THE CONSUMER APPLIED BOTH FEET TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN AN EFFORT TO STOP THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED. THE DEALER STATED A SENSOR WAS STUCK WHICH CAUSED IT TO FAIL. *JB

I WAS DECELERATING WITH MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THERE WAS A CAR AHEAD OF ME AT THE LIGHT, AND AS I PULLED UP BEHIND IT, I PUT MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN I HIT BRAKES, I FOUND THAT THE CAR WAS NOT STOPPING AND THAT THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING. I PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE, AND PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE UNTIL IT ENDED UP PUSHING ON THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I DID EVERYTHING I COULD THINK OF TO STOP THE CAR, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO UNTIL I TURNED THE KEY OFF. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE WERE NO INJURIES, AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY, NO TICKETS WERE ISSUED AND THE BUMPERS OF BOTH CARS WERE NOT DENTED, BUT HAD VERY DEEP SCRAPES ON THEM. THE MAT WAS HOOKED AT THE TIME AND WAS NOT INVOLVED AND I DIDN'T TOUCH THE GAS. I HAD MY HUSBAND FOLLOW ME TO MY DEALERSHIP, WHERE I ASKED THEM TO INSPECT THE CAR AND LET ME KNOW IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY REFUSED TO INSPECT IT AND REFERRED ME TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I DID THAT, BUT I ALSO TALKED TO TOYOTA'S SERVICE LINE IN CALIFORNIA AND THEY SAID THE BEST THEY COULD DO WAS ARRANGE FOR AN INSPECTION WITH RESULTS IN APPX 74 DAYS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAD AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTION, BUT ALL HE TOLD ME WAS THAT MY ACCELERATOR WAS NOT "CABLE". THE TOYOTA COMPANY TOLD ME I COULD GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE BODY WORK DONE AS LONG AS THE REPAIRS DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BRAKE OR THE IGNITION. POLICE WERE CALLED AT THE SCENE, BUT DID NOT MEET WITH US. *TR
