"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE ENTERING THE RAMP TO GET ON THE EASTEX FWY. (IH 59) NORTH BOUND, I OBSERVED THAT UP AHEAD OF ME A VEHICLE WAS IN A COMPLETE STOP WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. I TRIED TO SWITCH LANES BUT I HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE TO MY LEFT WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO SWITCH LANES. I THEN RAN INTO THE BACK OF THE OTHER CAR WHICH CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. AFTER COLLIDING WITH THE STOPPED VEHICLE, I WAS THRUST FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY CAR. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO PREVENT MY FACE, HEAD, AND UPPER BODY FROM CRASHING INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT WINDSHIELD OF MY CAR.

SINCE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG RECALL, I HAD CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA NUMEROUS TIME TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, THEY TAKE MY INFO AND PROMISE TO EMAIL ME OR CALL BACK WITH THE NEXT AVAIL. APPOINTMENT, HOWEVER WE NEVER HEAR BACK, AND STILL NO RESOLUTION TO FIXING THE AIRBAG.

TAKATA RECALL THE TAKATA RECALL WEBSITE LISTS, AMONG OTHER VEHICLES, 2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIAS. I HAVE ONE OF THESE. HOWEVER, WHEN I PUT MY VIN INTO THE ONLINE SYSTEM, IT INDICATES NO RECALLS. I NEED SPECIFIC ASSURANCE THAT I DO NOT NEED TO ADDRESS THIS RECALL, PLEASE, SINCE THERE MAY BE A DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE ONLINE RECALL-CHECKING SERVICES AND THE TAKATA-RELATED WEBSITE. THANKS.

TAKATA RECALL, THE TIME THAT IT IS TAKING TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION TOYOTA HAS IS NOT SUFFICIENT. 1 PAY FOR THE AIRBAGS AND SUBMIT A REIMBURSEMENTS CLAIM, 2 DON'T USE THE PASSENGER SEAT. STATING THAT THEY ARE UP TO 2002 FOR THIS MODEL IS A GREAT INCONVENIENCE WHEN PURCHASING A VEHICLE FOR ITS SUPPOSED SAFETY FEATURES.

RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL FOR FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MAY 2015; TOYOTA HAS STILL NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED NO USE OF FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF SAFETY. IT IS NOW ~8 MONTHS LATER AND NO RESOLVE. ALSO, TAILGATE WIPERS, WINDOW AND WIPER FLUID SYSTEM NOT OPERATIONAL (SINCE 2008) DESPITE ALL GOOD FUSES IN 4 COMPARTMENTS.

MY VEHICLE IS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN ARIZONA A FEW YEARS AGO, AND I LIVE IN SAN DIEGO, CA. I HAVE A VACATION HOME IN BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, MEXICO. I KEEP THE TOYOTA SEQUOIA AT THAT HOME IN MEXICO, ABOUT 900 MILES FROM CALIFORNIA. THERE IS A TOYOTA DEALER IN SAN JOSE DEL CABO WHO COULD MAKE THE REPAIR. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE 1800 MILES ROUND TRIP TO THE USA IN ORDER TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE IN THE USA. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO ALLOW ITS DEALER IN SAN JOSE DEL CABO TO MAKE THE REPAIR. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU TO REQUIRE TOYOTA TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE PURCHASED IN THE UNITED STATES BY A U.S. CITIZEN IN MEXICO.

TOYOTA IS RECALLING PASSENGER AIRBAGS DUE TO FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAG IN WHICH METAL FRAGMENTS MAY DEPLOY WITH THE AIR BAG. OUR VEHICLE IS ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES AND I RECEIVED NOTICE IN JUNE/JULY 2015 WITH A RECOMMENDATION NOT TO HAVE ANY PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IT IS NOW OCT. AND NO REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS HAVE YET BEEN MADE AVAILABLE. THIS IS OUR PRIMARY VEHICLE AND MONTHS HAVE PASSED WITHOUT RESOLUTION OF THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY AND MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM IN A SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE INVOLVING PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SHRAPNEL UPON ACTIVATION. TOYOTA RECOMMEND NO ONE RIDE IN PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL REPAIRED. AFTER MAKING NUMEROUS CALLS ABOUT FOLLOWUP, NO SOLUTION WAS FORTHCOMING. NO TIMELINE WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR (THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY)!!! THAT WAS ALMOST 4 MO. AGO AND STILL NO INFO. FROM TOYOTA. I CALLED TOYOTA AGAIN TODAY (10/6/2015) AND THE STORY WAS THE SAME EXCEPT A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE DID STATE THE AIR BAG COULD POSSIBLY ACTIVATE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT IMPACT. TOYOTA STATED IN THEIR RECALL THAT THE SHRAPNEL COULD CAUSE FATAL INJURIES TO OCCUPANTS!!!! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS BEING DONE TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS WHO OWN THESE POTENTIAL DEATH TRAPS????? THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR MONTHS BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE!!!! I DID READ THAT TOYOTA WAS OFFERING 35$ FOR RENTAL CAR SERVICES BUT NOTHING WAS SAID ABOUT THAT IN MY RECALL LETTER. AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAD SUED TOYOTA OVER THIS. BUT WHAT ABOUT US, THE OWNERS OF THESE POTENTIAL TIME BOMBS??? WHO'S HELPING US???????? THANK YOU *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN AUGUST STATING THERE IS A DEFECT IN MY PASSENGER AIR BAG. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO PUT A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. IT'S OCTOBER AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND NEED ALL MY SEATS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I NEED ALL MY PASSENGER SEATS.

IN EARLY AUGUST I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG BEING UNSAFE IN OUR 2006 SEQUOIA. APPARENTLY THIS RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE JUNE 2015 SO I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT WE WEREN'T NOTIFIED UNTIL EARLY AUGUST. THE RECALL NOTICE RECOMMENDS THAT WE DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL TOYOTA HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, TOYOTA IS TAKING AN EXCESSIVELY LONG TIME TO PROVIDE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR. IT IS NOW AUGUST 31 AND THERE IS STILL NO DEFINITIVE DATE SET FOR REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. FURTHER, TOYOTA IS PROVIDING ONLY UP TO $35/DAY REIMBURSEMENT FOR A LOANER VEHICLE -- WHICH COVERS ONLY A THIRD TO HALF OF WHAT IT COSTS TO RENT A VEHICLE OF COMPARABLE SIZE TO OUR SEQUOIA. THIS IS UNFAIR AND A BIG INCONVENIENCE TO OUR FAMILY. I UNDERSTAND THAT PARTS AVAILABILITY CAN TAKE TIME - BUT AT LEAST PROVIDE US WITH A COMPARABLE REPLACEMENT CAR AT NO CHARGE.

I AM PART OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG RECALL FOR 2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIAS. AS A CONSUMER, I HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG FOR ALMOST 12 MONTHS AND I AM JUST NOW RECEIVING A LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT IT. ALL THE LETTER SAYS IS THAT TOYOTA IS TRYING TO FIND PARTS WITH NO FURTHER INFORMATION OR DATE WHEN THE AIRBAG WILL BE REPLACED. IN THE MEANTIME, TOYOTA ASKS ME NOT TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS NEGLIGENTLY STRETCHED THE RECALL NOTICE LONG PAST WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST DISCOVERED. TOYOTA STILL DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND THE RECALL LETTER SETS NO TIMETABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE REMEDY IS WOEFULLY INADEQUATE TO NOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I KNOW THE US GOVERNMENT HAS SUED OVER THIS AIRBAG ISSUE. WHEN DOES THE ACTUAL CONSUMER BENEFIT FROM A SUITABLE REMEDY?
