The frame haas already been repaired, at the suggestion of my inspection mechanic. The whole frame is dangerously rusted. Now he says, “get rid of it—it’s dangerous to drive!” Another problem, the air bag fault light won’t stay off! Parts in the steering column have been replaced, to no avail! Toyota did that work. No one knows if my air bag will work or not!

IN MID DECEMBER, 2019, I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE SPARE TIRE DROPPED FROM UNDER MY 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA. FORTUNATELY, NO VEHICLES WERE BEHIND ME AT THE TIME. I WAS SO SURPRISED TO SEE THAT TIRE BOUNCING DOWN THE ROAD BEHIND ME! THAT SPARE TIRE HAD NEVER BEEN TAKEN FROM THE CARRIER. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A TOYOTA DEALER FOR INSPECTION/RECALL IN EARLY FEBRUARY. THEY SAID THE CORROSION ON THE CROSS-MEMBER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER CORROSION ISSUE CAUSING THE TIRE TO DROP WAS ONLY FOR RECALLS ON THE TACOMA MODELS, I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS A TOYOTA MANUFACTURING SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE?

I WAS IN MOTION AND DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT. AFTER THE COLLISION, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE TAKATA AIRBAG WAS REPLACED BY THE AUTO MANUFACTURER (TOYOTA DEALERSHIP) PRIOR TO MY ABOVE MENTIONED ACCIDENT. THE AUTO ACCIDENT OCCURRED FOR UNKNOWN REASONS, POSSIBLY BRAKE FAILURE OR UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION OF THE CAR ENGINE.

I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE A FEW YEARS AGO AND EVERYTIME I WOULD CALLED TO GET REPLACED AS PROMISED THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY AIRBAGS TO REPAIR AND CLAIM IT WASN'T THAT BIG OF A DEAL YOU JUST COULDN'T HAVE A PASSENGER IN YOUR CAR AND EVENTUALLY THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE FAULTY AIRBAG. I JUST LOOKED UP INFORMATION AGAIN ON MY TRUCK AND NOW IT'S NOT EVEN SHOWING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY WAS SO I DON'T KNOW IF SINCE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE IT IT'S NOT A VALID RECALL OR WHY THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE RECALL BECAUSE I THINK IT'S FUNNY TO NOT ENFORCE RECALLS IF THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO. NOTHING HAPPENED BECAUSE I TURNED OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S FAULTY OR WHAT BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT IS MY POINT AND REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN THE RECALL WAS BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY A FEW YEARS AGO I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES TO TOYOTA AND ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS YET I THINK THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REINVESTIGATED

TAKATA INFLATORS - I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM YOU...... COMPLAINT # 10948526 SERVICEMAN WAS WORKING ON THE AIR BAG ON MY TRUCK AND SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS ISN'T A WARRANTY PROBLEM, THE SERVICEMAN MADE A MISTAKE AND CAUSED THE AIR BAD BAG LIGHT COME ON.

TAKATA RECALL - I GOT THE RECALL AND WENT TO MY DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT, 4-01-14, (59,317MILES) GOT ANOTHER RECALL TO REPLACE THE INFLATOR AIR BAG PART (3-13-15). THE AIR BAG CHECK LIGHT CAME ON AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER (3-31-2015). I CAME BACK AND SHOWED THEM THE CHECK LIGHT ON FOR THE AIR BAG. THE SERVICEMAN COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I WAITED ABOUT AN HOUR AND HALF FOR THEM TO FIX THE CHECK LIGHT PROBLEM. THIS RECALL STARTED WHILE MY TRUCK WAS STILL WARRANTY. THE DEALER SAID I'M OUT OF WARRANTY BACK IN 3-31-15 WHEN I SHOWED THEM THE CHECK LIGHT AND I TOLD THEM IT HAPPENED WHEN THE SERVICEMAN REPLACED THE TAKATA INFLATOR. I'M NOT GOING TO PAY FOR ANY OF THIS, THEY PROBABLY JUST LEFT A WIRE OFF. I'VE BEEN DRIVING MY TRUCK SINCE THEN AND I'M AFRAID THE AIR BAG WILL EXPLODE ANYTIME OR WHEN I HIT A BUMP. I NEED A GOOD DEALER TO FIX IT AND PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR IF I NEED IT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER AND THEY SAID, " ....OH, YOUR WERE OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN THEY INSTALLED IT..". ARE THESE PEOPLE STUPID OR WHAT????? *TR

WE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER TWICE AND THE NATIONAL TOYOTA NUMBER ONCE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST 6 WEEKS. WE ARE HAVING THE AIRBAG DISABLED BY THE DEALER ON THE 12TH. WE WERE TOLD NOT TO HAVE ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (EVEN AFTER THEY DISABLE THE AIRBAG) BUT SINCE OUR FAMILY HAS 5 PEOPLE AND THERE ARE 5 SEATS IN OUR ONLY VEHICLE, WE WILL HAVE TO PUT SOMEONE THERE AT SOME POINT. WE WERE NOT OFFERED A RENTAL CAR TO MITIGATE THE RISK NOR ANY OTHER FEASIBLE SOLUTION. *TR

WE HAVE RECEIVED TWO SAFETY NOTICES ABOUT THE RECALL OF OUR VEHICLE FOR FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. THE SAFETY NOTICES ARE NOT DATED, HOWEVER IT HAS BEEN AT LEAST 4 MONTHS SINCE RECEIVING. WHEN TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER, WE WERE TOLD THEY DO NOTHAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR PER RECALL NOTICE. WE WERE TOLD AT THAT TIME, WE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR A THIRD NOTICE. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY TO CONTINUE TO SEND OUT RECALL NOTICES AND NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE WORK REQUIRED, LET ALONE THE SAFETY FACTOR. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, OWNERS NOTIFIED AND 6 MONTHS LATER, HERE WE SIT. *TR

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA, FOR MY VEHICLE, DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY TOYOTA TO MAKE THE REPAIR AT THIS TIME. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AT 1-888-270-9371 TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD THE REMEDY NOTICE WAS SENT TO ME BY MISTAKE AND THAT ONLY CERTAIN STATES WERE INCLUDED, FOR A NO CHARGE REMEDY, DUE TO LIMITED PARTS AVAILABLE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT ALL STATES ARE NOT CURRENTLY REPAIRING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS "THERE IS A RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. *TR

MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING NORTH ON HWY 49 FROM OAKHURST TO MARIPOSA, CALIFORNIA. THE HIGHWAY SURFACE WAS WET AND SLICK AS WE HAD JUST EXPERIENCED OUR FIRST RAIN OF THE SEASON. OUR TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK WENT INTO A SKID ON A CURVE, CLIMBED AN EMBANKMENT AND ROLLED ONE FULL TURN TO THE LEFT. WE HIT A MANZANITA TREE AND A FENCE BEFORE COMING TO A STOP AND ROLLING. THE AIRBAGS WERE EXAMINED BY TOYOTA 9-24-2013 IN RESPONSE TO A RECALL AND WERE CLEARED . IN THE ACCIDENT THEY DID NOT DEPLOY. MY WIFE AND I EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS INJURIES INCLUDING BROKEN RIBS, COLLARBONE AND SEVERE WHIPLASH. WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS AND ARE STILL RECOVERING FROM THESE INJURIES AND DEALING WITH OUR INSURANCE COMPANY. WE WROTE TO TOYOTA 5-21-2014 TO REPORT THIS AIRBAG FAILURE.

THEY COULD NOT SAY HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE OR WHAT COULD BE WRONG BUT WERE INSISTENT THAT IS WAS NOT RELATED TO SAFETY RECALL. NOW I AM WITHOUT AN AIRBAG AND THEY WON'T FIX IT. THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!!! HOW COULD IT NOT BE RELATED TO THE RECALL? *TR

I AM DRIVING WITHOUT AIRBAG SAFETY BECAUSE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM THEY QUOTED ME $85 TO CHECK IT OUT AND AROUND $1000 TO FIX. ON 09/03/2013, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR URGENT SAFETY RECALL TO CORRECT AIRBAG DEFECT. I MENTIONED THE AIRBAG LIGHT AGAIN. I WAS ADVISED THE AIRBAG RECALL WILL CORRECT MY PROBLEM AND THE LIGHT WILL GO AWAY. I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL ON. TOYOTA ADVISED ME THAT THE TROUBLE IS THE CENTER AIRBAG MODULE. I ASKED THEM IF THE AIRBAGS WILL ENGAGE ON IMPACT. TOYOTA SAID THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH THIS LIGHT ON. WHY DID I WASTE MY TIME TAKING MY VEHICLE TO TOYOTA TO CORRECT AN AIRBAG DEFECT AND TO LEAVE WITH AN AIRBAG DEFECT? TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE CORRECTED THIS ISSUE A LONG TIME AGO WHEN THIS WAS UNDER WARRANTY.*JB

I WAS IN A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT THAT INVOLVED BOTH OF MY BUMPERS, THE FRONT BUMPER WAS COMPLETELY REMOVED. I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AT A FASTER SPEED THAN I WAS GOING AND I WAS PUSHED INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME (ANOTHER TUNDRA ONLY A 2004). I HAD OVER $8,000 IN DAMAGE AND I SUFFER FROM CERVICAL/NECK/SPINE INJURY AND SPRAINED RIGHT FOOT. I AM IN PHYSICAL THERAPY AND NEED AN MRI, AS I AM NOT HEALING AS I SHOULD BE.
