2010 TOYOTA YARIS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. *AS THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE DID NOT REQUIRE THE AIRBAGS TO BE REPLACE, BUT CONSTANTLY RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA YARIS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V025000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

NOVEMBER 10, 2017 - I WAS T-BONED BY A MOTORIST (WHO RAN THE LIGHT) ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHILE ATTEMPTING A LEFT HAND TURN THRU AN INTERSECTION. THE 2010 TOYOTA YARIS I WAS DRIVING WAS TOTALED BY THE COLLISION ($8,266.72 OF DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE). THE YARIS SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE YARIS'S LEFT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS COLLAPSED INTO THE YARIS CABIN WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO BREAK MY SAMSUNG NOTE 4 PHONE DISPLAY & DAMAGE ITS INTERNAL SOLID STATE DRIVE. THE SAMSUNG NOTE 4 WAS ENCASED IN AN OTTER BOX AND ATTACHED TO MY LEFT HIP VIA OTTER BELT CLIP DURING THE TIME OF ACCIDENT. MY HEAD STRUCK A HARD SURFACE IN THE YARIS, RESULTING IN A LARGE HEMATOMA ON MY LEFT FRONTAL LOBE. TOYOTA INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THAT WITHIN THE SPAN OF 68 MILLISECONDS, THE LATERAL DELTA-V AIRBAG SENSOR WAS ACCELERATED FROM 0.0 MPH TO 11.1 MPH. YET THE SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. PER TOYOTA, SINCE THE SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS DEEMED IN PROPER WORKING ORDER AND DID NOT DESIGNATE THE COLLISION WARRANTED DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS, EVERYTHING FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. WHEN QUERIED WHAT THRESHOLD WAS REQUIRED TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS (NOTING THE INSTANTANEOUS LATERAL ACCELERATION OF A 2300+ LBS VEHICLE FROM 0 MPH TO 11 MPH WAS INSUFFICIENT), TOYOTA INSISTED I HIRE MY OWN ENGINEERS TO RESEARCH. TOYOTA'S UNWILLINGNESS TO ASSIST LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN COVERING UP A POTENTIAL FLAW IN THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM UTILIZED IN THE YARIS AND POTENTIALLY OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLE MODELS. TOYOTA'S CAVALIER REGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF TOYOTA CUSTOMERS POTENTIALLY PLACES MILLIONS OF TOYOTA CUSTOMERS AT RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

TAKATA RECALL WE HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 6 MONTHS FOR A REPAIR ON OUR RIGHT SIDE AIR BAG. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER TO A PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT SEAT WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE, THIS VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR DRIVER ONLY USE. I FEEL IT IS TAKING WAY TOO LONG FOR THE REPAIR TO TAKE PLACE. I DON'T FEEL LIKE TOYOTA OR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING ENOUGH TO GET THIS REPAIR COMPLETED. I LIVE IN A TROPICAL CLIMATE AND MY CAR IS SIX YEARS OLD BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS SHOULD PUT ME ON A PRIORITY LIST. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU AS TO WHAT IS BEING DONE TO HELP ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE TAKATA INFLATORS . I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE DE PASSENGER SEAT. EVERY TIME I GO FOR A CHANGE OIL, I ASKED THEM WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO REPLACE IT, AND THEY JUST ANSWER THAT THEY WILL SEND A LETTER TO LET ME KNOW. IT'S BEEN A WHILE AND HAVE NOT HEAR FROM THEM. IT'S SCARY TO DRIVE LONGER DISTANCES KNOWING THAT. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP ON THIS MATTER.

TAKATA RECALL IT'S BEEN MONTHS. WHAT IS THE DELAY? MILLIONS ARE BEING INCONVENIENCED BECAUSE SOMEONE ISN'T WILLING TO SPEND THE NECESSARY MONEY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. FINES ARE DEFINITELY IN ORDER AS WELL AS SOME FINANCIAL RECOMPENSE TO OWNERS FOR THE DELAY AND INCONVENIENCE.

TAKATA RECALL", TOYOTA HAS NOT YET PROVIDED A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL. MY CAR IS IMPACTED AND COULD BE A DANGER TO DRIVE.

AIRBAG RECALL IS OVER A YEAR OLD WITH NO REMEDY. ALSO MY ELECTRIC WINDOW IS SUBJECT TO RECALL WITH NO REMEDY. I WANT THESE FIXED - IT IS NOT SAFE.

IT HAS BEEN MONTHS SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THE BAGS ARE DEFECTIVE. LIVING IN THE TROPICS, I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY HAVE DONE A COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS AND IT IS CHEAPER FOR US TO DIE!

TAKATA RECALL, THIS RECALL FIX IS TALKING TOO LONG AND CAUSING AN INCONVENIENCE FOR MY FAMILY. SOMETHING THIS SERIOUS SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS LONG.

WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A PICKUP TRUCK GOING 40MPH WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. I WAS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT AT THE TIME. I WAS PROPELLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHERE MY RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER SIDE WAS HIT BY A SEDAN. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. CONTACTED TOYOTA WHO REVIEWED MY ACCIDENT PHOTOS, AND THEY CLAIM THE FRAME WAS NOT DAMAGED, SO THE AIRBAGS WOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED, BUT I DON'T BUY IT. THE BACK END, GLASS, BUMPER, ETC, WAS DESTROYED AND MY PASSENGER DOOR WAS COMPLETELY CAVED IN. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. I DON'T SEE ANY REASON THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND WAS HIT VERY HARD. I SUFFERED MAJOR BRUISING TO MY ARMS AND LEGS, NECK AND BACK PAIN, ALL REQUIRING SEVERAL DAYS OFF WORK. *TR

IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE SPRINGS USED FOR THE SEAT RAILS ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE SEAT RAILS OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THREE-DOOR MODELS MAY BREAK. CONSEQUENCES: IF THE SPRING BREAKS, THE SEAT MAY NOT LOCK IN POSITION. IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE SEAT COULD MOVE INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT. REMEDY: TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SEAT RAIL, AND REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE, IF NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED A NOTIFICATION SCHED TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 YARIS, 2008-2010 HIGHLANDER, AND 2009-2010 TACOMA, COROLLA, COROLLA MATRIX AND GENERAL MOTORS PONTIAC VIBE VEHICLES. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY CONTAINS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE HOUSED IN A SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, WHICH INCLUDES A FLEXIBLE FLAT CABLE (FFC). DUE TO THE SHAPE AND LOCATION OF THE FFC'S RETAINER, THE FFC COULD BECOME DAMAGED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. CONSEQUENCES: IF THE FFC IS DAMAGED, CONNECTIVITY TO THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE COULD BE LOST AND THE AIR BAG DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT TYPICALLY NECESSITATES DEPLOYMENT INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER. REMEDY: TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY THE TOYOTA VEHICLE OWNERS, AND GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOTIFY THE PONTIAC VIBE OWNERS. TOYOTA SENT OWNERS AN INTERIM NOTIFICATION LETTER IN MAY 2014 TO ADVISE OWNERS OF THE RECALL. TOYOTA WILL MAIL OWNERS A SECOND LETTER WHEN REMEDY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT YET PROVIDED A NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THE PONTIAC VIBE OWNERS. WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, FREE OF CHARGE. *TR
