TAKATA RECALL BEEN WAITING FOR TOYOTA/SCION TO FIX AIRBAG PROBLEM SINCE SUMMER OF 2016. LAST TIME I TALKED TO THEM THEY SAID POSS JAN. JUST CALLED AGAIN JAN 24,2017. NOW THEY SAY THEY CANNOT GIVEN A TIME FRAME. HOW LONG ARE WE SUPPOSE TO WAIT? FEEL LIKE ITS AN INCONVENIENCE BECAUSE NO ONE CAN RIDE W ME IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHICH SEEMS RIDICULOUS WHEN ITS ONLY ME AND ONE OTHER PERSON IN THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED NOTICE OF THIS RECALL JUNE 2016, TOYOTA DEALER WE BOUGHT FROM STILL CANNOT MAKE REPAIRS/REPLACE AIRBAGS. IT IS A MAJOR DANGER AND INCONVENIENCE TO NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE. THEY AND TOYOTA SEEM UN-INTERESTED IN GETTING THIS DONE AND SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF USE. IF IT CANNOT BE REPPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER THEY SHOULD PROVIDE A LOANER OR REPLACEMENT VEHICLE.

THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA HAD BEEN RECEIVED IN MAY OF 2016. IT STATED THAT RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR. IT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO DANGER OF INFLATOR RUPTURE DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS RUPTURE CAN HAPPENED ANY TIME DUE TO DEGRADATION OF THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING TEMPERATURES. SEVEN MONTHS LATER THERE STILL NO REMEDY HAD BEEN ISSUED. I MADE TWO PHONE CALLS TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER CENTER. FIRST TIME IN OCTOBER 2016 AND SECOND IN JANUARY 2017 AND STILL DID NOT GET ANY REASONABLE ANSWERS ON WHEN THIS RECALL WOULD BE FIXED FOR OUR VEHICLE. OUR FAMILY JUST AS MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING EXTREME INCONVENIENCE DUE TO THIS RECALL AND TOYOTA HAS NOT SHOWED ANY EMPATHY AND/OR ABILITY OF TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT TAKES A VERY LONG AND UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.
I RECEIVE A RECALL LETTER FOR MY AIR BAG. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT FIVE MONTHS A GO AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR TOYOTA TO SEND ME A NOTIFICATION. I HAVE NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATION FROM THEM. I THINK THAT FIVE MONTH TO WAIT FOR THEM TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IS UNACCEPTABLE.
"TAKATA RECALL" THIS RECALL HAS BEEN UP SICE MAY, I AM CURRENTLY MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I CANT DRIVE SINCE I WORK FOR UBER AND LYFT. THEY HAVE YET TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. THIS IS REALLY MESSING ME UP FINANCIALLY, YET NO ONE CAN SEEM TO GIVE ANY ANSWERS. IM THINKING I SHOULD GET AN ATTORNEY.
TAKATA RECALL. RECALL DATE: MAY 23, 2016. AS OF DEC. 30, 2016, MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS CONDITION.
TAKATA RECALL....I CAN'T HAVE A PASSENGER IN FRONT SEAT DUE TO RECALL. IT HAS BEEN 8 MONTHS AND NEED TO RESOLVE.
TAKATA RECALL. NO REMEDY YET
ENGINE HAS USED A QUART OF OIL WHICH STARTED AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES
AIRBAG RECALL NO HELP OR FIX FROM MANUFACTURE ITS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS LETS GET IT TOGETHER TOYOTA
TAKATA RECALL MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET ADDRESSED ISSUE
TAKATA RECALL - RECALL NOTICE WAS ISSUED ON MAY, 23 2016 AND AS OF DECEMBER 10, 2016 NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS FAR BEYOND WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A TIMELY RESOLUTION TO SUCH A SEVERE SAFETY RISK.
TAKATA RECALL
TAKATA RECALL: PAX SIDE AIRBAG. NOTIFIED 6 MONTHS AGO. USE CAR INTERMITTENTLY TO TRANSPORT ELDERLY FATHER AND OBESE BROTHER, NEITHER OF WHOM CAN GET INTO THE REAR SEAT AREA. TOYOTA OFFERED A LOANER CAR, BUT WILL NOT GIVE ME A SIMILAR MODEL (THEY WANT TO GIVE ME A TINY COROLLA); AND, WILL REQUIRE ME TO TURN IN MY CAR. IF TURNED IN, I CAN'T GET MY CAR BACK UNTIL REPAIRED, AND, THEY WILL LEAVE IT OUTDOORS, EXPOSED TO HAIL AND SUN (TEXAS). THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM BEING DEPRIVED OF THE RIGHT TO USE MY CAR IN THE CUSTOMARY MANNER IN WHICH IT IS USED.
TAKATA RECALL. IF IT WASN'T FOR AN NBC NEWS REPORT ON THE PROBLEM I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THAT I WAS AT RISK. THERE HAS BEEN NO NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA/SCION. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHICH WAS LISTED AS A PRIORITY AREA BECAUSE OF THE HEAT.
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. QUALIFIED FOR WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. OIL CONSUMPTION TEST CONDUCTED THROUGH DEALERSHIPS IS RIGGED. I HAVE CHARGED THE OIL USAGE IN MY CAR FOR OVER 24 MONTHS AND IT BURNS THROUGH IN EXCESS OF A QUART EVERY 800 - 900 MILES.

WE WERE INFORMED OF THIS RECALL IN AUGUST OF 2016, AND WE WERE ADVISED NOT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. AS A FAMILY OF FOUR, THIS IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT. IT MEANS WE CAN NEVER HAVE AN EXTRA PASSENGER, AND IT MEANS THAT ONE ADULT IS ALWAYS CRAMMED IN THE BACK SEAT WITH TWO KIDS, EVEN ON LONG CAR TRIPS. WE HAVEN'T HEARD A WORD FROM TOYOTA SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE, AND WE'RE INCREASINGLY FRUSTRATED, IRRITATED, AND UNIMPRESSED. BY NOW, TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE 1. KEPT US UPDATED ABOUT FIXES, AND 2. OFFERED US A LOANER VEHICLE, SINCE OUR USE OF OUR CAR IS SO LIMITED BY THE RECALL.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE TO ADD TWO QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN EVERY OIL CHANGE AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL A QUART LOW WHEN IT'S CHANGED.

TAKATA RECALL WHY IS IT THAT I LIVE IN ZONE A AND MY FRIEND LIVES IN ZONE B (MARYLAND) AND HIS CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND I AM STILL WAITING WITH NO INFO AVAILABLE
I WAS SENT A LETTER SAYING I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT OF MY CAR. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR MY FAMILY TO USE THE VEHICLE. I WAS SOLD THE CAR BY NALLY IN ATLANTA IN FEBRUARY 2016 BUT WAS GIVEN NO NOTICE OF THE ISSUE AT THAT TIME. I WOULD LIKE MY CAR REPAIRED OR BOUGHT BACK OR REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL - MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I'VE BEEN TOLD NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED. I CALLED MY TOYOTA/SCION DEALER AND THEY HAVE NO DATE WHEN THE REPAIR CAN BE MADE BUT IT MAY BE MONTHS. SO MEANTIME I'M STUCK WITH A CAR WITH LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY SINCE I CAN'T CARRY A PASSENGER OR EVEN PUT HEAVY OBJECTS ON THE SEAT (AS THAT WOULD ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG). AND GIVEN THIS LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY AND AGE OF CAR, IF I TRIED TO SELL IT NOW, UNDER THIS RECALL, THE RESALE VALUE IS BEING HURT. I'M NOT SATISFIED WITH THE TIME IT IS GOING TO TAKE TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK TO NORMAL. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE TOYOTA ACT FASTER OR COMPENSATE US FOR THE INCONVENIENCE?
OIL CONSUMPTION. EVER SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS NEW I HAD TO ADD OIL SEVERAL TIMES IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. WHICH I THOUGH WAS "ODD" BUT WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT IT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO CONSUME OIL. GOT A LETTER CALLED WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM SAYS TO BRING CAR IN FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND IS CAR BURNS MORE THAN 1QT IN 1100-1300 MILES I WOULD GET IT REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY (NOT RECALL KEEP IN MIND). SO THE TEST SHOWED I BURNED 3/4 OF OIL IN 1300. I GET NOTHING FROM TOYOTA. NOT ENOUGH OIL CONSUMPTION FOR THEM TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND 3/4 IN 1300 MILES IS (A LOT) MEANS I HAVE TO ADD 4QTS OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IF INTERVALS ARE 5000 MILES. THAT IS RIDICULOUS!!! I AM BASICALLY DOING A OIL CHANGE MY SELF BY BURNING & ADDING BECAUSE 4QTS IS THE CAPACITY OF THIS CAR. TOYOTA SET THE STANDARD OF THIS TEST BEYOND REASONABLE ON PURPOSE. THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT WILL QUALIFY FOR ANY REPAIRS TO THE PISTON RINGS OR BLOCK WOULD BE PEOPLE THAT NEGLECTED THEIR ENGINES BY NOT ADDING OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND DAMAGING THE ENGINE MORE THAN THE GOOD GUY CONSTANTLY ADDING TO SAVE OUR CAR!!! TOYOTA IS NOT A GOOD COMPANY FOR REASONS LIKE THIS. I WILL STICK WITH HONDA IN THE FUTURE. HONDA DOES NOT PLAY THESE STUPID GAMES WITH PEOPLE. MY SCION HAS BEEN CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW AND TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT ISSUE SINCE THEY ISSUED A TSB ON IT AND FREE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. DUE TO THIS PROBLEM THIS CAR IS NOT A GOOD CAR TO OWN. I STRONGLY

TAKATA RECALL MY COMPLAINT IS THERE IS NO DATE AS TO WHEN THE DEFECT REGARDING THE TAKATA AIRBAGS WILL BE COMPLETED. THE RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION FROM TOYOTA IS TO NOT HAVE ANY ONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE. IS RIDICULOUS TO EXPECT MY FAMILY TO CONTINUE TO DO THIS FOR SOME UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE DONE NOW SO I CAN CONTINUE TO USE MY VEHICLE DRIVING MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AS I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DO WITHOUT FEAR OF POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH FROM THE AIRBAGS.
TAKATA RECALL: I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS RIGHT THAT THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM YET SINCE MY CAR CAN NOW ONLY HOLD 4 PEOPLE INSTEAD OF 5. IT IS AN INCONVENIENCE THAT I CANNOT HAVE A FRONT PASSENGER. THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE FIXED BY PROVIDING EVERYONE A SAFE RENTAL CAR UNTIL THERE CAN BE A SOLUTION TO THE UNSAFE CONDITIONS.

VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO LOCATION AND PARKED. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE, RESTARTED AND BEGAN TO PULL AWAY, STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL ASSIST IN THE STEERING DISAPPEARED MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. HAD TO HAVE STEERING ECM REPLACED.
ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED DURING DRIVING. POWER STEERING LIGHT REMAINS ACTIVATED.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
