I HAVE BEEN TO OUR LOCAL TOTOTA DEALER AND CALLED MANY TIMES REGARDING THE RECALL FOR AIR BAG. THEY WILL NOW NOT RETURN MY CALL. MY FIRST VISIT WAS O3 MARCH 2015. I WAS TOLD PARTS WOULD BE IN AS EARLY AS THE NEXT WEEK. I HAVE ONLY 53000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT. ONE PERSON THERE SAID NOT TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT WAS FIXED AND ANOTHER SAID NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. NEITHER OF THESE OPTIONS ARE SATISFACORY. CAN YOU PLEASE ADVISE AND HELP ME. THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED. DURING THE INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A CRASH OR DID NOT SUDDENLY STOP. THE DRIVER SUFFERED AN INJURED BACK AND NECK. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 210,000.

ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 124,000 MILES, AND ONLY 3 YEARS LATER, AND 25,000 MILES LATER, IT NOW NEEDS ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. NOT THE DEPENDABILITY I WAS EXPECTING. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE SAME THING OCCURRED; ALTHOUGH IT WENT OUT ON ME A LOT FASTER THE SECOND TIME AROUND. I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND EVERY TIME I ACCELERATED, UNTIL IT FINALLY WENT OUT ON ME AND LOCKED UP BOTH TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON A SIDE STREET, AND IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS APPROACHING RED LIGHT (AND ONLY REVERSE WORKED, SO I WAS ABLE TO REVERSE IT INTO A GAS STATION NEARBY). THE SECOND TIME WAS A BIT MORE SCARY (AND I'M PISSED OFF ABOUT THIS EVEN MORE, NOW THAT I'M READING EVERYONE ELSE'S STORY, BECAUSE I COULD'VE BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT). I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY (IN THE 3RD LANE IN) WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BUCKED (JERKED BACK) ON ME. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE FREEWAY WITHIN 5-7 SECONDS (THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO), WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT COMPLETELY FROZE/SEIZED/LOCKED UP ON ME AND PROCEEDED TO SKID OUT ABOUT 15 FEET ALONG THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY ONLY A SECOND OR TWO AFTER GETTING OFF. THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT, THE MORE I AM THANKFUL THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER SO QUICKLY OR IT COULD'VE BEEN DISASTROUS. NEVERTHELESS, I JUST GOT IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. I AM PRINTING OUT ALL THE LINKS/FORUMS/ARTICLES THAT I HAVE FOUND ABOUT THIS VERY SPECIFIC PROBLEM WITH THIS VERY SPECIFIC YEAR AND MODEL (WITH ONLY MANUAL TRANSMI

THIS CAR IS NOW 12 YEARS OLD WITH TWO ACTIVE RECALLS INVOLVING SRS AND AIRBAG SYSTEM. TOYOTA KEEPS MODIFYING RECALL IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SCHEME TO RESET THEIR "REASONABLE" TIME CLOCK. IT IS APPARENT THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH OF THE REPLACEMENT SYSTEMS TO INSTALL IN NEW CARS, YET THERE IS A CONTINUOUS DELAY IN REPAIRING THE OLDER AUTOS NOW ON THE ROAD. ATTRITION IS NOT A FIX, AND THE VALUE OF MY CAR IS DOWN WITH THE CURRENT REMEDY OF "DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO USE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT", AND MY SAFETY IS BEING COMPROMISED. BY ANY SENSIBLE SCALE, TOYOTA'S "REASONABLE TIME" TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION HAS LONG PASSED. MODIFYING THE RECALL SHOULD NOT RELIEVE MANUFACTURERS OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, A LOUD BOOMING NOISE SUDDENLY EMITTED FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT AREA. AFTER STOPPING AND INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELTS RETRACTED AND COULD NOT BE USED.

I RECEIVED 2 SAFETY RECALLS WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS OF EACH OTHER HAVING TO DO WITH AIRBAGS DEPLOYING WITHOUT WARNING AND PIECES EXPLODING WITH DEPLOYMENT. I CHECKED THE RECALL DATES AND ONE WAS DATED JUNE OF 2014, THE OTHER JANUARY OF 2015. BOTH SUGGEST IT IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE PEOPLE SITTING IN THE SEAT AND BOTH HAVE SUGGESTED THAT A REMEDY IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR AT THIS TIME. THE TOYOTA DEALERS HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THERE WILL BE A REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR. WHAT EXACTLY DOES TOYOTA EXPECT ME TO DO - BUY A NEW CAR AND LET THIS ONE SIT? TOYOTA IS USING THE LANGUAGE IN THE RECALL TO TRY TO COVER THEIR BEHIND IF SOMEONE GETS HURT. I'M SORRY, BUT THAT IS BS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA PRODUCT AGAIN AND I WILL MAKE SURE EVERYONE I KNOW HEARS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT. LET ME KNOW WHEN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GETS STARTED. I'LL SIGN UP IMMEDIATELY. *TR

TOYOTA AIRBAGS WERE IDENTIFIED AS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN BAGS DEPLOY THEY COULD RELEASE METAL SHRAPNEL. THE PROBLEM IDENTIFIED IN 2014 AND TOYOTA CANNOT GET PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY RECOMMEND NO ONE TRAVEL IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE CAR UNTIL THE FIX CAN BE MADE. NOT USING THE FRONT SEAT ( 25% OF THE CAPACITY OF THE VEHICLE ) FOR OVER A YEAR ( AND NO KNOWN DATE FOR A FIX SO THIS COULD GO FOR SEVERAL YEARS ) IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I ALSO SUGGESTED THE DISCONNECT THE AIRBAG SO I COULD USE THE SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT DO. ( MARK MOTORS, STEVENS POINT, WI ). THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE AS I MAY AS WELL PARK THE CAR IF 25% OF SEATING CAPACITY CANNOT BE USED DUE TO TOYOTA'S NEGLIGENCE. THEY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OWNERS IF THEY CANNOT FIX THEIR PROBLEM WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD ( I WOULD SUGGEST 1 MONTH AT MOST ). *TR

IN THE MEANTIME I FOUND [XXX] THE TECH AND HE FOUND THE ECD CONNECTOR (E8) NOT FULLY SEATED (LOCKED) - NOT THIS IS AFTER THE RECALL BY CAMELBACK TOYOTA AND THEN I STILL HAD THE PROBLEMS OF THE CAR LURCHING, GOING INTO NEUTRAL AND LOOSING MY SPEEDOMETER SO [XXX] THE TECH CAME BACK AND WE SPEND APPROXIMATELY 8 HOURS CHECKING OUT THE INSTRUMENT CHANNEL AND GUESS WHAT WE FOUND (DONE BY CAMELBACK TOYOTA) - FIRST HE LOOKED AT THE WIRING UNDER MY DASH AND SAID "THIS IS NOT FACTORY" AND THEN WE FOUND 6 ZIP TIES HOLDING THE WIRES GOING INTO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BOX AND AGAIN HE STATED THIS IS NOT FACTORY.

IN 9/2007 THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH WENT OUT ON MY MANUAL 2003 COROLLA. CONVENIENTLY, IT WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I SPENT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF $ REPAIRING. AGAIN, IN MARCH 2015 THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH ARE GOING OUT ON MY MANUAL VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND NUMEROUS OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE 2003 MANUAL COROLLA THAT WAS APPARENTLY FIXED IN THE 2004 VERSION. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA SEVERAL TIMES. THEY WILL DO NOTHING. THEY TOLD ME TO EMAIL THE NHTSA AND YOUR AGENCY WOULD DETERMINE A RECALL. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE PUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE RECALL LIST. I (AND NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS) HAVE BEEN STRANDED ALONG THE HIGHWAY AND IT IS NOT SAFE! *TR

TOYOTA'S REPAIR ESTIMATE OF 6 -12 MONTHS FOR A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE IS UNREASONABLE GIVEN TOYOTA'S WARNING AGAINST HAVING A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER UNTIL A FIX IS MADE. TOYOTA HAS OFFERED NO SOLUTION OR COMPROMISE AND CONTINUES TO ADVISE AGAINST HAVING A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. FURTHER, THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT CONSIDERED THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER IN THE RECALL IS UNCONSCIONABLE. IN JAN 2015, I RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA A D3F-1 RECALL NOTICE REGARDING FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE WHICH WARNED AGAINST OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. ON 02 FEB 2015 SANSONE TOYOTA ADVISED THAT PARTS WERE DUE IN THREE WEEKS. ON 06 MAR 2015 SANSONE ADVISED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WOULD ARRIVE BUT IN THE INTERIM IT WAS SAFE TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. ON 19 MAR 2015 SANSONE SCHEDULED MY CAR FOR AN AIRBAG INSPECTION ON 23 MARCH BUT FAILED TO PERFORM SAME. INSTEAD, SANSONE AGAIN ADVISED IT WAS SAFE TO HAVE A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER - PROVIDED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WENT OFF AFTER STARTING THE CAR. NOT SATISFIED, ON 24 MAR 2015 I CALLED TOYOTA HQ. "[XXX]" ADVISED THAT PARTS WOULD NOT BE IN BEFORE MID-2015 AND REGARDLESS OF WHAT SANSONE SAID TOYOTA DOES NOT RECOMMEND HAVING A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER UNTIL THE FIX IS MADE. I APPEALED AND [XXX] REFERRED ME TO "[XXX]." I ADVISED [XXX] THAT I WAS AFRAID TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM.
