TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V286000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE RECALL PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
TOYOTA HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE A FIX FOR THEIR RECALL NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 15V043 SINCE JANUARY 2015. THIS IS WAY TOO LONG. THEIR NEW SOLUTION (MAILED TO US IN AUGUST 2015) IS TO AVOID SEATING ANYONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT - WHICH IS A RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE REQUEST. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS NOW. OTHER RELATED RECALLS: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 15V285
MY CAR HAS HAD A RECALL THAT ACCORDING TO TOYOTA THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION FOR. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET ANYONE TO TRAVEL WITH ME IN MY CAR DUE TO THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATING THAT THE SUB-WIRE HARNESS (FILTER) AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED. I DON'T HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF BUYING ANOTHER CAR AND SO I FEEL THAT MY LIFE IS IN DANGER AS WELL. ON 04-13-15 A NEW CASE WAS OPENED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE (CASE#1504132776). I LATER FOLLOWED UP AND SPOKE TO SABRINA (MANAGER AT THE TOYOTA LOCATED IN WEST COLUMBIA, SC IN JULY 2015. SHE ALSO SAID THAT NO REMEDY HAS BEEN RELEASED YET. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR SOMEONE TO GIVE URGENT CONSIDERATION TO MY CASE. I FEEL THAT I CANT EVEN SELL THIS CAR BECAUSE THIS RECALL LOWERS THE PRICE OF THE VEHICLE AND MY CONSCIENCE DOES NOT ALLOW TO PASS ON TO SOMEONE ELSE A DANGER LIKE THIS. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
I BELIEVE TOYOTA IS TAKING MUCH TOO LONG TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY HAZARD

THERE IS A REAL CONCERN THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS AND THERE ARE NO PARTS READILY AVAILABLE TO RESOLVE WHAT WE ARE BEING TOLD IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. FAMILIES ARE BEING TOLD TO NOT USE THE FRONT SEAT OF THEIR CARS. ANOTHER OPTION IS TO ASK THE DEALER FOR A LOANER. I DON'T SEE THE DEALER HAVING THAT MANY LOANER CARS. MOST FAMILIES ONLY HAVE ONE CAR AND IT NEEDS TO ACCOMMODATE THE MEMBERS, WHICH IS OUR SITUATION. WE ARE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE TIMELINESS OF THIS RESOLUTION.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, TELLING ME THAT THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (SRS ECU) HAS BEEN RECALLED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. (NHTSA RECALL ID 15V285) AT THAT TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE SRS ECU, BUT THAT I WOULD BE TOLD AT A LATER DATE WHEN THEY WERE AVAILABLE SO THAT I COULD HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. EARLIER THIS WEEK, I GOT ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. ALL THEY TOLD ME IN THIS NEWEST NOTICE IS THAT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND THAT PARTS ARE *STILL* NOT AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE SRS ECU. THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS TO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL I AM ABLE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FATHER TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT IN A MONTH. HE IS OVER 6 FEET TALL. I AM *NOT* GOING TO MAKE HIM SIT IN THE BACK SEAT BETWEEN TWO CHILD SEATS. I AM CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO MAKE HIM DRIVE HIMSELF AS HIS DOCTOR HAS INSISTED THAT HE HAVE A RIDE TO AND FROM HIS PROCEDURE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE THAT THEY HAVE *NO IDEA* WHEN THESE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND A FINE EXAMPLE OF POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. THESE PARTS NEED TO BE PRODUCED, TESTED, AND MADE AVAILABLE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

I AM TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR THIS AIR BAG RECALL. I FEEL THAT I AM DRIVING ON WING AND A PRAYER. I WILL HAVE TO INFORM ANY PASSENGER OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WOULD BE RIDING AT THEIR ON RISK. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED BY NOW. YOUR SHARHOLDERS SHOULD BE MORE INTERESTED IN SAVING LIVES THAN THE DIVIDENDS THEY RECEIVE.

A CAR CROSSED MY LANE FROM A PARKING LOT CAUSING ME TO "T-BONE" THE OTHER VEHICLE AT 40MPH. THE AIRBAG INFLATED WITH A HUGE FORCE AND NOISE, HITTING ME IN THE FACE, CHEST AND RIGHT ARM--KNOCKED ME OUT AND LEFT ME DAZED FOR A WHILE AFTER. THERE WAS WHAT I THOUGHT WAS WHITE SMOKE THAT FILLED UP THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER AREA. WHEN I GOT MY BELONGINGS OUT OF MY VEHICLE SEVERAL DAYS LATER, I NOTICED LITTLE BITS OF WHAT LOOKED LIKE SOME FLECKS OF DARK METAL OR PLASTIC ON THE FLOORBOARD AND PASSENGER SEAT. I SUSTAINED CONTUSIONS AND MULTIPLE ABRASIONS TO MY CHEST AND RIGHT ARM, TWO DISLOCATED RIBS, A TORN ROTATOR CUFF AND THREE BULGING CERVICAL DISKS. I HAD CONTUSIONS AND ABRASIONS ON MY KNEES.

I HAVE NOT YET HAD AN INCIDENT. BASED ON TOYOTA RECOMMENDATION, I DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE (INCLUDING DOGS, OR HEAVY OBJECTS) TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT (OR THE BACK SEAT). MY VEHICLE IS STILL POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FOR ME, THE DRIVER. I WOULD APPLY FOR AN ON/OFF SWITCH FOR THE AIRBAGS, BUT, IT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR. I WANT THAT AIRBAG DE-ACTIVATED. I NEED TO GET TO WORK, AND, I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN WAITING ALMOST 1 YEAR FOR A FIX TO THE EXPLODING AIRBAG. I AM ALSO WAITING FOR THE FIX TO THE BAD ELECTRONIC UNIT THAT COULD FIRE THE AIRBAG. HOW DO I GET YOUR PERMISSION TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE BY DE-ACTIVATING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG? I AM ALREADY CONSIDERING REMOVING THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT, MOUNTING IT ON THE ROOF, AND PARKING IT IN FRONT OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH DEATHTRAP PAINTED ALL OVER IT.
MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG SINCE JUNE 10, 2014, AND A REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH TOYOTA TWICE OVER THE PAST 3 WEEKS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO GIVE ME ANY TIMELINE ON WHEN A REMEDY MAY BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO LEAVE A CUSTOMER WITHOUT A SAFETY REMEDY FOR NEARLY ONE YEAR. IT IS EVEN MORE EGREGIOUS THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A TIMELINE OF ANY SORT ON WHEN A REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE.

I HAVE BEEN SENT TWO LETTERS FROM TOYOTA STATING THAT I HAVE A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG AND NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT. I HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR THIS TO BE CORRECTED. WHEN I CALL THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS THEY TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. THIS IS A TICKING BOMB READY TO EXPLODE AND TOYOTA IS NOT RESOLVING THE ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP PRESSURE THEM TO SPEED UP PRODUCTION ON THESE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY OCCURS. MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE ME IN THE ISSUE.
I HAVE REC'D 3 SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FOR SRS ECU AIR BAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT. I SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AND TOOK MY CAR INTO GREEN'S TOYOTA IN LEXINGTON,KY ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND TO "JUST NOT RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT". REC'D ANOTHER NOTICE TODAY AND WAS AGAIN ADVISED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

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.
