TAKATA RACALL AIRBAG

I AM TRYING TO LOCATE A DEALER IN THIS AREA AND TRYING TO FIND OUT IF I HAVE OUTSTANDING RECALLS, I NEED TO KNOW IF MY AIR BAGS WERE PART OF THE RECALL. I VISITED A DEALER AND HAD ONE RECALL FIXED, THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO CALL ME ON ANOTHER AND NEVER HEARD FROM THEM.

I ONLY HAVE 44,000 MILES ON MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA AND THE AIR COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. I HAVE READ THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN NUMEROUS COROLLAS FROM THE SAME YEAR. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND RECALLED OR I WILL SELL MY CAR AND NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN. I WILL ALSO POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT TOYOTA'S NEGLIGENCE AND MISTREATMENT OF CUSTOMERS. I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT NEEDS AIR CONDITIONING, SO I AM VERY UPSET OVER THIS ISSUE. IT IS NOT JUST AN "INCONVIENENCE" AS IT WAS CALLED BY TOYOTA'S "CUSTOMER SERVICE". PLEASE SORT THIS ISSUE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2005 BRAND NEW ZERO MILEAGES ON IT. IT IS TOYOTA COROLLA 2005. MY ORIGINAL COLOR OF THE CAR HOOD IS COMING OUT. IT STARTS COMING OFF. I THINK IT HAD PAINT DEFECT. PAINT IS COMING OFF AND THE CART HOOD HAS BEEN ROUGH AT ALL SIDES. THE ORIGINAL COLOR IS GRAY AND NOW LOOKS AT SCRAPPING AT ALL THE CAR HOOD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT DO TO BECAUSE IT LOOKS UGLY AND I NEVER WANTED MY CAR TO BE LIKE THIS. THE VEHICLE IT'S IN NORMAL FUNCTION AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN IN HOUSE CARPORT.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM COLEMAN TOYOTA (10400 AUTO PARK AVE, BETHESDA, MD 20817 (301) 469-7100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN INOPERATIVE AIR BAG CIRCUIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS RESET. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V285000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALERS (JIM COLEMAN TOYOTA, 10400 AUTO PARK AVE, BETHESDA, MD 20817 (301) 469-7100 AND KOONS ARLINGTON TOYOTA, 4045 LEE HWY, ARLINGTON, VA 22207 (703) 522-6000) WERE CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,254. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL FOR MY AIR BAG. THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON THEN IT WILL GO OFF AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS. THE LIGHT COME ON WHEN YOU START THE CAR. AFTER EVERYONE HAS PUT ON THEIR SEAT BELTS, THE LIGHT REMAINS ON, ON THE DASHBOARD. BELOW I HAVE SOME PICTURES.

TAKATA RECALL: THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS NOW ON. ALSO, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST SIX TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER, 2008. THE FIRST TWO OR THREE WERE REPLACED WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING ANOTHER THREE TO FOUR TIMES THEREAFTER AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE LAST TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARING WAS IN DECEMBER, 2016, WHILE ON VACATION. IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM JUST HASN'T BEEN PERMANENTLY SOLVED. SO FRUSTRATING AND EXPENSIVE FOR ANOTHER WONDERFUL VEHICLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" NO INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED YET.

IT TOOK WAY TOO LONG FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PARTS AND CALL US FOR THE REPAIR, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS NERVOUS FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.

TAMARA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL MY SON HIT BY INFLATED DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG ON 18TH DEC2014 AT UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON RESULTED DUE TO PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HIT THE CURB RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD CURB . THIS MAY HAPPEN DUE TO PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE BLEW AFTER HITTING THE CURB ( GUESS) BECAUSE CAR PASSENGER END STRUT TOUCHED THE CURB AND GOT DAMAGED . IT ALSO DAMAGED THE FIRE WALL . THE CAR WAS WITH NORMAL IN CAMPUS SPEED 25 MPH . TIRES WERE NEW & HAD REPLACED JUST THREE MONTHS BEFORE ACCIDENT . POLICE CALLED 911 & HE HAS BEEN TRANSPORTED TO ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL , DOWNTOWN - HOUSTON DUE TO SEVER INJURIES DUE TO AIR BAG INFLATE . I WAS SHOCKED DUE TO DEEP CUT ON HIS FOREHEAD , FEW FACIAL CUTS & FRACTURED NOSE . I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CENTER IN FIRST WEEK ON JAN 2015 TO INFORM ABOUT AIR BAG INJURY & INVESTIGATE PROBABLE CAUSE , BUT THEY DENIED AND TOLD ME SUCH INJURY CAN TAKE PLACE DUE AIR BAG IMPACT . MY INTENTION WAS TO AVOID SUCH INJURIES TO ALL OTHERS BUT NO POSITIVE RESPONSE I RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA . IN 1ST WEEK OF JULY 2017 , I RECEIVED THE NOTICE ABOUT RECALL OF AIR BAG AT MY PREVIOUS RESIDENT ADDRESS . AFTER READING THE NOTICE , I GOT SHOCKED BECAUSE OF TOYOTA'S STAND IN 2015 . I CALLED TOYOTA & ASKED THEM TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER BUT THE CASE MANGER INFORMED THAT THE RECALL IS ASSOCIATED WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG & NOTHING TO DO DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG . ATTACHED CASE NUMBER & LETTER FOR YOUR REFERENCE . I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM , NEED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE . CAR IS STILL RUNNING WITHOUT DRIV

CAR APPEARED TO BE RUNNING FINE. WENT TO GET A SMOG, " CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ON, AS A RESULT I FAILED SMOG. CODE REVEALED WAS PO741( TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE OR STUCK OFF) UPON VEHICLE INSPECTION FROM CANAL TRANSMISSION IN EL CAJON, CA. OWNER REVEALED THAT HE HAD COME ACROSS THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 10 TIMES WITH TOYOTA COROLLAS. HE REVEALED THAT EACH TIME HE TRIED TO FIX TORQUE CONVERTER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD STILL REMAIN WITH SAME CODE AFTER REPAIR. HE SAID THEY FINALLY REALIZED THAT IT WAS AN ECM ISSUE AND NOT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IN 2010 TOYOTA DID A RECALL ON ECM. SO WHAT DO I DO? CODE IS PREVENTING ME FROM GETTING A SMOG, YET WHEN REPAIR OF TORQUE CONVERTER ATTEMPTED CHECK ENGINE CODE PO741 STILL REMAINS. I CONTACTED DEALER REGARDING CODE, THEY SCANNED CAR, THE SAME CODE APPEARED. ALL THEY OFFERED WAS 400 TO TEAR INTO TRANSMISSION TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIND ISSUE. SO IN CLOSING , WE HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REVEALING CODE P0741; THAT WHEN REPAIRS ATTEMPTED ,REPAIR CANT SEEM TO BE FIXED SATISFACTORILY TO CLEAR THE LIGHT, BECAUSE THROUGH EXPERIENCE OF TRANSMISSION SHOP IT IS A FAULTY CODE AND THE REAL PROBLEM LIES WITHIN THE ECM, WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED DURING TOYOTA RECALL. SO WHAT DO I DO? I NEED MY CAR SMOGGED TO DRIVE.WHAT OTHER PROBLEMS WILL THE ECM CREATE IN THE FUTURE? TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL ECM AGAIN FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM AND OTHER PROBLEMS THAT MAY BE CREATED DUE TO THE FAULT Y ECM.

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID PERFORMANCE. MY 18 OLD DAUGHTER JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM THIS MAN WHO HAD RESET THE CAR SO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. AFTER US DRIVING IT HOME AND SERVER MILES LATER IT WENT OFF. HE SAID HE HAD FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION OIL AND THAT HIS MECHANIC HAD TOLD HIM TO JUST RESET IT AND IT WOULD BE FINE OBVIOUSLY IT WAS NOT FINE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO IS A VERY HONEST MECHANIC HAD STATED THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE . HE PULLED UP SOME RECALLS AND INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL DONE ON MODELS 04305 COROLLA UNFORTUNATELY THE VIN NUMBERS WERE 1ZZ -FE. I'M CALLING THE DEALERSHIPS AND ALL THEY CAN TELL ME IS THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN AN EXPIRED RECALL ON MY VEHICLE THEREFORE IT'S NO LONGER UNDER THE WARRANTY OF THE RECALL . THEY'RE NOT TELLING ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS THEY'RE JUST SAYING THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER . WITH ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE I'VE SEEN A LOT OF THIS ISSUE HAS ARRIVED WITH OTHER VIN NUMBERS BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN . AT THIS POINT I'M NOT EVEN TOO SURE WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN GET A NEW TRANSMISSION OR REBUILT THIS TRANSMISSION.

THE VEHICLE STARTED SHOWING THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" AND THE ERROR CODE SHOWN WAS P0741. THE ERROR CODE SUGGESTS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH CONVERTER SOLENOID. THIS ISSUES SEEMS TO BE COMMON ON THE 2005 COROLLA AND COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE TRANSMISSION DIES IMMEDIATELY WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY OR HIGH-SPEED ROAD.

MY CAR IS BLACK COLOR, AND ITS PAINT STARTS PEELING. THE MOST SEVERE SPOT IS ON THE TOP OF THE ROOF.

THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND STOPS WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TOYOTA 2 X THIS MONTH AND STILL NOT FIXED. IT WAS JUST TOWED AGAIN TODAY. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONCE THE CAR IS DRIVEN FOR AWHILE AND GETS WARMED UP. WHEN IT SITS FOR AWHILE IT WILL START AGAIN. I NOTICED THAT TOYOTA RECALLED SOME 2005 COROLLAS FOR ECM REPLACEMENT BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL. MY RESEARCH SEEMS TO INDICATE THIS CAR IS HAVING ECM PROBLEMS. TOYOTA HAS ALREADY REPLACED FUEL REGULATOR SENSOR( 1ST TIME) AND OXYGEN SENSOR (2ND TIME) BUT AS STATED ABOVE IT HAPPENED AGAIN 3 DAYS AFTER SECOND REPAIR. MY 17 YR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR. I BELIEVE IT IS THE EMC AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS DEADLY. THE CAR JUST STOPS. IMAGINE DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE 65 MILE AN HOUR AND YOUR CAR STOPS NO POWER NO ACCELERATION AND YOU THINK YOUR CAR HAS BEEN FIXED BY CERTIFIED TOYOTA MECHANIC. IF ON A HILL YOU CANNOT EVEN GET OFF THE ROAD. HELP!!! ONCE SHE WAS ON A STREET AND ONCE ON HIGHWAY.

I HAVE BEEN A BIG PROPONENT OF COOPER TIRES DUE TO THEIR MANUFACTURING PROCESSES. I'VE SINCE CHANGED MY MIND DUE TO THE 3 BLOW OUTS WE'VE HAD WITH THE CS4 TOURING (2) AND NOW MOST RECENT CS5 GRAND TOURING LINE. THE CS5 TIRES WERE PURCHASED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. ALL HAVE BEEN ON THE SIDEWALL AND ALL HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT APPEARS COOPER TIRES DOES NOT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE LIVES! OBVIOUSLY QUALITY IS NOT ONE OF THEIR CORE VALUES. TRY BEING IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVING A BLOW OUT THOSE ARE THE CONSEQUENCES. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS HURT JUST EXTREMELY SCARED. I WILL BE TAKING THE TIRES BACK TO EXPRESS TIRES TO SEE WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT THEY WILL PROVIDE. BTW ONLY OPTION TO SELECT IS CS4 TOURING BUT THESE ARE THE CS5 GRAND TOURING. SAME PROBLEM BUILT INTO THE NEWER MODEL.

I RECEIVED AN AIR SAFETY RECALL NOTICE THEREFORE I SCHEDULED AN APPT WITH BOCH TOYOTA IN NORWOOD, MA TO GET IT FIX SINCE THAT WAS THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM 11 YEARS AGO.

WHEN I ARRIVED THEY TOOK MY CAR TO GO CHECK WHY THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON, I REMINDED THEM THAT I WAS THERE TWO WEEKS AGO MAYBE THEY HAD FORGTOTTEN TO DO SOMETHING. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME HE WOULD HAVE A MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK; AN HOUR AFTER ANOTHER SERVICE ADVISR LARRY CAME AND TOLD ME THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT I WOULD COST ME $800. I TOLD HIM I HAD MY CAR FOR 11 YEARS AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT NEVER HAD ANY ISSUE UNTIL I BROUGHT MY CAR THERE FOR THEM TO FIX THE AIR BAG AS REQUESTED BY THE TOYOTA COMPANY;LARRY TOLD ME THE ISSUE THE CAR HAS NOW IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL AND THAT MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO GET IT FIX, HE ALSO SAID THAT IF I WAS INVOLVE IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. I TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS BOCH TOYOTA'S RESPONSIBILTY TO FIX IT, HE TOLD ME IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE. NEXT THEY BROUGHT MY CAR FOR ME THEN I LEFT. MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL ON IN THE CAR, I HAVE ASKED TWO MECHANICS FOR SUGGESTIONS AND THEY BOTH INFORMED ME THAT BOCH TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT. CAN

TAKATA RECALL MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE A RECALL IN 2010 ON TOYOTA COROLLA BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE CAR AT THAT TIME AM I STILL ELIGIBLE TO GET THAT FIX FOR FREE
