TAKATA RECALLON BUT THIS IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL, BUT I DID SEE IT THERE WERE RECALLED IN EUROPE JUST THE OTHER DAY FOR NOT GOING OFF AS WELL AS GOING OFF WITHOUT BEING HIT. I JUST WISH MINE HAD GONE OFF. 09/23/2018 I WAS HIT HEADON BY A VEHICLE GOING 45 MPH. THERE WAS NO WHERE ON MY FRONT END THAT WAS NOT EFFECTED BY THE ACCIDENT. RESEARCHING I FOUND WHERE THE SENSORS WERE FOR THE AIR BAG, EACH ON EACH SIDE OF THE RADITOR WAS HIT. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEFLATE CASING MYSELF NECK AND BACK INJURY THAT WILL NEVER REPAIR. PICTURES WILL SHOW THAT THERE IS NO WAY NONE OF THE AIR BAG SENSORS WERE NOT DAMAGED OR HIT TO ADVISE THE AIR BAG TO GO OFF AND HOLD THE PERSON IN PLACE SO THEY DO NOT GET SLUNG AROUND LIKE A RAG DOLL UNTIL THE ACCIDENT IS OVER. I REMEMBER SEEING THAT THE ACCIDENT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, I JUST DID NOT THINK I WOULD OF BEEN INVOLVED IN IT. UNFORTUNATELY, A TRUCK HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH THAT VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO ME AT FULL FORCE. I FIRST WAS SLUNG INTO THE DOOR, THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER IS MY ACCELERATOR STICKING SO I HAD TO TURN OFF MY KEY TO AVOID FLYING ACROSS A BUSY ROAD. I HAVE A BULDGING DISC, DAMAGED TENDONS AND MUSCLES. I AM 61 YEARS OLD AND NOW FEAR THAT IF HIT EVER AGAIN THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING AND THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EAST STREET AUTO (746 EAST ST, PITTSFIELD, MA 01201, (413) 443-3447) WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 104,000.

SATURDAY, JUNE 2. THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS INTERMITTENT OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE SPIRAL CABLE. I READ ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER TOYOTA MODELS AND YEARS AND THAT A RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT TO OWNERS AND REPAIRS WERE MADE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. TUESDAY, JUNE 5. THE DEFECTIVE PART WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. I SPOKE WITH THE DIRECTOR OF PARTS AND SERVICE TO ASK WHY I WAS CHARGED FOR THE REPAIR. HE SAID THE SPIRAL CABLE WAS NOT RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE AIRBAG, SO IT IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE; IT'S A PART THAT WEARS OUT, LIKE A WORN-OUT TIRE OR BRAKE PADS THAT ONE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE. I TOLD HIM THAT OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES WITH DEFECTIVE SPIRAL CABLES WERE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO HELP BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF HIS HANDS AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO CALL THE 800 NUMBER FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. JUNE 6. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EXPLAINED MY CONCERN. THE REPRESENTATIVE WHO TOOK MY INFORMATION SAID THAT I WOULD GET A CALL BACK IN A DAY AFTER HE RESEARCHED THE SITUATION. THURSDAY, JUNE 7. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE INFORMING ME THAT MY REQUEST FOR TOYOTA TO PAY THE FOR THE REPAIR WAS DENIED. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT AS OTHER VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON. I WAS TOLD I COULD DRIV

TAKATA INFLATORS I HAVEN'T HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY AIRBAGS YET, BUT I SAW A NEWS ARTICLE THAT THERE ARE PROBLEM WITH MAKERS OF MOST CAR COMPANY'S AIRBAGS AND MY CAR WAS ON OF THE MODELS.

TAKATA RECALL, AIR BAG LIGHT WONT GO OUT

AFTER HAVING MY CAR SERVICED FOR THE RECALL, I NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG RED LIGHT DISPLAYED. SHOWING THAT MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG HAS EITHER BEEN TURNED OFF OR MALFUNCTIONED. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS WHO HAVE PERMISSION TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE.

PARKING MY COROLLA I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE LIGHTLY DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SURGED IN REVERSE.I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE AND MOVING GEAR SHIFTER TO NEUTRAL PREVENTING CAR FROM HITTING FENCE.THIS VEHICLE HAD THE ECM REPLACED FOR A PREVIOUS RECALL ON 6-18-11 ON THE 1ZZ-FE ENGINE 4CYL 1.8L

YOUR SITE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING PROPERLY. I ENTERED MY VIN IN THE APPROPRIATE PLACE AND CLICKED START, IT DID NOTHING. I WISH TO CHECK IF MY VEHICLE HAS AN OPEN RECALL, SPECIFICALLY, FOR TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL.

TAKATA INFLATORS. YOU, THE NHTSA, ARE FULLY AWARE THE TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE NOT SAFE AND HAVE HARMED PEOPLE. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON MY MODEL OF CAR? I COULD BE KILLED, AND THE DELAY BY THE NHTSA TO RECALL THE AIRBAGS, WOULD BE YOUR FAULT. MAYBE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO THE PUBLIC.

MY CAR HAD A RECALL COMPLETED ON THE ECM IN 2011. NOW IN 2018 MY ECM IS SHORTING OUT CAUSING MY ENGINE TO SHUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. IN ORDER TO START UP THE ENGINE AGAIN I HAVE TO PULL OVER, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE KEY AGAIN. ONE TIME THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STOPPED. THE OTHER TIME THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. TOYOTA REPORTED THAT BECAUSE THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND THE REPAIR HAD TO BE COMPLETED AT MY EXPENSE. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN IS TO HAVE A NEW ECM INSTALLED.

RECEIVED MAIL REGARDING LEGAL NOTICE FOR OWNER OF VEHICLES WITH TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS SO INVESTIGATING.

TAKATA RECALL - WOULD LIKE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR.

I HAVE TO SET MY TOYOTA COROLLA IN THE GARAGE, AND I HAD TO USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WHILE THESE ISSUE WILL BE SOLVE. I USE THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY OF 5, TO WORK, FOR SCHOOL AND WEEKENDS. I COULD NOT SALE MY CAR IN A GOOD PRICE BECAUSE, THE POSSIBLE BUYERS KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL AND THEY OFFER ME LESS MONEY FOR MY TOYOTA COROLLA. PRACTICALLY I LOST A LOT OF MONEY DUE TO THIS RECALL. ALSO I HAVE ISSUES WITH THE BODY PAINT DUE THE CAR IS PARKING ON A OUT SIDE PARKING, THE RAIN, THE SUN AND THE WEATHER CONDITION IS DAMAGING MY CAR. IN CONCLUSION, BUYING THIS CAR RESULT IN LOST A LOT OF MONEY,

I NOW HAVE TO TAKE MY CAR TO DEALER AGAIN FOR THE DAY TO HAVE THEM HOPEFULLY REPLACE THEM AGAIN. THIS CAR HAS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS RIGHT FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND 4 BATTERIES AND AT LEAST 20 TIRE REPLACEMENTS NOT TO MENTION THE HUB CAPS ALL ROLLED AWAY 4 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW FROM HAYWARD TOYOTA

MY HUSBAND HAD A WRECK IN JANUARY OF 2016 AND TOTALLED THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND HE BASHED HIS CHEST OFF THE STEERING WHEEL, CAUSING HIM TO HAVE A SEIZURE. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED DUE TO THE CRASH ON A HIGHWAY.

A $ 150 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE WAS GOING TO BE APPLIED TO FIND WHAT ELSE BE WRONG WITH THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT ON THE COROLLA. I MADE CONTACT WITH TOYOTA CORPORATION TO EXPLAIN THE DILEMMA.(800) 331-4331 I SPOKE WITH KRISTINA AND WAS INFORMED THAT RECALL SITUATION HAS BEEN FIX AND IF I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT OTHER SAFETY ISSUES I MIGHT BE HAVING WITH THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT BEING ON, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT..

THE NEXT ESTIMATED DATE THE DEALERSHIP MAY RECEIVE THE PART IS THE END OF OCTOBER. AS OF NOW MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THEIR PARKING LOT FOR 5 MONTHS. OBVIOUSLY THE END OF OCT WILL BE 6 MONTHS.

I FEEL TOYOTA IS NOT BEING UPFRONT WITH INFORMATION AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW MORE THAN THE INDIVIDUAL DEALERSHIPS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS INFORMATION FOR ME. THANK YOU! *TR

TAKATA RECALL: TOYOTA IS FREQUENTLY MAILING ME REMINDERS AND MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS ADVISING ME TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER TO REPAIR A DEFECT THAT COULD SPRAY BITS OF METAL AROUND THE CABIN. I AM ON THE "LIST" AT MY DEALER AND THEY TELL ME IT COULD BE TWO MONTHS OR LONGER BEFORE THEY GET THE PARTS. WHEN I CALLED THE TOYOTA RECALL PEOPLE TODAY THEY SAID AT ANOTHER DEALER THE ESTIMATED WAIT FOR PARTS WAS 14 WEEKS. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? I AM SURE THAT ALL OF THESE NOTICES ARE MERELY TO MEET SOME REQUIREMENT THAT THE NHTSA HAS PLACED ON THEM. WHY DON'T WE JUST FIX THE CAR!

THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER OVER TWO MONTHS, SITTING, WAITING FOR THE PART. I HAVE A LOANER BUT WANT THE CAR BACK!
