OVER TWO MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A INTERIM SAFETY RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE AIR BAGS ON MY CAR INFORMING ME I CAN'T RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT/OR MY SPOUSE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH TOYOTA ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS & HAVE BEEN WARNED NOT TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A DATE ON WHEN MY CAR WILL BE FIXED. I HAVE INFORMED THEM THAT I AM PLANNING ON A TRIP - AND DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT I REQUESTED A LOANER AND HAVE BEEN TOLD NO. I DIDN'T PAY OVER $18,000 FOR A CAR THAT I CAN'T RIDE IN AND THINK I HAVE BEEN MORE THAN PATIENT IN WAITING TO GET MY AIR BAGS FIXED. WHEN I SPOKE WITH TOYOTA THEY SAID IT THE MAJOR CITIES ARE GETTING FIXED FIRST. I PAID MY CAR OFF OVER SIX YEARS AGO AND FEEL MY FAMILY'S LIVES ARE WORTH JUST AS MUCH AS THE NEXT PERSON. WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR, THE BIGGEST SELLING FEATURES WERE THE AIR BAGS AS I HAVE CHILDREN/GRANDCHILDREN AND THEIR SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. ME & MY HUSBAND FEEL THEY SHOULD AT LEAST GIVE A SAFE LOANER VEHICLE SO WE CAN BE SAFE ON OUR TRIP. THIS IS VERY INCONVENIENT & FEEL TOYOTA IS JUST TRYING TO GET OUT OF A LAWSUIT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN GIVE ME. *TR

.VEHICLE RECALL
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA STATING THAT I NEED A NEW PASSENGER AIR BAG IMMEDIATELY. I CONTACTED TOYOTA OF TAMPA BAY ON 7/22/2015 AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE OUT OF STOCK, BUT WOULD ORDER ME ONE FOR MY PARTICULAR VIN # SO THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE ONE INSTALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA OF TAMPA BAY SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN AND KEEP BEING I TOLD I WILL BE CALLED BACK AND NEVER RECEIVE A CALL BACK. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, BUT I CAN'T GET TOYOTA TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. MY MOST RECENT CALL TO TOYOTA OF TAMPA BAY WAS THIS AFTERNOON ON 9/5/2015.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V286000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY CAR DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE RECALL (NHTSA ID 15V285) STATES THAT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, THE PASSENGER MIGHT BE SUBJECTED TO METALS THROUGH THE AIR BAG THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT THE DEALER IN MY AREA BUT WITH NO SUCCESS. TODAY, WE ARE ALMOST THREE MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL HAS BEEN INITIATED. A NON-LOGICAL SOLUTION HAS BEEN PROPOSED WHICH IS NOT TO OCCUPY THE PASSENGERS SEAT. I AGREE THAT THERE IS NO INJURY TILL THE DATE OF TODAY, BUT WE WON'T WAIT UNTIL AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS TO SEE THE RESULTS. I AM REQUESTING THE FOLLOWING: 1) THE DEALER HAS TO REPLACE THE AIR-BAG WITH A SAFE ONE WITHIN TWO WEEK OF TODAY (09/03/2015). I CAN'T KEEP THE PASSENGER SEAT UNOCCUPIED MORE THAN THIS TIME. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT TO SERVE A DRIVER, A PASSENGER, AND OCCUPANTS IN THE BACK SEAT. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER HAS TO TAKE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MANUFACTURING ERROR. 2) IN CASE THE REPAIR WAS NOT DONE WITHIN 2 WEEKS, I AM REQUESTING THAT THE DEALER PROVIDE ME WITH A REPLACEMENT CAR, FREE OF CHARGE AND WITH INSURANCE, UNTIL THE REPAIR PARTS ARE READY AND THE REPAIR IS DONE. 3) A THIRD OPTION IS THAT I MIGHT CONSIDER TRADING MY CAR FOR A 2011-2013 TOYOTA RAV 4 WITH A PAYMENT OF $4,000. THIS SEEMS A REASONABLE SOLUTION DUE TO THE RISK MY FAMILY AND MYSELF ARE SUBJECTED DUE TO THE ABOVE MANUFACTURING ERROR.
I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE AND TO AVOID PASSANGER TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. WHY HAS IT TAKEN YEARS TO NOTIFY ME OF THIS? THE LIVES ON LITTLE PEOPLE ARE THAT IMPORTANT I GEUSS???
AFTER RECEIVING MY AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE , I TRIED FOUR TIMES TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT FIXED AT MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER ( WERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ) TOYOTA OF HOLLYWOOD FLORIDA 1841 NORTH STATE ROAD 7 ,HOLLYWOOD FLORIDA 33021 . EVERY TIME WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND , WE'LL CALL YOU. WE NEED TO ORDER THE PARTS. YOU NEED TO TALK TO A MANAGER ( WHO IS NOT AVAILABLE ) .

I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT HONDA HAS RESOLVED THE AIRBAG ISSUE IN MY 2003 VEHICLE IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION AND TOYOTA HAS NOT. IN ADDITION I AM INCURRING ADDED CARPOOL COSTS OF NOT USING THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT DUE TO BEING ADVISED BY TOYOTA NOT TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

TODAY, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS CAR FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODEL. THE NOTICE SAID THAT NO REMEDY WAS YET AVAILABLE. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY VERIFIED THIS AND SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN A REMEDY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE NOTICE ADVISES THAT NOBODY SHOULD SIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR UNTIL THE INFLATOR MODULE IS REPLACED. INJURIES AND DEATH HAVE OCCURRED WHEN THE AIRBAG IMPROPERLY DEPLOYS. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR MY WIFE AND I TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY, MY OTHER CAR IS A 2004 HONDA CIVIC WHICH HAS ALSO BEEN RECALLED FOR, FIRST, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE AND, THEN, FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I'VE BEEN WAITING 4 MONTHS FOR THE DEALER TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE, SINCE THE AIRBAGS FOR BOTH CARS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED BY TAKATA, IT SEEMS TO ME LIKELY THAT THE TOYOTA WILL ALSO, SOME DAY, BE RECALLED AGAIN FOR THE FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME OBVIOUS THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 2 UNSAFE CARS SINCE THE TIME I PURCHASED THEM. CONSIDERING THE DANGER OF INJURY OR DEATH, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO ME THAT THE RECALLS ARE NOT BEING HANDLED BY TOYOTA OR HONDA IN A TIMELY MANNER WITH PROPER CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS OF THESE CARS. HONDA DID FINALLY RESPOND BY REPLACING THE PASSENGER SIDE MODULE IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR, AT THE SAME TIME TELLING ME I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT INDEFINITELY TO REPLACE THE DR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V286000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE NOTIFICATION AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE.
I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE MY CAR IS BEING RECALLED DUE TO DEFECTIVE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE DEALER AND OFFICIAL TOYOTA WEBSITE CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THIS DEFECT CAN BE REPAIRED. MY CAR IS NOT THE 1ST WAVE OF RECALLS. I AM PLANNING ON MOVING LONG DISTANCE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS TO COLORADO, SO CAN I GET MY CAR FIXED AT A TOYOTA DEALER THERE FOR FREE? I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ON THE WEBSITES THAT INCLUDED THIS QUESTION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. BY THE WAY, I AM FILING AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT THAT THE INFORMATION REGARDING TIMING FOR THE FIXES IS NOT AVAILABLE.
WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON OUR COROLLA TODAY STATING THAT THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY AND CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO RUPTURE, POTENTIALLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO THE RECALL, WE DO NOT LIVE IN A PRIORITY GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION TO RECEIVE AN IMMEDIATE REPAIR AND WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL ENOUGH PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. TOYOTA'S SUGGESTION IN THE MEANTIME IS TO HAVE NO ONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT IF WE BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THAT EFFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. OUR FAMILY DOES NOT OWN AN ADDITIONAL VEHICLE THAT WILL ACCOMMODATE OUR FAMILY, SO WE FEEL THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE ALTERNATIVE FOR TOYOTA TO OFFER (TO MERELY HAVE SOMEONE NOT SIT IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT.) WE ARE DUMBFOUNDED THAT TOYOTA WOULD SEND A RECALL ADVISING US OF THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE WITH NO SOLUTION FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. WE ARE NOW FORCED TO POTENTIALLY ENDANGER THE LIFE OF SOMEONE IN OUR FAMILY AS WE HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE THAT WILL FIT OUR FAMILY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE TRAVELING DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER AND MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH. THE CONTACT, WHO WAS PREGNANT AT THE TIME, SUSTAINED WHIPLASH AND TWO HERNIATED DISCS IN THE BACK THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO PROVIDED BODY REPAIRS BUT NO DIAGNOSIS TO EXPLAIN THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A SECOND CRASH WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY A REPAIR SHOP FOR THE BODY REPAIRS, BUT THE AIR BAG FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED WHIPLASH AND RECEIVED FURTHER MEDICAL TREATMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT A THIRD CRASH HAPPENED WHEN A DRIVER WAS BRINGING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE CONTACTS RESIDENCE, LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE AS WELL AS A TELEPHONE POLE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES AND THE DRIVERS HEAD WENT THRU THE WINDSHIELD. THE DRIVER DID NOT RECEIVE FURTHER MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT WAS TO RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE IN MID APRIL 2015 AND RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION ON AUGUST 10TH, 2015. THE CONTACT WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V285000 (AIR BAGS) BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET THE REPAIR DUE TO EXPERIENCING MORE THAN TWO CRASHES IN

DEAR NHTSA, TODAY WE RECEIVED AN INTERIM RECALL NOTICE ON OUR 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA INSTRUCTING US NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH A FRONT PASSENGER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA TO EXPLAIN THAT WE PURCHASED THIS CAR SPECIFICALLY FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO CURRENTLY HAS HER OHIO TEMPORARY DRIVERS LICENSE. PER THIS INTERIM LETTER, TOYOTA IS TELLING US THAT SHE CANNOT DRIVE THIS CAR WE PURCHASED SPECIFICALLY FOR HER. OHIO TEMPORARY DRIVER LICENSES REQUIRE A LICENSED FRONT PASSENGER. I WAS GIVEN TOYOTA CASE #1508103451 BY THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE. I REQUESTED ONE OF THE INITIAL RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE. THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE REFUSED, AND ADVISED ME TO CALL A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO GET ON AN INITIAL CALL BACK LIST. I CALLED METRO TOYOTA IN CLEVELAND, OHIO AT 888.439.0914. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED ME THAT THEY ARE NOT MAKING APPOINTMENTS OR TAKING PHONE NUMBERS FOR TOYOTA CALL BACK APPOINTMENTS. THE METRO TOYOTA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ALSO ADVISED IT MAY BE TWO MONTHS TO TWO YEARS BEFORE THEY RECEIVE PARTS FOR THE TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL REPLACEMENTS. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN BOTH TOYOTA CORPORATE USA AND METRO TOYOTA. BOTH PARTIES APPEARED TO BE UNCONCERNED WITH RENDERING MY 2007 COROLLA USELESS FOR MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE FOR POSSIBLY TWO YEARS. I BELIEVE TOYOTA NEEDS TO STEP TO THE PLATE AND OFFER US A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE IN SAFE NON-RECALL CONDITION IN EXCHANGE FOR OUR 2007 COROLLA IF THEY CANNOT PROVIDE US WITH A TIMELY RECALL REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V286000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE OF 2015. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
THIS HAPPENED ABOUT FOUR WEEKS APART WITH TWO DIFFERENT DRIVERS UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS. WE WERE SLOWING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN TRAVELING 5-10 MPH AND WHEN WE APPLIED THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE REVED UP. WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME THE THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE SO I PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THUS AVOIDED HITTING CAR AHEAD OF ME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THEY HAD IT FOR A DAY AND HALF AND SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY SAID I SHOULD REMOVE MY AFTER MARKET CAR MAT ( WHICH I HAVE) AND SUGGESTED THAT BOTH DRIVERS HAD APPLIED THE BRAKE AND ACCELORATOR AT THE SAME TIME. I THINK THIS IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY AS MY FOOT ISN'T WIDE ENOUGH TO DO BOTH UNLESS MY FOOT IS NEARLY OFF THE BRAKE. THE CAR MAT IN QUESTION HAS BEEN THE CAR FOR 6 PLUS YEARS AND IS A CUSTOM MADE ONE WHICH DOES NOT SLIP.

WHEN EVER I TURN OFF THE CAR THEN START IT AGAIN AND MOVE EITHER FORWARD OR BACKWARD THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND IN MY FORWARD BREAK AREA. I TOOK IT IN TO TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE SOUND. I TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED A PART TWICE. IT STOPS GRINDING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT THEN IT COMES BACK. IT NOW HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY TIME I GO FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. ALSO, IF I GO OVER A BUMPY STRETCH OF ROAD OR SUDDENLY STEP ON MY BRAKES THE BRAKES GRIND AND I AM UNABLE TO STOP FOR A FEW SECONDS. IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ABS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS DAILY.

I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA YESTERDAY REGARDING THE RECALL FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS. THE RECALL LETTER SAYS THAT THE INFLATOR CAN RUPTURE "STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." IT SAYS THE REPAIRS SHOULD BE PERFORMED IMMEDIATELY AND THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED. AFTER CONTACTING MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, I LEARNED THAT I CANNOT BE SEEN FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS TO GET THE NECESSARY REPAIRS COMPLETED. I CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND THEY SUGGESTED I CONTACT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A RENTAL. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTS THEY ARE NOT GIVING RENTALS (EVEN ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS) DUE TO THE SHEER NUMBERS OF RECALLS THEY ARE HANDLING...I AM SEVERLY CONCERNED THAT SUCH A STRONGLY WORDED RECALL WENT OUT REPORTING THAT THE "OCCUPANTS" (NOT ONE) COULD BE INJURED RELATED TO THIS DEFECT AND YET THERE IS A 3 MONTH DELAY IN REPAIRING MY VEHICLE. IT APPEARS THAT THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO HUMIDITY AND I LIVE ON THE GULF COAST WHERE IT IS ALWAYS HUMID AND MOIST. IT IS DISTRESSING TO ME THAT I AM NOW EXPECTED MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH OTHER PEOPLE OR ANOTHER VEHICLE IF I NEED TO TRANSPORT FIVE PEOPLE IN MY (AS I DID THIS WEEKEND WITH MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS). IT IS ANNOYING THAT ANY OTHER PASSENGER WOULD BE EXPECTED TO RIDE IN THE BACK AND HOPE THAT THEY ARE NOT ONE OF THE OCCUPANTS AFFECTED BY METAL FRAGMENTS THAT COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG.....WHILE I AM CERTAIN THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR TOYOTAL

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.
