TAKATA RECALL THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT INVOLVING DEATHS WITH THIS RECALL AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE AND HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS REPLACED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I WANT MY AIRBAGS REPLACED PROMPTLY. THIS IS A HORRIBLE RESPONSE TO A KNOWN PROBLEM AND TAKATA AND TOYOTA SHOULD BE MORE PROACTIVE IN GETTING IT RESOLVED.
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V006000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE INTERIM RECALL NOTICE DID NOT SPECIFY WHEN THE REMEDY AND PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR WITH THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER WHO SAYS THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL. IN LOOKING AT THE WEB SITE JAN. 9, 2017 IS THE DATE LISTED THIS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. IT IS NOW AUG. 21, AND MY INSURANCE PROVIDER IS SAYING MY COVERAGE MAY BE INCREASED IF THIS RECALL IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?? I RECEIVED A CARD IN THE MAIL ON 8/19/17 FROM THE DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA WHICH SAYS I SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL RETAILER TO REPAIR THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THEY CAN'T REPAIR IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS!
WHEN INQUIRING ABOUT THE GENERAL RECALL FOR AIR BAGS I WAS INFORMED BY TEXAS TOYOTA THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE. LOOKING IT UP ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE SHOWS THAT AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER.
TAKATA AIRBAGS INFLATOR ISSUE, I'M DRIVING ON A RISK WITH MY FAMILY, IF ANYTHING GOE WRONG, TOYOTA MOTORS INC USA WILL BE RESPONSBILE,TOYOTA COMPANY HASN'T ANNOUNCED ANY REMEDY AS YET.I HAVE CONTACTED THE NEAREST DEALER I.E TOYTOA FAIRFAX OURISMAN BUT ALL IN VAIN. I CANT EVEN SELL THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. NEED THIS ISSUE TO BE SETTLED ONCE AND FOR ALL OR I SHOULD BE GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE TILL THIS IS FIXED
TAKATA RECALL CORRECTION IS TAKING AN UNSAFE AMOUNT OF TIME.
TAKATA RECALL FOR MY TOYOTA COROLLA WAS ISSUED IN JANUARY 2017 AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MATTER AND I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A REMEDY IMMEDIATELY. IT IS UNREASONABLE TO SIMPLY SAY DON'T DRIVE YOUR CAR OR USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE HURT OR KILLED.
TAKATA RECALL. "REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE"! TAKATA/TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE VIDEO ON NHTSA SITE SUGGESTS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN OCCUR UPON CRASH/IMPACT DUE TO TAKATA DEFECT. "TIMELY MANNER" WOULD BE IMMEDIATE REPAIR'PARTS AVAILABLE IN ALL STATES FOR ALL VEHICLES. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION LAST YEAR 2016, IT IS NOW AUG. 2017 AND I AM STILL UNABLE TO ESCAPE POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH BECAUSE TAKATA HAS FAILED. I LIVE IN VERY HOT HUMID CONDITIONS IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS/ST. LOUIS. IS TODAY THE DAY I OR OCCUPANT DIE FROM AN AIRBAG THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SAVE LIVES? FORTUNATELY I HAVE NOT HAD A CRASH WITH THE VEHICLE, SO I HAVE NOT YET EXPERIENCED THE LIFE THREATENING CONDITION CAUSED BY THE DEFECT. FORTUNATELY I AM STILL ALIVE TO FILE A COMPLAINT'WILL I OR MY PASSENGERS BE HERE TOMORROW? TAKATA AND TOYOTA NEED TO FIGURE OUT THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION. SINCE LATE LAST YEAR (2016) RECALL INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO NOT RIDE WITH A PASSENGER. AND IT IS NOW AUGUST OF 2017'PEOPLE HAVE FAMILIES, FRIENDS, ONE LIFE TO LIVE'AND NEED TO USE THEIR PASSENGER SEAT! THEIR DELAY IN FIXING IS BEYOND NEGLIGENT. TOYOTA DEALERS ARE DISABLING AIRBAGS AND PUT "DO NOT SIT HERE STICKER" IN CARS? I AM MAKING A CAR PAYMENT'THEIR SOLUTION TO NOT USE OF MY CAR. I AM FORMALLY REQUESTING THAT IN ADDITION TO REPAIR THAT TAKATA/TOYOTA PAY OF MY CAR PAYMENT FROM TIME OF FIRST NOTICE AND UNTIL THEY HAVE REPAIRED MY CAR. THEY ARE CAUSING DAILY WORRY AND STRESS- IS TODAY

SO ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR ISN'T ON. I WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND STATED THE PROBLEM THAT I HAD AND THEY INSISTED THAT I HAD TO PAY, WHEN I GOT A LETTER FROM TOYOTA REMEDY NOTICE STATING THAT STYE CAN COVER FOR FIXING THE AIR BAG LIGHT. I HAVE THE LETTER WITH ME DIRECTLY FROM TOYOTA. SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT WHEN I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS ABSOLUTELY MAKES NO SENSE AND I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE PURPOSELY TRYING TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF ME. WHEN I HAVE A LETTER FROM TOYOTA STATING THEY CAN PAY FOR THE DAMAGE.

I NEED THE CAR TO TRANSPORT MY HUSBAND TO APPTS AND CLINICS AND NOW WORRY ABOUT SAFETY. MY VIN # IS ON THE MATCHED LIST AND I LIVE IN A HOT, HUMID CLIMATE.
TAKATA RECALL - WAS NOTIFIED IN JANUARY 2017 BY TOYOTA THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. TO DATE, THERE IS NO REMEDY YET. THEY RECOMMEND NOT PUTTING ANYONE IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE 5 PEOPLE (INCLUDING MYSELF) I AM REQUIRED TO TRANSPORT IN MY VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD PROVIDE A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT VEHICLE FOR ME TO USE FREE TO MEET MY PURPOSE FOR BUYING THE CAR, UNTIL THEY FIND A REMEDY.
TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT DATE HAS NOT YET BEEN ASSIGNED.

I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THIS LAST YEAR AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR WORD ON THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT DATE SCHEDULED FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS REPAIR NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED ASAP.

IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A COLD SOAK STARTUP MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA MAKES A VERY LOUD RATTLE NOISE WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR APPROXIMATELY 1-2 SECONDS. IT WILL CONSISTENTLY DO THIS UPON COLD STARTUP, AND IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITHIN THE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION FOR MORE DETAILS, INCLUDING THE $896 REPAIR QUOTED FROM THE DEALER (PAGE 2). IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS ISSUE CAN EVENTUALLY LEAD TO MORE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE, AND I THINK IT IS A SHAME THAT THE DEALER DID NOT CATCH THIS EARLIER/ IS NOW QUOTING SUCH A HIGH PRICE FOR REPAIR. IT IS MY HOPE THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO MAKE TOYOTA BETTER RESPECT IT'S CUSTOMER'S SATISFACTIONS/SAFETY, AND TAKE CARE OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE AT NO COST TO IT'S CUSTOMERS.

TAKATA RECALL: AFTER WAITING ABOUT 6 MONTHS, THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL IN MY COROLLA. I HAVE NOT USED THE PASSENGER SEAT SINCE BECOMING AWARE OF THE RECALL TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I AM DUE TO HAVE OUR SECOND BABY IN A MATTER OF MONTHS, AND WHEN I HAVE 2 CAR SEATS IN THE BACK, I WILL BE UNABLE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY OF 4 SAFELY. MY VEHICLE IS THE PRIMARY VEHICLE IN MY FAMILY. BEING UNABLE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY IN ONE CAR IS UNACCEPTABLE. IT IS ALSO UNACCEPTABLE TO NOT KNOW WHETHER THE PROBLEM WILL BE REMEDIED BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF MY BABY. MY CAR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF MY FAMILY, AND I AM NOT FINANCIALLY ABLE TO PURCHASE A DIFFERENT CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. PLEASE REMEDY MY CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS MUST BE TAKEN CARE OF IN THE FALL, BEFORE MY CAR BECOMES A MAJOR ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. THE UNKNOWN OF HOW TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY IN THE NEAR FUTURE IS BECOMING A MAJOR SOURCE OF STRESS AND WILL BECOME A MAJOR FINANCIAL BURDEN IF IT IS NOT REMEDIED BY THE WINTER.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS ADVISED IN JANUARY NOT TO DRIVE OUR CAR DUE TO A RECALL OF THE AIRBAGS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR DEATH FROM THEM DEPLOYING. (NHSTA RECALL NUMBER 17V006) IT HAS NOW BEEN 7 MONTHS WITHOUT A REMEDY. THIS IS MY FAMILY'S ONLY VEHICLE AND WE MUST USE IT FOR DAILY LIVING NEEDS. WE FEAR DAILY THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL ENDANGER MYSELF, MY WIFE, OR OUR CHILDREN AND WE DO NOT HAVE THE WEALTH OR LUXURY TO BUY ANOTHER CAR OR USE A TAXI FOR ALL OUR DAILY LIVING NEEDS. WE ARE REQUESTING THAT A REMEDY BE FORCED IMMEDIATELY UPON THE MANUFACTURER EVEN IF IT IS SIMPLY A REMOVAL OF THE AIRBAGS AND PROPELLANT. LETHAL AIRBAGS ARE A GREATER HAZARD THAN USE OF SEATBELTS IN A CAR WITH NO AIRBAGS AT ALL. PLEASE OFFER A SOLUTION IMMEDIATELY OR INFORM US OF HOW THE MANUFACTURER WILL PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT CAR THAT CAN BE SAFELY USED OR BE HELD LIABLE FOR THE COST OF THE CURRENT CAR TOWARD A SAFE REPLACEMENT VEHICLE.
TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL STILL NOT FIXED.
THIS CAR IS MY MOTHERS CAR. SHE IS UNABLE TO DRIVE. MY SISTER MOVED HERE TO CARE FOR HER. SHE HAS STAGE 4 LUNG CANCER. MY SISTER DRIVES HER TO ALL HER APPOINTMENTS FOR CHEMO, TESTS, ETC. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE MY MOTHER CAN GET INTO. THIS IS CAUSING A SERIOUS ISSUE IN TRANSPORTING HER. SO FAR WE ARE BING TOLD THERE IS NO FIX TO THE AIRBAG SITUATION. YOUR RECALL # 17V006. MAN RECALL # G1R. WE UNDERSTAND THE TIME IT TAKES TO GET A SOLUTION BUT SHE RECEIVED THE RECALL OVER A YEAR AGO AND STILL SHES SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT. MY SISTER HAS TO MAKE THE CHOICE OF SITTING MY ELDERLY MOTHER OR ONE OF HER CHILDREN IN FRONT OF THAT AIRBAG OR PAY A BABYSITTER. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO EITHER MY SISTER OR MOTHER UNDER THE UNDUE EXPENSES OF MY MOTHERS ILLNESS.
THE AIRBAGS IN OUR 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA XRS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED YET. GIVEN THE PROBLEM EXPERIENCED WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS, REQUEST NHSTA INTERVENETO HAVE TOYOTA DEALERS EITHER FIND A SOLUTION OR PROVIDE REPLACEMENT VEHICLES, UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE TAKATA RECALL IN MARCH, AT THE LATEST, AND FOLLOWED THEIR RECOMMENDATION OF NOT ALLOWING SOMEONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HOWEVER, WITH FIVE FAMILY MEMBERS, THIS IS NOT A VIABLE SOLUTION FOR MY FAMILY. WE CANNOT FIT ALL OF US, LET ALONE GUESTS, IN THE CAR AND STILL AVOID THE RECALLED AIR BAG. TOYOTA HAS BEEN GOOD ABOUT ISSUING RECALLS AND PROVIDING REMEDIES WITHIN A MONTH OF THE RECALL, BUT THIS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JANUARY, I RECEIVED NOTICE IN MARCH, AND IT IS NOW MID-JULY, WITH NO REMEDY FORTHCOMING.

TAKATA RECALL THIS IS TAKING FAR TOO LONG TO GET REPLACED. TOYOTA HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG (WHICH COULD KILL ME, I LIVE IN THE SOUTH AND IT'S THE AREA MOST LIKELY TO HAVE FAULTY AIRBAGS AS I UNDERSTAND IT). I UNDERSTAND THE HUGE UNDERTAKING THIS AIRBAG RECALL INVOLVES FOR ALL CAR COMPANIES INCLUDING TOYOTA BUT AT WHAT POINT WILL THIS FAULTY DEADLY EQUIPMENT EVER BE REPLACED? A YEAR? FIVE? IS THERE EVEN A POINT IF A RECALL TAKES SO LONG THE CAR DIES OF OLD AGE FIRST?
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.
