TAKATA RECALL: DESPITE BEING IN ZONE A, MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (SERVCO HAWAII) SAYS IT WILL BE MANY MONTHS BEFORE THEY CAN GET TO FIXING MY AIRBAG (I WAITED ON THE PHONE FOR OVER AN HOUR BEFORE THEY EVEN ANSWERED MY CALL). GIVEN THAT ZONE A CARS ARE AT THE GREATEST RISK OF ACCIDENTAL AIR BAG EXPLOSION, AND GIVEN THAT TOYOTA SAYS THAT THE FRONT SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED, IT SEEMS INADEQUATE TO JUST TELL THE CONSUMER THAT THEY WILL GET TO IT IN A FEW (INDETERMINATE) MONTHS. I WOULD LIKE MY CAR FIXED IMMEDIATELY.
THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL (NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V-858) ON THE TOYOTA SIENNA 2011 MINI VAN, OUR VIN NUMBER IS [XXX]. THE POWER SLIDING DOORS IN OUR VAN DO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY, CREATING AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR YOUNG CHILD. WE ARE VERY UNPLEASED AT THE IRRESPONSIBLE MANNER IN WHICH TOYOTA IS HANDLING THIS RECALL, AS NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN OFFERED TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP OR TOYOTA AS TO HOW THIS DEFECT WILL BE FIXED. WE ARE VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS. PLEASE CONTACT US WITH A REMEDY WHENEVER IT IS AVAILABLE, WE WANT THIS FIXED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
WE PURCHASED OUR SIENNA FEB 2015 FROM A DEALER. IN MAY 2016 WE WERE INFORMED OUR TIRES HAD WORN ON THE INSIDE AND THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND AN ALIGNMENT NEEDED TO BE DONE. WE DID BOTH AS RECOMMENDED. IN SEPTEMBER 2016 WE WERE TOLD THAT OUR TIRES WERE FEATHERING DUE TO AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE, SO AGAIN THE VAN AS ALIGNED. THE TIRES ARE BALANCED AND ROTATED PER THE RECOMMENDED TIME FRAME. I TOOK MY VAN IN JUNE 2017 TO THE DEALER TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE DONE AND WAS INFORMED THAT I WILL NEED NEW TIRES SOON. THESE ARE MICHELIN TIRES WHICH ARE 60,000 TIRES. THEY CURRENTLY HAVE 25,859 MILES ON THEM. THE TIRES MEASURED 4/32, 5/32, 5/32, AND 5/32. I HAVE HAD ANOTHER ALIGNMENT DONE IN JUNE. WE ARE NOW LOOKING INTO ANOTHER SET OF TIRES SINCE WE WILL BE MOVING NEXT YEAR AND HAVE LITTLE ONES IN THE CAR TO KEEP SAFE. I HAVE READ SO MANY FORUMS THAT STATE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WE ARE HAVING. THAT THE TOYOTA SIENNA EATS THROUGH TIRES. I WAS VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE DEALER SHIP WHEN I QUESTIONED THEM WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I WAS BASICALLY TOLD I HIT POT HOLES AND HAVE THROWN THE ALIGNMENT OUT OF WHACK AND IS CAUSING THE ISSUES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS! HAVING TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES WHEN THEY HAVEN'T EVEN GONE THROUGH HALF THE MILES THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
TAKATA RECALL THEY SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO STATING NO SOLUTION YET, IN THE MEANTIME, DEATH MAY OCCUR IF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. SO FOR A YEAR NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, ABOUT A WEEK AGO I FINALLY GET A NOTICE THAT THEY HAVE THE PARTS NOW. I CALL THEM AND THEY PUT ME ON A WAIT LIST THAT THE SAN JOSE STEVEN'S CREEK TOYOTA DEALER TELLS ME IS GOING TO BE 4 TO 6 WEEKS WAIT. SO FOR A YEAR, NO ONE CAN SIT ON THE PASSENGER SEAT OR FEAR OF DEATH IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. NOW ITS 4 TO 6 MORE WEEKS LONGER. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN SEATS INSTALLED IN THE MIDDLE ROW AND THE BACK SEATS ARE FOLDED DOWN TO CARRY CARGO. WHERE IS MY WIFE SUPPOSED TO SIT IN THE MEANTIME?!? THIS IS A RIDICULOUSLY LONG TIME THAT I'M NOT ABLE TO USE MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THIS IS CRIMINAL.

NHTSA RECALL ID: 11V560 I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A RECALL FOR SOME SORT OF STICKER ON MY VEHICLE. MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET THE STICKER AND I HAD TO CALL TOYOTA DIRECTLY. I JUST GOT OFF OF A 25 MINUTE PHONE CONVERSATION WITH TOYOTA AND THE RESULT WAS THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T HANDLE IT AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. I ASKED THAT THE STICKER JUST BE SENT TO ME IF IT WAS JUST A STICKER AND I WAS UNABLE TO WAIT ON HOLD ANY LONGER. TOYOTA SAID THEY COULD NOT CONTINUE TO HELP ME UNLESS I STAYED ON HOLD WHILE THEY TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I UNDERSTAND IT IS "JUST A STICKER" AS BOTH TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME. HOWEVER, I WANT THE RECALL CLEARED FROM MY VEHICLE. I AM SEEKING ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THE STICKER SENT TO ME AS REQUIRED. SEEMS LIKE IT IS A SIMPLE TRANSACTION, BUT TOYOTA IS NOT MAKING IT SO.

TAKATA RECALL - RECALL IS OVER A YEAR OLD. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO MIKE ERDMAN TOYOTA TO ADDRESS THIS AND HAVE BEEN ON THEIR LIST FOR AN EXTREME PERIOD. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED DUE TO RECALL. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE THE CONCERN HAS BEEN NOTED TO BE MORE CONCERNING.
NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG OR THE SLIDING DOOR. WHY???
TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTICE IN LATE JULY 2016 ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. DUE TO TRAVEL, IT WAS A FEW WEEKS BEFORE I COULD TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER. I WAS OFFERED A TOYOTA CAMRY AS A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE, BUT I REQUESTED FROM TOYOTA USA, AND RECEIVED, AUTHORIZATION TO RENT A MINIVAN THROUGH ENTERPRISE. I PICKED UP THAT VEHICLE MID AUGUST 2016. IN NOVEMBER 2016 I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY VAN ALSO HAD A SLIDING DOOR RECALL. I INITIALLY STORED MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT WAS TOLD TO MOVE IT TO MY HOME IN LATE DECEMBER 2016. IT IS NOW LATE JUNE 2017 AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT EITHER OF THESE RECALLS. THE SAFERCARS.GOV WEBSITE SAYS THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR EITHER RECALL YET. ALMOST 11 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THE AIRBAG RECALL, AND 7 MONTHS ON THE SLIDING DOOR RECALL. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE WAITING TIME. YES, I HAVE A RENTAL CAR AVAILABLE TO ME, FOR WHICH I'M GRATEFUL, BUT IN THE MEANTIME MY OWN CAR IS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY, UNDRIVEN, AND BASICALLY ROTTING. TOYOTA HAS SPENT OVER $17,000 RENTING A VEHICLE FOR ME TO DRIVE, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST BOUGHT MY CAR FROM ME AND BEEN DONE WITH IT. I'M SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION. HOW MUCH LONGER AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT???
RECALL ON SLIDING DOORS. WAS STATED THAT THEY MAY "OPEN WHEN DRIVING" WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THEY "LIKELY WOULDN'T GET THE PART BECAUSE WE DON'T LIVE IN SUB ZERO TEMPS SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT" MEANWHILE I DRIVE FOUR CHILDREN IN THIS CAR SO I AM WORRIED ABOUT IT.
I RECEIVED TWO LETTERS IN THE MAIL FOR SAFETY RECALLS ON MY TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR (ZONE A) AS WELL AS EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER CABLE. I TRIED CONTACTING TWO DEALERSHIPS NEAR ME, AND THEY DID NOT TRY TO MEET BASIC SAFETY STANDARDS. THE DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME THAT I MUST WAIT SEVERAL MONTHS TO SOLVE MY ISSUES OR THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK SOON (AND OF COURSE, THEY DIDN'T). THE NEAREST ONE TO ME, BREDEMANN DEALERSHIP @ (847) 655-1435, TOLD ME THAT I MUST WAIT THREE MONTHS FOR SUPPLIES TO COME IN. MY LIFE AND SAFETY ARE ON THE LINE, AND I DO NOT WANT TO PUT MYSELF IN DANGER BECAUSE OF A DEALERSHIP'S LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MEETING BASIC SAFETY STANDARDS.
