HORN, AIRBAG AND CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT ON DO TO A BAD SPIRAL CABLE, THIS IS DANGEROUS. THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.
FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG AND CURTAIN SHEILD (CSA) AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE NHTSA RECALL:16V-065. NO COMPLICATIONS AS OF TODAY. 8/15/2015 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR FRONT PASSENGER AIR BACK AND NOTICE SAID NOT TO USE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND PARTS NOT AVAILABLE THAT A SECOND NOTICE WOULD BE SENT WHEN PART WAS AVAILABLE I HAVE HEARD NOTHING UNTIL TODAY 3/12/2016 I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE CURTAIN SHEILD AIRBAG (CSA) AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE AND THIS PART IS NOT AVAILABLE I WILL RECEIVE A SECOND NOTICE WHEN IT IS. I LOOKED UP THE RECALLS AND NOTICED THE FIRST PART IS AVAILABLE BUT HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA SO I CALLED THE VACAVILLE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE TRUCK AND WORKS ON IT TO FIND OUT WHY I WAS NOT NOTIFIED AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME RIGHT BACK IN 5 MIN. I'M STILL WAITING. TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIPS NEED TO GET MOVING ON THESE PARTS AND INSTALLATIONS NOW . THE THING I'M MORE WORRIED ABOUT NOW IS THAT WHEN THEY DO REPLACE THE BAGS THEY ARE GOING TO MESS SOMETHING ELSE UP OR PRETEND TO DO IT AND KEEP THE VEHICLE FOR DAYS AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST EVEN WITH AN APPOINTMENT AND SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS REPLACING THE BATTERY OR EVEN AN OIL CHANGE I'VE HAD TO RETURN BECAUSE THEY PUT THE OIL FILTER IN WRONG AND LEAKED NOT ONLY DID I HAVE TO DRIVE BACK BUT HAD TO WAIT FOR 2 MORE HOURS AT THE END OF THE LINE SPENT A TOTAL OF 4 HOURS WAITING FOR OIL CHANGE A RETURN VISIT TO FIX WHAT WAS NOT DONE RIGHT AND THEN 1/2 HOUR OF WAITING WHEN TRUCK WAS DONE BECAUSE NO ONE CAME
SINCE MY VEHICLE HIT ABOUT 50000 (THE DATE BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE) AND IT IS AT 79900 NOW WHEN I PARK AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND REMOVE THE KEYS AND ROLL UP THE WINDOWS AND LOCK THE VEHICLE AND LEAVE IT A VAST MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE POWER DRIVERS WINDOW ROLLS ITSELF DOWN AT SOME POINT BETWEEN TWO MINUTES AND MANY HOURS LATER ALLOWING FOR ANYONE TO TAMPER WITH ANY OF THE TRUCKS INTERIOR SAFETY DEVICES AND LEADING TO POSSIBLE THEFT OF THE VEHICLE, ITS PARTS AND CONTENTS. IN ADDITION WHETHER THE WINDOW ROLLS ITSELF DOWN OR NOT THE VEHICLES ALARM WILL SOMETIMES SOUND WHEN THERE IS NOBODY NEAR THE VEHICLE AND AFTER HAVING IT CHECKED OUT BY A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHO HAD NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING IT NOR HOW TO FIX IT AND SENT ME AWAY WITH PROBLEM UNRESOLVED I HAVE TO OPEN THE HOOD EVERY TIME I PARK AND MANUALLY UNHOOK THE NEGATIVE LEAD TO THE BATTERY WHICH FURTHER EXPOSES ME TO POTENTIAL INJURY EITHER FROM BATTERY MALFUNCTION OR ENGINE MALFUNCTION DUE TO THE CONSTANT DISABLING AND REENABLING OF POWER TO THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND TO MY PERSON DUE TO BEING STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BY STANDING ON FRONT OF MY TRUCK WITH MY VIEW OF MY SURROUNDINGS BLOCKED BY THE RAISED HOOD AND OTHER DRIVERS VIEW OF ME IN THAT UNEXPECTED LOCATION AS I AM IN LARGE PART BLOCKED FROM VIEW BY THE RAISED HOOD. THIS HAS BEEN WITNESSED BY MY MECHANIC AND HIS EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS FAMILY MEMBERS
TAKATA RECALL HOOVER TOYOTA, BIRMINGHAM AL SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO THE RECALL BECAUSE WE HAD REPLACED THE TRUCKS FAILED COMPUTER WITH A USED MODEL. THEY SAID THAT SINCE WE DID NOT USE AN DEALERSHIP TO DO THE PREVIOUS REPAIR THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HOLD THE CAR UNLESS WE SIGNED A RELEASE OF LIABILITY FORM IF WE PICKED UP THE TRUCK WITHOUT PAYING THEM TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER AGAIN. CALLS TO TOYOTA CORPORATE RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE. AFTER A COUPLE HOURS OF THREATENING, THEY MANAGED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. THEIR REASONING FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THE REPLACEMENT WAS THAT THEY COULD NOT DO A HEALTH CHECKUP ON THE TRUCK BECAUSE THE VIN NUMBER IN THE TRUCKS COMPUTER DID NOT MATCH THE TRUCKS VIN NUMBER.
TAKATA RECALL. WAS MADE AWARE OF RECALL VIA THE MEDIA. VERIFIED BY USING WEB SITE AND VIN #. CONTACTED DEALER (MIKE JOHNSON'S TOYOTA OF HICKORY), WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE LIST. IN DEC. 2015, RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INDEED ON THE LIST. CONTACTED DEALER 5 TIMES SINCE, EACH TIME WITH PROMISE TO CHECK AND CALL ME BACK. LAST TIME 2 WEEKS AGO. NO CALL BACK. I NEED (1) REPAIRS DONE, OR (2) WRITTEN NOTICE MY VEHICLE IS SAFE FOR FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS, OR (3) A LOANER VEHICLE. I THINK 3+ MONTHS WITH NO REPAIRS OR EVEN A SCHEDULED REPAIR IS INDEED EXCESSIVE.

WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE AIR BAG REPLACEMENTS FOR THE RECALL DONE. SO FAR NONE ARE AVAILABLE. WE RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA AND IT HAS THE WARNING NOT TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS HAS MADE OUR VEHICLE UNABLE TO BE USED FOR MOST OF 2015. WE ONLY PUT 1,000 MILES ON IT. WITH THEM GIVING US THE WARNING THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND IF WE WERE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT TOYOTA'S LIABILITY WOULD BE VOID SINCE THEY SENT OUT A NOTIFICATION LETTER PER OUR ATTORNEY. I WANT THEM TO BUY BACK OUR VEHICLE SO WE CAN REPLACE IT WITH A TRUCK THAT IS SAFE FOR US TO USE. AS IT NOW E CANNOT SELL IT AND AVOID THE LIABILITY IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN WITH THE NEW OWNER. MY HUSBAND HAD AN ACCIDENT LAST JANUARY AND NEITHER OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

SECONDARY INJECTION PUMP TRIGGER A LIMP MODE WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON ALL VEHICLE EXCEPT THE 2005, 2006, 2007 WHICH HAVE THE EXACT SAME AIR PUMPS INSTALLED. THIS REPAIR IS COSTING TOYOTA OWNERS IN EXCESS OF $3,000.00 WITH VEHICLES HAVING HAVING LESS THE 100K MILES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN EMISSION ISSUE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD ADDRESS, THE U.S. HAS MADE VW RESPONSIBLE FOR THERE SHORTCOMINGS I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER BECAUSE THE PLASTIC FAN IN THE SECONDARY INJECTION SYSTEM BROKE AND THE PIECES BLEW INTO THE EXHAUST PORTS AND MELT, STICKING UP THE EXHAUST PORTS. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T RUN RIGHT AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF A DESIGN PROBLEM. TOYOTA ACCEPTS THE PROBLEM AND HAS EXTENDED THE VEHICLE WARRANTIES FOR THE 2007-2010 MODEL YEARS, BUT NOT FOR MY MODEL YEAR. REPAIR HAS COST ME OVER $3,000 FOR THEIR MISTAKE. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

CAN YOU HELP US HERE???
THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING RUSTED THROUGH SO THAT THE LUBRICATING FLUID LEAKED OUT ONTO THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED BOTH WHEN THE TRUCK WAS MOVING AND AT REST. TOYOTA HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE VEHICLE FRAME AS RAPID CORROSION AND RUSTING CAUSED A RECALL. THE DIFFERENTIAL TRANSFERS POWER TO THE REAR WHEELS SO THE LACK OF LUBRICATION COULD HAVE CAUSED THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A REAR END COLLISION OR COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL AT HIGH SPEED. USED REPLACEMENT DIFFERENTIAL HOUSINGS ARE UNAVAILABLE BECAUSE OF HIGH DEMAND DUE TO FAILURE OF ORIGINALS DUE TO RUST.

RECALL STATES SERIOUS INJURY OF DEATH MAY OCCUR IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS. THIS SERIOUSLY LIMITS THE UTILITY OF THE VEHICLE SINCE NO ONE CAN RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT - LIMITING THE PASSENGERS TO FOUR. TOYOTA HAS MADE NO EFFORT TO MITIGATE THIS PROBLEM - AN UNKNOWN REPLACEMENT DATE IS NOT A GOOD FAITH EFFORT. TOYOTA NEEDS TO TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. TWO DOOR TRUCKS HAVE SWITCHES TO TURN OFF THE AIR BAG WHEN CHILDREN ARE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHY NOT SIMPLY DISCONNECT THE SWITCH SO THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. TO NOT DO SO, DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. I KNOW THAT IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH, AIR BAGS CAN SAVE LIVES - EXCEPT IN THIS CASE WHEN THEY WILL DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD. TOYOTA HAS ABSOLVED ITSELF OF LIABILITY BY PROVIDING NOTIFICATION - BUT 5 MONTHS WITHOUT TAKING ANY KIND OF ACTION TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM IS EXCESSIVE. IT IS TIME TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM OR I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU TELL TOYOTA THEY NEED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A NEW TRUCK - THAT WOULD PROBABLY GET THEIR ATTENTION. (IS THERE ANY OTHER AGENCY I CAN CONTACT TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT?)

NOTIFIED OF SAFETY RECALL ON OR ABOUT 6/16/2015, DEALER# D3F, NHTSA ID# 15V285 AND AN INTERIM NOTICE SOMETIME AFTER THAT FOR FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS. AS OF YET NO PARTS HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE IN NJ. AND NO PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? TAKATA APPARENTLY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE EARLY 2013 AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE?? AND WHILE MY VEHICLE WASN'T ADDED TO THE LIST UNTIL 6/2015, THE COMPANY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WELL BEFORE THAT. HAVING TO WAIT 4-6 MONTHS (IF I'M LUCKY) FOR A RECALLED PART IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I REALIZE THERE ARE MANY, MANY VEHICLES INVOLVED BUT REALLY?? SOME PEOPLE MAY ACTUALLY NOT HAVE THEIR VEHICLES FULLY OPERATIONAL OR SAFE FOR UPWARDS OF 2.5 YEARS? IS TAKATA OR TOYOTA GOING TO PAY US FOR THE TIME THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT FULLY OPERATIONAL BECAUSE WHEN I BOUGHT MY TRUCK I INTENDED ON GETTING FULL SAFE USE OUT OF IT NOT PARTIAL USE. SORRY TO BLOW OFF STEAM ON YOU BUT I AM VERY FRUSTRATED, DISAPPOINTED AND CONCERNED WITH THIS WHOLE SITUATION AS I'M SURE MANY OTHERS ARE. IN ANY EVENT, IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON WHEN THIS PART WILL BE AVAILABLE IN NJ PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
I WENT TO A CERTIFIED TOYOTA DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY NOTIFIED ME ABOUT THE MASSIVE CORROSION ON THE FRAME THAT DO NOT REFLECT THE AGE OR THE OVERALL CONDITION OF MY VEHICLE. THEY STRONGLY RECOMMEND ME TO STOP DRIVING THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY DUE TO THE HIGH DEGREE OF DAMAGE ON THE ENTIRE BODY. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM GRIECO MAZDA OF DELRAY BEACH ON 10/13/15. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED AT ALL PRIOR TO SELL IT TO ME BECUASE GRIECO MAZDA DID NOT MENTION THIS MASSIVE CORROSION WHILE DOING THE BUSINESS.
RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ON JUNE 16 2015 SAYING THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH SOMEONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO FAULTY AIR BAG INFLATOR WHICH MAY RUPTURE AND SERIOUSELY INJURE THE PASSENGER. NOTICE SAID THAT THE DEALER WOULD REPLACE THE ITEM WHEN THEY GET THE PARTS. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 2, 2015 AND THE DEALER STIL NOT HAVE THE PART. TOYOTA SAYS THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND DOES NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR THE LARGEST CAR MANUFACTURER IN THE WORLD NOT TO HAVE A PART NEEDED TO FIX A POTENTIALLY FATAL DEFECT OVER 3 MONTHS FROM NOTIFICATION. IN THE MEAN TIME MY USE OF THE TRUCK IS SEVERELY RESTRICTED, I CAN'T SELL THE TRUCK DUE TO DISCLOSURE ISSUES. THIS IS ANOTHER CASE OF PUTTNG CORPORATE PROFITS AHEAD OF CUSTOMER'S LIVES. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE LETTER FROM TOYOTA COMPANY SEVERAL WEEKS AGO INFORMING ME THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IN MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA MAY EXPLODE METAL CHARDS WHEN ACTIVATED WHICH MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THEY ADVISED ME THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE NOW, BUT WILL INFORM ME WHEN PARTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE IN THIS GEOGRAPHIC AREA AND THE LOCAL DEALER WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLE. IN THE MEAN TIME THEY SAY "UNTIL THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE IN YOUR LOCATION, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." WHEN I RECEIVED THE LETTER, I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY INDICATE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS. SEVERAL WEEKS HAVE PASSED AND I CANNOT SAFELY USE MY VEHICLE. THE LETTER INDICATED THAT TOYOTA WOULD INFORM ME WHEN THE NEW PARTS HAD BEEN PRODUCED AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER. I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM. THE TOYOTA CO. SHOULD IMMEDIATELY REPAIR MY VEHICLE OR PROVIDE ME A LOANER VEHICLE SO THAT I MAY RESUME MY TYPICAL EVERDAY ACTIVITIES. P.S. THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN INCIDENT. THE AIR BAG IS STILL INTACT, I ONLY INDICATED TODAYS DATE AS" INCIDENT DATE" TO COMPLETE A REQUIRED FIELD ON THE FORM SO IT CAN BE SUBMITTED.

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.
