TAKATA RECALL MY CAR WAS RECALLED MAY 23, 2016. THE DOCUMENTATION WE RECEIVED ADVISED TO NOT HAVE ANYONE USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SINCE IT IS THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 28, 2016 AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX OR TIMELINE FOR THE FIX AVAILABLE EVEN THOUGH I AM CONSIDERED IN THE 1ST WAVE OF FIXES WHERE IS SAYS TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION IF AFTER 5 MONTHS THERE IS STILL NO FIX AVAILABLE? I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY AND THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ON A TIMELINE EITHER. I AM UNABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY ENTIRE FAMILY WITHOUT THE USE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HOW LONG ARE WE EXPECTED TO HAVE HALF A CAR? I MUST USE THIS CAR TO TRANSPORT A TODDLER. HOW CAN I BE ASSURED THAT EVEN WITH NO FRONT PASSENGER THAT SHE WILL BE SAFE IN HER CARSEAT IN THE BACKSEAT? I HAVE READ WHERE EVEN THE THE AIRBAG IS NOT ON, THE INFLATOR COULD STILL HAVE ISSUES IN A COLLISION. IS THIS INFORMATION CORRECT? I AM WORRIED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY BUT I CANNOT AFFORD A DIFFERENT VEHICLE AT THIS TIME, NOT LIKE ANYONE WOULD TAKE IT AS A TRADE IN EVEN IF I COULD AFFORD IT.
WE WERE SENT A SAFETY RECALL ON OUR YARIS ON MAY 23, 2016! NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V-340! STILL NO FIX ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THIS CAR IS A WORK CAR AND USED ON DAILY BASES! IT IS A DANGEROUS FOR THIS AIR BAG TO NOT GET FIX ASP!

TAKATA RECALL - IT'S BEEN 5 MONTHS THAT I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY CAR BECAUSE THEY'VE NOT IDENTIFIED A SOLUTION FOR THIS AIRBAG RECALL. THE RECALL INSTRUCTIONS STATE NOT TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE. CAN THEY PLEASE SEND SOME KIND OF UPDATE OR FIX DATE FOR THIS RECALL?
TAKATA RECALL. THERE IS AN AIRBAG RECALL THAT AFFECTS MY YARIS. THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG CAN SEND HOT METAL ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG DURING DEPLOYMENT. TOYOTA RECOMMENDS THAT NO ONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED. THE RECALL CAME OUT IN EARLY JUNE FOR MY YARIS, YET BY EARLY OCTOBER THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A COROLLA THAT HAD THE SAME AIRBAG ISSUE, BUT THE FAULTY AIRBAG WAS REPLACED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR THE YARIS AT THIS TIME AND IT IS CAUSING ME HARDSHIP BECAUSE I CAN'T HAVE A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT RIGHT SEAT. MY TOYOTA DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS NO ANTICIPATED REPLACEMENT DATE FOR THE AIRBAG, SO THE ISSUES I HAVE WILL CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST THE NEAR FUTURE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE RESPONSE BY TOYOTA ON THIS ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY YARIS FIXED SO I CAN USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.
I BEEN SENT A SAFETY RECALL ON MY CAR. WE ARE IN THE RED ZONE , I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER CAR. I HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN INFORMATION ON WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO CALL ON WHAT TO DO IF I HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO GET AROUND.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO WAIT THIS MANY YEARS FOR A FIX TO THESE DANGERS. I DEMAND YOU FORCE TOYOTA TO GET A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER FIX FOR THESE AIR BAGS. I EXPECT A RESPONSE IN 10 BUSINESS DAYS TO EMAIL [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
TAKATA INFLATORS. I WAS NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA ABOUT THE RECALL OVER A MONTH AGO. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL I AM IN HIGH RISK ZONE BECAUSE I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM ABOUT GETTING A REPLACEMENT. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND WRONG. MY KIDS ARE ALWAYS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN I DRIVE THEM PLACES AND ARE IN MORTAL DANGER. WHEN ARE THESE RECALLS GOING TO BE REMEDIED? IS THERE A TIME LIMIT? I SHOULDN'T BE EXPECTED TO PUT MY PASSENGERS IN DANGER EVERYTIME I DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL: FORTUNATELY NOTHING SERIOUS HAS HAPPENED, OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATES I SHOULD NOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AS IT MIGHT END IN INJURY OR DEATH. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH SINCE I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE AND TOYOTA HAS YET TO OFFER A FIX FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT IN BOTH PERSONAL AND BUSINESS AS I USE MY CAR TO CARRY ENOUGH PASSENGERS TO REQUIRE AN INDIVIDUAL TO BE IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE ONLY RESPONSE I GET FROM TOYOTA IS THAT I NEED TO WAIT AND WORSE, THEY CANNOT GIVE ME ANY KIND OF DATE. THEY ARE PUTTING ME IN THE POSITION THAT I MAY NEED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THEN I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL MINE WITH A KNOWN RECALL THAT HAS NO STATUS ON WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. TOYOTA HAS PUT ME INTO A FINANCIAL BIND THAT MAY REQUIRE I TAKE A RISK WITH AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHICH IN TURN COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. IT'S AS IF THEY ARE OKAY WITH DEALING WITH A FEW DEATHS RATHER THAN SPENDING THE MONEY TO FIX THE ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION IN REGARDS TO THE TAKATA RECALL.

BROKEN BOLT ON LOWER CONTROL ARM / ONLY 90000 MILES DRIVEN TO WORK ONLY / NOT ABUSED
I WAS LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES FROM HOME, ON MY WAY TO TAKE MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN OFF THE STREET FROM MY NEIGHBORHOOD, UNTO THE SERVICE ROAD THAT LEADS TO THE RAMP FOR THE HIGHWAY ENTRANCE. AS I HEADED TOWARDS THE RAMP THAT ENTERS UNTO THE HIGHWAY, THE 2008 TOYOTA YARIS FELT LIKE IT SUDDENLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE. DESPITE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKES, THE CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I SWERVED BACK UNTO THE SERVICE ROAD TO AVOID CONTINUING UNTO THE RAMP, IN FEAR THAT I WOULD CRASH INTO THE CARS ON THE HIGHWAY. TO AVOID HITTING ANY VEHICLES ON THE SERVICE ROAD, I MANAGED TO SWERVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ? WITH THE CAR FINALLY STOPPING WHEN IT CRASHED INTO A POLE. MY CHILDREN AND I SUFFERED SEAT BELT BRUISING AND CUTS. I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR A FEW DAYS FOR HAND, FOOT, AND BACK INJURIES, AND STILL UNDER DOCTOR'S CARE FOR THE INJURIES. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOST. I HAVE MY SERVICE RECEIPTS REFLECTING THAT I KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR. IN ADDITION, I HAD THE BRAKES SERVICED IN OCTOBER OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR...UPDATED 03/15/16 *BF.....UPDATED 03/31/16 *BF UPDATED 6/11/18*JB

I AM A RETIRED AUTOSHOP TEACHER {2 YEARS} AND AM ASE CERTIFIED IN, AMONG OTHERS, SUSPENSION AND STEERING. WHILE DRIVING MY YARIS, STARTED TO HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. SUDDENLY, A LOUD BANG WHILE SOMETHING BROKE OFF THE CAR AND HIT THE UNDERBODY. ON INSPECTION, DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM REARWARD BOLT, WHICH EXTENDS THROUGH A CENTER SUPPORT AND IS BOLTED TO THE VEHICLE BODY, HAD SNAPPED OFF ABOUT HALFWAY. I DROVE THE CAR HOME, ABOUT 3 MILES, BUT THE DRIVEABILITY OF THE VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED, THE STEERING BECAME VAGUE AND THE NOISE BECAME LOUDER AND LOUDER. THERE IS A TSB, NUMBER 005-11 ON THIS PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA FAILS TO ADMIT IN THIS OR EARLIER TSBS THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM, WHICH IN MY OPINION, IT CLEARLY IS. THIS IS NOT AN UNUSUAL PROBLEM, AS AN INTERNET SEARCH FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IN A RECALL!

AFTER WASHING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR, THE CEL CAME ON. FIVE P CODES CAME UP ON SCANNER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT WATER GOT INTO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT ALONG WITH OTHER RELATED PARTS TOTAL COST TO ME $1027.83 WHICH INCLUDES NYS TAX NOT INCLUDING LABOR CHARGE. TOYOTA HAS CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM ON THE NEWER MODELS BUT MINE WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMIT TO A DEFECT. INCLUDED IN THE PARTS LIST IS SOME SORT OF WATER DEFLECTOR SO THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. TOYOTA SAID THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO WARRANT A RECALL. I LIVE IN UPSTATE NEW YORK WHERE SALT IS USED ON THE ROADS AND IT IS ADVISABLE TO WASH UNDER THE VEHICLE. ALSO, IT DOES RAIN ON OCCASION AND WATER IS SPLASHED UP UNDER THE CAR. I NOW HAVE 57000 MILES ON THE CAR WITH NO CHANCE OF PASSING INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD THAT IN THE EVENT OF A RECALL, I COULD BE ENTITLED TO A REFUND. I THINK THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT BOTHER TO LODGE A COMPLAINT SO NO CHANCE OF A RECALL.

WHEN I TRIED TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN, BY CLICKING ON THE BUTTON, THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE THAT CAUSED SMOKE INSIDE THE CAR. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO VERIFY MY BREAKS AND AIRBAGS. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING MY CAR IN EITHER MONDAY, TUESDAY, THURSDAY, OR FRIDAY.
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING AND MY CAR STOPPED OUT OF NOWHERE AND IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO A REPAIR CENTER JUST TO FIND THAT I HAD NO GAS EVENTHOUGH THE DASH INDICATED I STILL HAD A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF A TANK OF GAS . I WAS INFORMED THAT I COULD EITHER BUY A NEW GAS TANK WHICH WOULD COST A LOT OR KEEP TRACK IF THE MILES AND FILL THE GAS TANK ACCORDINGLY. I WAS ABOUT TO GET ON THE FREEWAY IF THIS WOULD IF HAPPENED THERE IT COULD OF CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I WAS ALSO TOLD AT THE REPAIR CENTER THAT THIS IS COMMON IN YARIS AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH AND GOING ON TO FORUMS MYSELF I FOUND MANY YARIS OWNERS HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS. *TR

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.
