2006 Toyota Corolla Complaint Log

I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT A RECALL FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WAS CURRENTLY IN PLACE. WHEN I TRIED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A 4-6 MONTH WAIT! THAT'S A LONG TIME TO BE DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE OR ARE THEY DISCRIMINATING AGAINST AN OLDER MODEL TOYOTA? ANYTHING I CAN DO TO SPEED THIS UP?

TAKATA RECALL: THE DEALERSHIP AND OTHERS I CONTACTED HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR OF THE RECALL. SO WHILE IT IS GREAT THAT NHTSA HAS HELPED TO GET TO THE STAGE OF A RECALL, IF THE REPAIRS CANNOT BE COMPLETED, IT IS NOT A GOOD THING. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM? (IN OTHER WORDS, HELP ME FIND A PLACE TO GET THE REPAIR OR TELL ME WHO TO CONTACT AT TOYOTA?) I AM UPSET ABOUT THIS.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA. LOCAL DEALER ESTIMATED 4 TO 10 WEEKS WAIT TIME FOR REMEDIATION. NOTICE CLEARLY SAYS THAT '' UNTIL REMEDY IS PERFORMED, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". SO I CAN'T OPERATE WITH PASSENGER. ITS REALLY A BIG ISSUE FOR ME AS MY WIFE NEEDS TO COME TO OFFICE IN THE SAME CAR WITH ME .IT'S CAUSING GREAT TROUBLE FOR OUR WORK AND ALSO FOR WEEK END ROUTINES/TRIPS. I HAVE REQUESTED DEALER SEVERAL TIMES MENTIONING ABOVE IMPACT HOWEVER THERE IS NO POSITIVE RESPONSE. RATHER THEY ARE CLAIMING IT AN ISSUE WHERE THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. MY CURRENT SITUATION IS THAT I AM TAKING PAID TAXI SERVICES FOR DROP AND PICK UP FROM OFFICES . IT'S COSTING AROUND $100 DOLLARS DAILY SINCE 3/30/2016.ANY IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION/REMEDY WILL HELP ME

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO PASSENGER IN THE SEAT AND THE SEAT IS EMPTY. IS THIS RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL? THE REPLACEMENT WAS DONE FOR THE TAKATA RECALL AND THE LIGHT STILL STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING.

MARCH 30, 2016 I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE REGARDING MY VEHICLE (VIN: [XXX]) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT ROHRICH TOYOTA AT 2020 WEST LIBERTY AVENUE, PITTSBURGH, PA ON FRIDAY, MARCH 4TH AT 1:00 P.M. THAT MORNING, A GENTLEMAN CALLED ME TO ASK IF I WOULD BE WILLING TO RESCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS SHORT-STAFFED. EVEN THOUGH, I HAD TAKEN THE DAY OFF WORK TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT, I SAID I UNDERSTOOD AND, SINCE I DID NOT KNOW MY WORK SCHEDULE AT THE TIME, WOULD CALL BACK TO RESCHEDULE. DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH, I WAS BUSY WITH WORK, SISTER'S SURGERY, AND A SCHEDULED VACATION, BUT I CALLED ROHRICH TO RESCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. IT WAS SCHEDULED ON MONDAY, MARCH 28TH AT 1:00 P.M. HOWEVER, ON SATURDAY, MARCH 26TH, ROHRICH LEFT A VOICE MAIL MESSAGE ON MY CELL PHONE TO SAY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS 'SHORT STAFFED' AND TO CALL BACK TO RESCHEDULE. I CALLED ON MARCH 28TH AND MADE THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY, TUESDAY, MARCH 29TH AT 1:00 P.M. I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND MY HUSBAND PICKED ME UP SO THAT WE COULD GO OUT FOR LUNCH. NOT 10 MINUTES LATER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED ME ON MY CELL PHONE TO TELL ME THEY 'DIDN'T HAVE THE PART' AND I COULD EITHER LEAVE THE CAR UNTIL TOMORROW, WHICH WOULD BE TODAY, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30TH OR PICK UP THE CAR AND RESCHEDULE AND, IF/WHEN I CALL TO RESCHEDULE, ASK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS THE PART. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? I REALIZE THIS IS A RECALL AND I WOULDN'T/SHOULDN'T BE A 'PAYING' CUSTOMER, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I DID NOT GO TO WORK BECAUSE OF SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS AND THIS IS THE THIRD TIME, THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN, THAT MY CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT IT WAS ON HESPERIAN AND TURNER IN HAYWARGOT, I WAS STOPPED GOT REAR ENDED PUSHED INTO ANOTHER CAR, THIS CAR IS TOTALED. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF.

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON HESPERIAN AND TURNER IN HAYWARD. I WAS COMPLETY STOPPED AND REAR ENDED PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. THE CAR IS TOTALED. TOYOTA TOOK WAY TOO LONG TO FIX THE PASSENGER AIRBAG I JUST GOT THE LETTER THEY HAD THE PARTS IN MY AREA.

TOW ON RIGHT REAREND IS OFF (-0.01). ONLY GET 20000 OUT OF ANY SET OF TIRES INSTALLED AND GARAGE TELLS ME IT IS DUE TO TOW BEING OFF.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V285000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

1. HAD TO CHANGE ALL AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS AT LEAST TWICE AT $400 A POP. 2. HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 COILS TO ENGINE AT A COST OF $810.53 3. HAD TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT DO IT FAILING WHILE OF I295 ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. AT A COST OF 3631.49 4. AFTER TRANSMISSION WORK HAD TO HAVE MY TRANSFER CASE INTERNAL SEALED AT A COST OF $711.55 WHEN WE BOUGHT THIS CAR AT TOYOTA IN DECEMBER 2005, WE WERE LED TO BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR WAS BUILT LONGEVITY OR FOR THE LONG HAUL WITH ONLY HAVING TO DO ROUTINE MAINTANCE WHICH I HAVE KEPT UP ON EVERY 5000 MILES AS RECOMMENDED BY TOYOTA. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE TRANSMISSION COST. FIRESTONE STATED THAT TOYOTA RECOMMENDS A TRANSMISSION SERVICE EVERY 50,000 MILES BUT MY MAINTANCE BOOK SAYS ONLY DO THAT IF YOU EITHER TOW, OFF ROADING, OR DIRT ROADS FOR LONG PERIOD OF THE TIME. I DID NEITHER, SO TOYOTA SAYS NO NEED TO DO SERVICE. I DID CONTACT TOYOTA ADVOCATE AFTER I HAD MY TRASMISSION DONE AT COTTMAN TRANSMISSION AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME CAUSE I WENT TO AN OUTSIDE VENDOR. MY CAR HAD ONLY 148,745 MILES. TOYOTA SAYS THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR TRANSMISSION UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL. FOR MY SEARCH ON THE INTERNET THERE IS DOCUMENTATION THAT TOYOTA KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS FAILING BUT DID NOT WANT TO DO A RECALL BUT WOULD ONLY COMPENSATE IF THERE IS A RECALL. I JUST WANT TO BE HEARD AND POSSIBLY COMPENSATED FOR SOME OF MY REPAIRS THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE I WANTED TO KEEP IT A LONG TIME AND NOW IT IS COSTING ME MORE THAN IT IS WORK.

"TAKATA RECALL" HAD TWO ACCIDENTS WHERE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. 1 ANOTHER CAR WAS DROVE INTO THE FRONT OF MY CAR CAUSING DAMAGE. 2ND HIT AN ICE PACK AND SLID INTO BACK OF ANOTHER CAR TOTALING THE CAR. AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE NEAR THE BEGINNING OF 2016. I TRIED REPEATEDLY (4-5 MONTHS) TO MAKE AN APPT WITH THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN ANTIOCH, CA TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR REPAIR ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART AND THAT 1) THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK BUT NEVER DID, OR 2) I WOULD HAVE TO KEEP CALLING BACK TO CHECK IN. FAST FORWARD 5 (6?) MONTHS LATER AND MY CAR STILL HASN'T BEEN REPAIRED. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO AT LEAST GET AN APPOINTMENT BY CALLING ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN CONCORD, CA BUT THE WAIT IS STILL 3 WEEKS OUT. VERY DIFFICULT AND FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE.

TAKATA RECALL - AFTER GETTING MY PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED IN FEB 2016 FROM THE TAKATA2015 RECALL, I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT NOW MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PER THE TOYOTA DEALER INVOICE # 451453, "OPEN IN D SQUIB CIRCUIT" AKA SPIRAL CABLE. THIS SHOULD BE PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL BUT I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF SUCH.

TAKATA INFLATES: EVER SINCE MY RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT SEVERAL MONTHS LATER. IT. HAS BEEN ON AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AND DISABLED. CAN U PLEASE TELL ME WHAT MAY BE THE PROBLEM OR TELL ME WHAT TO DO..

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SUFFERED FROM PAIN TO THE LOWER BACK AND NECK THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FROM THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGES TO THE BUMPER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND REPAIRED FOR EXTERIOR DAMAGES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

RECALL JULY 2015. TOYOTA DID NOTHING SAID THEY'D BE IN TOUCH, SAID "DON'T LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT" THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. A MAN DRIVING A TOYOTA WAS JUST KILLED WHEN HIS PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WENT OFF. I WANT TOYOTA TO REMOVE THE AIRBAG UNTIL THEY HAVE A FIX.

THE ENGINE IS STALLING. I NOTICED THIS AT LEAST A MONTH AGO. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 OR 6 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. IT FIRST OCCURRED WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE IN THE PARKING LOT AT SCHOOL. I DROVE MAYBE 5 OR 6 FEET LESS THAN 10 MPH THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. IT DID RESTART, BUT IT JERKED ONCE OR TWICE AND KEPT GOING. THE NEXT DAY, I WAS ABLE TO START CAR AND DRIVE A LITTLE FURTHER, MAYBE A MILE AT ABOUT 30 MPH. WHEN I ENTERED AN ENTRANCE RAMP ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF ACCELERATION. I HAD TO VEER TO THE SHOULDER. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK,THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A FEW MILES. THEN, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO EXIT ON A RAMP WHEN IT STALLED AGAIN. I EXITED FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO COMPOSE MYSELF BECAUSE THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE HONKING AND DRIVERS UPSET THAT VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT NOTICE. THE VEHICLE DID CUT OFF AT A HIGHER SPEED AS WELL. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN IT TURNED OFF, BUT IMMEDIATELY TURNED BACK ON WITHIN SECONDS. I WAS VERY CONCERNED FOR SAFETY WITH KIDS IN THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL HELLO. ON MY 2006 TOYOTA MATRIX XR, MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR. RECENTLY I BROUGHT IT INTO JIM COLEMAN TOYOTA IN BETHESDA, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ASSEMBLY, THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY, WHICH IS TRIGGERING THE CODE IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, FROM WHAT I AM READING ONLINE INCLUDING NHTSA, THE CLOCK SPRING IS PART OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE AIRBAG AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS PART IS OVER $1000, AND NOT FIXING IT PREVENTS ME FROM SELLING THE CAR. THE AIRBAG HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED, AND ACCORDING TO TOYOTA OF BETHESDA, THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE ASSEMBLY, PER THE RECALL, BUT JUST THE AIRBAG, WHICH I DID NOT THINK WAS UNDER RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL I BELIEVE TOYOTA AND THEIR DEALER, KOONS TOYOTA OF ARLINGTON, VA, HAVE FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. I HAVE WAITED FOR OVER 2 MONTHS TO HAVE THE DEFECT REMEDIED. THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER WAS COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL AND COULD NOT TELL ME WHERE I COULD OBTAIN A REPLACMENT. THE DEALER FAILED TO UPDATE ME WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE AND DID NOT RETURN MY PHONE CALLS.

WAS DRIVING WHEN AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON, HAVE CHECKED FUSES, CLEANED ALL ELECTRICAL LEADS AND IT REMAINS ON, BEEN ON SIX MONTHS NOW. AIRBAG RECALL FIXED TODAY, TOLD DEALER TO LOOK AT LIGHT. ONCE FIXED DEALER SAID LIGHT STILL ON BECAUSE THE STEERING SPRING COIL IN THE STEERING COLUMN HAS CUT SOMETHING THAT TURNS THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON, COST TO FIX $500. I SAID LET THE LIGT STAY ON THEN, HE SAID IT COULD AFFECT AIRBAG, IT MIGHT NOT DEPLOY.

TAKATA RECALL! THANK GOD, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED, HOWEVER, I AM WRITING IN COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SLOWNESS OF GETTING THE AIRBAGS REPLACED/FIXED IN MY VEHICLE IN REGARDS TO THE RECALL. EVERY TIME I GET INTO MY CAR, I FEAR THAT SOMETHING WILL MAKE THE AIRBAG(S) DEPLOY WHICH WILL INJURE OR KILL EITHER MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OR MYSELF, OR BOTH OF US. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND CANNOT AT THIS TIME AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH AN AGENCY REPRESENTATIVE AT LEAST TWO MONTHS AGO. THIS PERSON REALLY DID NOT OFFER ANY THING TO MY INQUIRY, ONLY THAT THAT THINGS WERE BEING EXPEDITED AND I SHOULD CHECK WITH MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. WHILE I DO UNDERSTAND THERE ARE LOGISTICS TO RESOLVING THIS ISSUE, THAT TAKATA OFFICIALS DRAGGED THEIR FEET, THAT THE "POWERS THAT BE" DON'T WANT TO INUNDATE THE DEALER(SHIPS) WITH AN OVERABUNDANCE OF REPAIRS AT THE SAME TIME, AND THAT, NOW, HAH IS BEING CONSIDERED, I NEED THOSE "POWERS" TO UNDERSTAND THAT ON TOP OF EVERY OTHER FEAR ONE HAS WHEN GETTING ON THE ROAD, WE DRIVERS, I, NOW HAVE THE REAL FEAR THAT A DEVICE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT ME AND MY FAMILY CAN NOW SERIOUSLY HARM EITHER ONE OF US AT ANY TIME. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING FAR TOO LONG FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE AT THE PLACE IT CURRENTLY IS. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO PERSONALLY CONTACT ME, EITHER MY MAIL, EMAIL OR PHONE, TO GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON WHEN MY VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED! HEARING OF ANOTHER FATALITY ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS DOES NOT ALLAY MY FEARS.

TAKATA RECALL - MY FAMILY IS MILITARY SO OUR CAR IS REGISTERED IN OUR HOME OF RECORD BUT DRIVEN WHERE WE ARE STATIONED. MY UNDERSTANDING, FROM VARIOUS SOURCES, IS THIS PROBLEM CAN BE EXACERBATED BY CLIMATE (I.E. HOT, HUMID AREAS) AND A VEHICLES AGE. IT JUST SO HAPPENS MY CAR IS REGISTERED IN THE NORTH WHERE IT IS COOLER BUT DRIVEN IN THE SOUTH WHERE IT IS HOT AND HUMID. MY CAR IS ALSO OLDER. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS CONCERN BUT BEEN TOLD THEY WILL NOT MAKE REPAIRS BASED ON WHERE THE CAR IS DRIVEN ONLY WHERE IT IS REGISTERED. THIS ACTION PLAN COMPLETELY NEGLECTS MILITARY PERSONNEL AND THEIR FAMILIES PUTTING THEM AT AN UNNECESSARY RISK BECAUSE OF LOGISTICS. I HOPE YOU WILL REQUIRE MANUFACTURERS TO REVISE THEIR ACTION PLAN TO ALLOW DEALERS TO MAKE REPAIRS BASED ON WHERE CARS ARE DRIVEN/INSURED (IT WOULD BE EASY ENOUGH TO PROVIDE PROOF OF INSURANCE) AND NOT WHERE THEY ARE REGISTERED. ADDITIONALLY IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT DURING MY CALL TO TOYOTA I WAS TOLD BY A REPRESENTATIVE THAT IF I WAS THAT CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY A RENTAL COULD BE ARRANGED THOUGH A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER BUT THAT DEALER HAS YET TO RETURN MY PHONE CALLS DESPITE 4 ATTEMPTS TO REACH THEM SINCE NOVEMBER 6, 2015. A FINAL CALL TO THE STORE MANAGER ON DECEMBER 4, 2015 MET WITH GREAT RESISTANCE AS I WAS TOLD TOYOTA COULD NOT MAKE THAT KIND OF PROMISE AND THAT THE RENTALS ARE SOLELY FOR THE DEALERSHIPS USE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V384000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THREE OTHER OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

"TAKATA RECALL". I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING MAC HAIK TOYOTA (2112 GULF FWY S, HOUSTON) FOR 5 MONTHS TRYING TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIRS AS OUTLINED BY THE AIRBAG RECALL. THE TOTAL 12 TIMES THAT I HAVE CALLED, THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THEY ARE OUT OF THE PARTS NECESSARY FOR THE REPAIRS. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS DEALERSHIP HAS NO INTENTION OF COMPLYING WITH THE RECALL IN ANY SORT OF TIMELY FASHION, IF AT ALL.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED AN UNDATED LETTER FROM TOYOTA EXPLAINING THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THE LETTER WAS RECEIVED IN AUGUST OR EARLY SEPTEMBER 2015. AS OF TODAY, 11/23/15, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER INDICATING WHEN IT WILL BE REPAIRED. I CALLED TOYOTA AT THE NUMBER ON THE LETTER. THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THE REPAIR WILL HAPPEN. THE CAR IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. THE LETTER ADVISES THAT THE SHORT TERM SOLUTION IS TO NOT LET ANYONE SIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE REPAIR.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHAT IS TOYOTA WAITING FOR TO GET THESE AIRBAGS REPLACED? LIVES WILL BE LOST IF ANY OF THESE AIRBAGS EXPLODE IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM WORRIED THAT MY AIR BAG MIGHT BE A BAD ONE. HOW CAN I GET TOYOTA TO REPLACE IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE? TOYOTA DEALER WILL NOT HELP AND SAYS THE REPAIR IS NOT READY? THIS IS A 2006 MODEL AND LAST TIME I CHECKED IT IS ALMOST THE YEAR 2016. RECALL FIX NOT READY???

QUITE SOME TIME AGO, I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT TOYOTA WOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM, SINCE IT WAS SERIOUS. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED SINCE FOR AN UPDATE OR HAVE I BEEN GIVEN A DATE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

A RECALL THAT COULD TAKE A YEAR OR MORE TO FIX IS RIDICULOUS. TO HAVE TO NOT ALLOW A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER TO RIDE IN THE VEHICLE FOR SUCH A LENGTH OF TIME IS UNREASONABLE. WHAT ABOUT THOSE SITTING IN THE SEAT BEHIND THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT? COULD SHARDS OF METAL PASS THREW IT INTO BACKSEAT PASSENGERS IN IT IF IT DEPLOYS? LIMITED MATERIALS IN NOT AN EXCUSE WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY. INCREASE PRODUCTION OR START PAYING FOR RENTAL CARS OR REPLACEMENTS IF IT WILL TAKE SUCH AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME.

I HAD MY BRAKE APPLIED AND WAS STOPPING ON CITY STREET AND ENGINE STARTED RACING AND IT HIT THE VAN AHEAD. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO THE PARK POSITION HOPING TO STOP THE RACING ENGINE, BUT, IT DIDN'T STOP. I AM SEEKING POSSIBLE SOURCE OF PROBLEM AS I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IT HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 34,000 MILES. CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED BUT I WANT TO BE SURE I CAN HAVE IT FIXED SO I DON'T INJURE OR KILL ANYONE,
