AIR BAGS
"TAKATA RECALL", AIRBAGS FAILED TO INFLATE. CAR WAS IN MOTION AND HIT A DEER ON HIGHWAY AND CAR IS NOW DEEMED TOTALED BY INSURANCE COMPANY ADJUSTER. RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO AND SUPPOSEDLY TAKEN CARE OF. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE IN VEHICLE WAS INSURED. I WONDER IF THERE WAS SOME FAULTY INSTILLATION OR THE AIRBAGS WERE EVEN REPLACED? THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE LOCATION TODAY IN ST. LOUIS, MO.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, SEAT BELTS
I PURCHASED MY CAR AS THE FIRST OWNER IN 2008 PAID CASH. WITHIN A FEW YEARS AN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I KEPT UP WITH ALL MAINTENANCE. I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF WHICH WAS STILL VALID AND BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND WHAT WAS EXACTLY WRONG - MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER NO REPLACE AND I WAS CHARGED OVER $1500. I TOOK THIS TO BUERU OF AUTOMOTIVE AND THEY RULED IN MY FAVOR SO NOW I WILL BE SUING YOUR COMPANY FOR MONIES OWED ON TOP OF OTHER THINGS DUE TO THE COMPANY NOT BEING WILLING TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK OR FIXING MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL DRIVER OF TOYOTA VEHICLES FOREVER AND A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NEVER GO OUT IN FIRST 5 YEARS - MY CAR IS STILL ON THE ROAD BUT DOES NOT GO BACKWARD - SO THERE IS SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS MODEL AMONGST OTHER THINGS. THE DEALERSHIP MANAGE TO BREAK MY HOOD AND THE STICK OF WHICH YOU PUT YOUR CAR INTO DRIVE WITH. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS JUST CLOVIS TOYOTA OR WHAT - BUT I AM TRULY DISAPPOINTED AS TO YOU HOW YOUR COMPANY HAS HANDLED MY SITUATION. NOT ONLY HAS YOUR COMPANY ROBBED MY FAMILY OF A CHRISTMAS, HARD EARNED MONEY AS A SINGLE PARENT BUT ALSO PUT US IN DANGER. MY AIR BAGS ARE BAD AS WELL AND I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION AND WHEN I PUT MY VIN IN WAY BACK WHEN- IT SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. RIDICULOUS. MY CAR IS JUST A MESS AND UNFORTUNATELY - I LOVE MY CAR. IT HAS BEEN MOST FAITHFUL AND GOD IS GOOD TO ME AND MY FAMILY - BUT YOUR COMPANY HAS NOT! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, SUSPENSION
I FOUND OUT THE CAR I PURCHASED FROM A DEALER IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES BEAKS AND ALIGNMENT. THE CAR HAD WRONG SIZE TIRES , THE BREAKS WERE UNEVEN ALSO WHEN I WOULD DRIVE OVER A PUDDLE IT WOULD SHAKE. I SPEND MONEY ON GETTING NEW TIRES PAYING FOR ALIGNMENT AND THE PROBLEMS CONTINUES, I FOUND THE AXLE AND POWER STEERING RACK WITH PART PROBLEMS. THAT NEED FIXING ALSO THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOT CENTERED AND THE WHEEL HUB HAS BROKEN ITS BOLTS I THINK ITS A FAULTY MANUFACTURE ISSUE. THE TMPS HAS ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH LIGHTING UP ON THE DASH BOARD AND NOT TURNING OFF TMPS I THINK IS THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE WHEELS.

ENGINE
WE GOT THE RECALL NOTICES FOR OUR TWO 2008 COROLLAS.. FOR THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V384000.. THEN WE GOT THE OTHER LETTER SAYING THAT WE CAN GO AND GET OUR CARS SERVICED. WE DID AND THERE THEY TOLD US THAT BOTH OUR CARS WERENT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. YET WHILE WE WHERE WAITING TO BE CALLED UP ONE OF THE MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT BOTH OUR CARS NEEDED TO GET WHATEVER THEY WHERE GOING TO DO TO THEM DONE.. EVER SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, FOR BOTH CARS.. WE HAVE SPENT A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TRYING TO PASS SMOG CHECKS IN CALIFORNIA... ARE THERE ANY I DONT KNOW RECORDS OF WHAT CIRCUIT BOARDS HAD THAT PROBLEM? I WANT FOR MY MECHANIC TO CHECK IF INDEED THE BOARD WE HAVE ON OUR CARS WASNT A PART OF THE RECALL OR IF WE GOT SCREWED... DO THE BOARDS HAVE SERIAL NUMBERS AND IS IT KNOW WHAT SERIAL NUMBERS NEEDED THE RECALLS. THE TOYOTA PEOPLE DIDNT EVEN OPEN THE HOOD OF THE CAR... WE WAITED A COUPLE HOURS TO FINALLY GET CALLED UP AND THEN THEY HAD THE CAR TWO MINUTES AND TOLD US OUR CAR WAS GOOD. THOUGH IT WASNT, IT HAD ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL.. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ALSO WHAT IT IS THEY SAID ABOUT THE RECALL ON OUYR CARS.. DID THEY SAY THEY FIXED THEM OR WHAT. THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO ME.. NOW UNFORTUNATELY THE KEPT THE RECALL NOTICES.. SO I DONT HAVE ANY OF THOSE.. EVER SINCE THAT RECALL ITS BEEN AN UPHILL BATTLE WIT THIS CAR.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2016. I HAVE SINCE BEEN WAITING FOR A CALL FOR WHEN THE PARTS HAVE ARRIVED. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CALLS. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 14TH. I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER OR FRIENDS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TOYOTA DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE READY, WHICH I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY FRUSTRATING PROCESS.

WE RECEIVED A RECALL REGARDING THE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE ON MARCH 2, 2016. AS OF TODAY, TOYOTA STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS READY FOR ME. TWO MONTHS AGO, THEY SAID THE PARTS WOULD BE READY BY NOW, AND JUST TODAY WHEN I CALLED THEM, THEY SAID THAT THE PARTS WILL NOT BE READY UNTIL ANOTHER TWO MONTHS. HAVING A MALFUNCTION AIRBAG IS A REALLY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT CAUSES ME TO BE ANXIOUS EVERYDAY WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA HAS BEEN IRRESPONSIBLE ON THEIR END AND THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU REGARDING THE RESOLUTION.

I CALLED A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 18, TO ORDER PARTS FOR A RECALL. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL ME WITH 2 TO 3 WEEKS WHEN THEY ARRIVE, OR CALL ME AND GIVE ME UPDATES AS TO WHEN THEY WOULD ARRIVE. TODAY IS AUGUST 28, AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. I EXPECTED THEY WOULD CALL ME, SO I FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT, BUT NOW I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE ALL MY ERRANDS ARE DONE BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW, AND I AM JUST REALIZING I HAVE HAD NO CALL, NO UPDATES, NOTHING FROM THEM IN OVER 2 MONTHS. MY REGISTRATION IS DUE IN NOVEMBER, AND I WORK WITH THE DMV, AND I KNOW IF YOU DO NOT TAKE CARE OF A RECALL BEFORE YOUR TAGS ARE DUE, YOU DO NOT GET YOUR TAGS. I DON'T WANT TO BE SCRAMBLING IN TWO MONTHS FOR SOMEONE TO GET ME MY PARTS. THIS IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. I CAN'T DRIVE SAFELY WITH ANYONE IN MY PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF THIS, AND YET, THE DEALERSHIP TAKES NO HEAT FOR THIS. THAT'S NOT RIGHT AT ALL.
