RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED IN MARCH 2016. I CONTACTED TOYOTA SANTA MONICA (THEY ARE THE CLOSEST LOCATION TO HOME AND MOST CONVENIENT FOR WORK) AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME TO LET ME KNOW IF THE PART WAS IN. TWO WEEKS PASSED AND I CALLED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART AND WOULD GET A CALL WHEN IT CAME IN. TWO MONTHS LATER, I CALL AGAIN AND WAS INFORMED THE PART WAS BACKORDERED 4-6 WEEKS AND WOULD ONCE AGAIN RECEIVE A CALL TO LET ME KNOW WHEN I CAN BRING MY VEHICLE IN. ADMITTEDLY, THE NOTICE WAS FORGOTTEN AS I WAITED. I FOUND THE RECALL NOTICE AND CONTACTED TOYOTA SANTA MONICA ON JUNE 29, 2017 IN HOPES OF BRINGING IN MY VEHICLE ON JULY 5TH. I WAS TOLD THEY HAD ONE PART IN STOCK, BUT IF I WANT TO BRING MY CAR IN AT THAT TIME THEY WOULD HAVE TO PLACE AN ORDER. BECAUSE OF MY WORK SCHEDULE THE 5TH WAS THE BEST TIME FOR ME. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL THEN HAVE TO ORDER THE PART, BUT EVEN WITH THE HOLIDAY THEY SHOULD GET IT IN BY THE 5TH AND THEY WOULD CALL ME TO LET ME KNOW THE PART WAS IN FACT IN SO I COULD BRING IN MY VEHICLE. I CALLED AGAIN ON JULY 14TH AND SPOKE TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT OF TOYOTA SANTA MONICA. NOT ONLY WAS MY NAME AND NUMBER NOT IN THE SYSTEM, THERE WAS NEVER ANY ORDERS PLACED UNDER MY NAME. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THEY HAD PLENTY OF PARTS IN STOCK. I WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE SERVICE CENTER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WHERE NO ONE ANSWERED. JULY 17TH, I GET A HOLD OF THE SERVICE CENTER FOR TOYOTA SANTA MONICA WHERE I WAS ONCE AGAIN INFORMED THEY HAVE PLENTY OF THOSE PARTS IN STOCK AND OVER A YEAR LATER I FINALLY HAVE AN APPOINTMENT. I HAD CALLED FOUR TIMES AND FOUR TIMES I WAS TOLD AN ORDER WAS PLACED. NOT ONLY DID I NEVER RECEIVE ANY RETURNED CALLS, BUT THE PART WAS NEVER ORDERED UNDER MY NAME.

I AM UPSET THAT TOYOTA CORPORATION IS INSTRUCTING THEIR DEALERS TO NOT PROVIDE LOANERS OR FREE RENTALS TO USE DURING THE ACTUAL AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. THEY EXPECT YOU TO WAIT 4 OR MORE HOURS AT THE DEALERSHIP OR INCONVENIENCE AN ADDITIONAL PERSON TO DRIVE YOU TO AND FROM YOUR WORK OR HOME, ETC. COX TOYOTA IN BURLINGTON, NC ACTUALLY HAD THE NERVE TO SUGGEST I USE MY OWN MONEY TO RENT ONE OF THEIR CARS!.I REFUSE TO BE INCONVENIENCED DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE. IT ISN'T LIKE THEY HAVE CARS SITTING AROUND.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR ACCELERATES BY ITSELF DRASTICALLY MAKING ME ALMOST HIT A TREE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I MAKE THIS COMPLAIN TO TOYOTA. THEY TOLD ME THE FIRST TIME A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE ACCELERATION HAPPENS NOT IN A REGULAR BASIS BUT SPORADIC. THIS TIME IT HAPPENS WHEN I WAS GOING VERY SLOW AND THERE WERE CHILDREN PLAYING CLOSE TO MY HOME. I WAS VERY SLOW NO MORE 3 TO 5 MILES AND HOUR. I HAD TO HIT THE BREAKS VERY HARD TO STOP SINCE AS I WAS TURNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 15V285 PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT JACK TAYLOR'S ALEXANDRIA TOYOTA, LOCATED ON 750 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22305, HAS FAILED TO REPLACE AND REMEDY THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATORS FOR MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA AND MISLED ME REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF SAID PART ASSOCIATED WITH TOYOTA'S SAFETY RECALL. THE FIRST INITIAL APPOINTMENT MADE ON NOVEMBER 3, 2016 WAS SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 11, 2016. AFTER WAITING SIX HOURS AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS FOR MY VEHICLE. CONSEQUENTLY, I WAS ADVISED BY SERVICE CONSULTANT GERALD GERDES (HEREAFTER 'JERRY') THAT THE PART WOULD ARRIVE AT JACK TAYLOR'S IN ROUGHLY ESTIMATED FOUR TO SIX WEEKS. (SEE ATTACHMENT TITLED 'E-MAIL APPOINTMENT CONFIRMATION 1'). THEREAFTER, I CONTACTED JACK TAYLOR'S VIA PHONE ON DECEMBER 21, 2016 TO CHECK THE STATUS OF SAID PART'S ARRIVAL. AS SUCH, I WAS INFORMED THAT SAID PART HAD INDEED ARRIVED AT JACK TAYLOR'S WHEREBY THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, AND THUS I SCHEDULED MY SECOND APPOINTMENT ON DECEMBER 23, 2016 FOR 1:00 PM. (SEE ATTACHMENT TITLED 'E-MAIL APPOINTMENT CONFIRMATION 2'). NOTWITHSTANDING, JERRY CONTACTED ME VIA PHONE AND INFORMED ME ABOUT THREE AND A HALF HOURS LATER (APPROXIMATELY 4:43 PM) DURING THE DECEMBER 23RD APPOINTMENT THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PART. JERRY ALSO ADVISED ME THAT THEY WOULD ATTEMPT THEIR BEST EFFORTS TO LOCATE THE PART BUT THAT WAS TO NO AVAIL. THEREFORE, AFTER TWO MONTHS AND SPENDING ELEVEN HOURS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATORS WERE BEING REPLACED, MY VEHICLE IS STILL WITHOUT THE NECESSARY REPLACEMENT FOR THE RECALL. THIS IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING BECAUSE I TRAVEL FROM WASHINGTON, D.C. TO NEW YORK CITY ON A FREQUENT BASIS. THERE MUST BE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY FOR LACK OF GOOD-FAITH AND DISHONESTY HERE.

WENT TO RENEW SAFETY INSPECTION FOR THE STATE OF HAWAI'I, AND THEY FAILED ME FOR HAVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. AS IT HAPPENS, THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SIDE AIRBAG ON "SELECT TOYOTA MODELS". ALTHOUGH, THEY DIDN'T APPLY IT TO MY CAR. EITHER THAT, OR THE TECHNICIAN, WHO TOOK CARE OF IT BEFORE I OWNED IT, DIDN'T ACTUALLY FIX THE ISSUE, AND JUST SIGNED OFF ON IT. I'M STILL GUESSING THAT IT NEVER GOT ADDRESSED, BECAUSE TOYOTA HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VIN. THE LOCAL SERVCO TOYOTA SHOP WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE FOR FREE, IF THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL OR I DON'T HAVE THE NOTICE IN MY HAND. IN OTHER WORDS, I WILL BE ILLEGAL TO DRIVE, IN TWO DAYS.
