ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY DOOR LOCKS ARE FAILING. I HAVE HAD ALL THE MECHANISMS THAT LOCK AND UNLOCK MY DOORS REPLACED IN 6/2014. I HAD THE DRIVERS DOOR MECHANISM REPLACED A SECOND TIME IN 5/2015. NOW, THE DRIVER DOOR MECHANISM IS FAILING. IF IT IS LOCKED, I CANNOT UNLOCK; IF IT IS UNLOCKED, I CANNOT LOCK IT VIA "ELECTRICAL" FUNCTION. IE: KEY FOB OR DOOR SWITCH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OCCUPANTS WHEN NEEDING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE IF IN UNSAFE AREAS. THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN SOMEONE EXITS AND LEAVES A LOVE ONE INSIDE CREATES AN ISSUE. WE ALL TELL OUR LOVE ONES, "LOCK THE DOORS UNTIL I RETURN" WHEN WE MAKE A QUICK RUN INTO A STORE, ETC. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND MY WIFE JUST THE OTHER DAY. SCARRY!!!

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: THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE (REMEDY NOTICE) FROM TOYOTA MOTOR SALES USA STATES THAT THE REPAIR WILL TAKE APPROX. 2 HOURS. WHEN SCHEDULING THE DEALER REQUIRES TWO DIFFERENT VISITS. ONE TO INSPECT AND DISASSEMBLE THE AIRBAG AND THEN REASSEMBLES THE AIRBAG. THE PART IS ORDERED. ANOTHER APPOINTMENT IS REQUIRED TO INSTALL THE REPAIRED AIRBAG OR PART. THERE IS NO MENTION OF TWO APPOINTMENTS BEING REQUIRED TO REMEDY THE AIRBAG. CONTACTING TOYOTA DIRECTLY CONFIRMED THAT DEALERS ARE INFORMED THAT THIS REMEDY CONSUMERS TO VISIT THE DEALERS TWO TIMES AND ORDERING THE PART BETWEEN VISITS. THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE CONFIRMED THAT THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE DOES NOT CORRECTLY STATE THE TIME OR VISITS NEEDED TO REMEDY THE AIRBAG ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED AND THE SAFETY NOTICE NEEDS TO CORRECTLY INFORM CONSUMERS OF THE REQUIREMENT TO VISIT A TOYOTA DEALER TWO TIMES FOR 2 OR MORE HOURS EACH TO REMEDY THE ISSUE.

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.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I SENT A LETTER (ATTACHED) TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND TO TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION. THIS IS TOYOTA CORPORATE'S RESPONSE. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT A MAJOR CAR COMPANY ABLE TO SELL AND SERVICE CARS IN THE U.S. WOULD RESPOND IN THIS FASHION. THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THEY DIDN'T ACCEPT THE REQUIRED RESULTANT ACTION FROM THE CORROSION RECALL AND REMEDY. THEY SIMPLY PASSED BY TREATING THE FRAME (PATH OF LEAST COST AND EFFORT) AND DID NOT ACT IN GOOD FAITH NOW THEY HAVE A CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY AND SATISFACTION OF THEIR PATRONS. THE CASE MANAGER DID NOT SEE THE VEHICLE HIMSELF OR VIEW THE DAMAGE OR HAVE PICTURES PRIOR TO HIS RESPONSE. BELOW IS THEIR RESPONSE: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING TOYOTA.

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.
