AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL--WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR RECALL OF SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS. WE HAVE BEEN VERY DISTRESSED REGARDING THE TAKATA BAGS CONTAINING SHRAPNEL-LIKE SUBSTANCES & TOLD REPLACEMENT BAG IN PASSENGER SIDE (THAT WAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE) IS ALSO DEFECTIVE. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED AS WE TRANSPORT GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER TO OUR FAMILY & WE WANT TO KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE SAFE. THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE RUSTING. WE GOT THE SPRAY DONE ON THAT. WHEN WILL THIS VEHICLE BE SAFE? IT HAS BEEN RELIABLE, JUST VERY STRESSFUL REGARDING SAFTEY ISSUES.

THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK WAS RECALLED FOR EXCESSIVE RUST. THE DEALER SPRAYED ON A COATING PER THE RECALL IN 2013. THE COATING HAS ALL FLAKED OFF AND THE FRAME IS LOSING CHUNKS OF RUST. TOYOTA KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ONCE THEY SPRAY THE DEFECTIVE COATING ON IT. THE TRUCK FRAME NEEDS REPLACED AND THEY WON'T DO IT. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IN ONE OF THESE TRUCKS WHEN THE FRAME BREAKS AT SPEED.

AIR BAGS
"TAKATA RECALL" ON OR AROUND AUGUST 23, 2016 I CALLED A TOLL FREE PHONE NUMBER EITHER OFF A RECALL NOTIFICATION FLYER I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL OR FROM A VOICE MESSAGE ON OUR HOME PHONE REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR ON MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK. THEY ASKED WHERE I WANTED MY VEHICLE FIXED AND I CHOSE WILDE TOYOTA (3225 S 108TH ST, WEST ALLIS, WI) SINCE THAT IS WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM AND HAVE DONE A VARIETY OF REPAIRS ON THIS AND OTHER VEHICLES. THE OPERATOR CALLED THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND I WAS NOTIFIED THE PART WOULD NEED TO BE ORDERED. I WASN'T GIVEN ANY TIME FRAME, BUT I ASSUMED IT COULDN'T TAKE LONG. I CALLED WILDE TOYOTA TODAY (SEPTEMBER 13, 2016), AND I WAS INFORMED IT WAS ORDERED AS PROMISED, BUT IT WOULD TAKE 3 MONTHS!! I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS. I WAS TOLD I SHOULDN'T HAVE SOMEONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HOW DOES TOYOTA EXPECT A VEHICLE TO BE USED FOR 3 MONTHS WITHOUT ALLOWING A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULDN'T HAVE AN INVENTORY ON HAND TO HANDLE QUICK TURNAROUND. I UNDERSTAND IT COULD BE HARD TO MANAGE , BUT 3 MONTHS IS RIDICULOUS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION: MY HUSBAND'S 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA ACCELERATED AT A VERY HIGH SPEED WHILE HE HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AT A STOP SIGN. HE HAD HIS BACK PUSHED UP AGAINST THE SEAT AND PUSHED AS HARD AS HE COULD ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE TRUCK TOOK OFF ANYWAYS AND HE WAS FORCED TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY HE WASN'T HIT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS TRUCK. IN JANUARY OF 2015 HE WAS BACKING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY WHEN HIS TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A VERY HIGH SPEED. HE PUT HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE TIRES KEPT SPINNING. HE PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND AFTER A FEW MORE SECONDS THE TIRES STOPPED SPINNING. WE CONTACTED TOYOTA AFTER BOTH OCCURRENCES, BUT THEY WON'T HELP US AT ALL. THEY SAY THAT THE TRUCK ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG AND CURTAIN SHEILD (CSA) AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE NHTSA RECALL:16V-065. NO COMPLICATIONS AS OF TODAY. 8/15/2015 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR FRONT PASSENGER AIR BACK AND NOTICE SAID NOT TO USE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND PARTS NOT AVAILABLE THAT A SECOND NOTICE WOULD BE SENT WHEN PART WAS AVAILABLE I HAVE HEARD NOTHING UNTIL TODAY 3/12/2016 I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE CURTAIN SHEILD AIRBAG (CSA) AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE AND THIS PART IS NOT AVAILABLE I WILL RECEIVE A SECOND NOTICE WHEN IT IS. I LOOKED UP THE RECALLS AND NOTICED THE FIRST PART IS AVAILABLE BUT HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA SO I CALLED THE VACAVILLE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE TRUCK AND WORKS ON IT TO FIND OUT WHY I WAS NOT NOTIFIED AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME RIGHT BACK IN 5 MIN. I'M STILL WAITING. TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIPS NEED TO GET MOVING ON THESE PARTS AND INSTALLATIONS NOW . THE THING I'M MORE WORRIED ABOUT NOW IS THAT WHEN THEY DO REPLACE THE BAGS THEY ARE GOING TO MESS SOMETHING ELSE UP OR PRETEND TO DO IT AND KEEP THE VEHICLE FOR DAYS AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST EVEN WITH AN APPOINTMENT AND SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS REPLACING THE BATTERY OR EVEN AN OIL CHANGE I'VE HAD TO RETURN BECAUSE THEY PUT THE OIL FILTER IN WRONG AND LEAKED NOT ONLY DID I HAVE TO DRIVE BACK BUT HAD TO WAIT FOR 2 MORE HOURS AT THE END OF THE LINE SPENT A TOTAL OF 4 HOURS WAITING FOR OIL CHANGE A RETURN VISIT TO FIX WHAT WAS NOT DONE RIGHT AND THEN 1/2 HOUR OF WAITING WHEN TRUCK WAS DONE BECAUSE NO ONE CAME TO LET ME KNOW LIKE THEY SAID . I FOUND MY TRUCK IN THE PARKING LOT AND HAD TO FIND SOMEONE TO FIND MY PAPER WORK AND SEE THAT IT WAS DONE ANOTHER 20 MIN.

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
