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.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY VEHICLE HAS SUSTANTIAL FRAME RUST WHICH AFFECTS THE SAFE OPERATION AND THE RESALE/TRADE-IN VALUE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO OFFER ANY REMEDY BECAUSE THE FRAME REPLACEMENT PROGRAM ENDED IN 2012. MY VEHICLES FRAME PASSED A FRAME INSPECTION IN 2011 BY A LOCAL DEALER. I TOOK THEM AT THEIR WORD. I DONT FEEL THAT THE FRAME ON A 12 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD HAVAE SUCH A SHORT SERVICE LIFE. THIS IS A HARDSHIP FOR HUNDEREDS OF TUNDRA OWNERS WHO HAVE OTHERWISE GOOD VEHICLES THAT ARE NOW POTENTIALLY UN-SAFE AND UTTERLY WORTHLESS. THE DEALER DID OFFER TO PATCH THE FRAME IN ONE AREA BUT IT IS CORRODED IN SEVERAL AREAS. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AS TOYOTAS ACTIONS DID NOT GO FAR ENOUGH.

TOYOTA HAD A RECALL OF RUSTED OUT FRAMES FOR 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCKS. MINE WAS REPLACED, BUT NOW THE DIFFERENTIAL HAS RUSTED OUT AND IT REQUIRES AN ENTIRE NEW REAR AXLE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PART. THIS DEFECT COULD CAUSE THE REAR END TO LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES.
