PAINT ON ROOF, HOOD, AND TRUNK HAD RAPIDLY RUSTED OVER THE PAST 3-4 YEARS. CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2005 IN CALIFORNIA BUT I'VE LIVED IN LOUISIANA FOR 8.5 YEARS (AS OF JAN 2018). THE ROOF IS COMPLETELY RED RUSTED, THE HOOD HAS WORN PAINT AND LOTS OF CHIPS, AND THE TRUNK IS BEGINNING TO GET THE SAME "SUN DAMAGE" LOOKING PAINT WEAR THAT THE HOOD HAS.

AIR BAGS
SUMMARY: THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS PRODUCED BY TAKATA. ACCORDING TO TAKATA, THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING HIGH TEMPERATURES. DEGRADED PROPELLANT CAN CAUSE INFLATOR RUPTURE DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. SAFETY RISK: IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. REMEDY: THE REMEDY WILL CONSIST OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG INFLATOR OR THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE MODEL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, WHEELS
I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN APRIL OF 2017 AND HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, TIRES ARE ALWAYS FLAT, STEERING DOESN'T WORK RIGHT, WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON IT SOUNDS REALLY LOUD. BROUGHT IT TOYOTA 10 TIMES AND THEY DID ANYTHING, THERE IS CONSTANT SQUEAK NOISE AND MY ROOF FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BLOW OFF WHEN I AM ON THE INTERSTATE. GAS MILEAGE SUCKS TOYOTA STATES I GOT BAD GAS SO THEY FLUSHED IT OUT BUT STILL HEAR THAT LOUD NOISE. MY TIRES I HAVE TO FILL UP ONCE A WEEK BUT THEY SAY THEY ARE FINE. EVERYTHING IN THIS CAR IS CHEAP AND I HATE IT. THEY CHARGED ME 26 GRAND FOR A 17 THOUSAND CAR WITHOUT ME EVER KNOWING BRANDON TOYOTA IS THE WORST.

TAKATA RECALL-DESPITE NUMEROUS CALLS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH STONE MOUNTAIN TOYOTA, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE 'S AIRBAGS REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN APPOINTMENTS ON NOVEMBER 2 AND DECEMBER 28 FOR THIS WORK TO BE PERFORMED, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD FOR THE NOVEMBER DATE THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE WHEN THEY WERE NOT AND THE DECEMBER DATE THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TECHNICIANS AT WORK THAT DAY. AT LEAST 3 EARLIER CALLS TO DETERMINE STATUS OF THE RECALL WERE NEVER RETURNED AND I HAVE BEEN LIED TO OR IGNORED AT EVERY TURN. IN ADDITION, I AM TOLD THAT THE WORK WILL TAKE AT LEAST 4 HOURS AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP OVERNIGHT TO GET THE WORK DONE. THIS IS IN CONTRAST TO NATIONAL NEWS REPORTS THAT HONDA DEALERSHIPS ARE SENDING TECHNICIANS TO CUSTOMERS RESIDENCES IF THE PARTS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED OUT STILL AND THE WORK WAS DONE ON SITE AT THE HOME IN 10 MINUTES. I THEREFORE SEE ABSOLUTELY NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THE DEMAND THAT I EITHER WAIT 4 HOURS OR LEAVE MY VEHICLE OVERNIGHT FOR STONE MOUNTAIN TOYOTA TO DO WHAT HONDA DEALERSHIPS ARE DOING IN 10 MINUTES. THE ADDRESS FOR STONE MOUNTAIN TOYOTA IS 4400 US HIGHWAY 78, LILBURN, GA 30047, PHONE 770-736-0030 AND MY LAST MESSAGE WAS LEFT WITH MR. SULLIVAN, THE SERVICE MANAGER, BUT HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE TO HELP ME EXPEDITE AND RECTIFY THIS ISSUE.
