TAKATA RECALL - AIR BAG LIGHT POPPED ON WHEN CAR WAS STATIONARY. TOOK IT INTO THE TOYOTA DEALER TO CHECK IT OUT. THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM FROM THE DEALER IS THAT THE AIR BAG IN PASSENGER SEAT HAS AN INTERMITTENT OPEN. CAN I GET AN APPROVAL VOUCHER TO FIX THIS AIR BAG AT NO COST? THE QUOTED AMOUNT TO GET THIS FIXED IS $827.10 PLUS TAX.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (TEAM TOYOTA OF GLEN MILLS, PA) MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED AND I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL FROM TOYOTA. THE DEALER ALWAYS CLAIMS THEY DON'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND WON'T HAVE THE PARTS FOR A LONG TIME. HOW CAN I GET THE AIR BAG REPLACED?

TAKATA RECALL THIS COMPLAINT IS RELATED TO THE FACT THAT I WAS NOTIFIED MORE THAN SIX MONTHS AGO REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL AND WAS INITIALLY TOLD BY A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD BE REPLACED BEGINNING IN SPRING. IT IS NOW DECEMBER AND THEY FINALLY GOT THE PARTS IN. THIS WAS NOT FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER, CAUSING UNDUE STRESS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AUDIO/NAVIGATIONAL UNIT IS NOT FUNCTIONAL, RENDERING ALL FEATURES (OTHER THAN ACTUAL MOBILITY) NON-FUNCTIONAL - I TRAVEL/LIVE IN A HANDS FREE CITY/STATE, AND SPECIFICALLY PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE FOR AUDIO/NAVIGATIONAL UNIT AND THE BLUE TOOTH TECHNOLOGY. ALSO, FLASHES LIGHT UNCONTROLLABLY WHILE IT CONSTANTLY REBOOTS (DISTRACTION - ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT AND DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER). CANNOT ACCESS DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION ON VEHICLE (TIRES, ENGINE, ETC.) AS PROMOTED/PROMISED FROM ENTUNE SOFTWARE. TOYOTA HAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THE UNIT (T-SB 0172.16) AND STATES IT WAS DUE TO WARRANTY EXPIRATION, BUT NEVER NOTIFIED CUSTOMER (I.E. ME) ABOUT ISSUE EVEN WHEN I REACHED OUT TO TOYOTA TO RESOLVE. EVEN WHEN I NOTIFIED A LOCAL SERVICE/DEALERSHIP, THEY IGNORED MY SAFETY CONCERNS. ORIGINALLY TOYOTA SAID THEY WOULD HELP (SEPTEMBER), NOW (DECEMBER) THEY ARE STATING THEY WILL NOT.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON NOVEMBER 22, 2017 CLOSE TO 3 P.M., I WAS DRIVING A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA IN THE PASSING LANE ON I-90 EAST NEAR SYRACUSE, NY. THERE WAS A WHITE FORD PICKUP TRUCK DRIVING IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS A POLICE CAR'S FLASHING LIGHTS AHEAD OF US IN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. BOTH THE PICKUP TRUCK AND I MOVED INTO THE RIGHT LANE. THE FORD PICKUP HIT THEIR BRAKES, AT WHICH POINT I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES. THE COROLLA SLOWED DOWN FOR A SPLIT SECOND, AND THEN THE BRAKES GAVE WAY. I WAS PUSHING DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY THE WHOLE TIME, BUT THE COROLLA CONTINUED TO GO FORWARD AT THE SAME SPEED. THE COROLLA THEN HIT THE REAR OF THE FORD PICKUP TRUCK. MY EYEGLASSES FLEW OFF MY FACE, AND MY DRIVER'S SEATBELT CAUGHT, BUT THE COROLLA FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT, THE COROLLA WAS TOTALED. HAD THE COROLLA'S BRAKES FUNCTIONED PROPERLY, I BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE COME TO A FULL STOP AND NOT HIT THE FORD PICK UP TRUCK.

I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE RIGHT NOW TAKING NAMES AND NUMBERS AND PEOPLE ARE BEING PUT ON A LIST AND WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN MY NAME CAME UP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I ASKED WHAT WAS THE LIST FOR SHE TOLD ME THIS IS THE PROCESS THEY ARE DOING RIGHT NOW TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS. LAST YEAR THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED WITH MY HONDA CIVIC AND THE HONDA DEALER LET ME KNOW THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART AND WOULD CONTACT ME TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I WAS NEVER PUT ON A LIST FOR AN APPOINTMENT. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE I AM GETTING FOR A CAR MY SON IS DRIVING AROUND IN.. I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AND SPOKE TO CALEB HE WAS NO HELP AND DID NOT REALLY OFFER ANY. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I WAS TRYING TO FIND A DEALER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT NOT BE PUT ON A LIST HE KEPT REPEATING THE SAME THING TO ME I GUESS HE GOT FRUSTRATED WITH ME BECAUSE HE THAN TOLD ME THANK YOU FOR CALL IN.

ENGINE
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 45K MILES. FOR THE PAST MONTH WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 40 AND 70 MPH THE CAR LOOSES POWER. THE TACHOMETER WILL GO DOWN 200 TO 300 RPMS IN A MATTER OF A FEW SECONDS. IT IS LIKE THE ENGINE IS FLUTTERING THEN AFTER 10 TO 30 SECONDS POWER RETURNS AND THE RMPS RETURN TO THE PREVIOUS SETTING. THIS LOSS OF POWER MAKES THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I STARTED LOOKING AT COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE-SOME FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I CHANGED THE PEDAL BUT IT DID NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER MORE RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A AN OFFICIAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THE CARS COMPUTER HAS TO BE REPROGRAMMED (FLASH). I CALLED THE TOYOTA WEBSITE TO ASK ABOUT THE PROCEEDURE AND IF TOYOTA PAID FOR THIS-ALSO NO HELP. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND TOYOTA SHOULD PAY FOR THIS PROCEEDURE I AM NOT THE ONLY VICTIM. TOYOTA COULD NOT TELL ME HOW MANY OTHER 2011 COROLLAS REPORTED THIS PROBLEM.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY DAUGHTER HAS THE 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA AND SHE WAS IN A SERIOUS SITUATION. SHE WAS FOLLOWED BY 3 PEOPLE AND WHEN SHE STOPPED AND PARKED HER CAR THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKED AND BEFORE SHE KNEW IT SOMEONE OPENED HER DOOR AND DRAGGED HER OUT OF THE CAR AND SHE WAS JUMPED ON BY 3 PEOPLE. BECAUSE HER DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKED MY DAUGHTER WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. IF THE DOORS DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN PARK SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SAFE. I HAVE TWO COROLLAS. ONE I DRIVE 2016 AND ONE MY DAUGHTER DRIVES 2013 AND THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK THEIR SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN BEATEN TO DEATH BECAUSE HER DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKED BUT SHE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. I WILL BE FILLING MORE COMPLAINTS UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED.

I HAD MY CAR CHECKED BECAUSE A LIGHT CAME ON ON MY DASH ON 12/6/17 SO I HAD IT CHECKED AND IT ENDED UP BEING MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW, BUT THE MONITOR THEY HOOK UP INDICATED THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS AFFECTED, SO I TOOK IT INTO TOYOTA AND THEY LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS DUMB AND JUST TOLD ME THAT THEY PUT AIR IN MY TIRES AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. SO ON 12/12/17 MY MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD O'REILYS CHECK WITH THERE MONITOR AND AGAIN IT RED FLAGGED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, I KNEW IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE SO I FIGURED THAT'S WHY MY MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT WAS ON BUT WHAT CONCERNS ME IS THE AIRBAG. ACCORDING TO MY NOTES, I HAD MY AIRBAGS SUPPOSEDLY REPLACE IN JULY OF 2016 AND I AM NOT SURE IF A LIGHT WOULD COME ON INDICATING SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS BUT I NEED TO FIND OUT IF AFTER A 1 1/2 YEARS WHY I WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAG???? COULD THIS BE RELATED TO THE RECALL AND HOW DO I FIND OUT (OTHER THAN GOING IN TO TOYOTA) THAT THEY ACTUALLY REPLACED THE RECALLED AIRBAG???) THEY TELL ME THEY DID BUT DOESN'T MY VIN NUMBER HAVE TO BE KEPT TRACK OF SOMEWHERE BESIDES THE SPECIFIC DEALER THAT I WENT TO??? THEY TREATED ME LIKE CRAP AND TOLD ME IT WAS AN $89 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND IF IT WAS AN AIRBAG WOULD COST BETWEEN $500-$700 DOLLARS. I NEED TO KNOW MORE INFORMATION ON THE PREVIOUS AIRBAG RECALL AS I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF IT WAS NEVER FIXED BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD TO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED FOR LIGHTS COMING ON SO I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 1 1/2 YEARS WITH FAULTY AIRBAGS.
