TAKATA RECALL - THIS IS MY 2ND OFFICIAL COMPLAINT AGAINST TOYOTA REGARDING MY 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA, AND THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL (PASSENGER AIRBAG). MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR AND 4 MONTHS NOW, AND THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR MY VEHICLE. I HAVE MET, IN PERSON, WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP (WHERE MY CAR IS BEING KEPT), AND HE TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO, I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE, AND THEY ASSIGNED ME WITH A CASE MANAGER AND THE CASE MANAGER DENIED HELPING ME, I HAVE CALLED AND COMPLAINED TO MY ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE OF CALIFORNIA AND THEY EXPLAINED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, AND THIS IS MY SECOND TIME FILING A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BACK FROM YOU(NHTSA) EITHER. THIS RECALL IS A BURDEN BECAUSE WHEN AND IF TOYOTA ACTUALLY PERFORMS THE RECALL REMEDY ON MY VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO NEED TO HAVE A COMPLETE OVERHAUL (OIL CHANGED, BATTERY REPLACED, FUEL LINES SYPHONED AND REPLACED, FILTERS (AIR, OIL, AND FUEL) REPLACED, AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE LINES FLUSHED AND REFILLED IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE BACK IN OPERATIONAL CONDITION. WHAT DO I DO? WHAT CAN I DO? I HAVE CALLED AND CONTACTED EVERYONE AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME. PLEASE HELP.

POWER TRAIN
DRIVING AT 30 MPH, CAR ON ITS OWN DOWNSHIFTS TO LOW GEAR WHILE IN DRIVE MODE. HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN HEAVY AFTERNOON DRIVE TRAFFIC ON SIDE ROADS. TRANSMISSION IS JERKY UP HILLS. DOESN'T HAPPEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, BUT CAME TO A STOP OFF THE FREEWAY, AND THEN COULDN'T GET IT OUT OF LOW GEAR. BECAUSE I CAN'T TRAVEL AS FAST AND TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, CAUSES AN ENORMOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. DEALER SAYS COMPUTER SAYS NOTHING WRONG. COROLLA HAS FEWER THAN 69,000 MILES ON IT.

TOYOTA HAS ISSUE A "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" FOR MY 2009 COROLLA IN JANUARY 2017. IN THE NOTICE, TOYOTA RECOMMENDS NOT CARRYING PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT AS THERE IS A RISK OF INJURY OR EVEN DEATH IF ITS FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. IT'S BEEN NINE MONTHS SINCE TOYOTA DETECTED THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED MY TOYOTA DEALER IN BETHESDA, MD, AND WAS INFORMED THAT A REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. NOT BEING ABLE TO CARRY A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT IS A BIG INCONVENIENCE. I NEED A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE NHTSA'S GUIDANCE ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS SITUATION. CAN I REQUEST TOYOTA TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE OR BUY MY VEHICLE BACK? SHOULD I HAVE THE FAULTY AIRBAG REPLACED ELSEWHERE AND REQUEST TOYOTA TO COVER THE EXPENSE? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY GUIDANCE/ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE.

"TAKATA RECALL." I AM BEING TOLD BY THE AUTO AIRBAG SETTLEMENT NOTICE ADMINISTRATOR THAT MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA VEHICLE IS ON THE "PRIORITY 1 GROUP" CONCERNING THE TAKATA AIRBAG CLASS ACTION SUIT, BUT THE NHTSA SAFECAR.GOV INFORMATION NOTES A 0 (ZERO) RECALL. THERE SEEMS TO BE A CONTRADICTION BETWEEN THE TWO SOURCES. WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT STEP?

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE PEDAL IS POSITIONED SO THAT IT CAN CATCH THE SIDE OR SOLE OF THE DRIVER'S SHOE SO THAT THE BRAKES CANNOT BE ACTIVATED. IT CAN CAPTURE THE SHOE UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKES. WHEN NEEDING BRAKES UNDER AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THE SHOE CAN BE TRAPPED, AND CAN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR, AND CAUSED MY MOTHER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT GET HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED, AND ONLY 3 CARS WERE DAMAGED.

SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2015 COROLLA S ON MARCH 2015, A MONTH LATER I STARTED TO HEAR CREEKING NOISE WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKES PEDAL, WENT TO THE DEALER THEY TESTED THE CAR AND SAID "YES WE HEARD THE SOUND BUT YOUR BRAKE IS TOTALLY PERFECT AND IS SAFE TO DRIVE". I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR BUT THE SAME SOUND LIKE CRACKLING STILL THERE WHEN I BRAKE. I WENT AGAIN TO THEM, THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS AND THEY SAID "WE CHANGED THE FRONT BRAKE SHIMS". AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY SAID, YOUR CAR NOW IS TOTALLY SAFE. AFTER THAT I STARTED TO FEEL THAT THE BRAKES DO NOT STOP THE CAR AS FAST AS IT WAS BEFORE NOR AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A NEW CAR PLUS A NEW CREEKING SOUND THAT I COULDN'T DETECT FROM FRONT OR REAR WHEELS, AT THAT TIME IT WAS MY FIRST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE VISIT SO I TOLD THEM ABOUT IT, THEN THEY SAID "WE TESTED THE CAR AND THE BRAKES WORK WELL", I SAID "I KNOW IT WORKS BUT NOT PERFECTLY & NOT AS FAST AS BEFORE", THEY SAID "DON'T WORRY IT'S SAFE". A YEAR LATER "JANUARY 2016", I HAD A SMALL FREEWAY ACCIDENT WHERE I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO A QUICK STOP AND I HIT MY BRAKES AS FAST AS POSSIBLE BUT STILL HIT THE CAR AND THE INSURANCE SAID I'M AT FAULT. A YEAR AND HALF LATER "JULY 2017" MY WIFE HAD A BIG BIG FREEWAY ACCIDENT ALSO DUE TO A QUICK STOP FROM THE CAR IN FRONT, WE HAD A MASSIVE DAMAGE TO OUR CAR AND OF COURSE THE INSURANCE SAID WE ARE AT FAULT. TWO MONTH LATER "SEPTEMBER 2017" SAME THING HAPPENED A QUICK STOP ON FREEWAY AND AT THIS TIME I FELT LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WEIRD GOING ON, I HAD ENOUGH TIME AND DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR IN FRONT BUT STILL I CRASHED HIM. EVERY TIME I WAS SAYING I CANNOT PROVE THAT THERE IS A DEFECT WITHIN THE CAR ITSELF, BUT I STILL HAVE THE SAME FEELING OF THE SLOW RESPONDING BRAKES AND THE FEEL THAT THE CAR RUNS UNDER MY FEET UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES EVEN AS FAST AND POWERFUL AS POSSIBLE.
