AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL WE RECEIVED AN AIRBAG RECALL EARLY SPRING OF 2017 AROUND MARCH AND WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHEN WE COULD TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT US WHEN THE NEW INFLATORS WOULD BE IN STOCK TO DO THE REPAIRS. IT IS NOW AUGUST 10 2017 AND WE STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM. THIS IS TAKING A VERY LONG TIME AND I AM HAVING TO PUT EXTRA MILES ON OUR OTHER VEHICLE TO GO ON FAMILY TRIPS/OUTINGS BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT ANY PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT DUE TO THE DEFECT.

SERVICE BRAKES, SEAT BELTS
SEVERAL TIMES THE SEAT BELT CHIME WOULDN'T STOP ALTHOUGH SEAT BELT CONNECTED. BRAKES SCREECHING WHEN TRYING TO COME TO A STOP. TOOK MORE EFFORT THAN SHOULD FOR BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS. THE SECOND TIME IT OCCURRED WAS RIGHT AFTER THE 5000 MILE MAINTENANCE SERVICE. IT HAPPENED TWO TIMES AFTERWARDS AND ONE TIME TODAY. I WAS DRIVING ANY WHERE FROM 25 MPH TO 55 MPH. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY BUT I AM BEGINNING TO BE AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENS WAS TODAY.

ENGINE
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A COLD SOAK STARTUP MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA MAKES A VERY LOUD RATTLE NOISE WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR APPROXIMATELY 1-2 SECONDS. IT WILL CONSISTENTLY DO THIS UPON COLD STARTUP, AND IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITHIN THE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION FOR MORE DETAILS, INCLUDING THE $896 REPAIR QUOTED FROM THE DEALER (PAGE 2). IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS ISSUE CAN EVENTUALLY LEAD TO MORE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE, AND I THINK IT IS A SHAME THAT THE DEALER DID NOT CATCH THIS EARLIER/ IS NOW QUOTING SUCH A HIGH PRICE FOR REPAIR. IT IS MY HOPE THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO MAKE TOYOTA BETTER RESPECT IT'S CUSTOMER'S SATISFACTIONS/SAFETY, AND TAKE CARE OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE AT NO COST TO IT'S CUSTOMERS.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER OVER A YEAR AGO AND I AM STILL BEING TOLD THERE IS NOT A REMEDY FOR THE RECALL. I LIVE IN A VERY HOT AND HUMID CLIMATE NEAR CHARLESTON, SC AND I DRIVE MY GRANDKIDS AROUND IN MY CAR THAT COULD BE DEADLY. I NEED FOR TOYOTA TO EITHER REPLACE OR REMOVE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I'VE HAD TO WAIT TOO LONG AND THE VALUE OF MY CAR HAS DECREASED BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL SO I CAN'T EVEN CONSIDER TRADING IT IN FOR A SAFE CAR. PLEASE HELP.

TAKATA RECALL: AFTER WAITING ABOUT 6 MONTHS, THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL IN MY COROLLA. I HAVE NOT USED THE PASSENGER SEAT SINCE BECOMING AWARE OF THE RECALL TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I AM DUE TO HAVE OUR SECOND BABY IN A MATTER OF MONTHS, AND WHEN I HAVE 2 CAR SEATS IN THE BACK, I WILL BE UNABLE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY OF 4 SAFELY. MY VEHICLE IS THE PRIMARY VEHICLE IN MY FAMILY. BEING UNABLE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY IN ONE CAR IS UNACCEPTABLE. IT IS ALSO UNACCEPTABLE TO NOT KNOW WHETHER THE PROBLEM WILL BE REMEDIED BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF MY BABY. MY CAR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF MY FAMILY, AND I AM NOT FINANCIALLY ABLE TO PURCHASE A DIFFERENT CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. PLEASE REMEDY MY CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS MUST BE TAKEN CARE OF IN THE FALL, BEFORE MY CAR BECOMES A MAJOR ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. THE UNKNOWN OF HOW TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY IN THE NEAR FUTURE IS BECOMING A MAJOR SOURCE OF STRESS AND WILL BECOME A MAJOR FINANCIAL BURDEN IF IT IS NOT REMEDIED BY THE WINTER.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 12 TIMES SINCE PURCHASED. IT HAS ALREADY HAD A REAR SEAL LEAK, BACK BRAKES AND FRONT BRAKE WORK AND REAR BRAKES REPLACED. THE TIMING CHAIN CABLE WAS LEAKING OIL AND THEY REPLACED IT. IT HAS NOT RAN THE SAME SINCE. IT CONTINUES TO HESITATE TO ALMOST STALLING OUT DURING TAKEOFF AT RED LIGHTS AND INTERSECTIONS. IT'S ACCELERATION IS TERRIBLE EVEN FOR A 4 CYLINDER. WE HAVE BEEN COOPERATIVE FOR THE 3 YEARS WITH TOYOTA, BUT NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS VOID DUE TO THE 3 YEARS, AND NOT THE MILEAGE, WE NO LONGER RECEIVE SUCH A HELPFUL CONVERSATION WITH ANY OF THE MANAGERS THERE. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER 25,000 MILES, AND HAS BEEN A TOTAL LEMON TO US. WE'VE EXHAUSTED ALL HOPES OF THEM FIXING THE REAL PROBLEM SINCE THEY CONTINUE TO CLAIM THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY SUCH PROBLEM IN THE ACCELERATION ISSUES AND STALLING IN THE INTERSECTIONS. WE WILL NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE A TOYOTA VEHICLE EVER AGAIN. WE HAVE PURCHASED MANY TOYOTA'S IN THE PAST, WHICH PROMPTED US TO BUY ANOTHER. BUT AFTER THIS CAR, AND POOR MECHANICS AND SERVICE MANAGEMENT, WE WILL REFRAIN FROM ANOTHER TOYOTA, EVER. IF YOU CAN RESOLVE OUR ISSUE BY EITHER AN EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE, OR FIX THE REAL REASON IT'S NOT RUNNING PROPERLY, AND FRANKLY NEVER HAS, I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP THAT CAN BE GIVEN ON MY BEHALF.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON I95 FROM SOUTH TO NORTH (AFTER EXIT 6 IN PA) TOWARDS PHILLY AIRPORT ON 7/22/2017 AND THE CAR WAS HIT AT THE REAR BY ANOTHER CAR. CAR WAS SPAN AND STOPPED. THANK TO GOD THAT SHE IS OK. HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE. OUR CONCERN WAS NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. OUR COLLISION CENTER AS WELL AS TOYOTA DOESN'T KNOW WHY. NEED YOUR HELP AS WELL AS IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO SOMEONE.
