TAKATA RECALL : I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FROM TOYOTA ON MAY 2016 NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V-340. FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR (ZONE A) THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING HIGH TEMPERATURES. SINCE I LIVE IN FLORIDA I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BY NOW, 10 MONTHS IS WAY BEYOND A REASONABLE TIME LIMIT.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE A"FIX"YET. THE RECALL NOTICE SUGGESTED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT NOT HAVE A PASSENGER WITHOUT MENTIONING THAT PARTICLES COULD BLOW ELSEWHERE THROUGH THE CAR. I BOUGHT A FOUR DOOR SEDAN. TOYOTA SHOULD PAY THE DIFFERENCE IN VALUE AND ALL CARS LIKE IT SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE ROAD.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
VEHICLES WITH DELCO ECM HAVE A COMMON ISSUE WHERE THE FUEL INJECTORS LEAK INTO THE CYLINDER CAUSING ENGINE TO LOOSE COMPRESSION. THE LOWERED COMPRESSION CAUSES HARD START (IF ABLE TO START AT ALL) AND IF AND WHEN IT STARTS THE VEHICLE EMITS A CLOUD OF WHITE SMOKE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE THE ENGINE IDLES HUNTS CONSTANTLY. ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING MAKING BRAKING AND STEERING VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. ECM HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE DAMAGE IS DONE TO THE ENGINE AND NEEDS A REBUILD. MULTIPLE VEHICLES HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE FROM 2009 - 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA RANGING FROM 100 MILES - 179,000 MILES. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY DIFFERENT EFFECT WITH MILEAGE OR MAINTENANCE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN 2 CAR ACCIDENTS WHERE I REAR ENDED BOTH CARS DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. ONE OF THOSE WAS TODAY. IN BOTH SITUATIONS, WE WERE AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR BEFORE ME ACCELERATED BECAUSE THE LIGHT CHANGED AND SUDDENLY STOPPED. I ALSO ACCELERATED NOT EVEN REACHING 10 MPH AND I HAD TO JAM THE BREAKS. I WAS AT A REASONABLE DISTANCE WHERE WITH PROPER BREAKS I WOULD HAVE STOPPED SOON ENOUGH AND NOT HIT THE CAR, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IN BOTH CASES MY BRAKE PEDAL SANK IN A LITTLE FURTHER AND VIBRATED. THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD AND HIT THE CAR. BECAUSE IT WAS A SUDDEN STOP, TIRES WOULD HAVE SCREECHED BECAUSE OF THE JAMMING OF THE BREAKS, BUT THAT REALLY DIDN'T HAPPEN AND THE CAR JUST KEPT GOING.

TAKATA RECALL I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT A SOLUTION IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS ISSUE REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND I AM EXPECTED TO NOT USE MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IN THE MEANTIME. THIS IS NOT SATISFACTORY TO ME. WHAT ALTERNATE VEHICLE ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS AT LEAST TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN I COULDN'T ADJUST THE RADIO VOLUME WHILE DRIVING, THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT WOULDN'T ALLOW YOU TO DO SO IF DRIVING. TODAY WE HOPPED IN THE CAR TO DO A QUICK ERRAND AND NOTICED THE RADIO HAD NO DISPLAY ON IT. WHILE FRIEND WAS IN THE STORE TRIED TURNING THE RADIO OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, THEN TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN FINALLY TRIED PUSHING EVERY BUTTON THAT WAS RELATED TO THE RADIO. THE FIRST BUTTON WOULD TURN THE RADIO OFF THE NEXT WOULD TURN IT BACK ON AND SO ON AND SO FORTH AND THAT IS ALL THEY WOULD DO. CAME HOME AND RESEARCHED THIS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH LATE MODEL COROLLAS. THE FRIGHTENING THING ISN'T THAT IT ISN'T FIXABLE BUT RATHER THAT IT RECURS WITHIN ABOUT 2 YEARS TIME FROM THE FIRST TIME AND MINE IS 6 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE HAD IT 1 MONTH. IT ALSO SOUNDS LIKE MORE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SEEM TO GET INVOLVED THE OLDER THE CAR IS. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER USED CAR SO SOON ON WHAT I MAKE. I HOPE SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS SO THESE CARS AREN'T FLOODING THE RESALE MARKET. THE VEHICLE WAS BOTH STATIONARY AND MOVING AND IT WAS AT NIGHT SO THE LIGHTS WERE ON. I LIVE IN MN AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 38 DEGREES. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN MARCH 2016 ABOUT THE RECALL. THE NOTICE DESCRIBED THE ISSUE WITH THE INFLATOR. I WAS ASKED TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE NOTICE SAID IT WAS URGENT . IT SPECIFIED THAT I SHOULD STOP USING THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT EVEN SAID THAT IF I FELT UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR, THEY WOULD PICK UP THE CAR FOR ME. I SENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER THE VERY NEXT DAY. THEY CHECKED AND VERIFIED MY CAR IS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL, BUT THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE PART WOULD ARRIVE. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 11 MONTHS SINCE THE NOTICE WAS SENT. THE PEOPLE AT THE DEALER DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL ARRIVE. IT IS UNREALISTIC THAT OWNERS ARE EXPECTED TO NOT BE ABLE TO FULLY USE THEIR VEHICLES WITHOUT RECEIVING SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION. I AM NOT EVEN SURE IF IT WOULD BE ETHICAL FOR ME TO SELL THE CAR UNDER THIS CONDITIONS. *TR

TAKATA RECALL: IT SHOWS THIS RECALL BEGAN MAY 23, 2016 - IT IS NOW JANUARY 31, 2017 AND THIS RECALL STILL HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED BECAUSE A REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA RECALL INFORMATION WEBSITE. I'VE PAID FOR REGISTRATION RENEWAL WEEKS AGO AND HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED MY TAGS, THE DMV SUGGESTED I CHECK TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO INCOMPLETE RECALLS AND THIS CAME UP SO I BELIEVE IT IS DELAYING MY REGISTRATION TAGS FROM BEING MAILED. THIS IS AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT ABOUT REMEDYING A RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. I WILL PURSUE THE MATTER FURTHER UNTIL I AM CLEARED TO REGISTER MY VEHICLE PROPERLY AND TO AVOID UNNECESSARY/POTENTIAL CITATIONS DUE TO NOT DISPLAYING MY CURRENT REGISTRATION.

PROJECTOR LIGHTS CAUSE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A BLACK CURTAIN PAINTED ACROSS THE UPPER HALF OF MY WINDSHIELD AND I CANNOT SEE STREET SIGNS. THIS CURTAIN ALSO BOUNCES WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN ANY SLOPE IN THE ROAD AND WHILE GOING DOWN SLOPE THE LIGHT APPEARS TO BE DRIVEN DOWN INTO THE ROAD SURFACE.
