ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SEAT BELTS
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE VIA MAIL REGARDING THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT IN JUNE OF 2016. I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHO HAS PERFORMED RECALLS IN THE PAST ON MY VEHICLE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. ON JUNE 13TH, 2016 I SPOKE TO A REP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE OUT OF PARTS AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS WERE IN, APPROX 4-6 WEEKS. ON JULY 13TH, 2016 I PLACED A FOLLOW UP CALL AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE STILL NOT IN AND THEY WOULD CALL ME IN APPROXIMATELY 6-8 WEEKS. TO THIS DATE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE PARTS ARE IN; THEREFORE I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS TOYOTA DEALER HAS REMEDIED THIS RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. I HAVE FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS ON THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER. THE SPECIFIC TOYOTA DEALER THAT HAS NOT HAD THE PART IS: AUTOLAND TOYOTA, 170 US 22, SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, NJ 07081 (800)288-6526.

TAKATA RECALL I'VE JUST BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL BUT THERE IS NOT YET A REMEDY? THE REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY AIR BAG THAT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL SOMEONE IN MY VEHICLE. WHEN CALLING TOYOTA THEY TELL ME THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION IS TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS WITHOUT A CAR I CAN NOT WORK AND PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY SAY THERE'S NO A REMEDY AND JUST STAND BYE WITHOUT A CAR UNTIL WE MAKE A DECISION. I DON'T FEEL LIKE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH POTENTIAL FOR DEATH OR BECOMING UNEMPLOYED AND LOSING MY WAY OF LIFE IS A VERY FAIR QUESTION TO POSE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS.

TAKATA RECALL- I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL ON MY TOYOTA COROLLA IN JULY 2016. THERE HAS BEEN NO WORD FROM TOYOTA REGARDING WHEN MY AIRBAG WILL BE EXCHANGED. I LIVE IN TEXAS WHICH IS CONSIDERED A "RED" ZONE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES CYCLING AND HUMIDITY. I WANT THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND I AM GETTING NOWHERE WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP OR THE TOYOTA MANUFACTURER.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT 10-15MPH. A CAR WAS WAITING TO TURN AT A STOP SIGN 200 FEET AHEAD. THE ROAD HAD MILD SNOW AND ICE AND WAS ON A 20 DEGREE SLOPE, SO I STEPPED GENTLY ON THE BRAKE. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE CAR. I STEPPED OFF THE BRAKE AND STEPPED DOWN A LITTLE HARDER. THERE WAS MILD RESPONSE. I CONTINUED PUSHING ON THE BRAKE, AND WAS ABLE TO PUSH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR DID NOT STOP. 50 FEET BEFORE COLLISION, I ATTEMPTED TURNING THE WHEEL TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, BUT THE CAR ONLY SHIFTED 3 FEET BEFORE I COLLIDED WITH THE FRONT CAR. 50 MINUTES AFTER THE INCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING THE SAME CAR HOME AT 25MPH. THE CITY STREET WAS FLAT AND STRAIGHT, AND THERE WAS MILD SNOW AND ICE. A CAR WAS TURNING RIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION 250 FT AHEAD. I WAS WORRIED THIS TIME, AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE EARLIER AT MODERATE PRESSURE (PEDAL HALF DOWN). IN THE PAST, THAT TYPE OF PRESSURE COULD DECREASE THE CAR FROM 35 TO 10MPH IN 100FT. THIS TIME, THE CAR ONLY DECREASED FROM 25 TO 15MPH IN 245FT. I WAS LUCKY THE DRIVER AHEAD TURNED, BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SECOND COLLISION IN ONE DAY. *TR

ENGINE
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK AND/OR DIPSTICK TUBE ON THE 2015 TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH USES 0W-20 OIL. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN AN ACCURATE READING ON THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AND HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE. THE OIL TENDS TO FORM A LONG "TAIL" UP THE DIPSTICK MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DISCERN WHERE THE ACTUAL LEVEL IS. ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN A READING WITH MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS YIELDS DIFFERENT POSSIBLE OIL LEVELS AND THE LEVELS ARE DIFFERENT ON EACH SIDE OF THE DIPSTICK. I WOULD NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON NUMEROUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET INCLUDING FORUMS DEDICATED TO TOYOTA ENTHUSIASTS AS WELL AS GENERAL CAR FORUMS AND ENGINE OIL FORUMS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED NOT ONLY FOR THE COROLLA BUT ALSO FOR OTHER TOYOTA MODELS. SOME OWNERS HAVE RESORTED TO MODIFYING THE DIPSTICK WHICH SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. NOT BEING ABLE TO OBTAIN AN ACCURATE READING OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL PUTS THE ENGINE AT RISK OF DAMAGE AND EVEN SERIOUS AND SUDDEN FAILURE IF THE OIL IS OVER OR UNDER FILLED. ENGINE DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH CAN OBVIOUSLY OCCUR IF ENGINE FAILURE OCCURS WHILE IN OPERATION ON ROADS. TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION ON THIS ISSUE, INVESTIGATE IT, AND PROVIDE A FIX AVAILABLE AT DEALERSHIPS AND ANNOUNCE THAT FIX TO OWNERS. IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACTUAL DIPSTICK DESIGN, THE TUBE THAT THE DIPSTICK GOES INTO, OR OTHER, BUT A FIX IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A COMMUNICATION FROM TOYOTA DATED 6/9/16 IN REGARD TO A DEFECT IN MY CAR OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO TELL ME WHEN TO TAKE THE CAR TO MAKE THE CORRECTION. THEY RECOMMENDED NOT TO USE THAT SEAT; I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS; THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY CAR IS A FAMILY CAR & WE CAN'T TRAVEL TOGETHER. I'VE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO TOYOTA PUERTO RICO BECAUSE I HAVE THE FRONT SEAT OF MY CAR DISABLED FOR THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS. EVERY TIME I CALL THEY TELL ME A DIFFERENT REASON: 1)" WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE PARTS FOR CORRECTION", 2) " WE ARE EXPECTING THE PARTS FOR NEXT MONTH", 3) " WE ARE EXPECTING THE PARTS FOR THE END OF THE MONTH". ON 1/12/17 I WENT PERSONALLY TO TOYOTA AUTOCENTRO FOR THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL. THEY GAVE ME THE TOYOTA USA CALL CENTER NUMBER; BUT THAT PHONE NUMBER ANSWERS FROM PR. I NEED THE TOYOTA TO RESPOND FOR THIS SITUATION AND IF THEY CAN'T MAKE THE CORRECTION; THEY SHOULD PROVIDE A VEHICLE SO I CAN MOVE MY WHOLE FAMILY I THINK I HAVE BEEN PATIENT ENOUGH AND I FEEL THEY AREN'T DOING ANYTHING TO SOLVE THE SITUATION. I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN THE SOLUTION OF THIS PROBLEM.

IT HAS NOT DEPLOYED YET, BUT TOLD NOT TO DRIVE AND THEN TOLD DONT HAVE ANYONE IN FRONT SEAT, IM SO CONFUSED, AND SO SCARED, AND HAVE ANXIETY. I WAS MAILED THE TAKATA RECALL LETTER FROM THE TOYOTA MAUFACTUERER. I CALLED IMMEDIATELY TO INQUIRE SINCE THE LETTER STATED DO NOT PLACE ANYONE IN YOUR FRONT SEAT. I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE A REMEDY FOR THE RECALL, AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD. I ASKED WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO SINCE I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND I MUST GET TO WORK. I WAS GIVEN A CLAIM NUMBER AND TOLD A CSR WOULD CALL IN TWO BUSINESS DAYS. NO ONE CALLED SO I CALLED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD SOMEONE SHOULDVE CALLED ME, NONE THE LESS WAS INFORMED I COULD GET A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THE RECALL WAS ADDRESSED. I STATED TO THE CSR HOW WILL THAT WORK IF YOU DONT KNOW WHEN A PART WILL BE MADE AND YOU DONT KNOW HOW LONG ILL BE WITHOUT A CAR. SINCE NO ONE CALLED ME I CALLED THE JIM WHITE TOYOTA DEALERS SERVICE DEPT. AND WAS TOLD AT FIRST THEY HAD NO LOANER CARS, THEN WAS PLACED ON HOLD, REP SAID WE DO HAVE A LOANER BUT NOT TIL FEB 1, 2017. I SAID YOUVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS AND FRUSTRATIONS AND HOW UNFAIR THIS IS TO HAVE A VEHICLE I PAY A CAR NOTE FOR THATS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND IN THE EVENT I GET A LOANER I HAVE TO STILL PAY FOR A PARKED CAR ALONG WITH INSURANCE, AND I WOULD HAVE TO INSURE THE LOANER VEHICLE. SO UNACCEPTABLE. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER TO SEE IF THEY WILL TAKE CAR BACK, TRADE IN, OR BUY BACK. I AM TO GO IN FRIDAY TO SEE IF THIS IS POSSIBLE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED IN THE LACK OF EMPATHY WHEN ITIS PERTAINING TO SOMEONES SAFETY AND THEIR CHILDRENS SAFETY.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION RECENTLY VIA MAIL OF A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS RECALL IS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, MANUFACTURED BY TAKATA. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE "REMEDY" IS FOR ME TO NOT HAVE ANY PASSENGERS IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE "SECOND PHASE" OF THE RECALL TAKES PLACE BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THAT MIGHT BE. WHAT KIND OF REMEDY IS THIS? I CAN'T DRIVE ANYONE ANYWHERE UNLESS I MAKE THEM SIT IN THE BACKSEAT LIKE A TAXI. ALSO, THIS DECREASES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE I CAN HAVE IN MY CAR. I WANT THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AT THE VERY LEAST, TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM UNHAPPY WITH THEIR SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE.
