POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, SEAT BELTS
I PURCHASED MY CAR AS THE FIRST OWNER IN 2008 PAID CASH. WITHIN A FEW YEARS AN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I KEPT UP WITH ALL MAINTENANCE. I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF WHICH WAS STILL VALID AND BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND WHAT WAS EXACTLY WRONG - MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER NO REPLACE AND I WAS CHARGED OVER $1500. I TOOK THIS TO BUERU OF AUTOMOTIVE AND THEY RULED IN MY FAVOR SO NOW I WILL BE SUING YOUR COMPANY FOR MONIES OWED ON TOP OF OTHER THINGS DUE TO THE COMPANY NOT BEING WILLING TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK OR FIXING MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL DRIVER OF TOYOTA VEHICLES FOREVER AND A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NEVER GO OUT IN FIRST 5 YEARS - MY CAR IS STILL ON THE ROAD BUT DOES NOT GO BACKWARD - SO THERE IS SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS MODEL AMONGST OTHER THINGS. THE DEALERSHIP MANAGE TO BREAK MY HOOD AND THE STICK OF WHICH YOU PUT YOUR CAR INTO DRIVE WITH. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS JUST CLOVIS TOYOTA OR WHAT - BUT I AM TRULY DISAPPOINTED AS TO YOU HOW YOUR COMPANY HAS HANDLED MY SITUATION. NOT ONLY HAS YOUR COMPANY ROBBED MY FAMILY OF A CHRISTMAS, HARD EARNED MONEY AS A SINGLE PARENT BUT ALSO PUT US IN DANGER. MY AIR BAGS ARE BAD AS WELL AND I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION AND WHEN I PUT MY VIN IN WAY BACK WHEN- IT SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. RIDICULOUS. MY CAR IS JUST A MESS AND UNFORTUNATELY - I LOVE MY CAR. IT HAS BEEN MOST FAITHFUL AND GOD IS GOOD TO ME AND MY FAMILY - BUT YOUR COMPANY HAS NOT! *TR

TAKATA RECALL. WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN EARLY JUNE 2016. WE WAITED FOR A RESOLUTION UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2016, BUT HEARD NOTHING. I CALLED TOYOTA EXPERIENCE CTR 9/6/16 AND WAS DIRECTED TO MY DEALER, ARLINGTON TOYOTA. I CALLED THE DEALER ON 9/6/16, 9/8/16 & 9/16/16. I FINALLY SPOKE WITH A SERVICE ADVISOR ON 9/16. WE SET UP A LONG TERM RENTAL TO BE PICKED UP EARLY OCTOBER. ON THE DATE OF PICK-UP WE HAD TO EVACUATE D/T HURRICANE MATTHEW. NOW, THE EARLIEST DATE FOR PICK-UP IS 11/1. MY 16 YEAR OLD SON DRIVES THAT CAR. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH HIM DRIVING IT. I DON'T FEEL HE IS SAFE. EVEN IF ONLY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, THIS COULD STILL CAUSE HIM TO LOSE CONCENTRATION, CRASH, OR WORSE. WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG? MY CHILD'S SAFETY IS AT STAKE. AND ONCE WE GET THE RENTAL, HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF HIS AGE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IS TAKING A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF TIME. PLEASE HELP! *TR

WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MAY 2016 AND IT'S NOW OCTOBER 2016 AND WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REMEDY. I UNDERSTAND THE VEHICLES IN THE HOTTEST CLIMATE AREAS ARE BEING REPAIRED FIRST. WE LIVE IN TEXAS AND STILL HAVE NO REMEDY! MY DAUGHTER IS IN COLLEGE DRIVING AROUND WITH A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG! IF I COULD AFFORD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR, I WOULD BUT I CAN'T! SHE HAS NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SHE DOESN'T LET ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, HOWEVER I'M AFRAID IF SHE GETS IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG COULD STILL GO OFF. WHEN IS THIS REMEDY GOING TO BE AVAILABLE?? I PRAY NOTHING HAPPENS TO MY DAUGHTER IN THE MEANTIME!! *TR

"TAKATA RECALL". MY MOTHER AND I RECEIVED A STATEMENT FROM TOYOTA ON 6-9-2016 REGARDING THE TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL. IT IS NOW 10-26-2016 AND THE RECALL PART HAS NOT BEEN IN STOCK. MY 93 YEAR OLD MOTHER'S LICENSE EXPIRED ON 10-16-2016 AND WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO SELL THE VEHICLE TO A PRIVATE PARTY, BUT ONCE THEY KNOW THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE WITH NO PENDING DATE FOR THE RECALL PART TO COME IN, THEY BACK OUT OF THE TRANSACTION. MY MOTHER CONTINUES TO PAY CAR INSURANCE ON A CAR THAT SHE CAN NO LONGER DRIVE AND IS UNABLE TO RECEIVE HER INCOME FROM THE SALE OF THE CAR. I HAD A RECALL WITH HONDA THAT TOOK NO LONGER THAN A WEEK AND FEEL THAT TOYOTA HAS LET US DOWN BY GOING OVER 4 MONTHS WITH NO END IN SIGHT. I DON'T THINK THAT A COMPANY SHOULD TREAT CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE OWNED 8 TOYOTA VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP US RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
ON JUNE 24TH 2016 I PURCHASED A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA S. I HAD 3 MINOR BRAKE FIALURES WITH GRINDING SOUNDS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON THOSE 3 OCCASIONS.THE 4TH BRAKE FAILURE WAS A LOT WORSE AND I ENDED UP APPLYING THE E BRAKE AND SLIDE INTO COUNTY LINE DIVIDING PASCO & HERNANDO COUNTY FLORIDA. ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID " I NEED TO BRING MY CAR IN ASAP BECAUSE NOW I HAVE HAD FOUR BRAKE FAILURES AND THIS ONE COULD HAVE KILLED ME IF ANYONE HAD BEEN COMING. THIS WAS THE 21ST OF JULY, I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION OF MY BRAKES. ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, BROUGHT IT BACK AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. ON SEPTEMBER TENTH 2016 I GOT INTO THE RIGHT HAND TURN LANE, WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I CONTINUED TO APPLY MORE AND MORE PRESSURE AND STILL NO BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO VEER ENOUGH TO THE RIGHT SO I DIDN'T IMPACT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HOWEVER THE LADY BEHIND THAT CAR WAS NOT AS LUCKY AND I IMPACTED HER FRONT LEFT PRETTY MUCH HEAD ON. I HAVE CALLED OVER AND OVER I HAVE SENT PICTURES OF MY CAR AND THE ROAD WHERE THERE WAS NOT EVEN 1 SKID MARK. I HAVE 9 BULGING DISC 4 HERNIATED DISCS. I AM LITERALLY BROKE FROM CAR RENTALS DR'S APPOINTMENTS AND MEDICATION THAT HAS BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE. EVERY TIME I CALL I AM INSTRUCTED I WILL RECEIVE A CALL FROM THEIR CLAIMS/LEGAL DEPARTMENT WITHIN 30 BUSINESS DAYS FROM WHEN THEY RETRIEVED THE DATA FROM THE CAR THAT ALMOST KILLED ME AND A POOR WOMAN WHO WAS TAKEN AWAY IN AN AMBULANCE. I LOOKED THROUGH THE DATA AND I AM NO ENGINEER AND I CAN EVEN SEE WHERE THE BRAKES FAILED. TO EVERYONE WHO READS THIS IF YOU SEE S NEWER TOYOTA BECAREFUL.

TAKATA RECALL WHAT IS A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR REPAIRS AND IF REPLACEMENT PARTS CONTINUE TO NOT BE AVAILABLE, ALTERNATIVE REMEDIES NEED TO BE PROVIDED. SELLING A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE IS NOT A REMEDY BECAUSE WHO WOULD KNOWINGLY PURCHASE A CAR WITH SUCH DEFECTS. PLEASE PUT PRESSURE ON TOYOTA TO HANDLE THIS PROBLEM ASAP.
