TAKATA RECALL. I UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS RECALL AND HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR OVER A YEAR GET IT SERVICED. I KEEP BEING TOLD THAT THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT MATERIALS. I WOULD LIKE INCREASE THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE (THE ONE MY CHILDREN DRIVE!) IN THE MEANTIME. I WANT TO REPLACE WITH A DIFFERENT AIRBAG, TURN OFF THE AIRBAG OR REMOVE THE AIRBAG UNTIL IT CAN BE SAFELY SERVICED. I AM GETTING NO HELP FROM ANYONE AND NEED ADVICE AS TO WHAT TO DO. SITTING IN THE BACKSEAT IS NOT AN OPTION WHEN THERE ARE OFTEN FIVE PEOPLE! I KNOW THIS LIKELY ISN'T THE RIGHT PLACE TO COMPLAIN, BUT I AM TALKING TO EVERYONE. I TALKED TO ICBC (INSURANCE PROVIDER) TODAY WHO IS TAKING THIS VERY SERIOUSLY AS THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY DEATHS OR INJURIES. WHAT DO I DO?

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE A YEAR AGO. CALLED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP A MONTH AGO. SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART. CALLED AGAIN, JUNE 9. PART STILL NOT IN. THIS RECALL, IF NOT FIXED COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DANGER TO THE PASSENGER. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS TAKING OVER A YEAR TO FIX A DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY 2010 COROLLA HAS SUDDENLY STARTED BURNING (NOT LEAKING) OIL AT THE RATE OF 1 QUART PER EVERY 1500 MILES. I NOTICED THIS HAPPENING A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY WATCHING IT. MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS MOST LIKELY A DEFECTIVE ENGINE OR PISTON RINGS. VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE TOYOTA KNOWINGLY PUT THESE DEFECTIVE ENGINES IN THE 2010 COROLLA. THEY PUT THE SAME ENGINE IN OTHER COROLLAS UP TO 2009. OBVIOUSLY IN THE 2010 ALSO. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I'M SURE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

I OWN BOTH A 2004 COROLLA AND THE 2008 TOYOTA MATRIX. BOTH VEHICLES ARE ON THIS URGENT SAAFETY RECALL. MY 2004 COROLLA APPOINTMENT IS FOR 6/15 AT 8:30 AM. THIS WAS NOT SO BAD. THE 2008 COROLLA MATRIX APPOINTMENT IS FOR AUGUST 5TH AT 10:00 AM. I THINK THIS IS NOT RIGHT, TWO AND A HALF MONTHS TO CORRECT AN INPORTANT SAFETY PROBLEM LIKE THIS? THE DELLER TOLD ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO CORRECT A 2008. IN YOUR LETTERS YOU SAY THAT THE PARTS ARE OUT TO CERTAIN LOCATIONS. I USE THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN TO SCHOOL SOFT BALL GAMES AND OTHER INPORTANT APPOINTMENT? THE PASSINGER SEAT HAS TO BE USED. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WHEN THIS PROBLEM CAN NOT BE CORRECTED UNTIL AUGUST?

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A NOTICE STATING THAT "TOYOTA HAS COMPLETED PARTS PREPARATION FOR VEHICLES IN YOUR GEOGRAPHIC AREA" YET WHEN I CALL OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, THEY TELL ME THAT TOYOTA IS ONLY ALLOWING THEM TO ORDER 1 PART PER WEEK!! THEY HAVE PUT MY NAME ON THE LIST, BUT SAID THEY WILL SEE ME IN ABOUT A YEAR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER'S VEHICLE AND THIS ISSUE NEEDS FIXED NOW, NOT A YEAR FROM NOW. SHE HAS ALREADY BEEN DRIVING IT TOO LONG WITH THIS UNSAFE DEFECT. WHAT IS TOYOTA GOING TO DO IF SOMETHING HAPPENS BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN THEY DECIDE TO LET DEALERS ORDER MORE THAN 1 PART PER WEEK?? I WOULD LIKE AN EXPLANATION AND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM FOR A QUICKER REPAIR!

ENGINE
I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH EXCESIVE AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS CONSUMING OIL WHILE DOING RANDOM CHECKS ON THE CAR. AFTER THAT I LOOKED ON-LINE FOR SOLUTION AND FOUND PAGES AFTER PAGE AND WEBSITE AFTER WEBSITE OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE SINCE 2009 TO NOW AND TOYOTA NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I SINCE CONTINUED CHECKING AND TOPING THE ENGINE OIL UNTIL DECEMBER WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO STALL WHEN I STOPPED AT A LIGHT. IT WOULD TRY TO IDLE AROUND 500-600 RPM BUT COULDNT AND THEN THE ENGINE WOULD BRING IT UP TO 800 RPM. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND TURNED OUT MY PISTON RINGS ARE THE PROBLEM. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION ONLINE I SAW THAT THE PISTON AND PISTON RINGS ARE THE PROBLEM ON THE TOYOTA 2ZRFE ENGINE AND MAY OTHER ENGINES. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED A DAY TO HAVE THIS CHECKED WHEN I GOT THERE IN FEBURAY I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN DOESNT HAVE THIS ISSUE I EXPLAINED I AM HAVING THIS ISSUE AND WAS TURNED AWAY. I CALLED 1800 NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE AND THE ONLINE IS JUST THAT PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT A PROBLEM THAT DOESNT EXIST. UNTIL APRIL WHEN MY ENGINE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FAST. WHEN I WENT ON THE HIGH WAY WITH IT IT FELT LIKE MY ENGINE POWER WAS A 3RD OR LESS BECUASE I WAS HAVING HARD TIME ACCELERATING FASTER THAN SEMIS WHO WERE STARTING FROM STAND STILL. SINCE THEN I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH BBB AND ATTORNEY GENERAL AND GOT A CALL FROM "TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CASE #1606030224" AND WAS TOLD BY JEFFERY MOORE THAT THE KITS FOR THE FIX ARE SHIPPING NOW AND TO TAKE IT FOR REPAIR ON 5/26/2016 AND I TOOK THE CAR IN A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND THEY CHECKED THE OIL AND PUT STICKERS ON THE CAR AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK AFTER 1100 MILES. AFTER TWO DAYS OF DOING THAT I GOT AN EMAIL AND A CALL. I CALLED BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT AND THEY CONTACTED THE REGIONAL MANAGE AND HE SAID NO.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS BLINDED BY THE HEADLIGHTS OF A TOYOTA COROLLA. IT ALMOST LED TO AN ACCIDENT WITH A PEDESTRIAN. PLEASE LOOK INTO ALL 2015+ TOYOTA COROLLAS WITH THE HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE LIGHTS SEEM TO BE AIMED HIGHER THAN NORMAL OR HAVE IMPROPER LENSES. WHEN APPROACHING THEY BLIND ONCOMING DRIVERS. THESE ECONOMY CARS ARE VERY COMMON AND PROBLEM IS BECOMING WORSE AS TOYOTA DID NOT RECALL THEM.
