WAS NOTIFIED OVER A YEAR AGO ABOUT RECALL. NEVER REC'D WORD FROM TOYOTA ABOUT PART BEING AVAILABLE. CALLED LAST MONTH AND PART WAS ORDERED. REC'D ANOTHER LETTER FROM TOYOTA STATING SAME PROBLEM. CALLED NEWARK TOYOTA ABOUT STATUS OF PART ORDERED. STILL ON WAITING LIST. NO EXPLANATION WHY THIS IS TAKING SO LONG. CALLED CORPORATE. APPARENTLY PARTS ARE BACKORDERED AND NOTHING BEING SENT TO DEALERSHIP. APPARENTLY THEY ARE STILL USING THE SAME MANUFACTURER FOR THE MODULE THAT SUPPLIED ALL THE FAULTY VEHICLES. WHY!!! IT SEEMS THAT THEY REALLY ARE NOT TAKING THIS VERY SERIOUSLY. WHY AREN'T WE OFFERED LOANER OR RENTAL CARS AS IN THE CASE OF HONDA WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM? HOW MANY LIVES ARE EXPENDABLE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. I SEE THAT THERE ARE OVER SEVEN MILLION REPAIRS SO FAR. WHEN WILL MY CAR BE FIXED?

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER ON 3/29. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THEY RECEIVE THE PARTS. IT IS NOW 5/10 AND I CALLED BECAUSE I HADN'T HEARD FROM THEM. WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID THE PARTS HAVE BEEN BACK ORDERED AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL COME IN. IN THE MEANTIME, THEY REMIND ME NOT TO USE MY PASSENGER SEAT. I FEEL FRUSTRATED THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL PERSIST FOR AN UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT OF TIME.

ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IN LATE 2004, I FINANCED A BRAND NEW 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA WHILE RESIDING IN SOUTH FLORIDA. IN SUMMER 2008, I RELOCATED TO MASSACHUSETTS. IT WAS IN WINTER 2008 THAT THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I WASN'T REALLY GIVEN A REAL EXPLANATION OF WHY THE WARNING LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. I WAS QUICKLY TOLD IT COULD BE FIXED. SO I PAID APPROX. $800.00 TO SUPPOSEDLY HAVE IT FIXED. LITERALLY, TWO WEEKS LATER THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG AND WOULD HAVE TO RUN MORE DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT WOULD COST ADDITIONAL MONEY. AT THE TIME, I DID NOT HAVE ADDITIONAL MONEY SINCE I HAD JUST DISHED OUT NEARLY $800.00. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO INDEPENDENT AUTO SHOPS IN WHICH THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IN THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS, YEARLY INSPECTIONS OF AN OPERATING VEHICLE IS REQUIRED. FOR THE PAST YEARS, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE LIGHT MANUALLY TURNED OFF HOPING THAT IT WOULD NOT COME ON IN TIME FOR THE CAR TO BE INSPECTED. THE CAR HAS FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BECAUSE THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION TO THE ENGINE WARNING LAMP BEING ILLUMINATED, I HAVE ALSO AND STILL EXPERIENCE HARSH SHIFTING. THE HARSH SHIFTING STARTED APPROX. IN LATE 2009/2010. I ALSO STARTED NOTICING DECREASED LIGHTING VISIBILITY IN 2011. AT NIGHT, I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS TO SEE PROPERLY. OUT OF FRUSTRATION, I GAVE UP ON TRYING TO FIND THE CAUSE FOR THESE ISSUES. I JUST DEALT WITH IT. I DON'T FREQUENTLY USE THE VEHICLE NOW BECAUSE I LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IS ACCESSIBLE TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION THAT ALLOWS ME TO GET TO WORK. MOST RECENTLY, I WAS INFORMED BY A FELLOW COROLLA OWNER THAT IN 2009-2010 TOYOTA RECALLED FOR ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING AND HEADLAMPS. I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATIONS OF SUCH RECALLS!

TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE FOR THE AIR BAG INFLATOR ON JUNE 16, 2015, AND RECOMMENDED THAT I NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE SINCE HAD TO WAIT NEARLY AN ENTIRE YEAR BEFORE THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL WERE AVAILABLE IN MY AREA; I WAS ONLY NOTIFIED IN MAY OF 2016 THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE IN MY AREA. IN OTHER WORDS, I WAS SUPPOSED TO AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER IN MY FRONT SEAT FOR ALMOST A WHOLE YEAR. THIS BY FAR EXCEEDS A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME FOR REPAIR, AND I HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE REPERCUSSIONS FOR THIS KIND OF FAILURE.

I HAVE HAVE A LETTER DIRECTLY FROM TOYOTA TELLING ME ABOUT MY AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA AND HOW IT SHOULD BE REPLACED FOR FREE IN A TIMELY MATTER. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TO REPLACE THE RECALLED AIRBAG FOR MY CAR. I ALSO WENT DIRECTLY TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WHEN I SPOKE TO THE MANAGERS, THEY SPOKE AS IF THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, I HAVE GOTTEN NO RESPONSE BACK FROM TOYOTA OR THE DEALERSHIP ON HOW TO GET MY CAR FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL- I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER -ARLINGTON TOYOTA- AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO REPLACE MY FRONT PASSENGER INFLATOR ASSEMBLY, SO I WILL HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL THE PART COMES IN.

I OWN A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THIS WEEK I NOTICED THAT MY AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. WHEN I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT DEBRIS GOT INTO THE CONDENSER AND DAMAGED IT, REQUIRING A REPAIR. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AC002-06 "LOWER GRILLE MESH PROTECTION COVER," WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FAILURE TO INCLUDE A PROTECTION COVER NEAR THE MESH GRILLE HAS CAUSED DEBRIS TO GET INTO THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER, AND THEREBY DAMAGING IT. TOYOTA HAS INCLUDED THE GRILLE PROTECTION COVER IN SUBSEQUENT TOYOTA COROLLA MODELS, BUT IT REFUSES TO ADD THE COVER TO THE OLDER MODELS OR REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THE EXPENSE IN REPLACING DAMAGED CONDENSERS THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS DESIGN DEFECT. TOYOTA ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AC002-06 "LOWER GRILLE MESH PROTECTION COVER
