VISIBILITY/WIPER
THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT PASSENGER WINDOW HAS BROKEN. THE BREAK IS IN THE GLASS DUE TO A DESIGN DEFECT IN HOW THE POWER WINDOW LIFT TRACK ATTACHES TO THE GLASS. THE WINDOW IS DESIGNED WITH TABS THAT FIT INTO THE LIFT MECHANISM. EACH TIME THE WINDOW BREAKS, IT IS THE TAB THAT IS SNAPPING OFF ON ONE SIDE OF THE WINDOW. THIS CAUSES THE WINDOW TO NOT BE OPERATIONAL. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO LOWER THE WINDOW, SINCE IT'S NOT SUPPORTED FULLY BY THE TRACK, IT WILL ANGLE OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND IF YOU CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE OPEN FUNCTION IT WOULD SNAP THE WINDOW. TOYOTA REIMBURSED ME FOR THE 1ST OCCURRENCE AND THEY INSTALLED A NEW WINDOW. NOW IT'S HAPPENED A 2ND TIME. IT WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE NEEDING TO ESCAPE THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY IF THE WINDOW CAN NOT BE ROLLED DOWN. THE WINDOW HAS NOT YET BEEN REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS OVER 45 DEGREES WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE 2ND TIME.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER WITH A RECALL NOTICE THAT THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON. THE ONLY SOLUTION FROM OCT TILL APRIL WAS TO "NOT OPERATE WITH PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT" I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA FOR TAKING SO LONG TO FIX THE PROBLEM KNOWING THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT AND THAT THEY MAY BE AT RISK!!!!!! I JUST GOT IT FIXED BY ASKING THE DEALER IF THE RECALL COULD BE DONE YET. THE NOTICE CAME IN THE MAIL THE NEXT WEEK. I HAVE HAD OTHER RECALLS ON OTHER VEHICLES NEVER ANYTHING THIS IMPORTANT AND THERE WAS NEVER A DELAY ONCE NOTIFIED.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS INFORMED BY TOYOTA ON 8/10/15 ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE RECALL FIXED ON MY CAR UNTIL 4/11/16 DUE TO THE "UNAVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS." I HAD TO USE THE CAR FOR 8 MONTHS WITHOUT LETTING ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT! I WAS NOT ABLE TO CAR POOL TO WORK AND THIS REALLY PUT A DAMPER ON MY ABILITY TO REASONABLY TRANSPORT MY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS. THE TIME IT TOOK TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!

TAKATA RECALL: THE DEALERSHIP AND OTHERS I CONTACTED HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR OF THE RECALL. SO WHILE IT IS GREAT THAT NHTSA HAS HELPED TO GET TO THE STAGE OF A RECALL, IF THE REPAIRS CANNOT BE COMPLETED, IT IS NOT A GOOD THING. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM? (IN OTHER WORDS, HELP ME FIND A PLACE TO GET THE REPAIR OR TELL ME WHO TO CONTACT AT TOYOTA?) I AM UPSET ABOUT THIS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH HEADLIGHTS ON, WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF UPTO THE SPEED OF 85 MPH EVEN THOUGH I SET CRUISE AT 65 MPH. I TRIED THIS MULTIPLE TIMES AND ALL THE TIME IT WENT UP TO 85 MPH AND STAYED THERE EVEN THOUGH I SET IT FOR LOWER SPEED. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I HAVE DROVE WITH CRUISE ON, IN THE DAYTIME AND IT WORKS FINE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE NEVER DROVE THIS WITH CRUISE ON AT NIGHT.

TAKATA INFLATOR: RECEIVED LETTER RECOMMENDING URGENT SAFETY RECALL. PARTS WERE SUPPOSEDLY ORDERED 3/21/16. AS OF TODAY, 4/8/16, PARTS ARE "BACKORDER" WITH NO TIMEFRAME. SPOKE TO "JENNIFER" AT TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I FREQUENTLY HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR, AS I TAKE FRIENDS TO DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS. PLEASE ADVISE....BY THE WAY, THE LETTER STATES THAT TOYOTA HAS THE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR MY GEOGRAPHIC REGION. SO WHY ARE THE PARTS NOT AVAILABLE? I CALLED AS SOON AS I RECEIVED THE LETTER.
