TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT MAY TAKE UP TO 10 WEEKS BEFORE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR MY AIRBAG. IN THE MEANTIME I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE WHICH MAY KILL MY PASSENGER IF THE AIRBAG IS USED. TOYOTA WILL NOT PAY FOR A RENTAL TO PREVENT A INJURY OR DEATH DURING THE TEN WEEKS BEFORE THIS VEHICLE IS REPAIRED AND THEY ARE TELLING ME TO HAVE PEOPLE SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. THEY ARE PLAYING WITH PEOPLES LIVES WHILE WAITING FOR THIS TO BE REPAIRED.

POWER TRAIN
DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON 3-29-16, A CRACKED CV JOINT BOOT LEAKING GREASE WAS DISCOVERED (59K MILES) THIS IS THE 2ND OCCURRENCE FOR ME, THE 1ST ON MY 2010 COROLLA JUST A FEW MONTHS PRIOR. LOSS OF GREASE WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE CV JOINT & DISCONNECTING FROM THE HUB ASSEMBLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF PROPULSION AND POSE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. IT WOULD SEEM THAT SUCH A CRITICAL COMPONENT SHOULD NOT FAIL SO EARLY IN THE VEHICLE'S LIFESPAN.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA. LOCAL DEALER ESTIMATED 4 TO 10 WEEKS WAIT TIME FOR REMEDIATION. NOTICE CLEARLY SAYS THAT '' UNTIL REMEDY IS PERFORMED, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". SO I CAN'T OPERATE WITH PASSENGER. ITS REALLY A BIG ISSUE FOR ME AS MY WIFE NEEDS TO COME TO OFFICE IN THE SAME CAR WITH ME .IT'S CAUSING GREAT TROUBLE FOR OUR WORK AND ALSO FOR WEEK END ROUTINES/TRIPS. I HAVE REQUESTED DEALER SEVERAL TIMES MENTIONING ABOVE IMPACT HOWEVER THERE IS NO POSITIVE RESPONSE. RATHER THEY ARE CLAIMING IT AN ISSUE WHERE THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. MY CURRENT SITUATION IS THAT I AM TAKING PAID TAXI SERVICES FOR DROP AND PICK UP FROM OFFICES . IT'S COSTING AROUND $100 DOLLARS DAILY SINCE 3/30/2016.ANY IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION/REMEDY WILL HELP ME

TAKATA RECALL AFTER I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA IT SAID REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER FOLLOWUP LETTER WHEN AVAILABLE. I NEVER RECEIVED ONE. I CALLED THE DEALER ON 11-5-15 TO FOLLOW UP AND THEY SAID NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE YET.. I CALL 4-4-16 AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS AVAILABLE AND TO GET IT FIXED MY OPTIONS WERE LEAVE THE CARE FOR 4-6 HOURS AND RENT A CAR OR HAVE A POSSIBILITY OF WAITING FOR THEIR SHUTTLE THAT HAS A 10 MILE LIMIT. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL OR MISS WORK TO HAVE THIS REPAIR DONE. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA CORPORATE WHICH I DID. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT, YES, RETNTALS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SUPPLED AND THEY HAD ME TALK WITH A PERSON AT THE NEXT LEVEL TO HOPEFULLY WORK IT OUT. I WAS TOLD BY THIS LEVEL PERSON THAT THEY ONLY SUPPLIED RENTALS FOR PEOPLE WHO REQUESTED THEM PRIOR TO A REMEDY AND PARTS AVAILABLE. I CONFIRMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE PAID FOR A RENTAL FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT WON'T PAY FOR ONE FOR ONE DAY? THEY SAID THAT WAS CORRECT. . I CANNOT AFFORD A RENTAL CAR OR TAKING TIE OFF WORK TO GET THIS FIXED. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IN THE LAST 5 DAYS, I HAVE SEEN AT LEAST 4 TOYOTA COROLLA'S WITH LED HEADLIGHTS ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT WITHOUT THEIR TAILLIGHTS ON. I BELIEVE THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THE LED HEADLIGHT OPTION RUNS ALL DAY LONG, SO PEOPLE ASSUME THEIR LIGHTS ARE AUTOMATIC? THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS SOMEONE ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT CANNOT SEE THESE TOYOTA COROLLA'S IN FRONT OF THEM WHEN THE TAILLIGHTS ARE OFF. IN TOTAL, I HAVE PROBABLY SEEN AT LEAST 40+ COROLLA'S WITHOUT THEIR LIGHTS ACTUALLY TURNED ON, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS ALWAYS SHINE. I TRY TO FLASH MY LIGHTS AT THE DRIVERS TO SIGNAL THE PROBLEM, BUT FEW REALIZE THE ISSUE SINCE THEY ARE UNAWARE THEIR LIGHTS ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED.

MARCH 30, 2016 I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE REGARDING MY VEHICLE (VIN: [XXX]) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT ROHRICH TOYOTA AT 2020 WEST LIBERTY AVENUE, PITTSBURGH, PA ON FRIDAY, MARCH 4TH AT 1:00 P.M. THAT MORNING, A GENTLEMAN CALLED ME TO ASK IF I WOULD BE WILLING TO RESCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS SHORT-STAFFED. EVEN THOUGH, I HAD TAKEN THE DAY OFF WORK TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT, I SAID I UNDERSTOOD AND, SINCE I DID NOT KNOW MY WORK SCHEDULE AT THE TIME, WOULD CALL BACK TO RESCHEDULE. DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH, I WAS BUSY WITH WORK, SISTER'S SURGERY, AND A SCHEDULED VACATION, BUT I CALLED ROHRICH TO RESCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. IT WAS SCHEDULED ON MONDAY, MARCH 28TH AT 1:00 P.M. HOWEVER, ON SATURDAY, MARCH 26TH, ROHRICH LEFT A VOICE MAIL MESSAGE ON MY CELL PHONE TO SAY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS 'SHORT STAFFED' AND TO CALL BACK TO RESCHEDULE. I CALLED ON MARCH 28TH AND MADE THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY, TUESDAY, MARCH 29TH AT 1:00 P.M. I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND MY HUSBAND PICKED ME UP SO THAT WE COULD GO OUT FOR LUNCH. NOT 10 MINUTES LATER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED ME ON MY CELL PHONE TO TELL ME THEY 'DIDN'T HAVE THE PART' AND I COULD EITHER LEAVE THE CAR UNTIL TOMORROW, WHICH WOULD BE TODAY, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30TH OR PICK UP THE CAR AND RESCHEDULE AND, IF/WHEN I CALL TO RESCHEDULE, ASK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS THE PART. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? I REALIZE THIS IS A RECALL AND I WOULDN'T/SHOULDN'T BE A 'PAYING' CUSTOMER, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I DID NOT GO TO WORK BECAUSE OF SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS AND THIS IS THE THIRD TIME, THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN, THAT MY CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
