TAKATA RECALL, CALLED DEALERSHIP 6 MONTHS AGO BEEN ON A WAITING LIST EVER SINCE. YET, THE RECALL ASK YOU NOT TO DRIVE YOUR CAR BUT YOU HAVE TO DRIVE IT TO GET TO WORK. I KNOW THE LETTER IS TO PROTECT TOYOTA BUT WHAT ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT PURCHASED THE CAR IN GOOD FAITH. WHEN WILL THEY HAVE ENOUGH AIR BAGS FOR ME TO GET OFF THE WAITING LIST 6 MONTHS IS WAY TOO LONG TO BE WAITING.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
"TAKATA RECALL" I KEEP RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES, BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT AND WHEN I CALL THE 1800 NUMBER THEY ACT LIKE EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF. THEN THE DEALERSHIP CALLS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AGAIN. I HAVE GIVEN UP ON THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE TIME BEING. I HOPE THAT AS TIME PASSES THE SYSTEM WILL GET SMOOTHED OUT WHERE THIS CAN ACTUALLY GET FIXED, MAYBE. IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT FIXING THE AIRBAG ISSUES ARE A SERIOUS PRIORITY IN PERSON, ONLY ON PAPER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTED CAR IN DECEMBER 2015, TWO WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS. DASH LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON AUTOMATICALLY AS THEY ALWAYS DID AT NIGHT, NOR DID THEY COME ON AFTER MANUALLY TURNING THEM ON, BUT AFTER 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING THEY CAME ON. NEXT NIGHT AGAIN NO LIGHTS, THIS TIME I HIT A BUMP, DASH LIGHTS FLASHED ON THEN OFF AGAIN UNTIL NEXT BUMP IN ROAD AND CAME ON AND STAYED ON. NEXT NIGHT, NO LIGHTS. HIT BUMPS IN ROAD BUT STILL NO LIGHTS. MY DASH LIGHTS NEVER CAME ON AGAIN. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT POST AFTER POST AFTER POST OF 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. THAT'S WHEN I FOUND OUT I ALSO HAD NO TAIL LIGHTS! MECHANIC CHECKED FUSES AND TAIL LIGHT RELAY, ALL FINE. CHECKED FOR LOOSE WIRES, NO LOOSE WIRES. MECHANIC PUZZLED. WALNUT CREEK TOYOTA DEALER WANTS $350.00 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. AFTER SEEING ALL THESE POSTS WITH SAME PROBLEM, TOYOTA DEALER SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT IS! I HOPE THIS WILL BECOME A RECALL.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION 6 MONTHS AGO THAT NO PASSENGERS COULD SAFELY SIT IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AS A RESULT OF THE TAKATA RECALL. SINCE THEN, MY PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN ON SEVERAL UNCOMFORTABLE LONG, 5+ HOUR FREQUENT TRIPS, OR I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE MY CAR FOR THOSE TRIPS. AFTER 6 MONTHS, I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT THE PARTS CAN BE FIXED. SINCE I LIVE IN A BUSY CITY AND WOULD TYPICALLY RIDE WITH PASSENGERS, MY CAR HAS BECOME UNSAFE AND USELESS FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN OCCASIONAL LONE TRIPS. I AM SHOCKED THAT NO OTHER REMEDY HAS BEEN OFFERED TO HELP THOSE IMPACTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL. *JS

ENGINE
DEC 27 2015 AROUND RENO NV. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES THAT DAY. I WAS BREAKING GENTLY TO COME TO A STOP (BECAUSE OF A STOP SIGN). THE SHIFTER WAS IN "D". WHEN THE CAR SPEED DECREASED TO AROUND 10MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I APPLIED MAXIMUM PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR. THE CAR STOPPED, THE ENGINE WAS IDLING AFTER THE STOP. AFTER THE STOP, EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL, TILL IT HAPPENED THE 2 OTHER TIMES THIS DAY (SAME SCENARIO). DEC 29 2015 IN SOUTH LAKE TAHOE CA. I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 10MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN DOWNTOWN. SHIFTER WAS IN "D". THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN FULL FORCE. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I APPLIED FULL FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND AT THE SAME SHIFTED IN NEUTRAL. MY CAR STOPPED JUST A COUPLE INCHES OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NOW IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR HALTED, THE ENGINE IS REDLINING HITTING THE REV LIMITER AND STAYING THERE. I SHIFTED TO "PARK" AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WAITED FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. I STARTED THE ENGINE AND STAYED IN "PARK", IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO RED LINE AND STAYED THERE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED ABOUT 5 SECONDS. I STARTED THE ENGINE A SECOND TIME, SAME THING, ENGINE SHOOTS UP TO RED LINE AND STAY THERE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I STARTED THE ENGINE A THIRD TIME. THIS TIME, THE ENGINE STAYED AT IDLE AND I COULD GO NORMALLY. AT THE TIMES OF THE PROBLEM, THE TEMP. WAS AROUND -1 DEGREE CELSIUS. AFTER THE LAST OCCURRENCE, I STOPPED AND CHECKED IF ANYTHING WAS IN THE WAY OF THE GAS PEDAL. NOTHING WAS IN THE WAY. HAPPENS ONLY AT LOW SPEED, WHEN YOU TRY TO STOP THE CAR. THIS LAST OCCURRENCE DECIDED ME TO WRITE TO YOU BECAUSE THE CAR PUT ME IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND WE VERY LITTLE TIME TO REACT. *JS

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL! THANK GOD, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED, HOWEVER, I AM WRITING IN COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SLOWNESS OF GETTING THE AIRBAGS REPLACED/FIXED IN MY VEHICLE IN REGARDS TO THE RECALL. EVERY TIME I GET INTO MY CAR, I FEAR THAT SOMETHING WILL MAKE THE AIRBAG(S) DEPLOY WHICH WILL INJURE OR KILL EITHER MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OR MYSELF, OR BOTH OF US. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND CANNOT AT THIS TIME AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH AN AGENCY REPRESENTATIVE AT LEAST TWO MONTHS AGO. THIS PERSON REALLY DID NOT OFFER ANY THING TO MY INQUIRY, ONLY THAT THAT THINGS WERE BEING EXPEDITED AND I SHOULD CHECK WITH MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. WHILE I DO UNDERSTAND THERE ARE LOGISTICS TO RESOLVING THIS ISSUE, THAT TAKATA OFFICIALS DRAGGED THEIR FEET, THAT THE "POWERS THAT BE" DON'T WANT TO INUNDATE THE DEALER(SHIPS) WITH AN OVERABUNDANCE OF REPAIRS AT THE SAME TIME, AND THAT, NOW, HAH IS BEING CONSIDERED, I NEED THOSE "POWERS" TO UNDERSTAND THAT ON TOP OF EVERY OTHER FEAR ONE HAS WHEN GETTING ON THE ROAD, WE DRIVERS, I, NOW HAVE THE REAL FEAR THAT A DEVICE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT ME AND MY FAMILY CAN NOW SERIOUSLY HARM EITHER ONE OF US AT ANY TIME. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING FAR TOO LONG FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE AT THE PLACE IT CURRENTLY IS. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO PERSONALLY CONTACT ME, EITHER MY MAIL, EMAIL OR PHONE, TO GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON WHEN MY VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED! HEARING OF ANOTHER FATALITY ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS DOES NOT ALLAY MY FEARS.
