TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 6 MONTHS SINCE WE RECEIVED THE INTERIM RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING SINCE. TOYOTA IS ACTING IN AN UNETHICAL AND DANGEROUS MANNER BY TAKING SO LONG TO REMEDY THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL DEFECT. AS A COUPLE THAT ALMOST ALWAYS TRAVELS TOGETHER IN THE COROLLA, WE HAVE BEEN DENIED THE USE OF OUR VEHICLE BY TOYOTA. THIS IS A LOSS AND WE ARE BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY TOYOTA. BECAUSE, WE MIGHT AS WELL NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE, BUT CAN'T IN GOOD CONSCIENCE UNLOAD IT ON SOMEONE ELSE. THE INTERIM RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA CALLS IT AN 'INCONVENIENCE' AND WARNS US NOT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH A PASSENGER. WE HAVE BEEN PATIENT, BUT OUR PATIENCE IS AT AN END. NOW, WE ARE ANGRY AND IT IS ONLY REASONABLE THAT IF OUR TOYOTA IS NOT REPAIRED IN THE NEXT 60 DAYS, WE WILL AVAIL OURSELVES OF EVERY LEGAL AND ETHICAL MEANS TO BE COMPENSATED FOR OUR LOSS AND THE UNTENABLE AND DANGEROUS SITUATION TOYOTA HAS PUT (AND KEPT) US IN.

TAKATA RECALL DEFECTIVE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH CAN CAUSE DEATH OR GREAT BODILY INJURY UPON A COLLISION OR IMPACT.. RECALL ISSUED BY TOYOTA ON 6/16/2015. I RECEIVED LETTER IN AUGUST 2015 ABOUT THE RECALL. I WENT TO NORTHRIDGE TOYOTA AT `19550 NORDHOFF ST., NORTHRIDGE, CA 91324. I SPOKE TO ASST.SVC. MGR., MARTY APROIAN WHO PROVIDED INFO AND INSTRUCTIONS TO OBTAIN REPAIR. I TELEPHONED SVC DEPT ON 9/1/2015 AND SPOKE TO KATHRYN WHO SAID PART WILL BE ORDERED AND THEY WILL CALL WHEN PART ARRIVES. NO CONTACT WHATSOEVER FROM NORTHRIDGE TOYOTA, SO I PHONED THEM AGAIN ON 12/24/2015 AND SPOKE TO ANI. CHECKED ON STATUS AND SHE RELATED THAT THERE IS NO PART SO CANNOT REPAIR DANGEROUS CONDITION. SHE VERIFIED MY ORIOR CONTACT THEY WILL CALL WHEN PART ARRIVES. I HAVE SIGNIFICANT DOUBTS THAT DANGEROUS CONDITION WILL EVER BE REPAIRED IN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. SO I PHONED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER (CORPORATE) AT 888 270 9371 AND SPOKE WITH A DANNY WHO OPENED A CLAIM WITH A REF # OF 1512241258. IT APPEARS THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING TO ASSIST IN OBTAINING THE NECESSARY REPAIR. AND REFERRED ME TO SERVICE MANAGER AT NORTHRIDGE TOYOTA, SO NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED RE CORRECTING A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. FIVE PLUS MONTHS HAVE ELAPSED SINCE THE RECALL DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS IN SEEKING THE REPAIR THAT HAS NOT BEEN DONE. PLEASE HELP IN WHATEVER REGULATORY MANNER POSSIBLE TO SEE THAT I OBTAIN THE REPAIR ASAP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, MY CAR WILL REV UP. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M GOING DOWN HILL. ANOTHER CONCERN IS THAT MY CAR WILL MAKE A 2-3 SECOND RATTLING NOISE UPON STARTING UP. IT ONLY MAKES THIS NOISE ONCE IN A WHILE AND IT IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. ANOTHER ISSUE I'M HAVING IS THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACK LIGHT AND VSC OFF LIGHT COMING ON SIMULTANEOUSLY ON ANY RAINY DAY AND STAYING ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS AFTER IT HAS STOPPED RAINING. I AVOID DRIVING AT FAST SPEEDS WHEN ITS RAINY BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE CAR IS VERY UNSTABLE. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WONT OPEN OR CLOSE AND VERY COLD DAYS AND OTHER DAYS IT MAKES A WEIRD NOISE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND IT HAS ABOUT 79K MILES ON IT.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 15V285 AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL - THE INTERIM RECALL HAS BEEN PROVIDED MORE THAN SIX MONTHS AGO. THERE HAS BEEN NO COMMUNICATIONS ON THIS SINCE AND THERE IS NO INDICATION AS TO WHEN THE REPAIRS WILL BE STARTED OR COMPLETED. THE INTERIM RECALL SUGGESTS TO NOT HAVE ANY PASSENGERS. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY A RIDICULOUS PROPOSITION FOR PEOPLE THAT DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE - UNLESS TOYOTA IS WILLING TO PROVIDE RENTALS OF THE SAME CALIBER CAR WITHOUT THIS DEFECT SO THAT FAMILIES CAN TRAVEL IN PEACE. THE SUGGESTION TO NOT HAVE THE PASSENGER THERE IS FLAWED GIVEN THAT IF THERE WILL BE METAL SHARDS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THOSE SHARDS COULD ALSO EFFECT THE DRIVER AS WELL AS ANYONE SITTING IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THIS DEEMS THE ENTIRE VEHICLE NON-OPERABLE. I WAS ASSUMING THAT INITIALLY THE ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED EXPEDIENTLY, BUT TO MY HORROR THAT IS NOT THE CASE. IT IS DISTURBING THAT THERE IS NOT MORE DEMANDED OUT OF TOYOTA.

TOKATA RECALL IN AUGUST 2015 TOYOTA INFORMED ME THAT MY COROLLA WAS PART OF THE RECALL PROGRAM TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS WHICH WERE SUBJECT TO SPEWING SHRAPNEL WHEN DISCHARGED. I WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO GET THE REPLACEMENT COMPLETED, SHOWING THEM THE NOTICE I RECEIVED. THE DEALER, SMART TOYOTA (563.388.6880) INFORMED ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE YET, AND THAT I SHOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER LETTER WHEN THE THE PARTS WERE ON HAND AND COULD BE INSTALLED. I CHECKED WITH THEM AGAIN ON 9 OCTOBER TO LEARN WHETHER THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED THE SAME ANSWER AS I DID IN AUGUST AT MY INITIAL VISIT: THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET AND THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER INFORMING ME WHEN THEY WERE. TODAY IS 24 DECEMBER, AND I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED THAT LETTER. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR WITH AIRBAGS THAT COULD STRAFE ME WITH SHRAPNEL SHOULD I BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE TO A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. I FEEL THAT PERHAPS I SHOULD HAVE THE AIRBAGS REMOVED OR DISABLED UNTIL THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, AND TO RELY ON THE SAFETY BELTS FOR CRASH PROTECTION. WHAT IS THE NHTSA POSITION ON THIS ISSUE?

TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. I RECEIVED MY LETTER/NOTICE ABOUT THE RECALL BACK IN JUNE/JULY AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT WHEN I CAN ACTUALLY TAKE MY CAR IN TO BE SERVICED. THIS IS A CONCERN FOR ME AS THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND WHAT I USED DAILY TO TAKE ME TO WORK & EVERYWHERE ELSE IN BETWEEN. I DO NOT WANT TO RISK MY LIFE OR MY PASSENGERS LIVES BECAUSE TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO REPLACE THIS PART.

TAMARA INFLATORS. I RECEIVED A LETTER DESCRIBING THE AIR BAG ISSUE ON 8/15/15. TODAY'S DATE IS 12/18/15. NO ONE HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT SINCE THE INITIAL NOTICE. MOREOVER I AM WORRIED THAT IF THE BAG DEPLOYS IT MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO PANIC AND BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER IS MY COLLEGE AGE SON WHO WANTS HIS FRIENDS TO ACCOMPANY HIM. WE HAVE BEEN BESET WITH THIS DANGER FOR TOO LONG. THE TOYOTA COMPANY IS NO HELP AT ALL.
