I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. MY FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG HAS BEEN RECALLED SINCE SOMETIME THIS SUMMER. I ONLY HAVE 1 CAR AND 3 KIDS THAT I TAKE TO APPOINTMENTS, ETC. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IF SOMETHING IS IN RECALL, WHY PARTS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH AN UPDATE. THANK YOU. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I LEASED MY CAR IN JUNE 2013 AND ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF LATER THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKES ARE GETTING LOW. I WAS CONFUSED I THOUGHT BRAKES LASTED A LEAST THREE YEARS BRAND NEW OUT THE DEALERSHIP. HE SAID NO IT DEPENDS HOW I DRIVE AND HOW MANY TIMES I STOP. SO I SAID REALLY YOU HAVE CARS COMING IN A YEAR AND HALF LATER THAT HAVE LOW BRAKES ALREADY IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GUYS PUT IN CHEAP BRAKES. HE SAID NO THAT THEIR BRAKES ARE TOP QUALITY BRAKES. SO I SAID OK BUT I WILL WAIT SIX MONTHS. SO HERE WE ARE NOW 2 YEARS INTO MY LEASE AND ABOUT 19500 MILES INTO MY CAR THEY SAID I NEEDED BRAKES. I CALLED PEP BOYS, MIDAS, AND OTHER SHOPS THEY SAID MY BRAKES SHOULDN'T DIE THAT FAST. I SAID I THOUGHT SO TOO BUT THE TOYOTA INSIST THAT THEIR BRAKES ARE EXCELLENT AND THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR BRAKES TO DIE AT ABOUT 2 YEARS IN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAD MY VEHICLE IN IDLE AND RETRACTED MY DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOWS DOWN TO PULL MY NEPHEW INTO MY LAP TO SAY GOODBYE TO HIM. AT THIS TIME ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER STARTING MY CAR THE WINDOW PANEL, AS WELL AS BELOW THE DOOR PANEL TOWARDS THE SPEAKER A HEAVY SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC SPREAD AROUND THE CAR AND WHITE SMOKE STARTED BILLOWING OUT THROUGH THE SLIT THE WINDOW GLASS RETRACTS BACK INTO. AT THIS TIME I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED UNTIL THE TOXIC SMOKE HAD ESCAPED. THIS ISSUE WITH THE MASTER SWITCH HAS BEEN REPORTED BY TOYOTA FOR 2009 COROLLAS ONLY. THIS COULD HAVE POSED A SERIOUS HEALTH RISK HAD IT GONE UNNOTICED. AFTER DOING THE DIAGNOSTIC, IT WAS FOUND THAT IT WAS IN FACT A FAULTY SWITCH THAT PROBABLY "GOT WET". IF A CAR IS CATCHING ON FIRE AFTER A SIMPLE FLORIDA RAIN SHOWER, THAT IS NOT THE CONSUMER'S FAULT. FAULTY MANUFACTURING IS THE CASE HERE. WAITING ON TOYOTA CORPORATE RESPONSE OR WILL SEEK PROMPT LEGAL ACTION.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA IN JUNE 2015, LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IN THE NOTICE, THEY SAID "UNTIL THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE IN YOUR LOCATION, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." SINCE THEN I'VE CONTACTED TOYOTA SEVERAL TIMES TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHEN THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WOULD BE AVAILABLE, BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO GIVE ME ANY TIME FRAME WHATSOEVER. ALSO, THEIR REPRESENTATIVE WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE AT THE TOLL-FREE NUMBER TOYOTA PROVIDED TOLD ME THAT IF WE DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE, WE COULD GO TO A TOYOTA DEALER AND REQUEST A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL TOYOTA IS ABLE TO REMEDY OUR VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WITH THAT INFORMATION, THEY TOLD ME IT WASN'T TRUE, AND THAT THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT TOYOTA IS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO GIVE ME ANY KIND OF A TIME FRAME OF WHEN THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WILL BE AVAILABLE IN OUR PART OF THE COUNTRY. MEANWHILE, HAVE DECIDED TO NOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, BASED ON TOYOTA'S RECOMMENDATION, AND THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR US. IN ADDITION, THE RESALE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE HAS DECREASED SUBSTANTIALLY BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD DO A BETTER JOB OF LETTING US KNOW AN APPROXIMATE DATE FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART, OR THEY SHOULD PROVIDE US WITH A TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT VEHICLE, AS THEIR OWN EMPLOYEE SUGGESTED FROM A PHONE NUMBER TOYOTA ASKED US TO CALL.
