AIR BAGS
I TOOK MY CAR ON MAY 15, 2015 TO CORRECT THE AIR BAGS RECALL. THE TOYOTA DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPAIR THE RECALL BECAUSE THE PARTS IN THE AIRBAG LACK BAR CODE (INFLATOR MODULE OPENNED TECHLINE CASE). AFTER 3 MONTHS (TODAY 8/14/2015), THEY HAVE NOT CORRECTED MY AIRBAG BECAUSE THAT PART IS BACKORDER. THE TOYOTA DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THE PART. THEN, IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN MY CAR CAN BE SAFE.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN REGARDS TO MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR MODULE. IN RESPONSE TO THE NOTICE, I CALLED THE RECOMMENDED TOYOTA DEALER FOR ST PETERSBURG FL AT 8501 US HWY 19 N, PINELLAS PARK FL 33781 ON JULY 28, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD TAKE TWO WEEKS TO HAVE THE PART IN AND THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL FROM THEM TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. MORE THAN TWO WEEKS HAS PASSED AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A CALL FROM THEM. TODAY, AUGUST 14, I CALLED TO FOLLOW-UP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER TWO WEEKS, A MONTH, OR MAYBE LONGER. THE FIRST TIME I CALLED THEY DID NOT COLLECT MY VIN NUMBER, AND THIS TIME THEY ASKED FOR THE VIN AND SAID THAT THEY CAN ONLY TAKE ACTION WITH A VIN, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT MY FIRST CALL WAS NOT EVEN CAPTURED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME ACTION TAKEN TO HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE AND MY VEHICLE REPAIRED.

AIR BAGS
TODAY, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS CAR FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODEL. THE NOTICE SAID THAT NO REMEDY WAS YET AVAILABLE. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY VERIFIED THIS AND SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN A REMEDY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE NOTICE ADVISES THAT NOBODY SHOULD SIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR UNTIL THE INFLATOR MODULE IS REPLACED. INJURIES AND DEATH HAVE OCCURRED WHEN THE AIRBAG IMPROPERLY DEPLOYS. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR MY WIFE AND I TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY, MY OTHER CAR IS A 2004 HONDA CIVIC WHICH HAS ALSO BEEN RECALLED FOR, FIRST, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE AND, THEN, FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I'VE BEEN WAITING 4 MONTHS FOR THE DEALER TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE, SINCE THE AIRBAGS FOR BOTH CARS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED BY TAKATA, IT SEEMS TO ME LIKELY THAT THE TOYOTA WILL ALSO, SOME DAY, BE RECALLED AGAIN FOR THE FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME OBVIOUS THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 2 UNSAFE CARS SINCE THE TIME I PURCHASED THEM. CONSIDERING THE DANGER OF INJURY OR DEATH, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO ME THAT THE RECALLS ARE NOT BEING HANDLED BY TOYOTA OR HONDA IN A TIMELY MANNER WITH PROPER CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS OF THESE CARS. HONDA DID FINALLY RESPOND BY REPLACING THE PASSENGER SIDE MODULE IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR, AT THE SAME TIME TELLING ME I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT INDEFINITELY TO REPLACE THE DRIVER'S SIDE MODULE. FINALLY, I AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE REPLACED ON SEPT. 3. TOYOTA CAN GIVE ME NO DATE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGERS SIDE AND ASSURES ME THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS OK . I AM DOUBTFUL.

I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE MY CAR IS BEING RECALLED DUE TO DEFECTIVE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE DEALER AND OFFICIAL TOYOTA WEBSITE CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THIS DEFECT CAN BE REPAIRED. MY CAR IS NOT THE 1ST WAVE OF RECALLS. I AM PLANNING ON MOVING LONG DISTANCE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS TO COLORADO, SO CAN I GET MY CAR FIXED AT A TOYOTA DEALER THERE FOR FREE? I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ON THE WEBSITES THAT INCLUDED THIS QUESTION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. BY THE WAY, I AM FILING AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT THAT THE INFORMATION REGARDING TIMING FOR THE FIXES IS NOT AVAILABLE.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, TELLING ME THAT THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (SRS ECU) HAS BEEN RECALLED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. (NHTSA RECALL ID 15V285) AT THAT TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE SRS ECU, BUT THAT I WOULD BE TOLD AT A LATER DATE WHEN THEY WERE AVAILABLE SO THAT I COULD HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. EARLIER THIS WEEK, I GOT ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. ALL THEY TOLD ME IN THIS NEWEST NOTICE IS THAT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND THAT PARTS ARE *STILL* NOT AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE SRS ECU. THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS TO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL I AM ABLE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FATHER TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT IN A MONTH. HE IS OVER 6 FEET TALL. I AM *NOT* GOING TO MAKE HIM SIT IN THE BACK SEAT BETWEEN TWO CHILD SEATS. I AM CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO MAKE HIM DRIVE HIMSELF AS HIS DOCTOR HAS INSISTED THAT HE HAVE A RIDE TO AND FROM HIS PROCEDURE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE THAT THEY HAVE *NO IDEA* WHEN THESE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND A FINE EXAMPLE OF POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. THESE PARTS NEED TO BE PRODUCED, TESTED, AND MADE AVAILABLE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

THERE IS NO INCIDENT, JUST A CONSUMER COMPLAINT. I HAVE TWO OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. 15V043 DATED 1/27/15 AND 15V285 DATED 6/10/14. NEITHER OF THESE RECALLS HAS A REMEDY YET AND THAT IS VERY DISTURBING. ESPECIALLY THE ONE A YEAR OLD. WE CAN'T PARK THE CAR, NEED IT FOR TRANSPORTATION SO WE DRIVE IT IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION. WHAT IF WE DESIRE TO SELL THE CAR? TWO OUTSTANDING RECALLS CERTAINLY AFFECT THE PRICE. IT IS MY OPINION THAT TOYOTA HAS DROPPED THE BALL IN GETTING A REMEDY FOR THESE RECALLS. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NHTSA TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE AND HAVE A REMEDY IN A TIMELY FASHION. THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY COMPLAINT AND PLEASE FORWARD IT TO THOSE WHO CAN GET SOMETHING DONE WITH THE RECALLS AND TOYOTA. *TR
