UNKNOWN OR OTHER
3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, MICE STARTING COMING INTO THE AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM. I HAVE TRIED TO KEEP THEM OUT HOWEVER THE DESIGN FLAW IN THE CABIN AIR INTAKE WILL NOT PREVENT THEM FROM COMING IN. THERE IS A HUGE OPENING WHERE THEY CONSTANTLY COME IN. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS BETWEEN DISEASES AND THREAT OF WIRES BEING CHEWED. WE ALSO HAD A TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND TRADED IT IN AND HAS A FORD NOW AND DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM AT ALL WITH MICE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN EVER I TURN OFF THE CAR THEN START IT AGAIN AND MOVE EITHER FORWARD OR BACKWARD THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND IN MY FORWARD BREAK AREA. I TOOK IT IN TO TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE SOUND. I TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED A PART TWICE. IT STOPS GRINDING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT THEN IT COMES BACK. IT NOW HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY TIME I GO FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. ALSO, IF I GO OVER A BUMPY STRETCH OF ROAD OR SUDDENLY STEP ON MY BRAKES THE BRAKES GRIND AND I AM UNABLE TO STOP FOR A FEW SECONDS. IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ABS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS DAILY.

AIR BAGS
I HAVE RECIEVED THE RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT AFTER OPENING THE DOOR PANEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR, THAT A CRITICAL PART (A LARGE HEAD BOLT) WAS NEEDED BUT THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY IN STOCK. THEY STATED (AND I CONFIRMED WITH THEIR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER) THAT TOYOTA WILL ONLY RELEASE 5 OF THE LARGE HEADED BOLTS A DAY TO THE DEALERS. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT 128 PEOPLE WERE AHEAD OF ME IN LINE FOR THIS PART MAKING IT VERY CLEAR THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE NECESSAY REPAIR DONE FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. TOYOTA CONFIRMED THAT I AM EXPECTED TO DRIVE AROUND WITH A FAULTY AIR BAG STSTEN FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. IT IS APPALLING TO ME THAT TOYOTA WOULD PUT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER LIKE THIS BY NOT SUPPLYING THE NECESSARY PARTS IN A TIMLEY MANNER. HOW CAN THE GOVERNMENT ALLOW THIS? WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE AROUND FOR OVER 3 WEEKS KNOWING WHAT I KNOW ABOUT MY CAR'S AIRBAG SYSTEM. I EXPECT YOU TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATLEY TO AVOID LARGE SCALE NEGATIVE PUBLICITY FOR TOYOTA AND FOR YOUR AGENCY AND THE LACK OF OVERSITE ON YOUR PART.

AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND ON MY WAY I HEARD THIS "CLICK CLICK" SOUND COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS SO AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. ROUGHLY ABOUT THREE OR FOUR MORE DAYS GO BY AND THE ANNOYING CLICKING STARTED AGAIN AND THEN ONE OF THE ICON ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP. I OPENED THE GLOVE BOX TO GET OUT THE MANUAL. THE MANUAL HAD SHOWN THAT IT WAS THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I FIGURED SINCE I WAS DUE FOR A OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT WOULD ASK THEM ABOUT THAT LIGHT. ON AUGUST 2, 2013 I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE OIL CHANGE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE LIGHTED ICON WAS ABOUT THE AIRBAG AND SAID THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED "HOW COME I NEED TO REPLACE A AIRBAG THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN USED YET?" THEY SAID THAT SPIRAL CABLE HAD A FAILURE AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE I GOT A INSPECTION STICKER OR ELSE MY CAR WILL FAIL THE INSPECTION. I ASKED THE MAN IF IT WAS PART OF A RECALL BECAUSE IT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT TO ME THAT A AIRBAG WILL NEED REPLACING EVEN IF IT HASN'T BEEN USED. THEY SAID NO. SO I MADE A APPOINTMENT FOR AUGUST 24, 2013. I PAID $380.00 FOR THE REPAIR OF A SPIRAL CABLE. I WASN'T HAPPY AT ALL. SO NOW JULY 20, 2015 I GET A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT REPLACING THE AIRBAG AND WHICH I PAID $380.00 FOR BACK IN 2013. MY FIRST QUESTION HOW DO OR WHO DO I GET MY REFUND FOR REPLACING A DEFECTED AIRBAG? CAN YOU PLEASE DIRECT ME TO THE PROPER PLACE TO MAKE A CLAIM BECAUSE I THINK THAT IT'S UNFAIR FOR ME TO LOOSE OUT ON $380. I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE I WORK VERY HARD TO SAVE MONEY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
