AIR BAGS
ON THURSDAY JULY 16 2015, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FOR MY 2005 COROLLA. IT STATES THE MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRBAGS AND STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT NO ONE OCCUPIES THE PASSENGER SEAT SO THAT IF FOR SOME REASON THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY, IT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. WHILE LOOKING UP INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL, I FOUND THAT IT ORIGINALLY WAS RECALLED ON MAY 13TH 2015, TWO MONTHS BEFORE I RECEIVED MINE IN THE MAIL. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA WOULD WAIT THAT LONG TO INFORM ITS DRIVERS. ON TOP OF THIS, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED, ONLY TO BE TOLD TODAY THAT TOYOTA IS ONLY SENDING THE PARTS TO THE DEALERSHIPS IN SMALL INCREMENTS. MY COMPLAIN ONLY ENTAILS THAT TOYOTA IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. THANK YOU

I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA YESTERDAY REGARDING THE RECALL FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS. THE RECALL LETTER SAYS THAT THE INFLATOR CAN RUPTURE "STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." IT SAYS THE REPAIRS SHOULD BE PERFORMED IMMEDIATELY AND THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED. AFTER CONTACTING MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, I LEARNED THAT I CANNOT BE SEEN FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS TO GET THE NECESSARY REPAIRS COMPLETED. I CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND THEY SUGGESTED I CONTACT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A RENTAL. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTS THEY ARE NOT GIVING RENTALS (EVEN ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS) DUE TO THE SHEER NUMBERS OF RECALLS THEY ARE HANDLING...I AM SEVERLY CONCERNED THAT SUCH A STRONGLY WORDED RECALL WENT OUT REPORTING THAT THE "OCCUPANTS" (NOT ONE) COULD BE INJURED RELATED TO THIS DEFECT AND YET THERE IS A 3 MONTH DELAY IN REPAIRING MY VEHICLE. IT APPEARS THAT THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO HUMIDITY AND I LIVE ON THE GULF COAST WHERE IT IS ALWAYS HUMID AND MOIST. IT IS DISTRESSING TO ME THAT I AM NOW EXPECTED MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH OTHER PEOPLE OR ANOTHER VEHICLE IF I NEED TO TRANSPORT FIVE PEOPLE IN MY (AS I DID THIS WEEKEND WITH MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS). IT IS ANNOYING THAT ANY OTHER PASSENGER WOULD BE EXPECTED TO RIDE IN THE BACK AND HOPE THAT THEY ARE NOT ONE OF THE OCCUPANTS AFFECTED BY METAL FRAGMENTS THAT COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG.....WHILE I AM CERTAIN THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR TOYOTAL TO MANAGE, IT IS DISAPPOINTING TO ME THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR ME TO BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE THIS CAR FOR AN ADDITIONAL 3 MONTHS KNOWING THE RISK. I AM HOPING THAT SOMEONE CAN LOOK INTO HOW TOYOTA IS HANDLING THE RECALL AND IF THEY ARE SERIOUSLY TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE SAFETY OF THOSE WHO WERE UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO CHOOSE TOYOTA YEARS AGO (A MISTAKE I WILL NOT MAKE IN THE FUTURE)....UPDATED 10/20/15 *BF UPDATED 2/24/2016*JS UPDATED 12/05/2017*CN

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH AND A CAR WAS CUTTING INTO MY LANE AND I SWERVED AND BLEW MY HORN AND THEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, STAYED ON AND IS STILL ON. WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID THE "TECHNICIAN FOUND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE B1181 OPEN CIRCUIT IN DRIVER'S SIDE SQUIB AND RECOMMEND REPLACING THE SPIRAL CABLE" (A PART ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIRBAGS) AND AS LONG AS THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON, I HAD NO AIRBAG PROTECTION. THE ESTIMATE TO FIX IS VERY EXPENSIVE.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATION MODULE. CALLED BERGLUND TOYOTA IN LYNCHBURG, VIRGINA TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO SCHEDULE THE SERVICE. LEFT 2 MESSAGES REGARDING MY CALL INCLUDING THE VIN NUMBER OF MY CAR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NEVER RETURNED MY CALLS. I WILL TRY ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER THAT IS 2 HOURS AWAY AND SEE IF I CAN GET SOMETHING SCHEDULED WITH THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT A RECALL THAT STATES "DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE" IF THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED WOULD PROMPT THE DEALERSHIP TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE OR HAVE MY CAR SERVICED AT BERGLUND TOYOTA IN LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA.

ENGINE
I HAD TO REPLACE THE SERPENTINE BELT, BECAUSE IT WAS SQUEAKING (DRY AND CRACKED); I COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA ABOUT HAVING TO REPLACE IT AFTER SUCH A SHORT TIME BUT WAS TOLD BASICALLY THAT THEY DIDN'T CARE, SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD ONGOING - AND I THOUGHT UNRELATED - ISSUES WITH THE GEARS SLIPPING BUT COULDN'T IDENTIFY A CAUSE. IN JANUARY 2015, I HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE GEARS SLIPPED. ON JULY 17, 2015, I HAD THE SERPENTINE BELT REPLACED FOR A SECOND TIME, BECAUSE IT WAS STARTING TO SQUEAK AGAIN. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, THE NEW BELT, NOT MADE BY TOYOTA, SOLVED THE OTHER PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH SHIFTING (MY CAR IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION). THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE HAD HEARD COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ABOUT HAVING TO REPLACE THE SERPENTINE BELT, A PART THAT SHOULD LAST APPROX. 100,000 MILES/10 YEARS, AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS. IT WAS HIS OPINION THAT THE BELT WAS DEFECTIVE. THE DIFFERENCE A NEW, NON-TOYOTA BELT HAS MADE TO MY CAR - UNEXPECTEDLY RESOLVING THE OTHER ISSUES I WAS HAVING - HAS CONVINCED ME THAT TOYOTA IS MAKING A DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS PRODUCT, ONE THAT THEY FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE.
