AIR BAGS
I BELIEVED MY AIRBAG WAS FIXED. I TOOK MY TOYOTA COROLLA IN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN NOVEMBER. THEY ADVISED ME THEY COULD FIX MY AIRBAG. THEY CALLED ME TO PICK IT UP AND STATED IT WAS FIXED. HOWEVER I GOT A NEW SAFETY RECALL IN THE MAIL SAYING MY COROLLA HAS A AIRBAG RECALL. I CALLED THE TOYOTA COMPANY AS STATED ON THE FORM AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LADY STATED THAT THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL AND THE FIRST FIX WAS NOT A FIX. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. HAVE I BEEN DRIVING AROUND IN MY CAR WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG NOT FIXED WHEN I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED. THIS IS NOT SAFE. THAT MEANS FOR 3 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH AN UNSAFE AIRBAG THAT COULD KILL ME OR MY PASSENGER. TOYOTA IS SAYING THAT THEY HAVE NO PARTS AND NO FIX AT THIS TIME. BUT LEGALLY THEY ARE TO NOTIFY ME. THIS IS VERY STRESSFUL AND JUST PLAIN WRONG. IT'S NOT SAFE AND THEY ARE PUTTING MY LIFE AND FAMILY IN JEOPARDY. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY ARE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY OR WORKING FAST ENOUGH WITH A SOLUTION. SHE KEPT TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE MOST CONCERNED WITH THE GULF STATES. WELL I LIVE A HOUR AND A HALF FROM THE GULF. SECONDLY THE TEST RESULTS SHOW THEY ARE NOT SURE IF HUMIDITY PLAYS A PART IN THE AIRBAG ISSUE. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD BE OFFERING A SAFE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OR OFFERING US RENTAL CARS. *TR

AIR BAGS
I HAVE RECEIVED MULTIPLE RECALL NOTICES ABOUT REPLACING AIR BAG INFLATORS FOR MY VEHICLE . ON DECEMBER 1ST 2014 I HAD AN APPOINTMENT MADE TO GET THE CAR LOOKED AT. THEY SAID WHEN MAKING THE APPOINTMENT THAT THE CAR NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED RIGHT AWAY TO SEE IF THE FAULTY AIR BAGS WERE IN OUR CAR. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND THEY SAID THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME AND TURNED US AWAY. I JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA STATING THAT BASED ON THEIR RECORDS I DID NOT GET THE CAR SERVICED FOR THE RECALL THAT WAS UPDATED IN JUNE 2014 WHICH CALLED FOR THESE AIRBAG INFLATORS TO BE REPLACED REGARDLESS OF INSPECTION RESULTS AND THEY RECOMMEND THAT THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEN WITH PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL THE AIR BAGS ARE REPLACED!!! THIS IS BECOMING VERY FRUSTRATING AND SEEING THAT THIS CAR IS THE PRIMARY VEHICLE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR FAMILY NOW WE SHOULD NOT HAVE FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS UNTIL PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE WHICH IS NOT FEASIBLE, SO NOW WE HAVE TO RUN THE RISK OF BEING SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE BECAUSE THIS RECALL IS NOT BEING HANDLED PROPERLY BY TOYOTA AND THIS DEALERSHIP WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE. BASICALLY THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD AND THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND PROVIDE ALTERNATE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION UNTIL THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE THE DEALERSHIP THAT REFUSED SERVICE IS BOCH TOYOTA SOUTH 620 S WASHINGTON STREET ATTLEBORO MA 02761 PLEASE HELP! *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA HORN JUST STOPPED WORKING ONE DAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG WAS FAULTY AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I ASSUMED THAT IT (THE AIRBAG) WOULD BE REPLACED AT TOYOTA'S EXPENSE, BECAUSE OF THERE MANY AIRBAG RECALLS. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE, TOYOTA IS CLAIMING THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE AIRBAG RECALL LIST. SO, I CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE AND OF COURSE I RECEIVED THE "SORRY WE CAN'T HELP YOU STATEMENT"! THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM, SO HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT TOYOTA GET TO CHOOSE WHAT AIRBAGS SHOULD BE ON THERE RECALL LIST? BEWARE ALL TOYOTA OWNERS!!! *TR

AIR BAGS
I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING RECALL LETTERS SINCE 2011 OR SO. I CALL TOYOTA TO HAVE THIS ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF EVERY 6 MONTHS AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX MY RECALL HAVE NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED YET. THE LAST TIME I CALLED TOYOTA IN MAMARONECK,NY,THEY ACTUALLY GAVE ME AN APPOINTMENT BUT WHEN I GOT THERE THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?? I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR WHICH AIR BAGS ARE NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED. *TR

STEERING
THERE IS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE ROAD SURFACES CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK AND CREATES A RATTLING CLUNK NOISE AND LOW SPEEDS. IF THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SIDE TO SIDE, THE APPARENT NOISE IS CLICKING. I SUSPECT THIS IS A FAULTY STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CAR TENDS TO DRIFT OUT OF THE LANE. UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES CAUSES THE WHEEL TO JERK AT CITY AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEEL BALANCING AND VEHICLE ALIGNMENT WERE PERFORMED. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. REPLACING THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS WELL AS THE REPLACEMENT/REPROGRAM OF THE EPS MODULE. *TR

AIR BAGS
AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING INTERMITTENTLY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO CHARGED $ 100 FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $500 TO FIX. I THEN TOOK IT TO A SELF EMPLOYED MECHANIC WHO HAD WORKED FOR TOYOTA. HE SAID IT HAD JUST BECOME DISCONNECTED UNDER THE SEAT. HE WAS ABLE TO FIX IT, IT SEEMED, FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS COMING BACK. I RECENTLY LEARNED ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. SEVERAL WHO HAVE SHELLED OUT THE MONEY TO TOYOTA TO HAVE IT "FIXED" SAY THE PROBLEM HAS NOT GONE AWAY. I AM SO ANGRY THAT TOYOTA HASN'T TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY AND NHTSA IS NOT HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE. *TR
