AIR BAGS
I HAVE A TOYOTA COROLLA 2009S IT WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL THAT ORIGINAL REMEDY WAS COMPLETED IN 2017. SINCE THAT DAY I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND CONCERNS WITH A FOUL ODOR COMING FROM THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY THE DEALERSHIP VIA EMAIL SAYING THAT I NEED TO BRING IT BACK IN THE AIRBAGS ARE BEING RECALLED THAT WERE USED TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL RECALL. ONCE I GET TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY MY VIN NUMBER HAS NOT HIT IN HSTA'S WEBSITE SO I'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT WHICH COULD BE UP TO A YEAR. THEY HAVE INDICATED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT MY VEHICLE IS GOING TO BE RECALLED IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME IN THE MEANTIME I'M LEFT TO DRIVE A CAR THAT IS A PUBLIC SAFETY FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS KNOWING THAT THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY AT ANYTIME. HE INFORMED ME THE VEHICLES IN FLORIDA RECALLS WILL BE REPAIRED FIRST DUE TO THE HEAT AND THEN THEY'LL MOVE THEIR WAY UP TO ZOMBIE IN THE MEANTIME I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND IT'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS TO DRIVE THEY FAILED TO WORK WITH ME.

CLUNKING NOISE, SOMETIMES VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN GOING OVER SPEED BUMP AND TURNING STEERING TO RIGHT OR LEFT. TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TWICE. BOTH TIMES THEY SAID THE NOISE IS NORMAL. BUT INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SAYS THERE IS PROBLEM WITH CV JOINT AND BUSHING. I AM WONDERING IF THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS THE PLS P&A CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR AND EXPLAINED THAT THE MALFUNCTION WAS THE SAME AS IN OTHER CARS THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED. BECAUSE IT WAS THE SAME MALFUNCTION, I BELIEVE THAT MINE AND OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL TO PREVENT HARM TO OTHER DRIVERS.
