TAMARA RECALL IN 2015 I WAS SOLD A 2007 TOYOTA YARIS HATCHBACK. AUGUST 10, 2017 I WAS NOTIFIED OF A POSSIBLY DEADLY DEFECT IN THE CAR THAT TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE MY CAR WAS SOLD TO ME. THE FACT THE AUTO MANUFACTURER CHOSE TO PUT MY FAMILY'S LIVES IN JEOPARDY, AND IS ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF OTHERS, INSTEAD OF IMMEDIATELY NOTIFYING EVERY COMSUMER, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO EAT THE COST OF OF THE MASSIVE RECALL, IS UNACCEPTABLY IMMORAL BEHAVIOR. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I WILL NO LONGER BE PURCHASING A CAR FROM THESE COMPANIES, AND I WILL SEEK A FULL REFUND ON THE PRICE I PAID FOR THE CAR, AND WILL SHOP ELSEWHERE. THEY KNEW ABOUT IT AND CONTINUED TO MAKE AND SELL THEM. THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMER IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN COMPANY PROFITS.

(TOYOTA CASE # [XXX]) - ON 7/14/2017, I PHONED THE TOYOTA PHONE NUMBER LISTED ON THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT, INDICATING THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A "SAFETY RECALL" BEGINNING 2009, REQUIRING THE "SOUND INSULATOR SSC (17T0C90C)" TO BE REPLACED (SEE ATTACHED LETTER -TO FOLLOW). ALTHOUGH THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE REPLACED IT "ON 4-8-2009, ORDER # 0913552", I DON'T RECALL THIS TO BE TRUE BECAUSE I DO NOT RECALL EVER RECEIVING ANY MAIL REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I REQUESTED REPRESENTATIVE [XXX], TO PROVIDE ME WITH SUCH DOCUMENTATION. SHE THEN SAID THAT THE RECALL TIME PERIOD ENDED AND THAT I HAD ONLY 6-12 MONTHS TO TELL THEM THAT THIS REPLACEMENT WAS DEFECTIVE. AS PER THE DOCUMENTATION, THE DRIVER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETECT THIS UNLESS CHECKED BY THE SERVICE DEPT. IT WAS DETERMINED ON 5-17-2017 TO BE DEFECTIVE, NEEDING REPLACEMENT WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A PERIODIC OIL CHANGE (SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT - TO FOLLOW). I ASKED [XXX] TO HAVE HER SUPERVISOR REVIEW OUR TAPED CONVERSATION AND CONTACT ME WITH THE APPROPRIATE REPLACEMENT. IT APPEARS THAT EVEN IF THEY CAN SUBSTANTIATE THAT THEY REPLACED IT BACK IN 2009, MY CONTENTION THAT IT IS ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO POSE AN ARBITRARY 6-12 MONTH CUT OFF PERIOD FOR A REPLACEMENT AT NO CHARGE TO THE OWNER. AS OF THIS WRITING, I DID NOT GET A CALL BACK OR EVEN AN E-MAIL RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA. PLEASE INTERVENE ON MY BEHALF BECAUSE A "SAFETY RECALL" ISSUE MUST BE ADHERED TO BY LAW AND IF THE ONE PUT IN AS A REPLACEMENT (LIKE THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL), THEN TOYOTA IS LIABLE AND RESPONSIBLE TO REPLACE THAT DEFECTIVE ONE TOO. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON 7/9/2017 @ 6:45PM WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 90 THE REAR BUMPER PANEL ON MY 2012 TOYOTA YARIS CAME UNHINGED AND WAS FLAPPING CAUSING THE RIGHT SIDE TO ALSO DETACH. THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HOLD THE BUMPER ARE NOT HOLDING! MY CAR IS IN GRATE/EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT APPEARS TO BE A POORLY ASSEMBLED AND/OR DESIGNE DEFECT MADE BY THE MANUFACTURE SINCE I WAS DRIVE THE HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT. I AM ON VACATION HEADED TO SOUTH DAKOTA FROM CALIFORNIA AND THIS PUTS MYSELF, PASSENGER, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY IN DANGER IF IT COMPLETELY DETACHES!

TAKATA RECALL NOTHING IS BEING DONE AND WE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF OUR CAR'S PROBLEM BACK IN MAY OF 2016. WE ARE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH A DANGEROUS PART IN IT AND TOYOTA HAS NOT CONTACTED US ABOUT THE PROBLEM SINCE LAST YEAR WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT US SOON WITH A TIME FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AIRBAG. THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED US SINCE, AND IT'S GOING ON 14 MONTHS NOW. WE WOULD LIKE SOME HELP TO GET TOYOTA TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE OUR AIRBAG AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS CAR IS EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF HEAT AS IT IS PARKED IN AN OUTDOOR PARKING LOT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DURING WORK DAYS.

SEATS
MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT MANUAL TRACK HAS BROKEN. I CANNOT ADJUST IT FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. THERE IS A SPRING THAT FELL OFF UNDERNEATH. I PUT IT BACK CORRECTLY JUST AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO GO, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE ENTIRE LATCHING MECHANISM HAS FAILED. MY 2007 YARIS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER SEAT. THE CHASSIS FOR ALL MODEL YEAR YARIS' ARE THE SAME. I BELIEVE THE SEAT MECHANISMS WE'RE CONTINUED TO BE BUILT WITH A KNOWN ISSUE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES AND THIS SEAT IS BARELY USED.
