WHAT IS CONSIDERED "A TIMELY MANNER"? I'VE ASKED TOYOTA IF THEY COULD JUST REMOVE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. THEY SAID YES, BUT AT MY EXPENSE. I'M DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT COULD EXPLODE AND KILL ONE OF MY PASSENGERS. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL A REMEDY IS READY.

TAKATA RECALL TOYOTA IS TOO SLOW TO COME UP WITH A REMEDY FOR THE TAKATA DEFECT. THEY HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME SINCE MAY 23, 2016, BUT SO FAR HAVE DONE NOTHING TO GIVE US, THE OWNERS OF THESE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS, ANY PIECE OF MIND WITH A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM THAT COULD KILL US.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
VEHICLES WITH DELCO ECM HAVE A COMMON ISSUE WHERE THE FUEL INJECTORS LEAK INTO THE CYLINDER CAUSING ENGINE TO LOOSE COMPRESSION. THE LOWERED COMPRESSION CAUSES HARD START (IF ABLE TO START AT ALL) AND IF AND WHEN IT STARTS THE VEHICLE EMITS A CLOUD OF WHITE SMOKE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE THE ENGINE IDLES HUNTS CONSTANTLY. ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING MAKING BRAKING AND STEERING VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. ECM HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE DAMAGE IS DONE TO THE ENGINE AND NEEDS A REBUILD. MULTIPLE VEHICLES HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE FROM 2009 - 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA RANGING FROM 100 MILES - 179,000 MILES. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY DIFFERENT EFFECT WITH MILEAGE OR MAINTENANCE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A COMMUNICATION FROM TOYOTA DATED 6/9/16 IN REGARD TO A DEFECT IN MY CAR OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO TELL ME WHEN TO TAKE THE CAR TO MAKE THE CORRECTION. THEY RECOMMENDED NOT TO USE THAT SEAT; I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS; THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY CAR IS A FAMILY CAR & WE CAN'T TRAVEL TOGETHER. I'VE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO TOYOTA PUERTO RICO BECAUSE I HAVE THE FRONT SEAT OF MY CAR DISABLED FOR THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS. EVERY TIME I CALL THEY TELL ME A DIFFERENT REASON: 1)" WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE PARTS FOR CORRECTION", 2) " WE ARE EXPECTING THE PARTS FOR NEXT MONTH", 3) " WE ARE EXPECTING THE PARTS FOR THE END OF THE MONTH". ON 1/12/17 I WENT PERSONALLY TO TOYOTA AUTOCENTRO FOR THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL. THEY GAVE ME THE TOYOTA USA CALL CENTER NUMBER; BUT THAT PHONE NUMBER ANSWERS FROM PR. I NEED THE TOYOTA TO RESPOND FOR THIS SITUATION AND IF THEY CAN'T MAKE THE CORRECTION; THEY SHOULD PROVIDE A VEHICLE SO I CAN MOVE MY WHOLE FAMILY I THINK I HAVE BEEN PATIENT ENOUGH AND I FEEL THEY AREN'T DOING ANYTHING TO SOLVE THE SITUATION. I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN THE SOLUTION OF THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION RECENTLY VIA MAIL OF A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS RECALL IS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, MANUFACTURED BY TAKATA. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE "REMEDY" IS FOR ME TO NOT HAVE ANY PASSENGERS IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE "SECOND PHASE" OF THE RECALL TAKES PLACE BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THAT MIGHT BE. WHAT KIND OF REMEDY IS THIS? I CAN'T DRIVE ANYONE ANYWHERE UNLESS I MAKE THEM SIT IN THE BACKSEAT LIKE A TAXI. ALSO, THIS DECREASES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE I CAN HAVE IN MY CAR. I WANT THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AT THE VERY LEAST, TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM UNHAPPY WITH THEIR SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE.

TAKADA RECALL. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT AT THIS POINT IT HAD BEEN YEARS SINCE I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND THERE ARE STILL NOT PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPLACE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG. I AM EXPECTING ANOTHER CHILD AND WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BUT A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHY IS TOYOTA NOTHE BEING REQUIRED TO REPLACE THESE AIRBAGS MORE QUICKL?
