TAKATA RECALL I BROUGHT OUR 2007 COROLLA INTO PAULY TOYOTA IN CRYSTAL LAKE ILLINOIS ON APRIL 25, 2016 BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE RECALL. IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING IT, THEIR MECHANIC BROKE A PART AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A NEW REPLACEMENT PART. IT IS NOW SEPT. 29, 2016 AND THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART YET. THE NEXT ESTIMATED DATE THE DEALERSHIP MAY RECEIVE THE PART IS THE END OF OCTOBER. AS OF NOW MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THEIR PARKING LOT FOR 5 MONTHS. OBVIOUSLY THE END OF OCT WILL BE 6 MONTHS. THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER TELLS ME I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON OR WHEN I MAY GET MY CAR BACK. I FEEL TOYOTA IS NOT BEING UPFRONT WITH INFORMATION AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW MORE THAN THE INDIVIDUAL DEALERSHIPS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS INFORMATION FOR ME. THANK YOU! *TR

TAKATA RECALL: TOYOTA IS FREQUENTLY MAILING ME REMINDERS AND MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS ADVISING ME TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER TO REPAIR A DEFECT THAT COULD SPRAY BITS OF METAL AROUND THE CABIN. I AM ON THE "LIST" AT MY DEALER AND THEY TELL ME IT COULD BE TWO MONTHS OR LONGER BEFORE THEY GET THE PARTS. WHEN I CALLED THE TOYOTA RECALL PEOPLE TODAY THEY SAID AT ANOTHER DEALER THE ESTIMATED WAIT FOR PARTS WAS 14 WEEKS. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? I AM SURE THAT ALL OF THESE NOTICES ARE MERELY TO MEET SOME REQUIREMENT THAT THE NHTSA HAS PLACED ON THEM. WHY DON'T WE JUST FIX THE CAR!

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE AIR BAGS IN 2015, AT THAT TIME I CALLED 1-888-312-5995 AND I WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. PERFORMANCE TOYOTA IN FAIRFIELD, OHIO WAS CONTACTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS ON ORDER AND THEY WOULD CONTACT ME ONCE THE PART CAME IN TO SET UP THE APPOINTMENT. I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP IN THE SPRING 2015, I WAS ADVISED THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND IT COULD TAKE 30-60 DAYS. I JUST CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND I'M NOW BEING TOLD THERE IS A 12 WEEK/3 MONTH DELAY ON FILLING BACK ORDERS AND THAT ORDERS ARE BEING FILLED BASED ON THE VIN NUMBERS. I'M NOW BEING TOLD THAT THEY WILL CALL ME IN OCTOBER WHEN THE PART COMES IN. WHEN I CALLED THE TOYOTA REPAIR & RESOLUTION HOT LINE I WAS ADVISED TO GO TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA. WHEN I TOLD THE AGENT THAT ALL OF THE DEALERSHIPS ARE RECEIVING THEIR REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM THE SAME FACILITY, I'LL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AT THE OTHER DEALERSHIP. I ADVISED HER THAT TOYOTA CAN'T MEET THE DEMAND, DOESN'T HAVE THE PARTS IN PLACE AND CONTINUES TO PUT CUSTOMERS OFF TO RESOLVE THE RECALL NOTICE. I WAS THEN ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE SHE COULD HELP ME WITH TODAY. *TR
