UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I OWN A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THIS WEEK I NOTICED THAT MY AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. WHEN I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT DEBRIS GOT INTO THE CONDENSER AND DAMAGED IT, REQUIRING A REPAIR. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AC002-06 "LOWER GRILLE MESH PROTECTION COVER," WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FAILURE TO INCLUDE A PROTECTION COVER NEAR THE MESH GRILLE HAS CAUSED DEBRIS TO GET INTO THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER, AND THEREBY DAMAGING IT. TOYOTA HAS INCLUDED THE GRILLE PROTECTION COVER IN SUBSEQUENT TOYOTA COROLLA MODELS, BUT IT REFUSES TO ADD THE COVER TO THE OLDER MODELS OR REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THE EXPENSE IN REPLACING DAMAGED CONDENSERS THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS DESIGN DEFECT. TOYOTA ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AC002-06 "LOWER GRILLE MESH PROTECTION COVER

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS INFORMED BY TOYOTA ON 8/10/15 ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE RECALL FIXED ON MY CAR UNTIL 4/11/16 DUE TO THE "UNAVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS." I HAD TO USE THE CAR FOR 8 MONTHS WITHOUT LETTING ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT! I WAS NOT ABLE TO CAR POOL TO WORK AND THIS REALLY PUT A DAMPER ON MY ABILITY TO REASONABLY TRANSPORT MY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS. THE TIME IT TOOK TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!

TAKATA INFLATOR: RECEIVED LETTER RECOMMENDING URGENT SAFETY RECALL. PARTS WERE SUPPOSEDLY ORDERED 3/21/16. AS OF TODAY, 4/8/16, PARTS ARE "BACKORDER" WITH NO TIMEFRAME. SPOKE TO "JENNIFER" AT TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I FREQUENTLY HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR, AS I TAKE FRIENDS TO DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS. PLEASE ADVISE....BY THE WAY, THE LETTER STATES THAT TOYOTA HAS THE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR MY GEOGRAPHIC REGION. SO WHY ARE THE PARTS NOT AVAILABLE? I CALLED AS SOON AS I RECEIVED THE LETTER.

TAKATA RECALL. WE GOT A NOTICE AFTER I WAS TOLD IN 2014 THE COROLLA WE HAVE WAS NOT IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGHT I GAVE THE VIN? SINCE THE NOTICE OVER NINE MONTHS AGO WE HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM TOYOTA TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED. MY CO-WORKED HAS HAD HER CAR (COROLLA) REPAIRED? TOYOTA HAS TOLD US TO NOT RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSANGER SEAT UNTIL THIS IS REPAIRED YET CANNOT TELL US WHEN THS IS TO HAPPEN? I AM AVETERAN AND DO NOT LIKE DRIVING A GRENADE EACH TIME I AM ON THE ROAD!

TAKATA RECALL AFTER I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA IT SAID REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER FOLLOWUP LETTER WHEN AVAILABLE. I NEVER RECEIVED ONE. I CALLED THE DEALER ON 11-5-15 TO FOLLOW UP AND THEY SAID NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE YET.. I CALL 4-4-16 AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS AVAILABLE AND TO GET IT FIXED MY OPTIONS WERE LEAVE THE CARE FOR 4-6 HOURS AND RENT A CAR OR HAVE A POSSIBILITY OF WAITING FOR THEIR SHUTTLE THAT HAS A 10 MILE LIMIT. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL OR MISS WORK TO HAVE THIS REPAIR DONE. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA CORPORATE WHICH I DID. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT, YES, RETNTALS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SUPPLED AND THEY HAD ME TALK WITH A PERSON AT THE NEXT LEVEL TO HOPEFULLY WORK IT OUT. I WAS TOLD BY THIS LEVEL PERSON THAT THEY ONLY SUPPLIED RENTALS FOR PEOPLE WHO REQUESTED THEM PRIOR TO A REMEDY AND PARTS AVAILABLE. I CONFIRMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE PAID FOR A RENTAL FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT WON'T PAY FOR ONE FOR ONE DAY? THEY SAID THAT WAS CORRECT. . I CANNOT AFFORD A RENTAL CAR OR TAKING TIE OFF WORK TO GET THIS FIXED. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE?

TAKATA RECALL - TOYOTA LETTER RECEIVED (BLOOMINGTON INDIANA) STATING THEY COMPLETED PARTS PREP FOR MY GEOGRAPHICAL REGION AND TO CONTACT A DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT. I CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD TOYOTA HAD PLACED A 3 PER WEEK LIMIT AND THAT THE DEALER WOULD NEED TO ORDER AND EXPECT DELIVERY IN TWO WEEKS. THAT TO ME IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE LEGAL NONSENSE OF NOT HAVING A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IS ANNOYING SINCE THIS HAS BEEN DRAGGING OUT FOR A VERY LONG TIME. SURELY THERE ARE OTHER MANUFACTURERS THAT COULD MAKE REPLACEMENT. SEEMS TO ME NO ONE IS TAKING THIS WITH ANY SENSE OF URGENCY.
