SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING BELOW THE 30MPH SPEED LIMIT ALONG A CITY STREET AND HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE FROM REAR RIGHT OF THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET AND SAW THAT THE BACK RIGHT REAR CORNER OF THE CAR WAS DOWN CLOSE TO THE WHEEL. THE EXHAUST PIPE WAS IN ITS USUAL PLACE. I CALLED A TOWING COMPANY AND THEY FLATBEDDED ME TO TOYOTA IN SANTA FE, NM AT 5PM ON A SATURDAY EVENING. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT TOYOTA THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER HANDED ME THE LARGE SPRING WHICH HAD FALLEN OFF THE CAR. TOYOTA REPLACED THE MISSING UPPER INSULATION DISC AND PUT THE REAR RIGHT SPRING BACK IN PLACE AND I DROVE 5 HOURS HOME. THE INSULATION DISC COULD HAVE FALLEN OUT ONTO THE STREET AND I DID NOT KNOW TO LOOK FOR IT. THE REAR SPRINGS CAN EASILY BE LEVERED OUT OF PLACE WITH A SCREWDRIVER SO MY CAR MECHANIC ATTACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE SPRING TO THE CRADLE IT SITS ON AND WELDED A GUARD TO THE CRADLE SO THAT THE SPRINGS CANNOT JUMP OUT. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE DRIVING SLOWLY ON A CITY STREET INSTEAD FAST ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE FILED A REPORT WITH TOYOTA SO THEY CAN FIX THIS, IN MY OPINION, DESIGN FLAW. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STAYS ON AND I RECEIVED A INTERIM RECALL NOTICE IN MAIL FOR SPIRAL CABLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION AND THEY SAID CLOCK SPRING IS CAUSING THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO STAY ON. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. BOTH THE CLOCK SPRING AND THE SPIRAL CABLE ARE BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. NOW THEY WANT $500.00 TO FIX. I BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP IS AVOIDING TO FIX THE RECALL REPLACEMENT. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEATS
IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE SPRINGS USED FOR THE SEAT RAILS ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE SEAT RAILS OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THREE-DOOR MODELS MAY BREAK. CONSEQUENCES: IF THE SPRING BREAKS, THE SEAT MAY NOT LOCK IN POSITION. IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE SEAT COULD MOVE INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT. REMEDY: TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SEAT RAIL, AND REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE, IF NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED A NOTIFICATION SCHED TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 YARIS, 2008-2010 HIGHLANDER, AND 2009-2010 TACOMA, COROLLA, COROLLA MATRIX AND GENERAL MOTORS PONTIAC VIBE VEHICLES. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY CONTAINS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE HOUSED IN A SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, WHICH INCLUDES A FLEXIBLE FLAT CABLE (FFC). DUE TO THE SHAPE AND LOCATION OF THE FFC'S RETAINER, THE FFC COULD BECOME DAMAGED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. CONSEQUENCES: IF THE FFC IS DAMAGED, CONNECTIVITY TO THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE COULD BE LOST AND THE AIR BAG DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT TYPICALLY NECESSITATES DEPLOYMENT INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER. REMEDY: TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY THE TOYOTA VEHICLE OWNERS, AND GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOTIFY THE PONTIAC VIBE OWNERS. TOYOTA SENT OWNERS AN INTERIM NOTIFICATION LETTER IN MAY 2014 TO ADVISE OWNERS OF THE RECALL. TOYOTA WILL MAIL OWNERS A SECOND LETTER WHEN REMEDY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT YET PROVIDED A NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THE PONTIAC VIBE OWNERS. WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND ALMOST EVERY UNPAINTED SURFACE IN THE CAR HAS RUST ON IT. THE MOLD SMELL IS TERRIBLE. THIS IS A VERY BAD SITUATION.
