TAKATA RECALL. I WAS ISSUED A RECALL THAT HAS YET TO BE REMEDIED THAT MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO MYSELF OR A PASSENGER IN MY CAR. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE IN A DANGEROUS VEHICLE THAT I DEPEND ON TO GET TO WORK EVERY DAY? I THINK IT IS EXTREMELY NECESSARY TO AT LEAST PROVIDE A TIMELINE FOR THE REMEDY, OR AT THE VERY LEAST ALLOW ALL OWNERS AT SERIOUS RISK TO USE RENTAL CARS AT NO COST FROM TOYOTA.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE NOW WHERE I TRY TO PASS SOMEONE ON INTERSTATE 79 NORTHBOUND FROM PITTSBURGH TO CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP PA AND PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND ONCE I GET TO SPEED THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR GOES TO 80 + PER HOUR BEFORE I CAN GET IT TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME THAT I COULD GET CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE FIRST TIME I ENDED UP PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO GET CAR TO STOP. TODAY SIMILAR SITUATION EXCEPT I WAS ABLE TO PUMP THE BRAKES VERY HARD UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO RESPOND AND SLOW DOWN BACK TO THE CORRECT SPEED. I WAS ASKED BY TOYOTA IF THE MATS ON THE FLOOR WERE OBSTRUCTING THE PEDAL, AND THIS WASN'T THE CASE IN EITHER INSTANCE. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE THEY WERE REFERRING BACK TO MY DEALER TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH WILL COST ME TO HAVE DONE. I HAD THIS IN FOR SERVICE THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED AD WAS TOLD THEY FOUND NOTHING AND THAT THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED TO CALL SO THEY COULD HOOK UP TO A COMPUTER AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. TODAY WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY WOULDN'T EVEN SCHEDULE MY CAR FOR SERVICE, GAVE ME CORPORATE TO CALL AND IF CORPORATE WANTED TO HAVE THE DEALER SERVICE THEY CAR THEY WOULD CALL THEM. I AM NOW WAITING ON THE DEALER TO CALL ME SO I CAN PAY TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT TO TELL ME WHAT THEY MAY FIND. I PLANNED ON GIVING THIS CAR TO MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FOR COLLEGE BUT I AM NOW CONCERNED WHAT SHE WILL ENCOUNTER AND WORRIED ABOUT HER SAFETY DRIVING IT.

I HAVE RECENTLY NOTICED SOME STRANGE CLUNKING, POPPING AND SQUEALING NOISES COMING FROM MY CAR. AFTER HAVING MY MECHANIC LOOK AT IT I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM REAR BOLT WAS BROKEN AND PART OF IT REMAINS BUT IS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL ARM. MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL WAS MOVING IN AND OUT APPROXIMATELY 2INCHES. IN MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND NO RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND FEEL IT IS A LARGE SAFETY ISSUE.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
I BRAKED TO AVOID HITTING AN ANIMAL WHICH EMERGED FROM THE DITCH. THE CAR FISHTAILED, LOST CONTROL AND FLIPPED ONCE LANDING ON IT'S TOP. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS DAMAGED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE CAR. I DID HIT MY HEAD AGAINST THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, BUT THE BLOW WAS NOT SEVERE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DID NOT WORK EITHER AND HAVE ONLY WORKED INTERMITTENTLY FOR QUITE SOME TIME. *TR
