TAKATA RECALL: FORTUNATELY NOTHING SERIOUS HAS HAPPENED, OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATES I SHOULD NOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AS IT MIGHT END IN INJURY OR DEATH. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH SINCE I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE AND TOYOTA HAS YET TO OFFER A FIX FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT IN BOTH PERSONAL AND BUSINESS AS I USE MY CAR TO CARRY ENOUGH PASSENGERS TO REQUIRE AN INDIVIDUAL TO BE IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE ONLY RESPONSE I GET FROM TOYOTA IS THAT I NEED TO WAIT AND WORSE, THEY CANNOT GIVE ME ANY KIND OF DATE. THEY ARE PUTTING ME IN THE POSITION THAT I MAY NEED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THEN I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL MINE WITH A KNOWN RECALL THAT HAS NO STATUS ON WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. TOYOTA HAS PUT ME INTO A FINANCIAL BIND THAT MAY REQUIRE I TAKE A RISK WITH AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHICH IN TURN COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. IT'S AS IF THEY ARE OKAY WITH DEALING WITH A FEW DEATHS RATHER THAN SPENDING THE MONEY TO FIX THE ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION IN REGARDS TO THE TAKATA RECALL. ON THE NOTIFICATION IT SAYS THAT UNTIL A SOLUTION BECOMES AVAILABLE THAT I SHOULD NOT OPERATE MY VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE A FAMILY OF 5 AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR. I CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO NOT DRIVE OR RENT A CAR TO PROTECT MY FAMILY AND WANT THE ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES FROM HOME, ON MY WAY TO TAKE MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN OFF THE STREET FROM MY NEIGHBORHOOD, UNTO THE SERVICE ROAD THAT LEADS TO THE RAMP FOR THE HIGHWAY ENTRANCE. AS I HEADED TOWARDS THE RAMP THAT ENTERS UNTO THE HIGHWAY, THE 2008 TOYOTA YARIS FELT LIKE IT SUDDENLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE. DESPITE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKES, THE CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I SWERVED BACK UNTO THE SERVICE ROAD TO AVOID CONTINUING UNTO THE RAMP, IN FEAR THAT I WOULD CRASH INTO THE CARS ON THE HIGHWAY. TO AVOID HITTING ANY VEHICLES ON THE SERVICE ROAD, I MANAGED TO SWERVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ? WITH THE CAR FINALLY STOPPING WHEN IT CRASHED INTO A POLE. MY CHILDREN AND I SUFFERED SEAT BELT BRUISING AND CUTS. I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR A FEW DAYS FOR HAND, FOOT, AND BACK INJURIES, AND STILL UNDER DOCTOR'S CARE FOR THE INJURIES. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOST. I HAVE MY SERVICE RECEIPTS REFLECTING THAT I KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR. IN ADDITION, I HAD THE BRAKES SERVICED IN OCTOBER OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR...UPDATED 03/15/16 *BF.....UPDATED 03/31/16 *BF UPDATED 6/11/18*JB

SUSPENSION
I AM A RETIRED AUTOSHOP TEACHER {2 YEARS} AND AM ASE CERTIFIED IN, AMONG OTHERS, SUSPENSION AND STEERING. WHILE DRIVING MY YARIS, STARTED TO HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. SUDDENLY, A LOUD BANG WHILE SOMETHING BROKE OFF THE CAR AND HIT THE UNDERBODY. ON INSPECTION, DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM REARWARD BOLT, WHICH EXTENDS THROUGH A CENTER SUPPORT AND IS BOLTED TO THE VEHICLE BODY, HAD SNAPPED OFF ABOUT HALFWAY. I DROVE THE CAR HOME, ABOUT 3 MILES, BUT THE DRIVEABILITY OF THE VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED, THE STEERING BECAME VAGUE AND THE NOISE BECAME LOUDER AND LOUDER. THERE IS A TSB, NUMBER 005-11 ON THIS PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA FAILS TO ADMIT IN THIS OR EARLIER TSBS THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM, WHICH IN MY OPINION, IT CLEARLY IS. THIS IS NOT AN UNUSUAL PROBLEM, AS AN INTERNET SEARCH FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IN A RECALL!
