TOYOTA IS RECALLING PASSENGER AIRBAGS DUE TO FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAG IN WHICH METAL FRAGMENTS MAY DEPLOY WITH THE AIR BAG. OUR VEHICLE IS ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES AND I RECEIVED NOTICE IN JUNE/JULY 2015 WITH A RECOMMENDATION NOT TO HAVE ANY PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IT IS NOW OCT. AND NO REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS HAVE YET BEEN MADE AVAILABLE. THIS IS OUR PRIMARY VEHICLE AND MONTHS HAVE PASSED WITHOUT RESOLUTION OF THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY AND MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM IN A SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE INVOLVING PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SHRAPNEL UPON ACTIVATION. TOYOTA RECOMMEND NO ONE RIDE IN PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL REPAIRED. AFTER MAKING NUMEROUS CALLS ABOUT FOLLOWUP, NO SOLUTION WAS FORTHCOMING. NO TIMELINE WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR (THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY)!!! THAT WAS ALMOST 4 MO. AGO AND STILL NO INFO. FROM TOYOTA. I CALLED TOYOTA AGAIN TODAY (10/6/2015) AND THE STORY WAS THE SAME EXCEPT A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE DID STATE THE AIR BAG COULD POSSIBLY ACTIVATE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT IMPACT. TOYOTA STATED IN THEIR RECALL THAT THE SHRAPNEL COULD CAUSE FATAL INJURIES TO OCCUPANTS!!!! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS BEING DONE TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS WHO OWN THESE POTENTIAL DEATH TRAPS????? THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR MONTHS BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE!!!! I DID READ THAT TOYOTA WAS OFFERING 35$ FOR RENTAL CAR SERVICES BUT NOTHING WAS SAID ABOUT THAT IN MY RECALL LETTER. AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAD SUED TOYOTA OVER THIS. BUT WHAT ABOUT US, THE OWNERS OF THESE POTENTIAL TIME BOMBS??? WHO'S HELPING US???????? THANK YOU *TR

DURING SERVICING, THE SEQUOIA WAS FOUND TO HAVE A RUSTED/ROTTEN FRAME AND DECLARED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. TOYOTA HAS HAD OTHER FRAME RUST REPLACEMENT RECALLS FOR THIS MODEL, BUT NOT FOR THE MODEL YEAR IN QUESTION. THEY HAVE HAD FRAME RECALLS FOR 2006 FOR SIMILAR MODELS (TACOMA). THIS SAFETY ISSUE WAS NOT FOUND BY THE DEALERSHIP PREVIOUSLY, ALTHOUGH THE DANGEROUS SITUATION WOULD HAVE EXISTED. TOYOTA DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE.

IN EARLY AUGUST I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG BEING UNSAFE IN OUR 2006 SEQUOIA. APPARENTLY THIS RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE JUNE 2015 SO I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT WE WEREN'T NOTIFIED UNTIL EARLY AUGUST. THE RECALL NOTICE RECOMMENDS THAT WE DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL TOYOTA HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, TOYOTA IS TAKING AN EXCESSIVELY LONG TIME TO PROVIDE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR. IT IS NOW AUGUST 31 AND THERE IS STILL NO DEFINITIVE DATE SET FOR REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. FURTHER, TOYOTA IS PROVIDING ONLY UP TO $35/DAY REIMBURSEMENT FOR A LOANER VEHICLE -- WHICH COVERS ONLY A THIRD TO HALF OF WHAT IT COSTS TO RENT A VEHICLE OF COMPARABLE SIZE TO OUR SEQUOIA. THIS IS UNFAIR AND A BIG INCONVENIENCE TO OUR FAMILY. I UNDERSTAND THAT PARTS AVAILABILITY CAN TAKE TIME - BUT AT LEAST PROVIDE US WITH A COMPARABLE REPLACEMENT CAR AT NO CHARGE.

I AM PART OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG RECALL FOR 2006 TOYOTA SEQUOIAS. AS A CONSUMER, I HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG FOR ALMOST 12 MONTHS AND I AM JUST NOW RECEIVING A LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT IT. ALL THE LETTER SAYS IS THAT TOYOTA IS TRYING TO FIND PARTS WITH NO FURTHER INFORMATION OR DATE WHEN THE AIRBAG WILL BE REPLACED. IN THE MEANTIME, TOYOTA ASKS ME NOT TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS NEGLIGENTLY STRETCHED THE RECALL NOTICE LONG PAST WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST DISCOVERED. TOYOTA STILL DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND THE RECALL LETTER SETS NO TIMETABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE REMEDY IS WOEFULLY INADEQUATE TO NOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I KNOW THE US GOVERNMENT HAS SUED OVER THIS AIRBAG ISSUE. WHEN DOES THE ACTUAL CONSUMER BENEFIT FROM A SUITABLE REMEDY?

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES
MULTIPLE INCIDENTS AND MULTIPLE TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP WITH NOTHING RESOLVED. ABS ACTIVATES WITH VSC LIGHTS AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN REVERSING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, DRIVING SLOWLY DOWN ROAD, ETC... NO REASON I CAN THINK OF FOR IT TO ENGAGE. VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD GRINDING SOUND AND FEELS LIKE IT WON'T STOP. VERY COMMON ISSUE FROM WHAT I SEE ALREADY REPORTED. YAW SENSOR REPLACED TO FIX ANOTHER VSC ISSUE WHEN MAKING LEFT U-TURNS...ALMOST GOT IN ACCIDENT WHEN THE BRAKES KEPT ME FROM COMPLETING A U-TURN WITH TRAFFIC COMING...LUCKILY I CONTINUED INTO DRIVEWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE ABOVE BUT THE ABOVE STILL CONTINUE TO THIS DAY SO IT WAS NOT THE CAUSE.
