AIR BAGS
I have been waiting over 2 years for this passenger side airbag recall to be remedied. I was told a remedy was available about a year and a half ago, but despite many calls and service appointments where I left the car with Toyota (they even kept my car for nearly 9 hours once), they always tell me they don't have the part available and that they will call me when it becomes available (they still haven't). I tried multiple Toyota service centers in my area with the same results. The airbag was already recalled previously and the remedy was to replace it with an airbag part that was also recalled, so in actuality it has probably been over 5 years since the original recall and after all this time my car still has an airbag inflator that may cause fire, injury or death. I paid for a car so I could use all of the available seating, and for most of my time owning it and for the foreseeable future I'm being told by Toyota not to use the front passenger seat. Totally unacceptable, regardless of parts shortage this shouldn't be a problem to bear solely by the vehicle owner, I have never been offered a loaner or anything to make up for the money I wasted on a car I can't use as advertised.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE PROBLEM IS NOT SPECIFIC TO THIS CAR. THE TIRE SPEED RATING SYSTEM IN USE TODAY IS LONG OVERDUE FOR UPGRADING. PROBLEM 1 IS THE CONFUSION THAT EXISTS BETWEEN Y AND (Y). ONLINE TIRE DEALERS OFTEN BLUR THE TWO CATEGORIES. PROBLEM 2 IS THE ACTUAL SPEED RATING OF (Y) -- IT IS UNKNOWN BUT HIGHER THAN 186. PROBLEM 3 IS THAT TIRES IN THE UPPER RANGES ARE NOT SEPARATED. IF YOU BUY TIRES FOR A 2004 FORD GT, THEY MUST BE GOOD FOR UP TO 215 MPH, BUT 270 MPH IS NOT NECESSARY. THERE ARE MANY TIRES THAT ARE GOOD FOR 215 BUT NOT 270 MPH. THE CURRENT SYSTEM DOES NOT TELL CONSUMERS WHICH TIRE IS SAFE! I PROPOSE A NEW METRIC-BASED SYSTEM. THE FOLLOWING SPEED RATINGS WOULD ASSIGNED TO EACH TIRE: SPEED RATING 15 (150 KM/H) 20 (200 KM/H) 25 (250 KM/H) 30 (300 KM/H) 35 (350 KM/H) 40 (400 KM/H) 45 (450 KM/H) 50 (500 KM/H)

I APPRECIATE THAT TOYOTA YOUNGER FIXED THE AIRBAG RECALL. I WOULD HAVE APPRECIATE IF THEY WOULD HAVE WIPED DOWN THE DASH BOARD AFTER INSTALLING. I ALSO NOTICED THE PANEL OVER THE AIRBAG HAS A BUCKLE/CREASE AND IT DOES NOT LOOK SECURE AROUND THE EDGES. I HAVE ATTACHED IMAGES . IT NEVER LOOKED LIKE BEFORE A DROPPED OFF MY CAR.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT LAST YEAR AND I WAS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND MY HUSBAND WAS ON THE DRIVERS SEAT ALONG WITH MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. WE WERE REAR ENDED BY HIGH SPEED VEHICLE DRIVING ERRATICALLY. ALL OF US SUFFERED WHIP LASH AND BACK INJURIES IN THE ACCIDENT. ALSO, THE AIRBAG NEVER GOT DEPLOYED AND THE AIR BAG SIGN IS ON THE DASH BOARD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION AND I AM UPSET FOR BUYING A BRAND NEW CAR WHICH I HOPED THAT ALL SAFETY EQUIPMENT WILL BE WORKING. I WAS SHOCKED AND HURT AT THE SAME TIME. AFTER THAT FEW MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER SHIP. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND THEY COULDN'T FIX THE AIR BAG SIGN COMING ON THE DASHBOARD AND THEY DIDN'T FIX THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. I AM REFERRING TO THIS SERIOUS ISSUE WITHOUT ANY OUTCOME. MY INJURED TO ME AND MY FAMILY IS NOT WORTH DRIVING DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. I NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN GET BACK TO ME AND PROVIDE SOLUTION. *TR
