NHTSA ODI 10983843

LOSS OF FULL USE OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF LOSS OF FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO UNSAFE CONDITION RELATED TO TAKATA AIRBAG RISK AND TOYOTA BEING SLOW TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

NHTSA ODI 10983680

TAKATA RECALL, MY COMPLAINT HAS TO DO WITH HOW TOYOTA MANUFACUATER HAS NOT IN A TIMELY MANNER BEEN ABLE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS IN MY TOYOTA COROLLA. THE RECALL WAS WAS FIRST ANNOUNCED ON 23 MAY 2016, IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND I LIVE IN A HUMID CLIMATE WHERE THE VEHICLE IS LIKELY PUTTING ME AT A GREATER RISK OF FATALITY THAN NORMAL.

"TAKATA RECALL" CASE # 1607202446 I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE SINCE SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR THROUGH WOLFCHASE TOYOTA IN GERMANTOWN TN. EVEN THOUGH I LIVE IN SOUTHAVEN, MS. IT WILL SOON BE A YEAR THAT MY PERSONAL VEHICLE WILL BE SITTING WITH NO USAGE. THE DAMAGES TO MY VEHICLE'S GAS TANK, FUEL PUMP, BATTERY, PAINT, TIRES, FLUIDS, RUST, OIL, BRAKES, ROTORS, PLUGS, AND MAYBE MORE COULD OCCUR WHILE SITTING SO LONG. THERE ARE NO OTHER SOLUTION BEING GIVEN OTHER THAN A LOANER VEHICLE THAT HAS TO BE RENEWED EVERY 30 DAYS, ABOUT 45 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. HOWEVER, MY OTHER CONCERN IS THAT ONCE MY PERSONAL VEHICLE IS FIXED THE REPERCUSSIONS FROM IT SITTING FOR SO LONG WILL CAUSE FOR ME TO HAVE EVEN MORE SAFETY PROBLEMS THAT WILL NOT BE WARRANTIED. ONE SOLUTION THAT COULD BE OFFERED WOULD BE TO MAYBE FIRST PROVIDE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE PARTS THAT ARE BEING AFFECTED, BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGES CAUSED WHILE THE VEHICLES ARE SITTING. ANOTHER SOLUTION COULD BE TO PROVIDE A CERTIFIED INSPECTION ON EACH VEHICLE BEFORE BEING RELEASED BACK TO THE CUSTOMER. OR THE LAST SUGGESTION IS TO MAYBE PROVIDE THE CUSTOMER WITH A SET AMOUNT TO GO TOWARDS A NEW VEHICLE SO THEY WON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE STRESS OF THE LOANER. I FEAR THAT ONE SAFETY ISSUE WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF ONLY TO BE REPLACED BY MANY MORE. MY FAMILY IS VERY VALUABLE TO ME, AND I FINANCIALLY CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE OR TO EVEN REPLACE ALL THE PARTS THAT CAN BE DAMAGED TO MY VEHICLE FOR SITTING FOR SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS NOTIFIED ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. AS YET, THERE IS NO SOLUTION AND I AM ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE WITH PASSENGERS IN THE ONLY CAR I OWN. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS NOT A VIABLE SOLUTION. SHOULD ANY MISHAP OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG, YOU CAN BE ASSURED THAT I WILL EXHAUST EVERY RESOURCE I HAVE TO SUE NOT ONLY TAKATA, BUT NHTSA FOR NOT RESOLVING THIS LIFE OR DEATH SAFETY ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE DEALER OR TOYOTA HAS FAILED AND IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. THE FIRST NOTIFICATION WAS RECEIVED ON 2016 AND NO FURTHER INFORMATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED SINCE THAT TIME. THE WAITING PERIOD TO FIX THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE LETTER IS MORE THAN A YEAR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE PRIORITIZED AND I AM DEALING WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS ISSUE. THANKS!!

TAKATA RECALL . ITS ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I GOT A RECALL NOTICE. I CHECKED WITH MY NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY HAVE NOT COME UP WITH REMEDY. I AM ASKED NOT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH THIS RISK. I AM NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THIS SITUATION NOT BEING ABLE TO USE MY CAR WITH CONFIDENCE.

NHTSA ODI 10980500

TAKATA RECALL I FEEL THAT ONE YEAR IS ENTIRELY TOO LONG TO ASK PEOPLE TO SIMPLY "AVOID HAVING PEOPLE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT". PERHAPS IF MORE PEOPLE SPEAK UP, MANUFACTURERS WILL FEEL MORE INCLINED TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE PROMPTLY.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS NOTIFIED FEB. 2017 FOR THE 1ST TIME OF MY 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA BEING SUBJECT TO THE AIRBAG RECALL. TONIGHT I FOUND OUT THE RECALL BEGAN IN MAY 2016, ALMOST 1 YEAR AGO! I STILL HAVE NO FURTHER INFORMATION FROM TOYOTA ON A REPLACEMENT, AND IN THE MEANTIME, MY TEENAGERS HAVE CONTINUED TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE WE HAVE NO OTHER OPTION. I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNSATISFACTORY ON TOYOTA'S PART AND WANT ANSWERS AND REMEDIES FROM TOYOTA BEFORE SOMEONE RIDING IN MY CAR IS INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS LONG-TERM PROBLEM!

NHTSA ODI 10980034

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA STATING "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL (INTERIM NOTICE)" AND SAYING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR AND ADVISING ME NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS NOW WITH NO RESOLUTION. I CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER IN MEDFORD, OREGON, AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO REMEDY. ACCORDING TO ONLINE INFORMATION THIS RECALL WAS INITIATED MAY 23, 2016. THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE WAIT TIME. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL: RECALL FOR TAKATA AIRBAG IN MY CAR WAS IN MAY 2016 - IT IS NOW APRIL 21, 2017 - AND THERE IS STILL NO "SOLUTION" IT IS REALLY SCARY DRIVING AROUND KNOWING THAT THERE IS A BOMB IN MY GLOVEBOX, THAT WILL EXPLODE AND POSSIBLY KILL ME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY CAN'T JUST TAKE OUT THE AIRBAG UNTIL THERE IS A BETTER SOLUTION.

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO FIX THESE AIR BAGS BECAUSE MY SON DRIVES THIS CAR. NOT SURE WHY THERE IS HESITATION TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS. THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT BUT DON'T WANT TO WRITE A COMPLAINT AFTER ONE DOES.
