What 445 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Toyota Corolla Im

TAKATA RECALL: LOOKS LIKE NHTSA DETERMINED ON JAN 9, 2017 THAT MY CAR TOYOTA COROLLA WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS NOTIFIED ONLY IN MARCH, 2017 OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS NOT TIMELY NOTIFICATION. FURTHER, I NEED THE PASSENGER SEAT TO BE SAFE -- AND TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO PROVIDE A TIMEFRAME OR A LOANER VEHICLE DURING THE TIME THAT THIS CAR IS NOT FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. ALSO, LOOKING ONLINE, LOOKS LIKE TAKATA AIRBAGS HAVE HAD ISSUES FOR MULTIPLE YEARS AND NO EFFORT WAS UNDERTAKEN TO EVALUATE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE BEFORE JAN 2017 WHICH IN IT OF ITSELF IS VERY CONCERNING. I WANTED TO SELL MY CAR IN THIS MONTH AND REPLACE ANOTHER CAR, AND DUE TO THIS RECALL, I CAN NO LONGER SELL THE CAR DUE TO DROP IN VALUE. I'D LIKE THE MANUFACTURER TO REPAIR THE CAR WITHIN 1-2 WEEKS OR PURCHASE THE CAR BACK FROM ME. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO THE CAR OR NO ACCIDENT HAS HAPPENED.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG AND I SPOKE EDDIE, THE NIGHT SERVICE MANAGER AT MARINA DEL REY TOYOTA AND HE SAYS THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THERE IS NO PART NUMBER FOR THE REPLACEMENT. TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY. THE NOTICE SAYS THERE'S A RISK THAT "IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED ON JANUARY 9, 2017, IT'S ALMOST TWO MONTHS OLD AND I JUST RECEIVED THE NOTICE. ON TOP OF THAT IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY AFTER ALMOST 2 MONTHS. I WOULD LIKE A REPLACEMENT AND FIX OF THIS ISSUE ASAP. PLEASE HELP.

TAKATA RECALL. YESTERDAY, I RECEIVED THE NOTICE FROM TOYOTA REGARDING MY VEHICLE'S POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG. IT RECOMMENDS THAT UNTIL TOYOTA CAN REPLACE THE AIRBAG, THAT I SHOULD ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TOYOTA'S RECOMMENDATION IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND SHOULD NOT WAIVE ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO ITS CUSTOMERS. TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE SINCE AT LEAST 2015, SO IT IS UNCLEAR WHY THEY CANNOT AGGRESSIVELY REPLACE THEIR CUSTOMERS' AIRBAG IMMEDIATELY TWO YEARS LATER. TO SUGGEST I SHOULD NOT USE ONE OF THE SEATS IN MY VEHICLE, PARTICULARLY WITH A FAMILY OF FOUR, SEEMS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA, AND I HOPE THAT THE COMPANY WILL MAKE MORE OF AN EFFORT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS IN THE FUTURE.

TAKATA RECALL: WHILE WE APPRECIATE BEING CONTACTED ABOUT THE POTENTIALLY LETHAL SAFETY HAZARD FROM THE TAKATA AIR BAGS IN OUR TOYOTA, IT'S UNACCEPTABLE TO BE TOLD NOT TO HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL A FIX IS MADE AVAILABLE. THE DANGERS OF THE TAKAGA BAGS HAVE BEEN KNOWN FOR MANY MONTHS, IF NOT MORE THAN A YEAR. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO ARRANGE FOR A REPLACEMENT? NO TIME FRAME HAS BEEN PROVIDED AS TO HOW LONG WE MUST WAIT, WHILE WE CAN'T CARRY AROUND A FRONT PASSENGER. MY WIFE AND I COMMUTE TO WORK EVERYDAY. ONE OF US IS SUPPOSED TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT? WE HAVE CHILDREN WE MUST TAXI AROUND. SINCE MOST CARS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL, THEN SURELY THERE ARE OTHER, SAFE AIR BAGS AVAILABLE, WHICH TOYOTA COULD INSTALL IMMEDIATELY. WHEN A SAFETY RECALL OCCURS, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE YOUR CAR IN RIGHT AWAY AND GET IT FIXED, NOT WAIT SOME UNDETERMINED TIME DOWN THE ROAD. WHY ISN'T TOYOTA REQUIRED TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER RIGHT AWAY?

TAMARA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTICE TO NOT HAVE ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL IS COMPLETED. I EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR IS USELESS SINCE I CANNOT FIT ME MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS IN CAR SEATS INTO THE CAR WITHOUT USING THE FRONT SEAT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO NOT HAVE A REPAIR FOR A CAR AND BE TOLD NOT TO USE A CAR I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR WITH NO REMEDY FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

TAKATA RECALL. I WOULD JUST REALLY LIKE TO KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE TO WAIT TO HAVE THIS FIXED. IT'S TOTALLY UNREASONABLE TO DRIVE WITH NO PASSENGERS FOR A SUPER LONG TIME.

NHTSA ODI 10955396

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECEIVED AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" FOR MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2012 SAYING THAT THERE IS NO CURRENT REMEDY. INFORMATION ONLINE INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED JANUARY 9. THERE IS NO INDICATION OF THE TIMEFRAME OF A REMEDY, AND THERE'S NO OFFER TO DISCONNECT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE LETTER SUGGESTS THAT I NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL I HEAR FROM THEM. AN OFFER TO DISCONNECT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN THE INTERIM WOULD HAVE MADE MORE SENSE. I'LL BE PURSUING THAT WITH A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OFFERED CONSIDERING THE DANGER IS POSSIBLE "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH."

TAKATA RECALL I LIVE IN MISSISSIPPI (A VERY HUMID CLIMATE) AND PURCHASED THIS CAR IN FLORIDA (ANOTHER VERY HUMID CLIMATE), WHICH MAKES THE TAKATE RECALL ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THIS CAR IS OUR FAMILY'S PRIMARY CAR, AND WE CAN'T GO "UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE" WITHOUT SOMEONE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT. WE NEED IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY, OR FOR TOYOTA TO PAY FOR A SAFE RENTAL UNTIL THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM.
