THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR TAKATA FROM TOYOTA. THE RECALL NOTICE SAID THAT IF ANYONE SAT IN THE FRONT SEAT WITH ME AND THE AIRBAG INFLATED, THERE COULD BE SERIOUS PERSONAL BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED ON MARY 4 AND I RECEIVED NOTICE ON JUNE 9. TO THIS DATE, I HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN ANY NOTICE OF WHAT TOYOTA WILL DO TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED THEM, I WAS TOLD THE "ENGINEERS WERE WORKING ON A SOLUTION." IN THE MEANTIME, I AM PAYING MONTHLY PAYMENTS OF $240 AND AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING MY CAR. WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER, THEY HAVE TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT. MY COMPLAINT IS AGAINST TAKATA AND TOYOTA FOR KNOWING OF THIS PROBLEM AND NOT SOLVING IT. THEY MENTIONED THAT I COULD GET A RENTAL, BUT I HAVE NOWHERE TO PARK IT. I AM A 74 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO TURN. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND WHAT IS AN ESTIMATE OF WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AGAIN WITHOUT CONSTANT STRESS?

********TAKATA RECALL********* RECEIVED THE NOTICE OVER A YEAR AGO. STILL WAITING. I WAS TOLD BECAUSE IT IS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IT IS NOT A PRIORITY - BUT IT IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO BE TOLD THAT I SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THIS IS REMEDIED. THIS IS VERY INCONVENIENT. THEY OFFER NO HELP WITH A LOANER CAR OR HELP WITH PAYING FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE UNTIL THIS IS REMEDIED!

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED THE AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE IN MAY, 2016. MORE THAN A YEAR LATER, I'VE HEARD NOTHING FROM TOYOTA. IT'S 15 MONTHS OF NOT ALLOWING ANYONE TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. IT'S BEEN AN INCONVENIENCE FOR A LONG TIME.

WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MAY 2016 AND IT'S NOW OCTOBER 2016 AND WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REMEDY. I UNDERSTAND THE VEHICLES IN THE HOTTEST CLIMATE AREAS ARE BEING REPAIRED FIRST. WE LIVE IN TEXAS AND STILL HAVE NO REMEDY! MY DAUGHTER IS IN COLLEGE DRIVING AROUND WITH A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG! IF I COULD AFFORD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR, I WOULD BUT I CAN'T! SHE HAS NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SHE DOESN'T LET ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, HOWEVER I'M AFRAID IF SHE GETS IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG COULD STILL GO OFF. WHEN IS THIS REMEDY GOING TO BE AVAILABLE?? I PRAY NOTHING HAPPENS TO MY DAUGHTER IN THE MEANTIME!! *TR

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: OPENS NEW WINDOW TAKES AWAY FROM VIN LOOKUP SECTION> 16V340 RECALL DATE: MAY 23, 2016 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: G1P I FEEL THAT I AM NOT BEING KEPT UP TO DATE ON THE AIRBAG RECALL THAT HAS AFFECTED MY DAUGHTERS CAR. BESIDES BEING A TOTAL INCONVENIENCE THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I HAD GONE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW IN THE SUMMER OF 2016 AND FELT I GOT A GENERIC ANSWER TO THE RECALL PROBLEM WHERE THAT PARTS WOULDN'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE SPRING OF 2017 AT THE VERY LEAST. THAT IS NOT A GOOD ENOUGH ANSWER TO ME BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THEY GAVE ME THAT ANSWER TO CALM ME DOWN. I WOULD LIKE A REALISTIC DATE IN WHICH I CAN EXPECT THIS RECALL PART TO BE MADE AVAILABLE IN MY GEOGRAPHIC AREA WHICH WAS DEEMED A CRITICAL AREA OF REPLACING AIR BAGS. ALL I WANT IS INFORMATION AS TO THE EXPECTATIONS THAT I CAN HAVE TO ANTICIPATE A FIX TO THIS SITUATION. *TR

TAKATA RECALL - MY CAR WAS RECALLED FOR AIRBAG REPLACEMENT LAST MAY (2016) AND I WAS ADVISED NOT TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND OUT WHEN MY CAR WILL BE REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD, MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THE PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. IF THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, CAN I ASK WHAT IS BEING INSTALLED IN NEW MODELS. I BASICALLY HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN BE THE ONLY OCCUPANT WHEN THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN.

TAKATA RECALL.

MY HUSBAND WAS HIT HEAD ON BY A CAR SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY. HE WAS TRAVELING 50 TO 60 MPH WHEN THE CARS IN FRONT OF HIM SWERVED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE ONCOMING VEHICLE LEAVING HIM NO TIME TO REACT. HE HAD JUST STARTED BREAKING UPON IMPACT WHICH WAS FORCEFUL ENOUGH TO PUSH HIS CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE GUARD RAIL. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS DAMAGED, THE BUMPER COMPLETELY TORN OFF THE CAR, AND THE ENGINE FORCED BACK FROM THE FRAME OF THE CAR. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS WEARING HIS SEAT BELT, MY HUSBAND HIT HIS HEAD ON THE TOP OF THE CAR NEAR THE WINDSHIELD AND SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT WHIPLASH FROM THE IMPACT. WE CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED FROM AN IMPACT LIKE THIS. WE CHECKED AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS REGARDING AIRBAGS FOR THIS CAR. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF AND PROTECTED MY HUSBAND DURING THIS COLLISION.

TAKATA RECALL. ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR AFTER RECEIVING THE NOTICE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I DON' FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBEM. I NEED A SOLUTION.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW BUT IT SEEMS HAS BECOME WORSE. I ENCOUNTER DIFFICULTY STEERING AT HIGH SPEEDS. STEERING IS EXTREME SENSITIVE WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT CAUSES GREAT CHANGE IN THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CAR OVERREACTS TO SMALL STEERING INPUTS OR REQUIRED TOO MUCH EFFORT TO KEEP IN A LANE ON THE HIGHWAY. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE. I FIND THE CAR WANDERING AND CONSTANT CORRECTIONS ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT HIGHER SPEEDS (25+). MY DAUGHTER JUST STARTED DRIVING (SHE IS 16) AND IT IS WAY TOO SENSITIVE FOR HER. SHE FEELS THE SAME WAY AND MY WIFE THAT HAS DROVE THE CAR TOO. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A TSB-0140-10 ON NHTSA #10034944 ON STEERING FOR THE 2009-2010 BUT I FEEL MY CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUES. MAYBE MY CAR HAS THE PARTS FROM EARLIER MODELS (2009-2010). I HAVE CHECKED MY TIRES AIR PRESSURE AND ALSO TIRE WEAR. ALL IS NORMAL. PLEASE HELP. I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO HAVE THIS COROLLA BUT I FEEL AT IT'S CURRENT DETECTIVE STEERING IT IS NOT SAFE.

TAKATA RECALL - VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE BUT NO REMEDY HAS BEEN PROVIDED. I HAVE ONLY BEEN INSTRUCTED TO NOT HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT OF MY CAR.

NOT SURE WHY I WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT ALL OF THESE RECALLS. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE DEC. 2012

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO CONTINUED TURNING AFTER THE TURN WAS COMPLETE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING UP TO SPECIFICATIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

TAKATA RECALL THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WE FIRST RECEIVED THE RECALL BACK IN APRIL 2016 I ALSO OWEN A 2011 SUBARU AND THE TAKATA AIRBAG WAS REPLACED BACK IN JANUARY 2017 SO I CALLED TOYOTA BACK IN OCTOBER 2016 THEY HAD NO ANSWERS TO WHEN THEY WOULD START THE RECALL REPAIRS, I CHECK THE WEBSITE TODAY AND STILL NOTHING HERE IS WHAT IT SAID HTTPS://WWW.TOYOTA.COM/RECALL REMEDY TOYOTA IS CURRENTLY PREPARING THE REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION AND WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. THE REMEDY, WHEN AVAILABLE, WILL CONSIST OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG INFLATOR OR THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE MODEL. __________________________ IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR LOOKS LIKE TO ME THEY ARE NOT TRYING VERY HARD IF SUBARU CAN FIND A REPLACEMENT FOR THERE VEHICLES IN LESS THAN A YEAR

TAKATA RECALL: AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN RECENT CAR ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS SIDE SWIPED OFF THE HIGHWAY. PINKY FINGER ON RIGHT HAND WAS NEARLY CHOPPED OFF BY SHARP OBJECT COMING FROM AIRBAG. NEEDED 10 STITCHES TO SEW PINKY FINGER BACK TO RING FINGER IN THE ER.

ON JANUARY 7, 2016 WE BROUGHT OUR CAR TO THE WESTON, FLORIDA TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BECAUSE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE SERVICE WRITER SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE "CANISTER" AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY GAVE US A LONER-CAR AND SAID THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED IN TWO DAYS. LATER THAT WEEK, THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD US THE COMPUTER HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD BE "A WHILE" UNTIL THE PART ARRIVED. WE STILL HAVE THE "LOANER" AND THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE JANUARY 7TH. TODAY IS APRIL 27TH. SO FAR 110 DAYS. THE LOANER CAR IS VERY NICE (2015 TOYOTA COROLLA). MY WIFE LOVES THE BACK-UP CAMERA, BUT HER CAR STILL SITS AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR HAS 44,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED ONLY ONCE BEFORE. INTERESTINGLY, THE PREVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE CAR HAD TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER. THE CAR WOULD LOSE OVER 100 RPM AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THEN QUICKLY ACCELERATE BACK UP TO THE PRECEDING RPM. I THINK THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE FLASHED THE COMPUTER OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT MADE ME THINK (IN LAYMAN'S LANGUAGE) THAT HE "REBOOTED" THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THIS WEEK THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THEY EXPECT THE NEW COMPUTER TO ARRIVE BY MAY 15TH. I WROTE A LETTER TO SOUTHEAST TOYOTA AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVE CALLED TO LET ME KNOW THAT WE WERE NOT ALONE BUT THERE ARE OVER 50 CARS IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT NEED NEW COMPUTERS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE MOST POPULAR CAR IN THE WORLD SHOULD HAVE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OR SUPPLIERS TO REPLACE THE ONES THAT GO BAD...TO GET A COMPUTER FROM MANUFACTURING TO THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD TAKE FEWER THAN FIVE MONTHS. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AT A TURN, SEVERAL TIMES IN THE COLD AND CAUSING MY CAR TO SLIP. LUCKILY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT BUT WHEN I SLOWED AND TURNED, MY CAR WOULD TURN OFF AND RIGHT BACK ON. I COULD NOT GET A DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AT THE DEALER. BUT THEN I TOOK A TEST AND FOUND OUT I HAVE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. NOT SURE IF RELATED.

TAKATA RECALL - STILL WAITING FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, CAPITOL TOYOTA, SAN JOSE CA 95136, AND I AM ON A WAIT LIST FOR THE REPAIR. I WAS ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST IN DECEMBER 2015.

MY TOYOTA BURNS OIL TO MUCH, I NEED TO ADD OIL EVERY WEEK AND ALSO NOW IT GIVES ME A CODE OF MISFIRING LAST TIME I BOUGHT IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON ANF THEY CHARGED ME $2800 TO FIX IT. THEY SAID THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE CYLIDER HEAD. I THINK ITS ONLY 60-70K MILES THAT TIME. PLS HELP ME WITH THIS

TAKATA RECALL OUR CAR SRS LIGHTS ON , WHILE DIAGANOSED IN TOYOTA SERVICE CENTRE THEY FOUND FAULT AS 'AN OPEN IN RIGHT SIDE AIR BAG HARNESS' , FOR THIS THEY ASKED TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG HARNESS AT THE COST OF 1246. THERE IS NO ACCIDENT OR SMALL COLLITION TILL NOW. THEN HOW THIS AIR BAG PROBLEM WILL COME. MAY BE AIR BAG QUALITY IS NOT GOOD. ALSO FOR DIAGNOSED THEY BILLED $122. THIS IS TOO COSTLY. SINCE WE HAVE NOT TOUCHED ANYTHING IN THIS PART HOW THIS KIND OF AIR BAG ISSUE IS COMING. PLEASE HELP US ON THIS ISSUE. IS TOYOTA SERVICE CALLED US FOR FIX THIS AIR BAG ISSUE WITHOUT COST THEN IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

I DRIVE QUITE A BIT AND NORMALLY KNOW MY VEHICLES PRETTY GOOD. I HAVE RECENTLY OBTAINED THIS 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA S AND IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION OVERALL. I MADE A TRIP 2 DAYS AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A HESITATION BETWEEN 55-65 MPH. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 11AM IN THE MORNING AT 78F. DRIVING ON A FLAT WELL MAINTAINED BLACK TOP ROAD THE VEHICLE DOES IN FACT HAVE A CONSTANT HESITATION THAT DROPS APPROXIMATELY 1000-2000 RPMS WITH A NOTICEABLE FEEL IN THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY (3-4 SEC) AFTER THE HESITATION THE VEHICLE RECOVERS BACK TO THE ORIGINAL RPM. AS LONG AS STAYING IN THIS SPEED RANGE (55-65 MPH) THE VEHICLE HAS THE HESITATION REPEATEDLY. THE SECOND ISSUE THAT I HAVE NOTICED ON THE SAME VEHICLE IS THE ACTUAL DECELERATION WHEN REMOVING MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR. WHEN TRAVELING ON THE SAME ROAD AND TIME AS STATED ABOVE THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO REALLY COAST RIGHT ALONG OR SO IT SEEMS. WHEN SAYING THIS, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE ROLLS RIGHT ALONG AS IF I AM STILL PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR AT WHICH TIME I MUST APPLY THE BRAKE MORE SIGNIFICANTLY THAN LETTING IT JUST COAST. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS IS EFFECTING MY GAS MILEAGE, IS IT GOING TO CAUSE UNDUE STRAIN ON THE DRIVETRAIN, IS THIS GOING TO BE A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE THAT TOYOTA IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO IGNORE?

THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE HIT A STATIONARY VEHICLE ON ITS LEFT REAR, AT 25 PLUS MPH, WITH NO ADVANCE BRAKING. DRIVER EXPERIENCED FULL SUN BLINDNESS. NATURALLY THE QUARTER PANELS WERE DESTROYED, BUT THE DAMAGE INCLUDED THE SUSPENSION, WHEEL UNIVERSAL, CAR DOORS WERE PUSHED TOGETHER, AND THERE WAS EVEN A RUMBLE ON THE ROOF. CAR TOTALED. NO AIR BAGS EVER DEPLOYED. THIS SAID, THE DRIVER WAS UNSCATHED AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS STILL GOOD. THE ISSUE GIVEN THAT THE DOORS WERE PUSHED TOGETHER, THERE WAS A RUMPLE IN THE ROOF, BOTH TIRES WERE DEFLATED, AND THE UNIVERSAL AND AXELS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED (THIS WAS THE MINIMUM IDENTIFIED DAMAGE), THIS SEEMS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT.

I OWN A 2010 SIMILAR MODEL AND I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE AIRBAG WIRING HARNESS. IN AUGUST, I PURCHASED A 2011 TOYOTA CORROLLA. I WAS DRIVING IT HOME AND NOTICED THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. THE LAMP HAS STAYED CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED SINCE THE DATE I NOTICED IT. THIS MIMICS THE BEHAVIOUR INDICATED IN THE RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2010 MODEL.

I USE THE REAR DEFROST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY IN THE MORNING. NEVER USE THIS. YESTERDAY IN THE MORNING THE REAR GLASS IS CRASH. THE CAR IS OFFF IN THE PARKING. HAVE MELTED THE DEFROST INSIDE.

THIS CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A THREE CAR COLLISION. A VAN TURNED LEFT SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT SIGNALING. THE CAR BEHIND THE VAN SLAMMED ON BRAKES. THE NEXT CAR HIT THE FIRST CAR IN THE BACK. THE THIRD CAR (MY CAR) HIT THE SECOND CAR IN THE BACK AND PUSHED HIM INTO THE FIRST CAR. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND I WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE FRONT AIR BAGS AND ALL FOUR OF THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. WE BOTH HAD ON OUR SEAT BELTS BUT THEY DID NOT LOCK. I, SEATING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITH MY SEAT BELT ON, WAS PROPELLED INTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD HAS A CIRCULAR PATTERN OF CRACKS WHERE I HIT IT WITH MY FACE. LUCKILY, MY FACE WAS ONLY CUT AND SEVERELY BRUISED WITH NO BROKEN BONES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK. NEITHER THE SEAT BELT NOR THE AIR BAGS PREVENTED ME FROM HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. MY DAUGHTER'S SEAT BELT ALSO DID NOT LOCK BUT THE AIR BAG PREVENTED HER FROM BEING SEVERELY INJURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

TAKATA RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL. IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS, I DON'T BELIEVE THEY ARE BEING PUSHED HARD ENOUGH TO GET THIS DEFECT REPAIRED. TWO YEARS IS A VERY LONG TIME IN THE MANUFACTURING BUSINESS.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE OWNED A TOYOTA COROLLA 2011 FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW, & WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF BUYING THIS CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP I GET NOTICE FROM TOYOTA THAT MY CAR HAS THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. I HAVE CALLED CORPORATE TOYOTA ABOUT 5 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS AND STILL TO THIS DAY, THEY HAVE NO ANSWER FOR WHEN THEY CAN FIX THIS ISSUE, AND ALL OF THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS I HAVE GONE TO IN MY AREA (3 OF THEM) CANNOT HELP FIX MY VEHICLE AS WELL. I ASKED IF I COULD TAKE OFF MY PASSENGER AIRBAG UNTIL IT BECOMES FIXED AND THEY SAID "NO". SO NOW I LITERALLY AM DRIVING A DEATH TRAP. I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANYONE IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, BUT I HAVE A FAMILY, HOW THE HECK CAN I NOT HAVE SOMEONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TBH I DON'T KNOW IF THIS AIRBAG ISSUE FOR TOYOTA WILL EVER BE FIXED. ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS FIXED THE PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER, LIKE A YEAR OR SO. IT'S BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS AND STILL THEY CAN'T GIVE A FIX DATE. NICE JOB TOYOTA. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

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.

I STARTED TO HEAR A LOUD ROARING/ROAD NOISE FROM FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH. SINCE MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT, I ASSUMED IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM AND NOT A FAILED BEARING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO COSTCO WHERE I RECENTLY PURCHASED TIRES. I INFORMED THE ADVISOR THERE THAT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ( I DID NOT SPECIFY A SIDE). HE THEN TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES AND SOUNDED LIKE A FAILED/FAILING BEARING. HE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2009-2013 TOYOTA COROLLA'S, SPECIFICALLY THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (ARLINGTON TOYOTA) WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BEARING HAD FAILED AND THE REPLACEMENT WOULD COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WHEEL BEARING AT NO COST TO ME. *TR

JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR AT FREMONT TOYOTA. THEN I NOTICED THE STEERING SEEMS TO WANDERS. I HAVE TO CORRECT IT ALL THE TIME. BUT I THOUGHT THIS IS NORMAL SINCE IT IS A COMPACT CAR OR IT COULD BE WINDY. BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT DOES OKAY. JUST TONIGHT, I NOTICED MY CAR STEERING WHEEL IS NOT STRAIGHT AND I'M AFRAID IT COULD BE A STEERING COMPUTER PROBLEM WHICH THE 2009 TO 2010 COROLLAS HAD. I ALSO HEARD A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE STEERING ON BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT, WHICH IS THE SAME PROBLEM THE 2009 TO 2010 HAD. HOW I WISH THEY WILL EXTEND THE TSB OR RECALL TO 2012 SINCE I HAVE READ SOME ARTICLES THAT EVEN THE 2012 COROLLA OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. TOMORROW I WILL TAKE THIS CAR TO THE DEALER AND SEE WHAT IS WRONG. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
