2008 Toyota Corolla Air Bags

I FOUND AIRBAG RECALL NUMBER 16V340

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL - IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT I AM UNABLE TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY CAR BECAUSE OF A RISK OF DEATH AND THERE IS NO DATE EVEN TO REPAIR. THIS IS A PRIORITY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I CANNOT HAVE THIS FIXED NOW. UNBELIEVABLE!

I WENT TO MELODY TOYOTA IN SAN BRUNO, CA (SUMMER 2016) TO HAVE AIRBAG RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART AND THEY WOULD CALL ME FOR AN APPOINTMENT WHEN IT CAME IN. AFTER A MONTH WITH NO WORD FROM THEM I STOPPED BY AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME I DIDN'T NEED TO STOP BY BECAUSE THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PART CAME IN. THAT WAS OVER A YEAR AGO AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T CALLED! I GOT A REMINDER ABOUT THE RECALL SUMMER 2017 AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT ONE TOYOTA OF OAKLAND FOR 10AM 7/18/17. THEY TOLD ME CAR WOULD BE READY BY 2:30. WHEN 4:00 CAME AND I HAD NO WORD I ASKED. AT AROUND 4:30 I WAS TOLD THEY HADN'T STARTED YET AND THEY ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT FOR ANOTHER DAY. I WALKED OUT TOTALLY DISGUSTED. OBVIOUSLY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS HAVE PUT THIS AIRBAG RECALL AT THE BOTTOM OF THEIR PRIORITY LIST. I WILL TRY FINDING A THIRD DEALERSHIP TODAY AND HOPE TO BE DONE WITH THIS SOON.

PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN MARCH 2016 ABOUT THE RECALL. THE NOTICE DESCRIBED THE ISSUE WITH THE INFLATOR. I WAS ASKED TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE NOTICE SAID IT WAS URGENT . IT SPECIFIED THAT I SHOULD STOP USING THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT EVEN SAID THAT IF I FELT UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR, THEY WOULD PICK UP THE CAR FOR ME. I SENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER THE VERY NEXT DAY. THEY CHECKED AND VERIFIED MY CAR IS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL, BUT THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE PART WOULD ARRIVE. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 11 MONTHS SINCE THE NOTICE WAS SENT. THE PEOPLE AT THE DEALER DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL ARRIVE. IT IS UNREALISTIC THAT OWNERS ARE EXPECTED TO NOT BE ABLE TO FULLY USE THEIR VEHICLES WITHOUT RECEIVING SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION. I AM NOT EVEN SURE IF IT WOULD BE ETHICAL FOR ME TO SELL THE CAR UNDER THIS CONDITIONS. *TR

TWO DEALERS HAD BEEN UNABLE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WITHINTHE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. TWO DEALERS COULD NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE TWO DEALERS STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL THE CONTACT BACK, BUT A CALL WAS NOT RECEIVED. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

OCTOBER 9, 2017 I WAS REAR-ENDED, HIT AT 35 MPH. THIS HIT I WAS SITTING. I WAS SIDE SWIPED AT 40- 45 MPH, MOVING AT THIS TIME. I WAS AGAIN REAR-ENDED AT 50- 55 MPH, STOPPED. AND THEN I WAS BACKED INTO, IN THE FRONT END OF MY CAR AT 20-25 MPH. HOW COME NO AIRBAGS GO OFF?

I HAVE VISITED AND CALLED KENDALL TOYOTA IN MIAMI FIVE TIMES (TODAY INCLUDED) TO CHANGE THE AIRBAGS IN MY MATRIX AND THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS THE SAME: WE DON'T HAVE THEM, THEY ARE IN BACK ORDER. WHAT ARE WE TOYOTA OWNERS OF RECALLED AIRBAGS CAUSING DEATHS SUPPOSED TO DO?

WE RECEIVED A RECALL REGARDING THE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE ON MARCH 2, 2016. AS OF TODAY, TOYOTA STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS READY FOR ME. TWO MONTHS AGO, THEY SAID THE PARTS WOULD BE READY BY NOW, AND JUST TODAY WHEN I CALLED THEM, THEY SAID THAT THE PARTS WILL NOT BE READY UNTIL ANOTHER TWO MONTHS. HAVING A MALFUNCTION AIRBAG IS A REALLY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT CAUSES ME TO BE ANXIOUS EVERYDAY WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA HAS BEEN IRRESPONSIBLE ON THEIR END AND THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU REGARDING THE RESOLUTION.

TAKATA RECALL THE FACT THAT YOU ARE LOSING THE USE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME IS MORE THAN INCONVENIENT. I HAVE BEEN A COROLLA OWNER SINCE 1982. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION CORRECTED.

"TAKATA RECALL", AIRBAGS FAILED TO INFLATE. CAR WAS IN MOTION AND HIT A DEER ON HIGHWAY AND CAR IS NOW DEEMED TOTALED BY INSURANCE COMPANY ADJUSTER. RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO AND SUPPOSEDLY TAKEN CARE OF. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE IN VEHICLE WAS INSURED. I WONDER IF THERE WAS SOME FAULTY INSTILLATION OR THE AIRBAGS WERE EVEN REPLACED? THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE LOCATION TODAY IN ST. LOUIS, MO.

TAKATA RECALL THE NEWS REPORTED THE DEATH OF A WOMAN DRIVING A CAR WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT TOYOTA NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THIS DEFECT AND ALLOWING US TO DRIVE THESE DEATH MACHINES. I CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE ANY ONE IN MY PASSENGER SEAT, THIS LATEST DEATH WAS THE DRIVER. *TR
