TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. IT MAY SPRAY METAL DEBRIS TOWARD VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY

DRIVER WAS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE WAS GOING 25-30 MPH AND HIT A LARGER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY FOR THE DRIVER. NO PASSENGER IN CAR. DRIVER WAS PROVIDED EMERGENCY MEDIAL ATTENTION AT THE SCENE.

TAKATA RECALL THIS RECALL CAME OUT IN MAY, AND I CANNOT EVEN HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT, AS THERE IS A RISK IF THERE IS A FRONT IMPACT THAT METAL SHARDS WILL GO INTO THE OCCUPANTS FACE FROM THE AIRBAG.

I HAD A VERY BAD ACCIDENT ON 8-11-2016 MY CAR IS TOTAL LOSS. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT AND THE CHARGING PORT IS USED, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEACTIVATES. EVEN THOUGH THE SEAT BELT IS FASTENED AND THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED, THE FASTEN SEAT BELT LIGHT COMES ON, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SHOWS OFF, AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I PLUGGED IN A CHARGER FOR A CELL PHONE IN ORDER TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ADVISER SAW THE LIGHTS COME ON. THE SERVICE ADVISER CONTACTED TOYOTA ASSISTANCE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAVE NO CURRENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DEACTIVATES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON THE VEHICLE. THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 20 COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE, YET THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE ONLY SOLUTION GIVEN AT THIS POINT IS TO NOT USE THE CHARGING PORTS WHILE THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY CAR ON THE 4TH OF NOVEMBER 2015, FIRST EVERYTHING WAS FINE; BUT NOW WHEN I DRIVE, AT THE MOST RANDOM TIMES THE ALARM FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG GOES OFF (WHILE NO ONE IS SITTING THERE) AND ALSO IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE, IT WILL READ "AIRBAG OFF".
