2012 Toyota Sienna Air Bags

BROUGHT CAR IN FOR AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. WAS TOLD IT WAS COMPLETED. AFTER THIS RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL MAILING FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. CALLED THE TOYOTA RECALL RESOLUTION TEAM NUMBER TO VERIFY. WAS TOLD THAT A TEMPORARY AIRBAG WAS INSTALLED AND THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE GOOD ONE REINSTALLED WHEN THEY GOT THEM IN. SHE CALLED THE DEALER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT THEN TOLD ME THAT IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF AND A NEW AIRBAG WAS NOT NEEDED. AND STATED THAT SHE WAS CONFUSED. AND THAT I NEEDED TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET A WRITTEN STATEMENT THAT THE WORK WAS DONE. I NOTICED AND EXPLAINED THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A SUBSTITUTE WAS MADE AND THE RECEIPT SAYS : 'BAG 0.8. 2007-2009 YARIS HATCHBACK 2007-2009 YARIS SEDAN'. SO IT LOOKS LIKE A TEMPORARY SUBSTITUTE WAS MADE AND THAT I WAS NOT INFORMED. I SAID THAT IF THEY GIVE WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION THAT THE REPAIR WAS MADE IT MAKES IT LEGALLY THEIR RESPONSIBILITY BUT THIS WOULD BE AFTER THE FACT IF A PROBLEM OR FATALITY WOULD OCCUR AND NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE OF ASSURING THAT A PROPER AIRBAG HAD BEEN INSTALLED. CAN YOU GIVE CLARIFICATION AND SUGGESTED FOLLOW UP (POSSIBLY THIRD PARTY) TO GUARANTEE SAFETY?

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON CHECK SYSTEM. PER THE DEALER. SPIRAL CABLE ISSUE WITH TOYOTA SIENNA 2012 AND PER THE DEALER THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND HALF SINCE TOYOTA INFORMED ME THAT I SHOULDN'T ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY VAN. YOU CAN IMAGINE THE INCONVENIENCE THIS HAS CAUSED!!! NOW THEY SAY THERE IS A SOLUTION BUT THE TOYOTA DEALERS CLAIM THEY DON'T HAVE THE AIR BAGS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM. MY FAMILY IS NOT SAFE IN MY VEHICLE. HOW LONG SHOULD I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEIR INCOMPETENCE AND DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY?

THE RECALL NOTIFICATION INDICATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE PROVIDED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED.

NOTHING HAPPENED YET, BUT THE TOYOTA NOTICE SAYS NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE AS I TRANSPORT PEOPLE IN MY VAN. BUT, I AM SCARED THAT SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN. THEY ARE TAKING TOO LONG TO GET THIS LOOKED AT. THEY SAY THAT NOTHING MAY BE WRONG.

TAKATA RECALL - I TRIED TAKING MY VAN INTO TOYOTA TODAY BUT WAS INFORMED THE FIX FOR THIS RECALL ISN'T AVAILABLE YET. I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SAYS IT WILL BE READY AROUND SEPTEMBER 2017. HOWEVER, THE RECALL SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT I SHOULD NOT LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL IT IS FIXED. PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO UTILIZE MY PASSENGER SEAT FOR SIX MONTHS??? THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE OCCUPANTS OF MY VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED IN A MUCH MORE TIMELY MANNER.

TAKATA RECALL. OUR MINIVAN IS RECALLED. BOLD LETTERS INDICATE WE "DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". TOYOTA HAS NO KNOWN REMEDY DATE. WE NEED A MINIVAN TO ACCOMMODATE OUR LARGE FAMILY AND CAR SEATS. TOYOTA WILL ONLY OFFER US A TOYOTA COROLLA WHILE WE WAIT INDEFINITELY FOR OUR AIRBAG TO BE FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE SPENT HOURS TALKING WITH TOYOTA. WE PURCHASED A MINIVAN BECAUSE WE NEED A MINIVAN. NOW BECAUSE OF THE TAKATA RECALL, THEY REFUSE TO PUT US IN A MINIVAN RENTAL. HOW CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE ALLOWED? OUR MINIVAN IS BASICALLY USELESS TO US FOR A PERIOD THAT COULD BE YEARS! I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN FOR GUIDANCE, AS OUR CONCERNS FALL ON DEAF EARS AT TOYOTA. VERY FRUSTRATING!
