Failure Date: 10/25/2018

On 10/25/18 I was involved in a head on collision when my gas pedal hung and lurched forward while I was pulling into a parking space at a doctor's office. I had slowed down to park when my car jumped the curb and hit the building head on. It was 3:50 in the afternoon and a clear visibility day. The police report has my speed at about 20 mph. My airbag didn't deploy, I did have my seatbelt on. It was straight front end damage to my car. As a result of the impact I am suffering from whiplash and possible (traumatic brain injury), also neck and back pain. I believe that the cause of this accident was the gas pedal �sticking� and as a result of no airbag deployment causing more motion on my head, neck, and back.

56 Air Bag problem of the 2004 Toyota Avalon

Failure Date: 12/06/2016

Nhtsa recall 15v-043 (1-27-15). On 7/16 I received an urgent safety recall notice via mail. Russel Toyota 410-788-8400 said they would call when the part comes in. On 12/6/16 I call mr. Allen, service manager who said the part was on back order and they would call me in 2-3 months. One question: why is Toyota allowed to make me drive my car with this unsafe condition for more than 2 years before they think about obtaining the parts necessary to complete the repairs?.

57 Air Bag problem of the 2004 Toyota Avalon

Failure Date: 08/22/2016

I tried twice to get a safety recall fixed by koons Toyota tysons corner after receiving a notice from Toyota that there was a safety recall on my Toyota Avalon (recall 15v-043). Twice the dealer told me they would have to inspect the car to see if it needed a remedy to the recall and only after an inspection would they order parts. I brought it in the first time, they said it did need the recall and they would order the parts. They never did. When I tried to schedule it again, they told me the same story that I had to bring it in for an inspection and then they would decide if they could order the parts. It is ridiculous to go through such terrible customer service, and so therefore the recall has not been remedied yet.

58 Air Bag problem of the 2016 Toyota Avalon

Failure Date: 05/04/2016

Takata recall. I purchased my new car on may 4th, 2016. The recall was issued April 13th, 2016, before I made the purchase. The dealership sold me this without notifying me of this. The sales manager said I should have received the letter of the recall but I hadn't even bought the car then. I read it is a federal law against selling a new vehicle with an active recall. The manager said this law doesn't pertain to to this sale but only to "stop sales" issues. I never would have bought this new car knowing a recall was issued, pending, or fixed.

I want my vehicle repaired so I can safely use it. Why are the parts not available??? this is unacceptable. When these notices are sent out why do we have to get the runaround about the parts?.
