Greeting, on June 7,2025 my Toyota Corolla was repaired at interstate Toyota for the replacement on the airbag. I have attached documents that share the job was completed successfully. Please review and forward and email that it is verified in your system to my email address. Pattersonbe1@gmail. Com warmly, beverly patterson.

I was driving as usual and suddenly the air bags exploded inside the dash causing damage to the passenger window and the front crystal. Seconds after the drivers airbag also opened and consequently the alarms. I did not impact anything and the car won’t start again.

I received a recall notice, scheduled an appointment and then went to bev smith Toyota in fort pierce, FL. My appointment was for 9:30 am. I decided that as long as I was there, I would get my oil changed (normally I do not use dealer oil changes because they are expensive, but since I was there anyway. . . ). At 11:10, I was presented the bill for the oil change and told that they refused to service the airbag. There was some garbage on the floor of the passenger side that the service manager claimed rendered my vehicle unsafe to work on. I pointed out that no one asked me to clean out the front seat when I scheduled the appointment, that the items were there at 9:30 when received the car, and that the car apparently was safe enough for them to perform an overpriced oil change. I offered to remove the items (it later took me all of 3 minutes to clear the area). The service manager refused and refused to complete the recall work. He still demanded payment for the oil change and was unwilling to compensate me for my wasted time.

The airbag light came on suddenly, even though I had the airbag recall work done for my vehicle. I took it to a Toyota dealership who wanted to charge me for the repair which I was willing to and perhaps work with Toyota directly to get reimbursed for but the parts weren't available.

I received a recall letter from Toyota for my airbags. Recall id nhat-fzj. I contact them to schedule a repair and they tell me since there's another recall for my vehicle they can't help me further.

Takata recall I have submitted papers of numerous accidents and also engine and transmission failures my vehicle has given me. When I first obtained it, it had no struts nor do my air bags deploy when I get into vehicular accidents. I am unable to go to a dealership and get my vehicle checked but because it's non operating at the moment. I do however have open availability for a car inspection at my home if you guys were to send someone to come take a look at it.

Took vehicle to dealer in miami for srs recall, light came on about 6 month earlier, advisor told me they replace srs control unit, but light still on and airbag are not operational, I was told probably a spiral cable needs to be replace at my expense and that is not covered. I see a lot of this same problem happening on Corollas spiral cable failure. Toyota is not addressing this issue which makes srs system inoperative then what is the point of all the srs recall. This issues needs to be address.

Takata recall--I have tried repeatedly to schedule an appointment with a Toyota dealership to have my airbag replaced. I can never get an answer. I have replied several times to the Toyota safety recall resolution team at 1-888-312-5994. They also have not been able to get an answer and they've advised me to call the dealerships directly. The last attempts were made this morning and the resolution team suggested I just drive to the dealership to make my appointment since they will not answer the phone. Why is this so inconvenient? why can't Toyota dealerships answer phones to make appointments and make these changes? how can I get this repair done in a timely and convenient fashion?.

Takata recall I've been hit with this car several times in vehicle accidents and no air bags pop out at alll.

Takata recall all dealers I contacted have a "at least one month, likely two month" waiting list for this recall repair. Considering the notice states "until the remedy is performed, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat," the time frame seems excessive. They all noted it was due to a delay in receiving the parts.

Takata recall I'm not confident that Toyota is adequately solving the airbag issue as I've received multiple recalls for the same or similar issues. During the initial recall I discussed with Toyota that they should replace the airbags if there is any concern over quality. They did not do that and stated that after inspection I was not affected. Since then I've received more recalls for the same issue. I'm concerned about my safety and the resale value of my car, both of which Toyota has put at serious risk. I do not believe they are taking this issue seriously nor attempting to solve it in a timely and proper manner.
