general problems of the 2004 Toyota Corolla - part 1

I am attempting to complete a manufacturer-issued safety recall involving my vehicle’s airbag system, which includes a “do not drive” advisory due to the risk of airbag inflator failure. Despite multiple good-faith attempts, I have encountered repeated barriers at the dealership level that have prevented timely completion of the repair. I scheduled a service appointment with culver city Toyota and clearly indicated I required a rental vehicle to leave my car. My confirmation stated “arrangement: rental vehicle,” and the appointment was scheduled accordingly. When I arrived, I was told no rentals were available and that they are first-come, first-served. I was turned away and told to return another day. When I returned, I was able to leave my vehicle, but was asked how long I would need the rental without being given a repair timeline. Only after asking was I told the repair would take approximately two days. This was not communicated in advance, and given the prior lack of rental availability, it is unclear how I would have been expected to proceed without transportation. This has occurred across multiple attempts: lack of rental availability and requests to leave my vehicle for extended periods without transportation have made it difficult or impossible to complete the recall. As a result, I have been placed in the position of continuing to operate a vehicle with a known safety defect under a “do not drive” advisory due to the inability to access timely and practical repair. I am concerned that dealership-level processes are creating barriers that delay or prevent consumers from completing urgent safety recalls. As of today, I have left my car at this dealership for the recall repair, however the inconsistent communication and handling of this process have created uncertainty about whether the repair will be completed in a timely and reliable manner. Seeing reviews online, I'm not the only one who's had this issue and the gm is non responsive.

I got in an accident with a car who ran a stop sign when I didn't have one. I was going approximately 15-20mph and my entire front end collided with their passenger side. My air bags did not go off at all.

I have repaired all the safety recalls on my 2004 Toyota Corolla s. However, I just had another warning signal for the seatbelt/airbag today. Since this has been a recall previously, can I have the dealer look at the car and repair again? I wouldn't think the airbags/seatbelt warning would come back so fast after being repaired for the recall. Please advise. Thank you.

We received the enclosed NHTSA notice about a vehicle repair that is need for a recall. However we no longer own this vehicle. We sold the vehicle in 2018 or 2019 and transferred the pink slip to the new owner. We have no way to contact him and he is responsible for the vehicle now. So we are just notifying you that we cannot take any action on this.

Hello, in January 3, 2022. I took the vehicle to the Toyota hamer dealer about one issue of the air bag recall in the Toyota Corolla with the VIN: 1nxbr38e14z258330 there after around 4:pm on the Sunday the vehicle it was released with unsolved problems by the dealer and now I am requesting that it be properly repaired due to chronic and faulty problems. That the vehicle has.

I keep getting recall letters. So I call the number and the person claimed I could make an appointment and it coyld be done in 1 or 2 hours. That is what the letters claim. I make an appointment but when I show up at Toyota the have no appointment for me. But he claims it will take a "couple hours". Okay I will wait. So he signs me up and says be back at 2 pm. So now its gone from 1 hour min to 4 hrs min. My car sitd ina parking lot for 1 hour and I have an "apoointment". Those aholes claim they want to fix my car but thrn they want to jerk me aroumd. I scheduled my day for 2 hours. If its gonna take 4 hrs dont say 1 or 2. This day costs me alot of money taking off for this bullshit. Anyway I made a good faith effort but if youre gonna llie to me jerk me around and screw up my schedule then they are trying to discourage people from going thru the incredible hassle to fix the vehicle.

I was driving when I felt the seat belt tighten very hard and I saw the airbag icon on the dashboard. Luckily the traffic light turned red and I was able to stop. At that moment the airbag exploded. I did not hit myself so I managed to get out of the car and I saw the passenger's airbag exploded. My car did not hit anything and luckily no one was hurt.

Then February 2019 was told they had airbag went twice was told they had it when I first walked in and sat there for three hours for them to tell me that they didn't have it and didn't know when. Got a phone call from them telling me they may or may not have it in the middle of March but sure they wouldn't I asked about the buy back and about the Toyota lemon law I keep getting the run around and I'm tried of it this is my only way of going I have put off dr appt in northport al due with the fact I don't feel safe driving it and also was told not to drive it.

2004 Toyota. Consumer writes in regards to NHTSA safety recall. The consumer stated his wife is an invalid and cannot be left alone for the amount of time it would take to have the recall completed. The manufacturer was contacted and has yet to offer a solution.

Is the car safe since the airbag recall takata said that the cannot accept or deny it and Toyota said they did not know ask takata. I saw the class action lawsuit and they sent me the card for 9997 at the start lile they were going to buy back my car or cut me a check so I could squash it and get another one. Please let me know at 714-989-3086 or paultstoner@gmail. Com.

I am making this report to advise that there has been no valid communication from "info@airbags" (settlement notice administrator) to date. It has been over one year and there has been no valid response from "info@autoairbagsettlement. Com; takata settlement". See below email from them: thank you. Your �registration/claim form has been successfully submitted. Your confirmation code t2nhq3vl. Please keep this code for your records. Sincerely, settlement notice administrator.

Reccal.

Received notice of settlement.

I brought my car to Toyota due to a recall (sra, ecu). After Toyota performed work the seat belt audible alarm does not function and is therefore dangerous. Toyota could not find problem after spending six hours. Driving without functioning seat belt alarm is dangerous. I have copies of Toyota dealer work orders. Dealer will not fix problem they caused by installing the recall. . Toyota USA refuses to fix it. I would not ever have a recall by manufactuer done again. Too dangerous. ## VIN passed ## Toyota carolla 2004 ##.

Takata recall: I took my Toyota Corolla in for the seat belt recalls. The seat belt light was not on when I took it in for repair. After repair the seat belt light was on. The obdii code is b1182 � short in d squib circuit to ground. The airbag (srs) light may illuminate with code b1177 and/or b1182, related to the front seat belt pre-tensioners. The dealership says they did the recall repair and the light being on is my problem. The pretensioners are related to the recall. How do I know, who do I ask who do I go to (and trust) whether the recall repair was done � if at all. Why is the light on after repair and not before? seeking to understand.

This car has been donated to kars 4 kids in 2015. It was no longer running as the engine had seized due to lack of motor oil. It no longer belongs to alan d. Kintzer. Please take me off the database as the owner. I am not responsible for this car. I have informed Toyota and the motor vehicle department of this many times.

Takata recall I contacted my dealer in may 2016 to schedule the srs/ecu repair and was told they needed to order the parts. I called the dealer July 11 and was told the srs part was not available and it could be sometime maybe months before the parts would be available. He stated it was takata's fault and there was nothing the dealer could do. I would like to know if what the dealer is telling me is correct.

Takata recall: I was told that the recall takes 3 hours. I can not be without a car for 3 hours. I tried to call the nearest Toyota dealership and they couldn't even schedule this appointment over the phone. They said they were busy and would have to have an "adviser" call me back. I will need a rental car paid for in order to get this service done. I would think that this would the utmost of importance and systems/personnel would be in place to handle this more efficiently and more timely. Since this is the manufacturers' negligence, I expect Toyota to deliver on it's legal commitment to pay for all costs associated with this burden. If it takes 3 hours, I need a rental car for 3 hours.

Toyota sent an ¿urgent safety recall¿ concerning the srs ecu on my Toyota. The letter stated: ¿this is an important safety recall; Toyota has prepared sufficient parts for vehicles registered in your location. ¿ I scheduled an appointment with authorized Toyota dealer charles barker Toyota in virginia beach, va, and scheduled an appointment to have the work performed. I left the car for the required work, and picked it up later. I stopped at a store on the way home and called my wife, and she told me that the service people had called and said they had to order a part. Up to this point, no one had explained to me that the repairs had not been made to my car and that I would need to schedule it for a return visit. I called and spoke to service advisor derrick williams, and he told me that they do not stock the computers and have to order them. Toyota has not prepared sufficient parts for vehicles registered in my area, and it is preposterous that Toyota expects me to bring my car back for a second service call to replace a part that should be stocked.

Takata recall.

"takata recall" I keep receiving recall notices, but when I call the dealership, they act like they don't know what I am talking about and when I call the 1800 number they act like everything is taken care of. Then the dealership calls and they don't know what is going on again. I have given up on the safety recall for the time being. I hope that as time passes the system will get smoothed out where this can actually get fixed, maybe. It does not seem that fixing the airbag issues are a serious priority in person, only on paper.
