general problems of the 2005 Toyota Corolla - part 2

"takata recall" - despite visits to two Toyota dealers in June 2016 I was unable to get the airbag changed according to the recall notice received in April. Both dealers complained that the manufacturer was not suppling adequate replacement airbags and it would take an indefinite time. This is unacceptable. Kindly intervene.

Takata recall. I received a "preliminary notice" months ago, telling me not to have any front-seat passengers in my car, and that I would be contacted again when the part was ready. Last week I finally received an "urgent recall notice. " I called today to schedule the appointment and was told they still don't have the part in and that someone would contact me. This is ridiculous. I essentially have half a car, and Toyota is doing nothing about it.

Takata recall - I called green's Toyota in lexington ky shortly after receiving the recall notice to schedule the recall repair. I explained that I wanted to bring it in on the 1st available Saturday. I was routed to many people and finally after speaking to marion bailey (service mgr), I was told that they would have to order the part and once it arrived, I could schedule to repair. Yesterday I received notice that the part was received. I called today, and was told that they do not do Saturday recall repairs. My formal complaint is that 1. They could have an should have told me this before having wait 4 weeks for a part to arrive, and then having to find another dealership to repair this, and wait another 4 weeks for the part to arrive, and 2. We simply cannot bring this car in for repair during the week as we both work and cannot spend the majority of a work day waiting for a repair. We have a few saturdays that are available to us in the next several weeks and need to get this repair completed. I am formally notifying the NHTSA and Toyota corporation of America that we have made every reasonable effort to resolve this matter as outlined in the Toyota recall notice. However, we have met resistance and delays at most every attempt to get this recall repair completed. I am asking for specific and immediate assistance in locating a dealer close to our location, that will repair this item on a Saturday, and for expedited scheduling and ordering/receiving of the recall repair part.

Takata recall - similar to others who have written complaints, I received a letter nearly a year ago saying that I was involved in the recall and that there were parts available in my area. I scheduled an appointment at my local Toyota dealership (kearny mesa) only to be told that they parts weren't in yet and that they'd let me know when they were. . . . I realize there are a lot of cars affected by this. I also realize that my region has low humidity and there's less concern for the airbag to malfunction. . . But this really is unacceptable. Nearly a year later and I have to either "not drive with anyone" or give them a fair warning that says "hey, that airbag might not be safe, thanks for riding with me!" it's absolutely ridiculous that there isn't a faster response or way to see when we'll be able to get our cars fixed.

Takata recall - I scheduled an appointment with ourisman Toyota in fairfax, va to have the airbag replaced. I called the parts department to confirm availability of the airbag prior to my appointment but received no return call to my voicemail. When I arrived for my appointment I was told that the waiting list at ourisman for this part is at least many weeks and possibly several months as they do not know when new shipments of airbags will arrive or how many will be coming. The only explanation for my not having received a call back was that "we use a call center now and we don't know what they are doing. " my wife is leaving with the car for canada in just over a week and is very concerned about making a long highway trip with the airbag situation still unresolved.

Takata recall. I got a letter from Toyota instructing me to bring the vehicle in for the recall repair. I contacted priority Toyota of springfield, va. 7601 loisdale rd, springfield, va 22150 to schedule the repair. After I provided the VIN, they instructed me that I must bring the vehicle in for a pre-inspection, then they will order the part, which will take a week to arrive, then I can bring the car back and wait for the repair which will take 3-4 hours. This is unacceptable. Toyota has a faulty part and they need to make it right with customers, not make us jump through a bunch of hoops. The recall notice clearly states not to allow someone to sit in the passenger seat until the repair is made.

I received a letter in September 2015 about my car having a recall on it's airbags. Toyota said they would call when they had the part in. I waited until January 2016. I called my Toyota dealer in January and asked them if the part was in yet. They said no and that I had to order the part. Prior to this, my original letter did not tell me that I needed to order a part. It simply told me to wait for a call from Toyota when the part was in. So then they ordered the part in January. In March, I still had not heard anything. I called and asked about my part and they said they still did not have it. I finally received a letter saying my part was ready on may 23rd 2016. I called my Toyota dealer to make an appointment. The service receptionist I spoke with was very short and rude with me. She told me that my part was still not in and that she had no way of telling me when it would arrive. I have had to drive an unsafe vehicle since September 2015. I should not have to wait almost an entire year for my recall to be fixed. I am still waiting and do not know when my Toyota dealer will be able to fix my car.

It has been nearly 2 years since I discovered that the passenger air bag is on recall. Toyota dealer is still saying it could be up to 1 more year before they can get it replaced.

Was notified over a year ago about recall. Never rec'd word from Toyota about part being available. Called last month and part was ordered. Rec'd another letter from Toyota stating same problem. Called newark Toyota about status of part ordered. Still on waiting list. No explanation why this is taking so long. Called corporate. Apparently parts are backordered and nothing being sent to dealership. Apparently they are still using the same manufacturer for the module that supplied all the faulty vehicles. Why!!! it seems that they really are not taking this very seriously. Why aren't we offered loaner or rental cars as in the case of Honda who has the same problem? how many lives are expendable before something is done to remedy the situation. I see that there are over seven million repairs so far. When will my car be fixed?.

Takata recall. I was informed by Toyota on 8/10/15 about the takata recall. I was not able to get the recall fixed on my car until 4/11/16 due to the "unavailability of replacement parts. " I had to use the car for 8 months without letting anyone sit in the front passenger seat! I was not able to car pool to work and this really put a damper on my ability to reasonably transport my family, friends and CO-workers. The time it took to replace the defective parts is completely unacceptable!.

Takata recall after I received the first recall letter from Toyota it said remedy was not available and I would receive another followup letter when available. I never received one. I called the dealer on 11-5-15 to follow up and they said no parts were available yet. . I call 4-4-16 and was told the part was available and to get it fixed my options were leave the care for 4-6 hours and rent a car or have a possibility of waiting for their shuttle that has a 10 mile limit. I don't feel I should have to pay for a rental or miss work to have this repair done. The dealer told me to contact Toyota corporate which I did. I was initially told that, yes, retntals were supposed to be suppled and they had me talk with a person at the next level to hopefully work it out. I was told by this level person that they only supplied rentals for people who requested them prior to a remedy and parts available. I confirmed that they would have paid for a rental for a few months but won't pay for one for one day? they said that was correct. . I cannot afford a rental car or taking tie off work to get this fixed. Do I have any recourse?.

Takata recall - Toyota letter received (bloomington indiana) stating they completed parts prep for my geographical region and to contact a dealer for replacement. I called dealer and was told Toyota had placed a 3 per week limit and that the dealer would need to order and expect delivery in two weeks. That to me is not acceptable. The legal nonsense of not having a front seat passenger is annoying since this has been dragging out for a very long time. Surely there are other manufacturers that could make replacement. Seems to me no one is taking this with any sense of urgency.

Takata recall I'm just concerned at how long this recall is taking. For such a serious safety hazard, it's been over 6 months since I received my initial recall notice and I have not heard anything else about it since. I'm expecting a child in a few months and I can't be driving around in a vehicle that has such a glaring safety problem. The recalls need to be fixed faster and more efficiently.

2005 Toyota Corolla. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to complete air bag recall notice.

Takata recall it has been almost six months and I have not recieved notification of available replacement parts for the air bag in my 2005 Toyota Corolla. My family relies on the use of this car and not being able to use the passenger seat is a big inconvienience. When can I expect a replacement part to be available so a repair of the faulty air bag can take place? I expect a resolution for this issue soon! thank you for your time, darrell s. Collins.
