Seatbelt didn't tighten up initially during a wreck causing more extensive injury. Then tightened up snatching passenger into seat from midair causing additional damage. Vehicle was going straight and was hit by a car who ran a left turn arrow on a city street. Wreck was under 50mph but passenger had extensive damage due to seatbelt malfunction. .

There has been a recall on my vehicle and the recall has been unresolved thus far.

Air bag was replaced and light won't go off, causing inspection failure.

Srs light is on not flashing. Continuously illuminated. Car was parked not moving I washed it and filled washer fluid reservoir fluid spilled so I rinsed it off when I was done I moved my car and srs light was on. I believe the senor shorted out when it got wet.

My car was involved in an accident that was bad enough that the airbags should have activated, but did not. This was after I had the recall on the airbags repaired at the dealer in late 2017. Who can I address this problem with?.

I had my car checked because a light came on on my dash on 12/6/17 so I had it checked and it ended up being my tire pressure was low, but the monitor they hook up indicated that my passenger airbag was affected, so I took it into Toyota and they looked at me like I was dumb and just told me that they put air in my tires and everything was fine. So on 12/12/17 my maintenance required light came on and I had o'reilys check with there monitor and again it red flagged the passenger airbag, I knew it was time for an oil change so I figured that's why my maintenance required light was on but what concerns me is the airbag. According to my notes, I had my airbags supposedly replace in July of 2016 and I am not sure if a light would come on indicating something was wrong with the airbags but I need to find out if after a 1 1/2 years why I would have a problem with my airbag???? could this be related to the recall and how do I find out (other than going in to Toyota) that they actually replaced the recalled airbag???) they tell me they did but doesn't my VIN number have to be kept track of somewhere besides the specific dealer that I went to??? they treated me like crap and told me it was an $89 diagnostic fee and if it was an airbag would cost between $500-$700 dollars. I need to know more information on the previous airbag recall as I am beginning to wonder if it was never fixed because I have never had to have my car checked for lights coming on so I feel that I have been driving for 1 1/2 years with faulty airbags.

I found airbag recall number 16v340.

October 9, 2017 I was rear-ended, hit at 35 mph. This hit I was sitting. I was side swiped at 40- 45 mph, moving at this time. I was again rear-ended at 50- 55 mph, stopped. And then I was backed into, in the front end of my car at 20-25 mph. How come no airbags go off?.

I went to melody Toyota in san bruno, CA (summer 2016) to have airbag recall taken care of. They told me they didn't have the part and they would call me for an appointment when it came in. After a month with no word from them I stopped by again. They told me I didn't need to stop by because they would call me when the part came in. That was over a year ago and they still haven't called! I got a reminder about the recall summer 2017 and made an appointment at one Toyota of oakland for 10am 7/18/17. They told me car would be ready by 2:30. When 4:00 came and I had no word I asked. At around 4:30 I was told they hadn't started yet and they asked me if I wanted to make another appointment for another day. I walked out totally disgusted. Obviously the Toyota dealerships have put this airbag recall at the bottom of their priority list. I will try finding a third dealership today and hope to be done with this soon.

Steering column damaged airbag wiring, causing srs light to illuminate during normal driving.

Takata recall - it is unbelievable that I am unable to have passengers in the front seat of my car because of a risk of death and there is no date even to repair. This is a priority. I don't understand why I cannot have this fixed now. Unbelievable!.

Takata recall my local Toyota dealer has told me they can't get the part. In a timely fashion.

"takata recall", airbags failed to inflate. Car was in motion and hit a deer on highway and car is now deemed totaled by insurance company adjuster. Recall on this vehicle was taken to Toyota dealer approximately 2 months ago and supposedly taken care of. Fortunately, no one in vehicle was insured. I wonder if there was some faulty instillation or the airbags were even replaced? the car was towed to a salvage location today in st. Louis, mo.

Takata recall - NHTSA recall no. 15v-285 and 16v-127 I called my nearest Toyota dealer to schedule replace of air bag module but the dealer said it would be 6 months before they could do it. They told me they only get two modules a week and there was many people on the wait list. I place my name on the wait list but was not happy. My nearest Toyota dealer is rochester Toyota, 4365 canal place, rochester, mn 55904. I find that a 6 month wait time is way beyond reasonable.

I received a remedy notice from Toyota stating that "Toyota has completed parts preparation for vehicles in your geographic area. Please contact any authorized Toyota dealer to schedule and appointment to have this remedy performed as soon as possible". I called today and was told they did not have the part and I would have to be put on a waiting list for at least 4 weeks. They send me a letter telling me they are ready then they tell me to wait??? and in the meanwhile I am not supposed to have anyone ride on the front passenger seat? ridiculous; obviously no sence of urgency.

I received a remedy notice from Toyota stating that "Toyota has completed parts preparation for vehicles in your geographic area. Please contact any authorized Toyota dealer to schedule and appointment to have this remedy performed as soon as possible". When I called the dealer today, they stated that Toyota was only allowing them a few parts per week therefore they would have to order the part and it would be 6 weeks before they received the part. The notice advises that I should not drive the car with a passenger in the front seat until this is fixed. The timeframe does not reflect the urgency of the fix.

Takata recall. I just called broadway Toyotai in portland oregon to see about replacement under the recall. They told me it would take about 20 weeks to get the part. I don't think this is a reasonable time to remedy the defect.

I received the re-call notice and I have been calling or passing by and the toyata dealer located at NW 12 street around 97th avenue in miami, FL keep telling me to wait 3 month. What is the purpose of this notice if toyta is doing nothing to fix it ?.

Takata recall I received a "remedy notice" from Toyota regarding this recall and made an appointment with my Toyota dealer. After dropping my car off at the dealership to have this resolved, I received a phone call notifying me that they could not "fix" the issue related to this recall. I was informed that as Toyota has limited the number of "remedy kits" to 6 per dealership, per week, I would have to wait approximately 3 months (or more) before parts would be available to "fix" my vehicle. (never mind the fact that the dealership should have told me they did not have the parts when the appointment was made and wasted my time, but that¿s another issue). The original recall announcement I received from Toyota stated "until the remedy becomes available in your location, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat". So, I am to be deprived of using the front passenger seat of my vehicle for an additional 3 months, or more (after having receiving the remedy notice), because Toyota chooses to limit the number of parts available to local dealers to remedy this issue. That is ridiculous. Since Toyota sent me a "remedy notice" for this recall, I believe it is their responsibility to ensure my vehicle is fixed in a timely matter. A delay of 3 months because Toyota is not supplying dealers with enough parts is just inexcusable.
