I called Toyota after receiving the recall notice which recommended using the vehicle without an occupant in the front seat. When I called the customer service number, the representative stated repair of the vehicle was not a "remedy available at this time. " when asked about a car rental again I was told that "remedy is not available at this time. " I was then transferred to an individual who stated reimbursing individuals for making 2 trips to transport 5 people was not a a "remedy available at this time. " the notice which was sent only warns to keep occupants out of the front seat. However, a heavy purse or even grocery bag triggers the weight sensor and may cause the airbag to deploy. I mentioned this to Toyota and said she may want to pass that information along because it may be a serious safety concern. I was told she was taking careful notes and a case manager would contact me the following business day. I never received the phone call. The next morning, I once again reached out to customer service, this time asking the customer service rep about whether the notes reflected the information I had given them about the weight sensor. She stated there were no notes and that either way Toyota does not take "unsolicited advice. " the customer service line has essentially been set up to compartmentalize incoming information in order to shield the company as it kicks the can down the road on the repairs. I am documenting this here in the hopes they can be contacted to remedy the letters language and hopefully prevent injuries to the public.
