Failure Date: 11/10/2017

Takata recall the takata recall website lists, among other vehicles, 2006 Toyota Sequoias. I have one of these. However, when I put my VIN into the online system, it indicates no recalls. I need specific assurance that I do not need to address this recall, please, since there may be a disconnect between the online recall-checking services and the takata-related website. Thanks.

Failure Date: 08/01/2017

Tl the contact owns a 2006 Toyota Sequoia. The contact received a settlement postcard for the frame along with unknown recall notices regarding the air bags. The contact took the vehicle to butler Toyota (9419 aronson dr, indianapolis, in 46240, (317) 848-4210) several times to have the frame repaired; however, the air bags were repaired instead. This happened several times until the dealer stated that the settlement letter had expired. The contact stated that the frame was rusted from the inside out and was deteriorating rapidly. The dealer quoted a repair cost of $2,000 for an air suspension air bag that was not included in the recall. The cost to repair the frame was $3,000. The dealer did not include on the paperwork that the frame was the main reason the contact brought in the vehicle. The manufacturer stated that if the dealer had included the frame on the repair order, they would have taken care of the frame. The failure mileage was 230,000.

18 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2015

Received a recall notice involving passenger seat air bag shrapnel upon activation. Toyota recommend no one ride in passenger seat until repaired. After making numerous calls about followup, no solution was forthcoming. No timeline when parts will be avaliable for repair (they don't even have any)!!! that was almost 4 mo. Ago and still no info. From Toyota. I called Toyota again today (10/6/2015) and the story was the same except a Toyota representative did state the air bag could possibly activate at any time without impact. Toyota stated in their recall that the shrapnel could cause fatal injuries to occupants!!!! I would like to know what is being done to protect the citizens who own these potential death traps????? this has been known for months but no one seems to care!!!! I did read that Toyota was offering 35$ for rental car services but nothing was said about that in my recall letter. And that the government had sued Toyota over this. But what about us, the owners of these potential time bombs??? who's helping us???????? thank you.

19 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2015

Toyota is recalling passenger airbags due to faulty takata airbag in which metal fragments may deploy with the air bag. Our vehicle is one of the recalled vehicles and I received notice in June/July 2015 with a recommendation not to have any passenger in the front passenger seat. It is now oct. And no replacement airbags have yet been made available. This is our primary vehicle and months have passed without resolution of this safety problem. This is unsatisfactory and more needs to be done to remedy this problem in a shorter amount of time.

34 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2015

Takata recall, the time that it is taking to remedy this problem and the solution Toyota has is not sufficient. 1 pay for the airbags and submit a reimbursements claim, 2 don't use the passenger seat. Stating that they are up to 2002 for this model is a great inconvenience when purchasing a vehicle for its supposed safety features.

35 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2014

I am part of the front passenger seat airbag recall for 2006 Toyota Sequoias. As a consumer, I have known about the defective airbag for almost 12 months and I am just now receiving a letter from Toyota about it. All the letter says is that Toyota is trying to find parts with no further information or date when the airbag will be replaced. In the meantime, Toyota asks me not to have a passenger in the front passenger seat. I believe Toyota has negligently stretched the recall notice long past when the problem was first discovered. Toyota still does not have replacement parts and the recall letter sets no timetable for the repair. The remedy is woefully inadequate to not use the front passenger seat. I know the us government has sued over this airbag issue. When does the actual consumer benefit from a suitable remedy?.
