In early August I received a safety recall notice from Toyota about the passenger side airbag being unsafe in our 2006 Sequoia. Apparently this recall has been in effect since June 2015 so I find it unacceptable that we weren't notified until early August. The recall notice recommends that we do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat until Toyota has fixed the problem. However, Toyota is taking an excessively long time to provide parts for the repair. It is now August 31 and there is still no definitive date set for repairing the problem. Further, Toyota is providing only up to $35/day reimbursement for a loaner vehicle -- which covers only a third to half of what it costs to rent a vehicle of comparable size to our Sequoia. This is unfair and a big inconvenience to our family. I understand that parts availability can take time - but at least provide us with a comparable replacement car at no charge.
The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Sequoia. The contact stated that while driving approximately 2 mph, the four side air bags erroneously deployed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the air bag sensors had failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure.
