Manufacturer and dealership is not responsive in trying to remedy the air bag issue. I'm receiving multiple reminders to get my vehicle fixed for the takata air bag recalls. I have 2 outstanding issues. I called autonation Toyota in hayward, CA. They said they'd call me back as they had to order the parts. Almost 2 months later, I called to follow-up as they never called me back. They then told me that it shows in their records that they serviced my vehicle and remedied the issue. If you look at the online records, it shows that the 2 recalls are still unremedied. Also, I would know if I brought my vehicle in for the repair. I talked to a person named julian at the dealership.

Air bag recall. Alan jay Toyota removed original air bag because of recall then replace air gab with a used salvage air bag. After I complained to manager, they tried to clean up air bag cover so it would match dash. They couldn't get clean or remove the sticky tacky substance on cover. They said it was a new air bag and that was the way they come or must of gotten dirty installing. I said I don't believe that explanation so they said they would order a new air bag. On a follow up call to get new air bag replacement they say now they want to clean it up again and paint to match dash color. The photos are after they cleaned air bag cover and said it was brand new. I don't feel this is the way the air bag recall was intended so therefore I am complaining.

Ever since I got it 2 years ago the steering has not been right with random vibration from the steering wheel to feeling like im trying harder to make it go straight. And also a clunk at low speed turns/ vibration on freeway. I was told the rack was going so I replaced it with new poly bushings and tie rods. Helped a little but no, got new rims and tires and no difference still vibration on freeway. It's weird if I pull down on the steering wheel it makes it less worse. Also it feels like all this is wearing my power steering pump as it's the only thing covered in oil under my hood. I'm. Seriousy scared to drive it on the freeway cause of the over correcting and vibration. I only have 82k on it. When I got it from the dealership nothing was said. I'm the second owner. I still have the original rack but the problem is still there. Service was done by independent shop. Airbag stickers on passenger visor are gone and passenger airbag cover sticks out more the it should I think. I received the car facts from the dealership and nothing is in there for all the recalls. As the website says there are none pending. I would like to get a print out of all recall repairs if possible. I still have the car fax from them.

Dealership refuses to service. Said my vehicle is not effective. I received information stating otherwise?.
Takata recall--we have not received replacement parts for recall of side curtain air bags. We have been very distressed regarding the takata bags containing shrapnel-like substances & told replacement bag in passenger side (that was already replaced once) is also defective. We are very concerned as we transport grandchildren in this vehicle. This vehicle is a danger to our family & we want to know when it will be safe. There was also a recall on the undercarriage rusting. We got the spray done on that. When will this vehicle be safe? it has been reliable, just very stressful regarding saftey issues.
Horn, airbag and cruise control light on do to a bad spiral cable, this is dangerous. This is a ongoing problem with this vehicle.

Takata recall. Was made aware of recall via the media. Verified by using web site and VIN #. Contacted dealer (mike johnson's Toyota of hickory), was told my vehicle was not on the list. In Dec. 2015, received safety recall notice that my vehicle was indeed on the list. Contacted dealer 5 times since, each time with promise to check and call me back. Last time 2 weeks ago. No call back. I need (1) repairs done, or (2) written notice my vehicle is safe for front seat passengers, or (3) a loaner vehicle. I think 3+ months with no repairs or even a scheduled repair is indeed excessive.
2005 Toyota Tundra. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts for front passenger airbag module recall notice.
Takata recall hoover Toyota, birmingham al said they would not do the recall because we had replaced the trucks failed computer with a used model. They said that since we did not use an dealership to do the previous repair that they would not do the airbag replacement. They said they would hold the car unless we signed a release of liability form if we picked up the truck without paying them to replace the computer again. Calls to Toyota corporate received the same response. After a couple hours of threatening, they managed to figure out how to replace the airbag. Their reasoning for not being able to do the replacement was that they could not do a health checkup on the truck because the VIN number in the trucks computer did not match the trucks VIN number.

I received a safety recall notice letter from Toyota company several weeks ago informing me that the passenger air bag in my 2005 Toyota Tundra may explode metal chards when activated which may cause injury or death to the front seat passenger. They advised me that replacement parts are not available now, but will inform me when parts are made available in this geographic area and the local dealer will repair the vehicle. In the mean time they say "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. " when I received the letter, I checked with the local Toyota dealer and they indicate that they do not have replacement parts. Several weeks have passed and I cannot safely use my vehicle. The letter indicated that Toyota would inform me when the new parts had been produced and made available to the local dealer. I haven't heard from them. The Toyota CO. Should immediately repair my vehicle or provide me a loaner vehicle so that I may resume my typical everday activities. P. S. There has not been an incident. The air bag is still intact, I only indicated todays date as" incident date" to complete a required field on the form so it can be submitted.

There has been no incident at this time, but my concern is that I have been driving around in this unsafe vehicle for the last 6 years, endangering the lives of my wife, friends, and business associates while you guys were busy litigating this decision which should have been made as soon as they knew of the defect, not 3 or 4 or 5 years later. This is completely unacceptable, as is this ridiculous "remedy" and recommendation that we have nobody ride in the front seat. I use my truck for my 2 businesses that I run and I have people that ride in the front seat every day because the back seat is full of my tools. I don't understand why, after knowing about this problem for as long as Toyota has known, that they still don't have the parts to immediately get these vehicles fixed. My wife and I have been Toyota owners for many years, but we will never buy one again if this is the way they treat their customers.
On 8/17/15 received notice of a recall on passenger air bag. Per letter, I will be contacted when parts are available to fix the problem. In the interim, per Toyota, passengers are recommended not to use the front seat. If I cannot have the full use of my vehicle, due to a manufacturing issue, then Toyota should be supplying a similar vehicle until they can rectify the problem. In many instances I cannot refrain from using the passenger seat. I feel that they will be using this as an escape goat, so that they are not legally liable in case of issues or future incidence that may occur. In the meantime no can tell me when parts will be available to fix the problem. The dealers have no ideas as to when parts will be available. This is a major issue and Toyota should be forced to have time schedules as to when parts and repairs will be performed.
Front passenger air bag and curtain sheild (csa) airbag control module NHTSA recall:16v-065. No complications as of today. 8/15/2015 I received a recall notice for front passenger air back and notice said not to use front passenger seat and parts not available that a second notice would be sent when part was available I have heard nothing until today 3/12/2016 I received a recall for the curtain sheild airbag (csa) airbag control module and this part is not available I will receive a second notice when it is. I looked up the recalls and noticed the first part is available but have not been notified by Toyota so I called the vacaville dealer that sold me the truck and works on it to find out why I was not notified and was told they would call me right back in 5 min. I'm still waiting. Toyota and the dealerships need to get moving on these parts and installations now . The thing I'm more worried about now is that when they do replace the bags they are going to mess something else up or pretend to do it and keep the vehicle for days as I have experienced in the past even with an appointment and something as simple as replacing the battery or even an oil change I've had to return because they put the oil filter in wrong and leaked not only did I have to drive back but had to wait for 2 more hours at the end of the line spent a total of 4 hours waiting for oil change a return visit to fix what was not done right and then 1/2 hour of waiting when truck was done because no one came to let me know like they said . I found my truck in the parking lot and had to find someone to find my paper work and see that it was done another 20 min.

Per an urgent safety recall notice I contacted a local dealer. Fred anderson of charleston, SC. The dealership informed me that the parts necesary to remedy this recall are on indefinite back order. They referred me to toyaota at 1-800-331-4331 and that there is no expected date to get parts to remedy this recall. I contacted the suggested 1-800 number and was told that the customer relations manager was to call me back within 2 business days to get an answer on a recall remedy. It's been 5 business days adn no retruned call from anyone at Toyota. Meanwhile, the recal notice infoms me taht noone should ride iin the passenger seat until remedied. I have a vehicle taht Toyota has deemed unsafe for passengers, but htey cannot keep commitments on phone calls nor can they tell me when the recall will be remedied.
