general problems of the 2006 Toyota Tundra - part 1

Tried to make an appointment with ray brandt Toyota in kenner louisiana. Made the appointment online, but could not get someone to call me back telling me if the airbag part was in I tried calling countless times I tried going through their website. Chat nothing. I’m going to have to drive over an hour away to another Toyota dealership, due to this once lack of concern towards their customers. I don’t even feel safe driving my vehicle due to metal being in the airbags.

I have been trying to get my airbag changed from recall. Toyota will not do the repair. They refuse to pick up my truck. My reference number at Toyota is 220901001583. This is the number Toyota corp. Gave to me. Twice corp. Set up the repair both times dealers refused to come get it. Now corp. Says I have to bring it in to get the repair. For two years they have been sending me recall notices saying they will come and get the vehicle. Now they refuse to do that. I will not take it to Toyota. They have wasted enough of my time already. Thanks russ.

Jan. 2, 2021 dealer (advantage Toyota of valley stream) refused to complete NHTSA recall no. 19v-741. Dealer stated that they do not do recall service on weekends. Toyota corporate's recall letter states that a loaner vehicle would be provided. Advantage Toyota states that they do not have loaner vehicles, regardless of what day or time I would be willing to schedule the service appointment. Dealer did not offer any alternative transportation options (ride home, paid taxi, etc. ) contacted corporate, advised that the dealers are privately owned and Toyota inc is neither affiliated nor liable for dealership actions. Toyota recommended that I pay out of pocket for the expenses for a rental car and request reimbursement at a later date. I thought it would be of interest to the NHTSA this example of Toyota's lack of interest to remedy a mandated safety recall. Toyota sends multiple letters indicated a serious safety issue with a vehicle they manufactured. Then, dealerships make it difficult (if not impossible) to have the recall service completed. Toyota then excuses itself from liability by stating dealerships are privately owned. Convenient. Feel free to contact me should you have any additional questions pertaining to this matter.

I brought my truck to miller Toyota dealer at 1331 n. Euclid st, anaheim, CA 92801 on Nov-26, 2019. And they stated that part was not available, and they would contact me when they have the part, would take couple days.

Takata recall while truck was at dealership having an electrical problem troubleshot was informed by dealership about air bag recall and that recall would be done at same time. Passenger air was replaced at this time. After truck sat a dealership for extended period eventually got truck back. Everything appeared normal. After several months to a year started noticing an odd appearance on the passenger air bag cover. This area began having a sticky feeling to it. Placed a paper napkin on the air bag cover and had part of the napkin stick to the cover. During one of the recent heat spells with the interior of the truck reaching a high temperature discovered that the air bag cover has been spray painted to match interior color of truck. This makes that area of the dash look disgusting plus you can no longer lay an object there without it getting stuck to the dash. Am able to push paint and see that original color of air bag cover is black.

4/12/17 I called to schedule replacement of my recalled air bag VIN:6s457928 Toyota Tundra 2006 mgr. Nancy (Toyota dealership south blvd. Charlotte) refused to schedule appointment with out me providing my phone number. She would even let me talk to her mgr. Tod grub or leave message for him. She was plain rude so I asked her to give me something in writing "refusal to replace air bag due to customer unwillingness to release phone number" she refused that too. I tried to educate mgr nancy that all you need and all you can get in this situation is my title and my id. I hope that you see and address the room for improvement and risk they keep us in.

I have been trying for a year to have the air bags replaced under the recall with maita Toyota and folsom lake Toyota dealerships in California. I just got off the phone and they parts could still take a year to come in. This is nonsense. Why are they allowed to not have the parts needed to replace a dangerous situation that is their fault. Why do I have to assume the risk of having my face blown off because they don't want to spend the money to make things right. As usual the corporations get away with murder while the individuals pay the price. The dealerships need to be made to make things right and get these safety recalls taken care of.

My vehicle has been in the dealer (liberty Toyota) for the past three months for ecu passenger airbag issues. To date, Toyota corporate engineers have not been able to fix the issue.

It is a 60 minute drive both ways, and I had my wife pick me up and when I returned at 12 noon, the vehicle had not been repaired, and was not given an explanation why.

My truck has a recall on the air bag, the recall stated do not have anyone in the front seat. I have handicap people who cannot get in the back seat. If someone hits me my passenger can be injured or killed. I called to get an appointment for replacement and it is up to 4 months out.

Takata recall-we received a letter from Toyota a month ago stating that "Toyota has completed parts preparation for vehicles in your geographic area". I contacted the dealer and was told there is a national back order of the part and that it would take 3-4 months for the part to come in. Until then , no one is to drive in the passenger seat of the truck which makes the vehicle virtually unusable. The recall has been in effect for almost a year and now we are being told it wll be another 1/3 of a year before it is addressed.

Takata recall still waiting to be able to use this vehicle safely. Unacceptable waiting time! was told today that "they send them at will" and "it looks like it will be a lengthy waiting time but you are welcome to check back periodically"!!! this an urgent safety recall and has resulted in deaths!.

Takata recall. Airbag recall. Safety recall: e04. 2006 Toyota Tundra. Experiencing hardship and inconvenience to business due to excessive wait for new parts to remedy defective parts in recall. Shameful lack of response from Toyota to remedy this deadly safety issue and to make right by owners inconvenienced by Toyota product malfunction.

Takata recall- according to NHTSA recall number 15v285, this recall was issued on June 16, of 2015. I just received my recall notice from Toyota last week, a full nine months later. Is this delay permissible? my mailing address is known to Toyota and it hasn't changed in four years. This is very upsetting to learn about so late- not know my grand kids or others should not have been in the front passenger seat. Also, regarding NHTSA campaign number 16v065000- how long should I expect to wait for a recall notice? the dealership tells me they can do nothing until Toyota notifies them.

Urgent safety recall notice received. Our local dealership says they can only get 1 repair kit a week from Toyota, so it will be 2 months before we can get this fixed. In the meantime, we are told no one should ride in the front passenger seat. This does not seem like a timely remedy to a dangerous defect.

Received note for replacement a long time ago. Toyota can not procure an airbag in 6 month?? are they really intending to replace it or do we have wait until someone gets hurt?? working in the industry I really wonder about their excuses.
