TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN MAY 2016 FOR MY VEHICLE. WE HAVE STOPPED USING THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS GREATLY IMPACTING OUR LIVES. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING 10 MONTHS, AND THERE ARE STILL NO PARTS AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IN FEBRUARY 2017, WE GOT A RECALL NOTICE, FOR THE SAME ISSUE, ON OUR SECOND CAR, 2012 TOYOTA COROLA. WE CANNOT SAFELY TRANSPORT OUR FAMILY IN EITHER CAR NOW. WE NEED TAKATA TO EXPEDITE THE REPAIRS AND PROVIDE US WITH FREE TRANSPORTATION IN A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT PUT OUR LIVES AT RISK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA SCION XB. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE CONSUMED A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SIX QUARTS OF OIL WAS PLACED IN THE VEHICLE, AND ALL OF IT WAS CONSUMED IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING AN OIL CONSUMPTION FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT A TOYOTA DEALER WHERE NEW PISTONS AND RINGS WERE PLACED IN THE VEHICLE BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR. I ACCELERATED RAPIDLY UP TO 40 MPH AND WHEN I EASED OFF THE GAS, THE CAR CONTINUED TO REV/ACCELERATE. I TRIED PUSHING THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR RESISTED. I CHANGED GEARS INTO NEUTRAL (I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC) AND THOUGH IT REVVED REALLY LOUDLY, WHEN I PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE, IT WAS RESPONSIVE AGAIN TO THE GAS AND BRAKE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 SCION XB. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V006000 (AIR BAGS) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE TIME FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL-RECEIVED NOTICE OF AIRBAG RECALL IN JUNE 2016. IT IS NOW FEBRUARY 2017 AND ON 2/24/2017 I CALLED THE HOTLINE TO INQUIRE WHEN THE PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED. THE REMEDY THAT THE NOTICE GAVE US WAS NOT TO HAVE ANYONE SIT IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS BECOME A PROBLEM FOR US AS THIS IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. I WAS INFORMED THAT NO REMEDY HAS BEEN FOUND YET. SINCE JUNE 2016 I HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS MAILINGS FROM TOYOTA OFFERING TO BUY BACK MY CAR AT A LOW PRICE. IT SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA WANTS US TO EITHER TURN IN OUR CAR FOR A NEW VEHICLE OR WAIT UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TOO OLD TO FIX. WHEN WILL THIS PROBLEM BE RESOLVED. A TEMPORARY FIX SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN PLACE WHEN THE ORIGINAL NOTICES WERE SENT BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD GIVE US A LOANER. I AM SURE THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE THE CASE ESPECIALLY WHEN NO REPAIR IS EVEN AVAILABLE. CAN YOU PLEASE ADVISE WHEN THE REMEDY WILL BECOME AVAILABLE??

TAKE RECALL I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN APRIL OF 2016 AND WAS NOT NOTIFIED AT ALL ABOUT THIS RECALL. NO ONE TOLD ME THAT MY AIRBAGS COULD HARM ME OR EVEN KILL ME. I'M VERY UPSET WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE WORKED WITH.

HAWAII IN THE HOUSE ...I OWN A 2006 SCION XA AND RECENTLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT HILO TOYOTA.."P2401 EVAPORATE LEAK DETECTION PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT". THE CHARCOAL CANISTER AND SOME OTHER PARTS ARE RUINED DUE TO WATER LEAKAGE. I AM ONE OF MILLIONS SCION OWNERS WHO NOW HAS TO PAY MAJOR PARTS AND LABOR CHARGES TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I LIVE IN HAWAII AND IT RAINS ALOT HERE, I FIND THIS AS A DEFECT AND TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE THE RIGHT ACTIONS TO FIX THIS ON GOING ISSUE. I LOVE MY SCION BUT I HATE KNOWING THIS WILL RE-OCCUR AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN... AS MANY POSTS HAVE PAID FOR NEW PARTS. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME AND I PAYED OVER $1,000 IN REPAIRS FOR THIS CODES. "TOTOTA" HANDLE THIS ISSUE ALREADY. WE ARE LOYAL CUSTOMERS, BUT U GUYS NEED TO TAKE ACTION. NOT EVERY ONE HAS A FEW THOUSANDS TO FIX THIS ON GOING ISSUE.
