2012 TOYOTA 4RUNNER Complaints

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. I CHECKED THE REAR VIEW MIRROR PREPARING TO BRAKE IN TRAFFIC. BEFORE MY EYES RETURNED TO THE FRONT I WAS CRASHING INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME PUSHING HIM INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM ACCORDING TO THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I GOT SO CLOSE SO FAST I BELIEVE WHEN I WENT TO BREAK THE GAS PEDDLE WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE BRAKE PEDDLE ALSO ABOVE THE BRAKE PEDDLE. AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH I WAS IN SHOCK.AND I COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. NOW I BELIEVE THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY RIGHT FOOT AS I WENT TO BREAK MY FOOT HIT THE GAS FIRST CAUSING MY CAR TO GO FORWARD AND CAUSED THE ACCIDENT I ONLY HAVE A SIZE 10 1/2 SHOE THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY ST. AN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION APPROX 25 MPH. THE RENTAL I WAS PROVIDED HAS THE BRAKE HIGHER THEN THE GAS AND A NORMAL DISTANCE FROM EACH OTHER. BEFORE THE CRASH MY SPACING WAS GOOD. I JUST GLANCED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR MY FOOT WAS OFF THE GAS I WAS PREPARING TO BREAK BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT BEFORE APPLYING THE BREAK IS WHEN I GLANCED INTO THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND LIKE I SAID BEFORE MY EYES CAME BACK TO THE FRONT THE AIR BAG WENT OFF BECAUSE OF THE CRASH. I ALSO THOUGHT THE CAR IN FRONT MAY HAVE HAD HIS ABS GO OFF BECAUSE HE WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM.BUT I DO NOT TO POINT THE FINGER AT ANYONE IT ALL HAPPENED IN A MATTER OF SECONDS I NEVER EXPERIENCED SO FRIGHTENING EXCEPT FOR FLYING AS A GUNNER IN A UH1E IN THE WAR. AGAIN I DO NOT KNOW FOR CERTAIN BUT THE ABOVE IS THE ONLY WAY IT MUST HAVE HAPPENED. THE WEATHER WAS DRY AND CLEAR IS THERE ANY OTHER REPORTS OF OTHER PEOPLE FEELING THE GAS AN BREAK PEDDLE ARE TOO CLOSE OR IF THE BRAKE SHOULD BE SET HIGHER THAN THE GAS?

TAKATA RECALL-I RECEIVED AN INTERIM NOTICE MONTHS AGO THAT I CANNOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE 2 CAR SEATS FILLING THE BACK AND NEED TO USE THE FRONT SEAT FOR ADULTS. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT IT HAS TAKEN SO LONG TO REMEDY THIS AND NOT BE ABLE TO TRAVEL SAFELY WITH ANOTHER ADULT?!?!

WE ARE UNABLE TO HAVE OUR CAR AIRBAGS REPAIRED AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL DUE TO A LACK OF REMEDY. WE LIVE IN ZONE A AND THE LACK OF REMEDY FOR SUCH A DANGEROUS DEFECT (EXPLODING AIRBAGS) IS UNFATHOMABLE. PLEASE PURSUE TAKATA FOR A REMEDY AGGRESSIVELY, BEFORE WE PAY THE PRICE.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS NOTIFIED OVER 6 MONTHS AGO THAT THE AIR BAGS WERE RECALLED. THERE STILL HAS NOT BEEN A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH 2 CHILDREN IN IT THAT CAN POTENTIALLY GET INJURED BY THIS AIR BAG. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE IS STILL NOT A REMEDY FOR MY VEHICLE. IT SAYS BY DECEMBER 2017 AS AN ESTIMATE. THE LETTER SAYS NOT TO HAVE SOMEONE SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. THAT IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION FOR 12 MONTH PERIOD!

TAKATA RECALL. NO REMEDY HAS BEEN OFFERED SINCE RECEIVING AN OFFICIAL WARNING NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN NEGLECTED FOR TOO LONG AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY!

I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AND TOYO IS TAKING TOO MUCH TIME TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL - THIS PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED IN JAN 2017 AND IT IS NEARLY SEPT 2017 AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO MY FAMILY.
