2012 TOYOTA 4RUNNER Complaints

TAKATA RECALL- I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE AIRBAG RECALL, BUT A REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. IT STATES, "WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." WE ARE A FAMILY OF 6, SO THIS IS NOT AN OPTION FOR US. TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE 2013 BUT IS JUST NOW RECALLING. I AM PAYING 650.00 A MONTH FOR A VEHICLE THAT, PER THIS LETTER, I CANNOT MAKE FULL USE OF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V006000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL-OUR 4RUNNER HAS BEEN JUDGED UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND TOYOTA HAS NOT YET OFFERED AN ETA FOR THE REQUIRED REPAIRS WHILE EVERY OTHER BRAND AFFECTED BY THE RECALL HAS EITHER PROVIDED REPAIRS TO THEIR OWNERS OR REACHED OUT TO SCHEDULE THEM. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA BY E-MAIL AND PHONE ONLY TO BE ADVISED A REMEDY WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE WITH NO ETA PROJECTED. NO MISHAP INVOLVING THIS VEHICLE YET.

TAKATA RECALL. I PURCHASED MY 2012 4RUNNER IN JUNE 2016. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED THERE WAS A RECALL (NO. 16V-340) FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAG ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE SINCE RECEIVED RECALL #17V-006. I THOUGHT IT WAS NOT LAWFUL FOR A DEALER TO SELL A VEHICLE UNDER RECALL WITHOUT NOTIFYING THE NEW OWNER. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE TAKATA RECALL, OR I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE?

TAKATA AIRBAGS: I RECEIVED THE INTERIM NOTICE FROM TOYOTA RECALLING MY FRONT "PASSENGER" AIRBAG. CURRENTLY THERE IS NOT A FIX, SO FOR LIABILITY PURPOSES TOYOTA RECOMMENDS THAT NO PASSENGERS SHOULD RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING. THE LIABILITY IS ON ME! I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE THE FIRST OF MARCH, THE RECALL DATE IS JANUARY 9, 2017. WHAT ABOUT THE DRIVERS AIR BAG? SERIOUSLY, SHOULD I NOT DRIVE MY CAR? I GUESS THE LIABILITY FALLS BACK TO TAKATA AND TOYOTA IF THE DRIVERS AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS. THIS COMPANY HAS A CONTINUED PROBLEM WITH AIRBAGS. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE, IN THE FACT, THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG, THEN ALL THE TAKATA AIRBAGS IN THE CAR ARE A POTENTIAL HAZARD. WHERE ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DRIVERS, FOR OTHER PASSENGERS, HOW TO PROPERLY PLACE BOOSTER SEATS TO MINIMIZE INJURY OR DEATH. I CURIOUS TO FIND OUT WHAT OTHER MATTERS/ISSUES HAVE NOT SURFACED TO THE CONSUMER FOR ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE IMPACTED BY TAKATA AND THEIR RESPECTIVE CAR MANUFACTURERS.

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. TOYOTA'S LETTER STATES NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHILE THEY FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE TO USE IT AS A 5 PASSENGER VEHICLE AND WE NEED TO USE ALL THE SEATS. PLEASE GET TOYOTA/TAKATA TO REPLACE THIS AIRBAG AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

TAKATA RECALL-- THIS REMEDY IS TAKING TOO LONG TO FIX. I NEED EVERY SEAT IN MY VEHICLE SO THE CURRENT SUGGESTION TO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL HI, I DO NOT BELIEVE MY TOYOTA DEALER (DOTSON TOYOTA, AUBURN, WA) OR TOYOTA IS RE-MEDIATING THE AIRBAG DEFECT IN A REASONABLE TIME. NEITHER THE DEALER OR TOYOTA IS ABLE TO PROVIDE ME AN ESTIMATED TIMEFRAME FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG, AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. RECOMMENDING TO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITHOUT AN ESTIMATE TIMEFRAME FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT IS COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC AND UNACCEPTABLE. PLEASE ADVISE.
