2003 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL ALL DEALERS I CONTACTED HAVE A "AT LEAST ONE MONTH, LIKELY TWO MONTH" WAITING LIST FOR THIS RECALL REPAIR. CONSIDERING THE NOTICE STATES "UNTIL THE REMEDY IS PERFORMED, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT," THE TIME FRAME SEEMS EXCESSIVE. THEY ALL NOTED IT WAS DUE TO A DELAY IN RECEIVING THE PARTS.

RECALL INCOMPLETE. PARTS ARE NEVER AVAILABLE. DEALERS ALWAYS HAVE THEM BACK-ORDERED.

TAKATA RECALL I'M NOT CONFIDENT THAT TOYOTA IS ADEQUATELY SOLVING THE AIRBAG ISSUE AS I'VE RECEIVED MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES. DURING THE INITIAL RECALL I DISCUSSED WITH TOYOTA THAT THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE AIRBAGS IF THERE IS ANY CONCERN OVER QUALITY. THEY DID NOT DO THAT AND STATED THAT AFTER INSPECTION I WAS NOT AFFECTED. SINCE THEN I'VE RECEIVED MORE RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE RESALE VALUE OF MY CAR, BOTH OF WHICH TOYOTA HAS PUT AT SERIOUS RISK. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY ARE TAKING THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY NOR ATTEMPTING TO SOLVE IT IN A TIMELY AND PROPER MANNER.
