2007 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL" I TOOK MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA IN FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL TO CENTENNIAL TOYOTA IN LAS VEGAS, NV , THE SERVICE AGENT LET ME KNOW THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT STILL REMAINED ON AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE WAS COMPLETED. A $ 150 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE WAS GOING TO BE APPLIED TO FIND WHAT ELSE BE WRONG WITH THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT ON THE COROLLA. I MADE CONTACT WITH TOYOTA CORPORATION TO EXPLAIN THE DILEMMA.(800) 331-4331 I SPOKE WITH KRISTINA AND WAS INFORMED THAT RECALL SITUATION HAS BEEN FIX AND IF I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT OTHER SAFETY ISSUES I MIGHT BE HAVING WITH THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT BEING ON, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.. I WILL GET THE DIAGNOSTIC DONE, AND REPORT THE OTHER FAILED SAFETY DEVICES NOT COVERED BY RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL I BROUGHT OUR 2007 COROLLA INTO PAULY TOYOTA IN CRYSTAL LAKE ILLINOIS ON APRIL 25, 2016 BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE RECALL. IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING IT, THEIR MECHANIC BROKE A PART AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A NEW REPLACEMENT PART. IT IS NOW SEPT. 29, 2016 AND THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART YET. THE NEXT ESTIMATED DATE THE DEALERSHIP MAY RECEIVE THE PART IS THE END OF OCTOBER. AS OF NOW MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THEIR PARKING LOT FOR 5 MONTHS. OBVIOUSLY THE END OF OCT WILL BE 6 MONTHS. THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER TELLS ME I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON OR WHEN I MAY GET MY CAR BACK. I FEEL TOYOTA IS NOT BEING UPFRONT WITH INFORMATION AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW MORE THAN THE INDIVIDUAL DEALERSHIPS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS INFORMATION FOR ME. THANK YOU! *TR

TAKATA RECALL: TOYOTA IS FREQUENTLY MAILING ME REMINDERS AND MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS ADVISING ME TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER TO REPAIR A DEFECT THAT COULD SPRAY BITS OF METAL AROUND THE CABIN. I AM ON THE "LIST" AT MY DEALER AND THEY TELL ME IT COULD BE TWO MONTHS OR LONGER BEFORE THEY GET THE PARTS. WHEN I CALLED THE TOYOTA RECALL PEOPLE TODAY THEY SAID AT ANOTHER DEALER THE ESTIMATED WAIT FOR PARTS WAS 14 WEEKS. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? I AM SURE THAT ALL OF THESE NOTICES ARE MERELY TO MEET SOME REQUIREMENT THAT THE NHTSA HAS PLACED ON THEM. WHY DON'T WE JUST FIX THE CAR!

TAKATA RECALL AN OBSERVATION. WE ARE CURRENTLY 50TH ON A RECALL REPAIR LIST AT OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, WITH REPLACEMENT PARTS ARRIVING THERE AT A RATE OF 4-8 PER WEEK. THE RECALL REPAIR MAY NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL NOVEMBER. MEANWHILE, WE ARE DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND CANNOT CARRY ANY PASSENGERS. WE OWN THREE TOYOTA VEHICLES IN OUR FAMILY BUT HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE COMPANY AND WON'T BUY ONE OF THEIR CARS AGAIN.
