TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA SAYING THAT "TOYOTA HAS COMPLETED PARTS PREPARATION FOR VEHICLES IN YOUR GEOGRAPHIC AREA." YET WHEN I CALLED A NEARBY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WOULDN'T BE AVAILABLE FOR 6-8 WEEKS (EVENTUALLY THE PERSON SAID SHE "OBSERVED THAT THEY ARRIVED IN 4 WEEKS"). IS THIS WHAT IT MEANS FOR PARTS PREPARATION TO BE COMPLETE? TO THEN REQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL 4-8 WEEKS TO ROLL OUT?

"TAKATA RECALL" IT'S BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE MY CAR HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE RECALL LIST (6-15-2015). CLOSE TO ONE YEAR SINCE I GOT THE REMEDY NOTICE (6-1-2016). ACTED QUICKLY TO THE NOTICE. (MADE A APPOINTMENT ON THE WEBSITE WITH ONE DEALERSHIP ON (6-2-16) FOR WORK TO BE DONE ON (6-11-16) FOUND OUT THAT DAY THE PART STILL NEEDS TO BE ORDERED.) NOWHERE IN THE REMEDY NOTICE INFORMED ME THE PART STILL NEED TO BE ORDERED. IT SAID "TOYOTA HAS COMPLETED PARTS PREPARATION FOR MY VEHICLE IN MY GEOGRAPHIC ARE" AND I'M STILL WAITING. CALLED TOYOTA TWICE NOW, FIRST TIME (6-11-16) THEY SAID ONE TO TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE PART IS IN. IT'S NOW BEEN THREE WEEKS, NO CALL FROM TOYOTA, I CALLED ON (6-28-16) AND WAS TOLD ANOTHER TWO WEEKS BEFORE THEY GET THE PART. TOYOTA KNOWING MY CAR WAS DEFECTED SINCE JUNE 15, 2015. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY NOW! I'M STILL WAITING FOR THE PART AND I CAN'T SELL IT! IM DRIVING A TICKING TIME AIR BAG BOMB AND TOYOTA WANTS ME TO WAIT EVEN LONGER? AM I WAITING FOR THIS TO GO OFF BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? HOPE THE METAL FRAGMENTS DON'T FLY IN THE BACK SEAT WHERE MY DOG IS! OR FLY SIDE WAYS AND HIT ME WHEN I'M DRIVING! IT'S ALREADY INCONVENIENCE I CAN'T HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT.

IN 2011 THE ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) WAS REPLACED IN MY 2005 COROLLA AS PART OF A NATIONAL SAFETY RECALL AOJ. IN JUST UNDER 5 YEARS AND 22K MILES LATER THE REPLACED ECM STARTED DEMONSTRATING FAILING SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING MALFUNCTIONING TACHOMETER, ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, AND A/C MALFUNCTIONS. OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE ON THEIR REPLACED ECMS. BASED ON INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR THE ORIGINAL RECALL, THE ORIGINAL ECM ISSUE RELATES TO POOR SOLDERING JOINTS WITHIN THE ECM. THE ISSUE WITH THE REPLACED ECMS IS LIKELY THE SAME, ALTHOUGH THE AFFECTED ELEMENTS WITHIN THE ECM MAY DIFFER FROM OWNER TO OWNER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND ASKED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY COST TO REPLACE THE 2ND ECM BUT THEY REFUSED. I ALSO REQUESTED TO SEND IN THE FAULTY REPLACED ECM FOR DIAGNOSIS AND ANALYSIS, REFERENCING THE ORIGINAL SAFETY RECALL AND HOW THE REPLACED ECM MAY HAVE THE SAME UNDERLYING SOLDERING ISSUES BUT TOYOTA REFUSED THIS COURSE OF ACTION. I CREATED A VIDEO DEMONSTRATING THE ISSUE - YOU CAN SEE IT ON YOUTUBE AT HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=VSL8GYNZSMK (OR SEARCH YOTUBE FOR "2005 COROLLA TACHOMETER ECM ISSUE" IF THE PREVIOUS LINK DOESN'T WORK).
