TAKATA RECALL. I GOT A LETTER FROM TOYOTA INSTRUCTING ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. I CONTACTED PRIORITY TOYOTA OF SPRINGFIELD, VA. 7601 LOISDALE RD, SPRINGFIELD, VA 22150 TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. AFTER I PROVIDED THE VIN, THEY INSTRUCTED ME THAT I MUST BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A PRE-INSPECTION, THEN THEY WILL ORDER THE PART, WHICH WILL TAKE A WEEK TO ARRIVE, THEN I CAN BRING THE CAR BACK AND WAIT FOR THE REPAIR WHICH WILL TAKE 3-4 HOURS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. TOYOTA HAS A FAULTY PART AND THEY NEED TO MAKE IT RIGHT WITH CUSTOMERS, NOT MAKE US JUMP THROUGH A BUNCH OF HOOPS. THE RECALL NOTICE CLEARLY STATES NOT TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE REPAIR IS MADE.

IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 2 YEARS SINCE I DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS ON RECALL. TOYOTA DEALER IS STILL SAYING IT COULD BE UP TO 1 MORE YEAR BEFORE THEY CAN GET IT REPLACED.

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN SEPTEMBER 2015 ABOUT MY CAR HAVING A RECALL ON IT'S AIRBAGS. TOYOTA SAID THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THEY HAD THE PART IN. I WAITED UNTIL JANUARY 2016. I CALLED MY TOYOTA DEALER IN JANUARY AND ASKED THEM IF THE PART WAS IN YET. THEY SAID NO AND THAT I HAD TO ORDER THE PART. PRIOR TO THIS, MY ORIGINAL LETTER DID NOT TELL ME THAT I NEEDED TO ORDER A PART. IT SIMPLY TOLD ME TO WAIT FOR A CALL FROM TOYOTA WHEN THE PART WAS IN. SO THEN THEY ORDERED THE PART IN JANUARY. IN MARCH, I STILL HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING. I CALLED AND ASKED ABOUT MY PART AND THEY SAID THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE IT. I FINALLY RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING MY PART WAS READY ON MAY 23RD 2016. I CALLED MY TOYOTA DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THE SERVICE RECEPTIONIST I SPOKE WITH WAS VERY SHORT AND RUDE WITH ME. SHE TOLD ME THAT MY PART WAS STILL NOT IN AND THAT SHE HAD NO WAY OF TELLING ME WHEN IT WOULD ARRIVE. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2015. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT ALMOST AN ENTIRE YEAR FOR MY RECALL TO BE FIXED. I AM STILL WAITING AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN MY TOYOTA DEALER WILL BE ABLE TO FIX MY CAR.

TAKATA RECALL. IN REGARDS TO MY RECALL AIRBAG REPAIR, WHY IS IT THAT MY 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA ALREADY HAD THE REPAIR PERFORMED? SEEMS I GET A DIFFERENT ANSWER EVERYTIME I ASK THAT QUESTION. NOW MY 2005 COROLLA MATRIX WHICH IS CURRENTLY 11 YEARS OLD IS FINALLY HAVING THIS REPAIR PERFORMED. AND TOYOTA'S RECOMMENDATION IS THAT I DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHAT ABOUT THE PREVIOUS 11 YEARS THAT RODE IN THAT SEAT WITH THE SAME DEFECT? IF TOYOTA TRULY CARED ABOUT MY SAFETY, THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE THAT SUGGESTION WHEN THEY FIRST KNEW OF IT. BUT THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE SOLD VERY MANY 4 PASSENGER COROLLAS SET-UP WITH 3 PEOPLE IN THE BACK SEAT AND ONLY THE DRIVER SITTING IN FRONT. HECK, TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS THEY SHOULD HAVE REMOVED THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OR REMOVED THE BACK OF THAT SEAT ALONG WITH THE SEAT-BELT TO GUARANTEE NOBODY RIDES IN THAT SEAT. BUT NONE OF THOSE THINGS HAPPENED SIMPLY BECAUSE TRUTH BE TOLD, IT ONLY BECAME A SAFETY ISSUE ONCE TOYOTA HAD TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE DEFECT; THEIR BEHAVIOR IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE. A SINCERE APOLOGY WOULD STATE "FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES THIS HAS CAUSED." INSTEAD OF "WE SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS WILL CAUSE, BUT WE ARE TAKING THIS ACTION TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY." CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN LIE IS WHAT REALLY OCCURRED AGAIN IF THEY TRULY CARED WE WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ASAP.....THE PEOPLE I FEEL THE MOST PAIN FOR ARE THOSE UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE WHO GOT INTO A FRONT CAR ACCIDENT AND DID EVERYTHING RIGHT, BUT THEIR AIRBAG, THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO SAVE THEIR LIFE, WOUND UP EITHER INJURING THEM OR NOT DOING ITS INTENDED JOB ALL WHILE TOYOTA KNEW OF THE PROBLEM. I HOPE NOBODY LOST THEIR LIFE DUE TO THIS BECAUSE NO AMOUNT OF MONEY CAN EVER BRING BACK THAT PERSON. JUST SO UN-JAPANESE BEHAVIOR BY A JAPANESE COMPANY, SHAME TOYOTA MOTORS. *TR
