2007 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL- I'VE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO HAVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED ON MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP (FOLSOM LAKE TOYOTA, 12747 FOLSOM BLVD, FOLSOM CA 95630) HAS BEEN VERY UNCOOPERATIVE IN MAKING THIS AIRBAG REPLACEMENT OCCUR. WHEN I INITIALLY CONTACTED THEM APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO, THEY STATED THAT THE AIRBAG PART HAD TO BE ORDERED AND THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN IT HAD ARRIVED. I WAITED A MONTH AND NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK. WHEN I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN, THEY DID STATE THE PART WAS IN. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING IT IN AND HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED, THEY STATED THAT THEIR APPOINTMENT SYSTEM (COMPUTER) WAS NOT ALLOWING AN APPOINTMENT TO BE MADE. IT APPEARS THAT THIS CAR DEALERSHIP IS NOT INTERESTED IN REPAIRING SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE CARS THAT THEY SELL AND ARE MAKING EXCUSES NOT TO DO THESE REPAIRS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V285000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, HERITAGE TOYOTA, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT "CONTRARY TO THE LETTER YOU RECEIVED, WE DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL." THEY TOOK THE INFORMATION AND PUT ME ON A WAITING LIST THAT THEY ESTIMATED WOULD BE AT LEAST A COUPLE OF MONTHS BEFORE MY VEHICLE COULD BE REPAIRED

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE A YEAR AGO. CALLED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP A MONTH AGO. SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART. CALLED AGAIN, JUNE 9. PART STILL NOT IN. THIS RECALL, IF NOT FIXED COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DANGER TO THE PASSENGER. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS TAKING OVER A YEAR TO FIX A DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V285000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL. I UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS RECALL AND HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR OVER A YEAR GET IT SERVICED. I KEEP BEING TOLD THAT THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT MATERIALS. I WOULD LIKE INCREASE THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE (THE ONE MY CHILDREN DRIVE!) IN THE MEANTIME. I WANT TO REPLACE WITH A DIFFERENT AIRBAG, TURN OFF THE AIRBAG OR REMOVE THE AIRBAG UNTIL IT CAN BE SAFELY SERVICED. I AM GETTING NO HELP FROM ANYONE AND NEED ADVICE AS TO WHAT TO DO. SITTING IN THE BACKSEAT IS NOT AN OPTION WHEN THERE ARE OFTEN FIVE PEOPLE! I KNOW THIS LIKELY ISN'T THE RIGHT PLACE TO COMPLAIN, BUT I AM TALKING TO EVERYONE. I TALKED TO ICBC (INSURANCE PROVIDER) TODAY WHO IS TAKING THIS VERY SERIOUSLY AS THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY DEATHS OR INJURIES. WHAT DO I DO?
