2005 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL AFTER I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA IT SAID REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER FOLLOWUP LETTER WHEN AVAILABLE. I NEVER RECEIVED ONE. I CALLED THE DEALER ON 11-5-15 TO FOLLOW UP AND THEY SAID NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE YET.. I CALL 4-4-16 AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS AVAILABLE AND TO GET IT FIXED MY OPTIONS WERE LEAVE THE CARE FOR 4-6 HOURS AND RENT A CAR OR HAVE A POSSIBILITY OF WAITING FOR THEIR SHUTTLE THAT HAS A 10 MILE LIMIT. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL OR MISS WORK TO HAVE THIS REPAIR DONE. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA CORPORATE WHICH I DID. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT, YES, RETNTALS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SUPPLED AND THEY HAD ME TALK WITH A PERSON AT THE NEXT LEVEL TO HOPEFULLY WORK IT OUT. I WAS TOLD BY THIS LEVEL PERSON THAT THEY ONLY SUPPLIED RENTALS FOR PEOPLE WHO REQUESTED THEM PRIOR TO A REMEDY AND PARTS AVAILABLE. I CONFIRMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE PAID FOR A RENTAL FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT WON'T PAY FOR ONE FOR ONE DAY? THEY SAID THAT WAS CORRECT. . I CANNOT AFFORD A RENTAL CAR OR TAKING TIE OFF WORK TO GET THIS FIXED. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE?

TAKATA RECALL - TOYOTA LETTER RECEIVED (BLOOMINGTON INDIANA) STATING THEY COMPLETED PARTS PREP FOR MY GEOGRAPHICAL REGION AND TO CONTACT A DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT. I CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD TOYOTA HAD PLACED A 3 PER WEEK LIMIT AND THAT THE DEALER WOULD NEED TO ORDER AND EXPECT DELIVERY IN TWO WEEKS. THAT TO ME IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE LEGAL NONSENSE OF NOT HAVING A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IS ANNOYING SINCE THIS HAS BEEN DRAGGING OUT FOR A VERY LONG TIME. SURELY THERE ARE OTHER MANUFACTURERS THAT COULD MAKE REPLACEMENT. SEEMS TO ME NO ONE IS TAKING THIS WITH ANY SENSE OF URGENCY.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2005 TOYOTA MATRIX IN THE MAIL OVER 9 MONTHS AGO STATING THAT WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, TOYOTA WILL REACH OUT TO ME TO "REMEDY THE DEFECT". AND THAT IN THE THE MEANTIME "UNTIL THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE IN MY LOCATION, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT I DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FURTHER NOTIFICATIONS REGARDING THIS AND BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. PLEASE LET ME KNOW AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE WHEN I CAN EXPECT TO HAVE THIS REMEDIED.
