I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE, BUT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THERE ARE NO PARTS TO REPAIR IT. I AM NOW RECEIVING LETTERS FROM TOYOTA SAYING I'M NOT TAKING CARE OF THE PROBLEM! HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS? THE DEALERSHIP IS IN ELK GROVE, CALIFORNIA. *TR

WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY 2003 TOYOTA MATRIX DEPLOYED STRIKING ME IN THE HEAD/CHEST AREA. STUNNED AND DISORIENTED, I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL A GOOD SAMARITAN HELPED ME OUT OF THE CAR. SHE WAS TELLING ME TO EXIT THE CAR, HOWEVER, MY SEATBELT HAD RETRACTED AND LOCKED WITH SUCH TENSION, THAT I WAS BARELY ABLE TO REACH ACROSS AND PRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON. AFTER THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED AS WELL, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS ONE OR TWO SUBSEQUENT EXPLOSIONS - I AM UNSURE WHAT THOSE NOISES WERE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. A POLICE OFFICER WAS NEARBY AND HEARD THE EXPLOSION AND CAME OVER TO CHECK ON THE SITUATION. HE TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF, BUT THE HORN WAS STUCK AND CONTINUED TO HONK - HE THEN DECIDED TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON, WHICH STOPPED THE HONKING OF THE HORN. THE CAR WAS STILL ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND AN OFFICER DROVE THE CAR ACROSS THE STREET TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. MY CAR STILL SITS IN THE LOT WHERE TOYOTA HAS PERFORMED INSPECTIONS, DIAGNOSTIC TESTS, DOWNLOADED DATA AND COMPILED A REPORT (OF WHICH I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A COPY OF) THAT HAS BEEN SENT TO TOYOTA LEGAL. IRONICALLY, I RECEIVED A RECALL IN THE MAIL ONE WEEK AFTER THE INCIDENT FOR AN SRS / ECU RECALL. *TR
