TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA MATRIX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE COULD BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

TAKATA RECALL, CALLED DEALERSHIP 6 MONTHS AGO BEEN ON A WAITING LIST EVER SINCE. YET, THE RECALL ASK YOU NOT TO DRIVE YOUR CAR BUT YOU HAVE TO DRIVE IT TO GET TO WORK. I KNOW THE LETTER IS TO PROTECT TOYOTA BUT WHAT ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT PURCHASED THE CAR IN GOOD FAITH. WHEN WILL THEY HAVE ENOUGH AIR BAGS FOR ME TO GET OFF THE WAITING LIST 6 MONTHS IS WAY TOO LONG TO BE WAITING.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION 6 MONTHS AGO THAT NO PASSENGERS COULD SAFELY SIT IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AS A RESULT OF THE TAKATA RECALL. SINCE THEN, MY PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN ON SEVERAL UNCOMFORTABLE LONG, 5+ HOUR FREQUENT TRIPS, OR I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE MY CAR FOR THOSE TRIPS. AFTER 6 MONTHS, I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT THE PARTS CAN BE FIXED. SINCE I LIVE IN A BUSY CITY AND WOULD TYPICALLY RIDE WITH PASSENGERS, MY CAR HAS BECOME UNSAFE AND USELESS FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN OCCASIONAL LONE TRIPS. I AM SHOCKED THAT NO OTHER REMEDY HAS BEEN OFFERED TO HELP THOSE IMPACTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL. *JS

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 6 MONTHS SINCE WE RECEIVED THE INTERIM RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING SINCE. TOYOTA IS ACTING IN AN UNETHICAL AND DANGEROUS MANNER BY TAKING SO LONG TO REMEDY THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL DEFECT. AS A COUPLE THAT ALMOST ALWAYS TRAVELS TOGETHER IN THE COROLLA, WE HAVE BEEN DENIED THE USE OF OUR VEHICLE BY TOYOTA. THIS IS A LOSS AND WE ARE BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY TOYOTA. BECAUSE, WE MIGHT AS WELL NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE, BUT CAN'T IN GOOD CONSCIENCE UNLOAD IT ON SOMEONE ELSE. THE INTERIM RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA CALLS IT AN 'INCONVENIENCE' AND WARNS US NOT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH A PASSENGER. WE HAVE BEEN PATIENT, BUT OUR PATIENCE IS AT AN END. NOW, WE ARE ANGRY AND IT IS ONLY REASONABLE THAT IF OUR TOYOTA IS NOT REPAIRED IN THE NEXT 60 DAYS, WE WILL AVAIL OURSELVES OF EVERY LEGAL AND ETHICAL MEANS TO BE COMPENSATED FOR OUR LOSS AND THE UNTENABLE AND DANGEROUS SITUATION TOYOTA HAS PUT (AND KEPT) US IN.

TAKATA RECALL TOYOTA SAFETY RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED AUGUST 13, 2015 STATING "WE ARE CURRENTLY PREPARING PARTS FOR YOUR LOCATION; WE WILL SEND YOU ANOTHER NOTIFICATION ONCE SUFFICIENT PARTS HAVE BEEN PRODUCED AND REMEDY CAN BE PERFORMED. UNTIL THEN, RECOMMENDED NO OCCUPANT IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." AS OF TODAY 12/28/2015 (ALMOST 5 MONTHS AFTER RECEIVING RECALL NOTICE) TOYOTA HAS NOT NOTIFIED ME THE REMEDY CAN BE PERFORMED. THEREFORE, I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BEC TOYOTA HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, KNOWINGLY JEOPARDIZING SAFETY.
