2007 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V285000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTE ON THE MAIL INFORMING ME OF AN AIR BAG RECALL ON THE TOYOTA COROLLA I DRIVE, WHERE THEY STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO FIX IT IMMEDIATELY AND NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR ON THOSE CONDITIONS. THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM ON THE NOTE STATED THAT ANY AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER WILL REPLACE THE PART AT NO CHARGE. I CONTACTED ARLINGTON TOYOTA DEALER IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA WHERE THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WAS GOING TO CALL ME BACK AND NEVER DID. AFTER A FEW WEEKS I DECIDED TO CALL THEM BACK AND THEY TOLD ME THE PART IS IN BACK ORDER AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET IT. THEY WERE RUDE AND NOT INTERESTED IN FIXING THE PROBLEM AT ALL. I DECIDED TO CALL ANOTHER DEALER IN THE AREA, COGGINS TOYOTA AT THE AVENUES IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA, AND THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AGAIN AND TOLD ME MY PART WILL ARRIVED IN TWO WEEKS. AFTER WAITING A MONTH FOR THEM TO CALL ME, I DECIDED TO CALL THEM BACK WHERE A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, AND I COULD WAIT SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE THE PART GETS THERE. I FOUND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT AFTER GETTING A SERIOUS RECALL NOTE ON THE MAIL WHERE THEY STATE THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIX IMMEDIATELY, AND THERE IS THE POTENTIAL OF A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, NOTHING CAN GET DONE. I NEED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND IT IS VERY SCARY I COULD POTENTIALLY PUT MYSELF OR MY FAMILY IN DANGER EVERY TIME I DO. THE RECALL STATES THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR THE INTRUSION OF MOISTURE OVER TIME IN THE AIR BAG. LIVING IN FLORIDA AND HAVING AN OLD CAR INCREASE THE CHANCES OF THAT TO HAPPENS. NOT DRIVING THE CAR IS NOT A SOLUTION. IF THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND RECOMMEND NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR, THEY SHOULD GIVE A CAR RENTAL AT NO CHARGE TO PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM UNTIL THEY FIX IT.
