TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE BUT EVERY TIME I CALL TOYOTA THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS YET. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE.

I WAS ON A DECLINE ON THE OFF RAMP, AND WHEN I WENT TO STOP FOR A LITE, MY BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP MY CAR. I TRIED TO STOP, AND FELT AS IF THE CAR SPED UP. I HAD COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND HAD THEM CHECK MY BREAKS FOUR TIMES BECAUSE OF A STOPPING ISSUE. SHORTLY BEFORE MY CRASH MY BREAKS WOULD SCREECH, AND I THOUGHT IT TO BE DURT ON MY BREAKS, OR BREAK DUST. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO A RECOMMENDED BREAK SHOP TO GET MY BREAKS CHECKED OUT. THEY SAID THE BREAK PADS, RODERS, CALIPERS ETC WERE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH ONLY ONE OR TWO ISSUES. I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE THE RODERS, AND BREAK PADS WITH OEM PARTS. THE ISSUE NOW SITS WITH THE BREAKS BEING DEPRESSED AS HARD AS ONE CAN DEPRESS THEM, ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR NOT STOP, AND FEEL LIKE IT WAS SPEEDING UP. AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH, YOU COULD HEAR THE MOTOAR SPEEDING UP EVEN WITH MY FOOT ONLY ON THE BREAK AND CLEARLY THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER FAILED TO PROVIDE THE REMEDY AND REPAIR PARTS TO THE DEALER WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. THE DEALER (RAY BRANDT TOYOTA, 2460 VETERANS BLVD, KENNER, LA 70062, (504) 464-4500) STORED THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE FOR OVER A YEAR AND INDICATED THAT THEY SERVICED THE VEHICLE MONTHS LATER FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V006000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V340000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF BOTH REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED. IN ADDITION, THE HEADLAMP LENSES WERE FOGGY, THE FOG LIGHTS HAD WATER INTRUSION, THE RUBBER MOLDING AROUND ALL OF THE WINDOWS WAS DRY ROTTED, AND THE DASHBOARD HAD DENTS AND AN IMPRINT THAT WERE UNABLE TO BE REMOVED. THE DEALER FAILED TO REMEDY THE ADDITIONAL FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A CASE MANAGER WAS ASSIGNED. THE CONTACT MADE NUMEROUS CALLS TO THE MANUFACTURER, BUT HAD NOT RECEIVED A RESOLUTION FOR OVER A YEAR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BACK AND KNEE INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. ON OCTOBER 9, TOYOTA, PHARR, TEXAS LOCATION REPLACED THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. YOUR WEBSITE STATES THAT IF THE AIRBAG, DEEMED DEFECTIVE, WERE TO DEPLOY, WOULD CAUSE HARM TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR. DOES THIS MEAN THAT IF THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, IS NOT DEFECTIVE, AND THUS, ON IMPACT, WOULD NOT SHOOT DEADLY SCHRAPNEL ONTO THE OCCUPANT????? SOMEHOW, IT SEEMS THAT IF THE PASSENGER SIDE IS DEFECTIVE, WOULD NOT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG ALSO BE DEFECTIVE?

TAKATA RECALL. THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING HOW LONG IT IS TAKING FOR A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL TO BECOME AVAILABLE TO ME. SERIOUSLY IT'S BEEN MONTHS AND IF THE PROPELLANT HAS ACTUALLY KILLED AND INJURED PEOPLE THEN I NEED TO GET MY CAR FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO I AM NOT PUTTING MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS AT RISK.
