2005 TOYOTA COROLLA MATRIX Complaints

JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH A CHAIN AT TOYOTA (18003314331) HE SAID THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THAT TYPE OF VEHICLE. PASSENGER AIR BAG. NO TIME FRAME EITHER FOR WHEN I CAN GET MY PART. HE IS SORRY. REALLY. I NEED A CAR. HE WOULD NOT LEASE ME A CAR EITHER FOR FREE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA MATRIX. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V025000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED SMART MOTORS TOYOTA (5901 ODANA RD, MADISON, WI 53719, (608) 275-7808) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THREE TIMES TO THE SAME DEALER, BUT THE PART WAS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER GAVE THE PART TO SOMEONE ELSE THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME, A USED AIR BAG PART WAS TEMPORARILY INSTALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER COMING OFF OF A HIGHWAY EXIT, AND CAR STALLED. BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. RESTARTED IGNITION AND CAR WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MILES. STALLED AGAIN AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN. STRONGLY BELIEVE ECM IS FAULTY. COULD BE CONNECTED TO TOYOTA RECALL 10V384000.

TAKATA RECALL ELMORE TOYOTA IN WESTMINSTER, CA. FLAT OUT LIED TO ME ABOUT MY AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. ELMORE TOYOTA IS USING DECEITFUL TACTICS, AND POSSIBLY, UNLAWFUL PRACTICES. I TOOK MY CAR TO ELMORE ON 08/19/2015 FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. AT THAT TIME, I TOLD THE SERVICE GUY TO CHECK THE MOLDING AROUND MY WINDOWS, IT'S STARTING TO COME OUT, AND NEEDS TO BE TUCKED BACK IN A FEW SPOTS. AND I ASKED HIM TO GIVE ME AN OIL CHANGE WHILE IT WAS THERE. THEY DIDN'T HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS ON HAND, SO THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR, AND TOLD ME, WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARRIVE, THEY'LL LET ME KNOW. I CALL A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK TO CHECK ON MY CAR, NOT A SINGLE RETURNED CALL FROM ELMORE. THREE FULL MONTHS GO BY, AND I GET A VOICE MESSAGE FROM ELMORE TELLING ME THAT MY CAR WAS READY, HE SAID TO COME PICK IT UP, AND THAT THEY WON'T PAY ANYMORE DAYS ON THE RENTAL. IT'S MONDAY 11/23/15, I WASH, WAX, AND GAS UP THE RENTAL, AND TAKE IT TO ELMORE. NOBODY CAN FIND MY CAR. NOBODY CAN FIND THE GUY WHO CALLED ME ABOUT IT BEING READY FOR PICK UP. IT WASN'T IN THE COMPUTER. I WAIT, AND WAIT. 45 MINUTES LATER, A SERVICE GUY PULLS UP IN MY CAR, AND IT'S COVERED WITH BIRD CRAP, AND A (3) MONTH LAYER OF DIRT. MY CAR IS WASHED, AND WAXED, ONCE A WEEK. IT WAS IMMACULATE WHEN I TOOK IT TO ELMORE. OBVIOUSLY, MY CAR SAT OUTSIDE ON THEIR LOT FOR (3) MONTHS. I LOOK AND SEE THAT NOTHING WAS DONE WITH THE MOLDING, SO I ASK IF THE OIL WAS CHANGED, HE DIDN'T KNOW. HE SAID, "ALL I KNOW IS, THEY FIXED THE AIRBAG". I ASKED HIM FOR THE PAPERWORK ON MY CAR, THAT SHOWS WHAT WORK WAS REQUESTED, AND WHAT WORK WAS DONE. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY AFTER I WAITED A OTHER 30 MIN. I WENT HOME AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE GUY AT ELMORE AND LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES, AND EMAILS, EXPLAINING THAT THEY DIDN'T DO THE MOLDING, OR OIL, MY CAR WAS FILTHY, AND NO PAPERWORK. PLEASE GET IT AND CALL ME. NOTHING.*DT*DT CONSUMER STATED ISSUES WITH AIRBAG STILL NOT RESOLVED AND DEALER STILL HAS NOT CONTACTED CONSUMER.*JB*JB

AIRBAG RECALL AND THE "AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED" STARTED. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED IN THE 2003 ' 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING REPLACEMENT RECALL. IT WAS RECALLED FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT AND DURING THAT TIME THE PALO ALTO TOYOTA MECHANIC TRIED TO FIX THE LIGHT BUT COULD NOT FIND THE APPROPRIATE SOLUTION. NOW MY CAR IS RECALLED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND REMAINS ILLUMINATED.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR - THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK WORKS SOMETIMES, MOST TIMES IT DOESN'T. ALL THE OTHER ELECTRIC LOCKS IN THE CAR CONTINUE TO WORK.

TAKATA RECALL (POSSIBLY) SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND NOW IT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES AFTER STARTUP. ALSO, PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STATES "OFF" AT ALL TIMES. IT APPEARS ALL AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED. VEHICLE WENT TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER 3/2/16 FOR AIR BAG RECALL/ISSUES. APPEARS PROBLEM NOT RESOLVED. ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT DEALER AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA MATRIX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V384000 (ENGINE), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL. TOYOTA SAYS I SHOULD NOT DRIVE MY CAR WITHOUT REPLACING THE AIR BAG. THEIR DEALER HAS NO PARTS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING 6 MONTHS. THEY CONTINUE TO BUG ME TO FIX THE CAR. THEY FAIL TO PROVIDE PARTS. I CANNOT GET A RESOLUTION.
