2007 TOYOTA YARIS Complaints

TAKATA RECALL : I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA RELATING TO AN AIRBAG ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. AS THEIR INTERIM MEASURE THEY RECOMMEND NOT OPERATING MY VEHICLE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING MY SON TO DRIVE AND I ONLY HAVE THIS CAR. WHY ISN'T TOYOTA PAYING FOR TEMPORARY TRANSPORTATION WHILE THEY COME UP WITH A PROPER REMEDY!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA YARIS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR THE AIR BAGS; HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 09/06/16*LJ

I WAS DRIVING TO MY MOTHERS OFF OF 700 E IN SALT LAKE CITY, DURING TRAFFIC. ALL 3 LANES STOPPED TO LET ME PASS AND AS I WAS TURNING LEFT ANOTHER CAR WAS DRIVING IN THE BIKE LANE AT 45MPH AND WITH OUT TOUCHING THEIR BRAKES SLAMMED INTO MY CAR THROWING ME A FEW FEET. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR I NOTICED MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I REMEMBER THERE BEING A RECALL ON THEM AND LARRY H MILLER DID NO HAVE THE PARTS THEY NEEDED SO THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IF THAT OTHER DRIVE WAS GOING 4-5 MPH FASTER MY SON AND I COULD BE DEAD DO TO NO AIRBAGS. IT JUST WORRIED ME FOR THEM NOT DEPLOYING WHEN THE OTHER DRIVERS THEIR AIRBAGS DEPLOYED JUST FINE.

GOOD AFTERNOON I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA YARIS WITH AROUND 108,000 MILES. I MADE AN APPT WITH A LOCAL DEALER TO GO THRU 3 RECALLS IN MY CAR AND ADDITIONALLY TO CHECK ON MY REAR-DRIVER SEATBELT WHICH IS NOT RETRACTING (IT FAILED ON 6-26-16) . I HAVE READ VARIOUS FORUMS STATING THAT VARIOUS OWNERS OF MY MODEL CAR HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALER FINISHED THE 3 RECALLED ISSUES. THE ISSUE WITH THE REAR SEATBELT WAS RELATED TO A BALL BEARING IN THE SYSTEM THAT WAS NOT ALLOWING FOR THE SEATBELT TO RECOIL. THE DEALER WANTED AROUND $350 TO FIX THE ISSUE. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THE CAR IS NOT NEW BUT AN ITEM THAT IS NEEDED FOR SAFETY SHOULD NOT GO BAD WITHIN A FAIRLY LONG TIMELINE, IT SHOULD AT LEAST OUTLAST THE CAR. I HAVE READ VARIOUS FORUMS WITH PEOPLE COMPLAINING ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A PROBLEM RELATED TO QUALITY AND SAFETY OF THE EQUIPMENT TOYOTA SELLS? ADDITIONAL NOTE: THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX MY CAR'S AIRBAG (TAKATA RECALL) BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS YET. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
