Is the car safe since the airbag recall takata said that the cannot accept or deny it and toyota said they did not know ask takata. i saw the class action lawsuit and they sent me the card for 9997 at the start lile they were going to buy back my car or cut me a check so i could squash it and get another one. please

Takata recall please note this is not a report of an accident. i have just learned that toyota corolla model years 2003 to 2005 had airbags replaced which are now deemed to be defective. i am making this report to advise that there has been no valid communication from "info@airbags" (settlement notice administrator) to date. it has been over one year and there has been no valid response from "[email protected]; takata settlement". see below email from them: thank you. your 'registration/claim form has been successfully submitted. your confirmation code is: [xxx]. please keep this code for your records. sincerely, settlement notice administrator information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Received notice of settlement

Takata airbags/ while the car was in motion slowly turning into a parking space, the airbags deployed. the airbags impeded the driver from controlling the car and caused a crash into a building. this happened on a private parking lot. the car had recently been serviced for the takata recall. nothing was struck to engage the impact sensors. the road and parking lot was free from obstacles. we want to know if non compliant service for the airbag recall created a failure which caused the airbags to deploy. we are having the car inspected by toyota and want to know if an impartial inspector can be present to oversee the procedure.

I brought my car to toyota due to a recall (sra, ecu). after toyota performed work the seat belt audible alarm does not function and is therefore dangerous. toyota could not find problem after spending six hours. driving without functioning seat belt alarm is dangerous. i have copies of toyota dealer work orders. dealer will not fix problem they caused by installing the recall.. toyota usa refuses to fix it. i would not ever have a recall by manufactuer done again. too dangerous. ## vin passed ## toyota carolla 2004 ##

Takata recall: i took my toyota corolla in for the seat belt recalls. the seat belt light was not on when i took it in for repair. after repair the seat belt light was on. the obdii code is b1182 ' short in d squib circuit to ground. the airbag (srs) light may illuminate with code b1177 and/or b1182, related to the front seat belt pre-tensioners. the dealership says they did the recall repair and the light being on is my problem. the pretensioners are related to the recall. how do i know, who do i ask who do i go to (and trust) whether the recall repair was done ' if at all. why is the light on after repair and not before? seeking to understand.

This car has been donated to kars 4 kids in 2015. it was no longer running as the engine had seized due to lack of motor oil. it no longer belongs to please take me off the database as the owner. i am not responsible for this car. i have informed toyota and the motor vehicle department of this many times.

I looked up my vehicles recalls and noticed that there is one related to airbags. coincidently i do have an air bag light lit on my car and it seems like my model year is susceptible to shorts in the system. i contacted the dealer and they told me that they have a 6 week or more wait on the recall and they will contact me. i find this to unacceptable for a safety feature.

Takata recall i contacted my dealer in may 2016 to schedule the srs/ecu repair and was told they needed to order the parts. i called the dealer july 11 and was told the srs part was not available and it could be sometime maybe months before the parts would be available. he stated it was takata's fault and there was nothing the dealer could do. i would like to know if what the dealer is telling me is correct.

Takata recall: i was told that the recall takes 3 hours. i can not be without a car for 3 hours. i tried to call the nearest toyota dealership and they couldn't even schedule this appointment over the phone. they said they were busy and would have to have an "adviser" call me back. i will need a rental car paid for in order to get this service done. i would think that this would the utmost of importance and systems/personnel would be in place to handle this more efficiently and more timely. since this is the manufacturers' negligence, i expect toyota to deliver on it's legal commitment to pay for all costs associated with this burden. if it takes 3 hours, i need a rental car for 3 hours.

Toyota sent an 'urgent safety recall' concerning the srs ecu on my toyota. the letter stated: 'this is an important safety recall; toyota has prepared sufficient parts for vehicles registered in your location.' i scheduled an appointment with authorized toyota dealer charles barker toyota in virginia beach, va, and scheduled an appointment to have the work performed. i left the car for the required work, and picked it up later. i stopped at a store on the way home and called my wife, and she told me that the service people had called and said they had to order a part. up to this point, no one had explained to me that the repairs had not been made to my car and that i would need to schedule it for a return visit. i called and spoke to service advisor derrick williams, and he told me that they do not stock the computers and have to order them. toyota has not prepared sufficient parts for vehicles registered in my area, and it is preposterous that toyota expects me to bring my car back for a second service call to replace a part that should be stocked.

Takata recall.

Takata recall i keep receiving recall notices, but when i call the dealership, they act like they don't know what i am talking about and when i call the 1800 number they act like everything is taken care of. then the dealership calls and they don't know what is going on again. i have given up on the safety recall for the time being. i hope that as time passes the system will get smoothed out where this can actually get fixed, maybe. it does not seem that fixing the airbag issues are a serious priority in person, only on paper.

Received safety recall notice (for srs / ecu). i called local dealer delray beach, florida to make an appointment. they say they will not order the needed parts unless i first bring the car in for their inspection ? this sounds to me like a run around, either my car needs to be recalled or not. are two appointments required for safety recalls or not ? thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Got the takata recall. last spring, we received a letter from motorcars toyota, cleveland heights that they had the parts so we made an appointment. when we arrived at the appointment we were told they did not have the parts and we would be informed when they were in. never received a letter. this month received another notice of recall. contacted motorcars toyota again. they said that they did not have the parts and would not for 2 months. we contacted another dealership in cleveland, metro toyota, and they made an appointment the following friday, then did the repair. clearly motorcars toyota is not pursuing this recall like other dealerships. if someone in the cleveland hts area is hurt as a result, we would be happy to testify against motorcars toyota.

There is a real concern that there is an issue with the airbags and there are no parts readily available to resolve what we are being told is a dangerous situation. families are being told to not use the front seat of their cars. another option is to ask the dealer for a loaner. i don't see the dealer having that many loaner cars. most families only have one car and it needs to accommodate the members, which is our situation. we are really concerned about the timeliness of this resolution.

I am told by the dealer that there is no fix available for this air bag recall. i feel that i am driving on wing and a prayer. i will have to inform any passenger of this problem and that they would be riding at their on risk. this is a huge problem that has been known about for a long time and should have been resolved by now. your sharholders should be more interested in saving lives than the dividends they receive.
