I called the local toyota dealer. toyota of gastonia. 1.704.824.7777 and the manager.. [xxx] asked why the owner could not bring the car in to the dealership and leave it. and i told them the owner [xxx]. has copd and is on oxygen. and could not wait 3-4 hours.. and she said well if he can not drive couple hours. why is he even going to fix the air bag?/ information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

In response to the recent recall, i scheduled an appointment at round rock toyota. i was told they would not complete the repair because "the new ones have been recalled also" and to wait until next year. they refused to remedy.

I got a recall notice on my vehicle a few months back about airbags so i looked it up on this site and it says i have no recalls on my vehicle the airbag light has been on since i've got the truck but i thought it was a electrical issue but now after receiving the recall notice and reading the recall it really has me worried for the safety of me my wife and my children i would really like some information on the airbag recall and the suspension recall my vehicle has a lot of the same issues as the recall points out

We had the takata airbag recall service performed on our tundra on 12/19/14. then, just a coupe weeks ago in june 2017, the airbag light came on when my husband was driving to work on the highway, and the light has not gone off since. we took it to a local auto shop to diagnose this past weekend, and they said it was an issue relating to the airbag recall service--they said they've seen this numerous times now, all in vehicles that had the airbag recall service done. some of the common red flags they made us aware of were: horn is not working, as well as the cruise control. we took it to palm beach toyota in west palm beach, florida, this morning, and they diagnosed it as a spiral cable assembly that needs to be replaced--at a cost to us of $700 plus tax. that is something that should be covered under the recall, since it appears to be such a common occurance, it's obvious that this stems from the airbag recall service.

My husband and i were completely stopped, waiting to turn left in a suicide left turn lane in the city. a car suddenly entered the turn lane, headed straight towards us. i honked but the other driver did it brake or swerve, impacting us at a high rate of speed. our air bags did not deploy....updated 02/23/17 *bf updated 03/01/17 *bf updated 9/5/18*jb

Takata recall : toyota and toyota dealership in nassau bahamas refuse to be responsible for transporting the vehicle from the island of eleuthera bahamas to the island of nassau and then returning the vehicle. we live in the bahamas and there is no dealership on the island of eleuthera, we do not want to drive the vehicle and according to the recall notice "if you are uncomfortable driving the vehicle to the dealership, please contact your authorized toyota dealer who will arrange for vehicle pickup." both toyota and the toyota dealership are refusing to do the pickup.

Takata recall i called in to my local toyota dealership about having the defective airbag replaced and it has been 3 weeks since we called in. they still have yet to call us back to inform us that our parts have come and when we call they just tell us that they have not received the parts for the fix. worried about my passengers safety and i have not other way of transportation to wait any longer for it to be fixed.

Takata recall i have tried since aug. 2015 to get my husband's truck to a dealer to have the airbag replaced. every time i call to make an appt. i am told they don't have the replacements in and will put his name on a call list. i have yet to receive a call. i call about every couple weeks. i keep getting letters and post cards asking me to get this fixed, but if toyota isn't sending the replacement bags how can i get this done. tried of waiting!!

Toyota instructed me not to allow an occupant in the passenger seat until the airbag is repaired, rendering the vehicle useless for me. i can't even sell the vehicle due to the recall. i need to travel in a high humidity area for an extended period of time, but they have ignored my requests for airbag repair.

Takata recall - i was contacted by toyota concerning the air bag recall earlier this year. my first letter arrived on 7/18/2015. i have contacted toyota several time to find out when the airbag can be replaced. i was told they have no idea when the part will arrive and no idea when my car can be repaired. this is unacceptable. i use my truck for business and is currently losing money because i can not drive the vehicle. i informed toyota of this issue and was not given priority or any consideration for my inconvenience. this has not only cost me in time and money, but i feel the service i received is not acceptable as well. i wish i could sale the truck but nobody was a truck with a defective airbag. i am one unhappy customer due to this airbag recall. i can no longer say or support toyota as a good auto maker. at the end of the day, once the airbag is replaced i will sale the truck and will no longer purchase a toyota product. thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I received a notice for the airbag recall on my 2004 toyota tundra access cab pickup several months ago. the notice recommended that i do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. i don't understand how i am suppose to do this when my vehicle only fits 2 adults. why hasn't toyota offered a buy back on there vehicles if they can fix it in a reasonable amount of time? i would like a fix for my vehicle asap or a safe rental until the meantime.

My toyota tundra is part of the air bag recall. my toyota dealership does not have the part and may not have it for 10 days. in the intern, they have removed my passenger airbag and now no one can ride in the passenger side front seat until the recall repair has been completed. i have a family of 5 so now i can only ride 3 passengers in my vehicle. it has become a major inconvenience for me and my family. i requested a rental from my dealership but they declined. i contacted toyota directly yesterday(1-888-270-9371) and was told to expect a call back within 24 hours. the 24 hours have passed and no contact back from toyota. *tr

I am disabled and i keep receiving recall notices about airbags, and frame recalls from toyota, but the local dealers tell me that they do not have the parts to fix them. i am unable to carry anyone in the passenger seat because of safety advisories and this is affecting the value of my vehicle, and risk of injury to myself and any passengers i may carry, and insurance coverage because of the recall notifications. i suffered diligently to pay for this vehicle and now i find it's an unsafe piece of junk that i cannot use. i really want this vehicle fixed or replaced with one that is not unsafe.
