I purchased the used vehicle from corwin toyota in fargo, nd. after purchasing the vehicle i returned three times for repairs. when i brought the vehicle in for service the third time in six weeks i found out that two recalls would also be taken care of. i went on line to find out what the recalls were for. one of them was nhtsa recall id 13v442. this recall is about a drain hose clogging that could ultimately cause the air bags to activate due to the malfunction or to possibly not activate in an accident. the result could be serious injuries or death to the occupants of the car. this recall was initiated in the summer of 2013. the dealer(corwin) took this car in on trade in october of 2014 and then sold it to me. why would they sell a car with a known recall without fixing it. especially one that could cause serious injury/death? why is this allowed? *tr
Received recall notice from toyota, march 2014 regarding internal short circuiting of the integrated circuits on the electronic control module. contact toyota sept 2014 regarding when this would be fixed. the customer support representative did not know. i believe toyota has failed to remedy this defect within a reasonable time, that being 7 months from march to september. i am filling a vehicular safety complaint that toyota has not addressed the recall in a timely manner which could cause inadvertent deployment of the air bags or seat belt pretensioners causing injury. *tr

Re:report receipt date: oct 17, 2013 nhtsa campaign number: 13v442000 component(s): air bags , electrical system , equipment toyota needs to correct the defective drain line. the condensate that is not draining out of the evaporator is encouraging the growth of mold in the evaporator with an accompanying obnoxious odor. could the mold be a toxic mold? the root problem needs to be solved. *tr
