Takata recall will someone get toyota to repair my car? I have been trying to get my airbag hazard repaired since 2014 recall came out. No success to date. Meanwhile forced to drive potential bomb. It appears toyota is giving people the run-around. I stayed on the line for great length of time and was told to call back later and cut off. Dealer is not calling back. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you, information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). *Tr

Takata recall - while driving on a highway, there was a slow up, and I braked, but stopped right at the rear bumper of the car in front of me. However, another car was coming behind me and couldn't stop, or didn't notice that traffice had stopped. He pushed me into the car in front of me. At that moment, which was not a severe front end hit, I saw fire, an explosion, and the airbag blew out the entire dash on the passenger side, and flew to the back seat behind the driver's side. Also, the driver's side airbag...

Takata recall. I've been receiving recall notices for this vehicle for years. I have been attempting to have three issues resolved, only one of which is the takata airbag problem. I have attempted to make an appointment for the repairs at the nearest toyota dealer to me (about a 2.5 Hour-rt drive from my home) for the past year+, but I am repeatedly told that they are awaiting the part(s) for the takata airbag repair. To make things worse, I constantly receive flyers from toyota urging me to have the repairs done asap. I would like to. But apparently, toyota is having problems getting the parts to their dealerships. In the meanwhile, I'm driving a potentially dangerous car.

Takata recall not addressed by the manufacturer in a timely manner. Recall number: 08v162 from 2008, recall status is incomplete. Leading to power windows completely immovable. Manufacturer failed to remedy these recalls in a timely manner.

I have been trying to get a recall 15v043 done since jan/feb this year and I keep calling the dealer and getting told they have never been sent the parts ever. I also have the air bag recall 15v285 and this is the second time ive called them regarding this recall as well. Wtf do they never get parts now? Whats really annoying is I keep getting letters in the mail regarding recalls and this last one says "why haven't we heard from you?" Even though ive called multiple times.

Takata recall. I was told by a local portland, or toyota dealer that the replacement parts for the takata inflator recall are back-ordered for an indefinite 6-12 month period and warned that it could possibly take even longer. Toyota corporate customer service confirmed that timeline by speaking with a different portland, or toyota dealer. Toyota further informed me that I cannot have a passenger in the front seat until the takata inflator has been replaced. Toyota has been very upfront and helpful in...

I was backing down my driveway when my car suddenly accelerated-the brakes and steering also went out-i crashed into a bank on one side of the road, then the car swung around and I ended up suspended over a ditch. I was finally able to switch gears and turn the car off

I took my car to the toyota dealer to fix the airbag recall on 8/31/2015 and 1/20/2016. After fixing the air bag, I hear some kind of noise coming from the passenger side dash board next to air bag. I mentioned it to the dealer and have them look at it but they mentioned its nothing. I still have that noise coming out from there. I;m worried. Looks like they didnt replace the airbag inflator properly.

The engine burns excessive amounts of oil and has now starting making what appears to be either faulty lifter or camshaft noises. The matrix burns at least 1 quart of oil for every 1000 miles driven. I do regular maintenance and monitor the oil level weekly.

Takata recall I received a letter from toyota about a recall concerning my vehicle. In this letter, it states that my local dealership is stocked ( with a sub-wire harness and srs ecu ) and ready to complete my repair. I showed up to my local dealership on 12/12. I was told that the parts needed are not actually in stock and needed to be ordered. Possibly taking up to two weeks. After pointing out the difference in what what they are telling me versus what the notice states, I was dismissed. This recall...

My daughter said the steering totally locked while being driven. Her & her boyfriend could not get the steering wheel to turn at all. They were not speeding because it was on wet roads. They both suffered mild concussions & my daughter has a severe neck sprain. After seeing the car, it went off the road & rolled 2 or 3 times it's totaled, I'm surprised they're not in icu! I did some research & almost 1000 matrix's have had this happen!! I don't know why there isn't a recall. It seems toyota isn't all that safe & doesn't care about it's customers at all.
