TAKATA RECALL ..... AFTER RECEIVING TOYOTA'S OFFICIAL U.S. POSTAL NOTICE, I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (AUTONATION ON W SAHARA, LAS VEGAS, NV) TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. AFTER NOT HEARING BACK FROM THE PERSON WHO PROMISED TO RETURN MY CALL, I CALLED AGAIN SIX HOURS LATER AND WAS GIVEN SOME B.S. STORY, BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS BEING ORDERED AND WOULD BE AT THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM MY DEALER, AUTONATION, THAT I NEED TO CALL THEM TO MAKE AN APPT. TO FIX THE RECALL ISSUE. THE PERSON I SPOKE TO (NOT THE SAME ONE AS EARLIER IN THE DAY) SEEMED TO NOT UNDERSTAND. I REPEATED THE ISSUE (SCENARIO AS WRITTEN ABOVE) TO WHICH THIS WOMAN, AGAIN, DIDN'T COMPREHEND. I TOLD HER I WOULD READ WHAT WAS SENT TO ME ABOUT MAKING AN APPT. AS I WAS READING TO HER WHAT WAS SENT TO ME, SHE HUNG UP ON ME. I THEN CALLED AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE GM OF THE DEALERSHIP. I LEFT A MESSAGE FOR HIM TO CALL ME BACK. NO SUCH CALL-BACK HAS HAPPENED. IS THIS A TACTIC THAT'S EMPLOYED ON A REGULAR BASIS? I CONTACTED TOYOTA'S CORPORATE REP AND GAVE THAT PERSON THE ACTIONS I WENT THROUGH. SHE SAID SHE'D FORWARD THIS ISSUE TO THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP. I, AGAIN, DOUBT I WILL BE CONTACTED. IF I DO, I'M SURE I'LL GET SOME B.S. TO PROTECT THAT EMPLOYEE, AS IS DONE BY POLICE TO PROTECT THEIR OWN. I WANT SOME ACTION AND I'M HOPING THIS MESSAGE WILL FIND ITS WAY TO A SOURCE WHICH WILL LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

TAKATA INFLATORS,ABS. PURCHASED VEHICLE USED 08/12/2016 THE FOLLOWING MIL CODES WERE CLEARED BY SELLING DEALERSHIP. C1223, P0456, B1150, CR123, C1241, B1152. NEEDED REPAIR IMMEDIATELY, PASSED STATE INSPECTION EVEN NEEDING THE FOLLOWING REPAIRS, BOTH FRONT AXLES, SERP BELT, SWAY BAR LINK AND REAR BRAKES.08/24/2016 VEHICLE REPAIRED BY SELLING DEALER AND RETURNED WITH FLAT TIRE, I HAD IT TOWED TO TIRE GARAGE BECAUSE SPARE WAS TOO OLD AND INCORRECT SIZE. AFTER I PICKED UP FROM TIRE REPAIR I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN UNREPAIRED SAFETY RECALL FROM 2012 ON THE ABS AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. PRIOR TO SERVICE APPOINTMENT I WAS DRIVING OVER A SPEED BUMP AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER BUMP, ABS LIGHTS CAME ON AND VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS. HAD TOWED TO TOYOTA DEALER FOR SERVICE(I HAVE RECEIPT FOR TOW) A COUPLE DAYS LATER DEALER SAID RECALL WAS COMPLETED BUT WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY DOCUMENTATION FOR REPAIRS. THAT DEALERSHIP BROKE A LUG STUD ON THE FRONT TIRE IN BUT DID NOT REPAIR IT. THEY SAID ITS OK TO DRIVE ON 5 LUGS ITS A 6 LUG RIM. I THEN BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS ON INCLINES AND NOT ACCELERATING. VERY SCARY BECAUSE I ALMOST ROLLED BACK INTO CARS, ALSO TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON BUT ALL TIRES WERE INFLATED. THEY HAD IT FROM 09/12/2016-09/26/2016. UNFORTUNATELY COULD NOT DUPLICATE CONCERN BUT DID REPAIR THE LUG STUD, TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR AND RECALIBRATED THE ABS AND AIRBAG LIGHT(I WAS NOT INFORMED UNTIL PICKED UP ABOUT THE AIRBAG). I ALSO HAD AN OIL CHANGE. VEHICLE HAVING ISSUES AS OF TODAY RIGHT TURNS I HEAR A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND AND WOBBLE WHEN HITTING BUMPS ON HIGHWAY SPEEDS.. THE BALL JOINTS MIGHT BE BAD. I CAN SEE THEM COVERED IN GREASE AND HAVE PLAY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND WAS IN AN UNDISCLOSED MAJOR ACCIDENT PRIOR TO PURCHASE. NEXT APP IS NOT UNTIL 10/24. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN MY '06 TOYOTA 4RUNNER IS ON AND WON'T TURN OFF EVEN AFTER LETTING IT IDLE FOR "6 SECONDS" AS RECOMMENDED BY THE RECENT LETTER FROM TOYOTA THAT I RECEIVED.

FINGERS CROSSED THAT I CAN MAKE IT UNTIL SEPTEMBER WITHOUT BEING KILLED/INJURED BY MY CAR.

THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP WENT OFF AROUND 145K MILES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WENT TO A FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA CHARLESTON, SC AND THE ADVISOR STATED THAT IT WAS JUST THE LAMP AND THAT THE AIRBAG IS STILL FUNCTIONAL. APPROXIMATELY AFTER 200 MILES, THE LIGHT REAPPEARED, BUT AS THE TOYOTA ADVISOR STATED IT WAS STILL FUNCTIONAL, I IGNORED IT. AT MY NEXT CHECK UP AT LEITH TOYOTA RALEIGH, NC. (153,953 MILES) THE ADVISOR AT THAT TIME TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A FAILED SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY. COME TO FIND OUT THERE ACTUALLY HAS BEEN RECALLS ON THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY. AS STATED IN THE TOYOTA RECALL ("THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY IN THE INVOLVED VEHICLES CONTAINS A SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY WITH ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE THAT COULD BECOME DAMAGED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. IF THIS OCCURS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG COULD BECOME DEACTIVATED, CAUSING IT TO NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH"). I JUST WANT THIS TO BE REVIEWED PROMPTLY CONSIDERING THAT THE RECALL THAT WAS MADE DID NOT REACH OUT TO MY MODEL. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION THAT HAS TO BE SOLVED IMMEDIATELY AND THIS CALLS FOR A RECALL! THESE TWO URLS CONTAIN THE EXACT SITUATION THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED.

PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS, 10565915,10514762. BECAUSE OF MY COMPLAINTS TO SAFECAR.GOV, TOYOTA SEND ME A REPORT OF THE EDR INSPECTION. AS PER THE INSPECTION REPORTS, TOYOTA SAYS I WAS DRIVING 50 MILE PER HOUR WHEN THE TRAFFIC STOPPED SUDDENLY IN FRONT OF ME. AND I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO STOP AND I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IN THE REAR. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED ON MAY 17 2013, BECAUSE I FILED A COMPLAINT THROUGH SAFECAR.GOV. WHEN I HAD THE ACCIDENT I CONTACTED TOYOTA FEW TIMES TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE REPAIR SHOP. HOWEVER TOYOTA REFUSES TO DO THAT. NOW THE EDR REPORT FROM TOYOTA SAYS, VEHICLE APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN ALREADY REPAIRED, SO MAKING A COMPLETE DETERMINATION AS TO WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY CANNOT BE DONE. THAT LETTER ALSO ASKED ME TO SEND ANY PICTURES OF MY DAMAGED VEHICLE. I SEND THE PICTURES TO TOYOTA AND NOW ANOTHER LETTER SAYING, AFTER REVIEW OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE DAMAGE, THIS WAS NOT A DIRECT FRONTAL IMPACT BUT AN IMPACT DIRECTED TO THE LEFT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT ABRUPT FORWARD DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY ESTIMATED DAMAGE TO THE WHOLE FRONT PART OF THE VEHICLE AND PAID $9300.00 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE TOYOTA DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT IT?S THE AIRBAG FAULT, BECAUSE THEN THEY HAVE TO RECALL ALL THE 4RUNNERS TO REPAIR THE AIRBAGS. ANYWAY I AM STILL ALIVE, AND I DON'T WANT ANY OTHER OWNERS TO GO THROUGH THIS KIND OF TRAGIC ACCIDENT. HOPE SAFECAR.GOV WILL WATCH TOYOTA FOR ITS FAILURE IN THE AIRBAG SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLES. THANK YOU SAFECAR.GOV. *TR
