I received a notification that our car had been recalled, so I made an appointment with Deluca Toyota in Ocala to have the recalled items only fixed. After they had the call for an hour and a half they tried to force me to have the Serpentine belt replaced. We just had the serpentine belt replaced a few thousand miles ago and it was fine when we brought our car in for an airbag recall. They didn't fix the airbag, because we wouldn't pay for them to replace our serpentine belt....that does not need to be replaced again this soon. Serpentine belts last about 100,000 miles so at 2-3 thousand miles it is fine. Toyota is a bunch of lying thieves.

The contact owned a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while sitting in their vehicle parked, the passenger air bag exploded independently. The contact confimed that there was no impact for the air bag to explode and there were no warning lights at the time. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and repaired the passenger air bag. However, a month later the contact was at a stoplight when the vehicle behind rear-ended the vehicle and caused the contact to rear the vehicle in front of them. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's head hit the steering wheel, which caused injuries to their head, neck, and back. Medical treatment was at the scene and took the contact to the hospital by ambulance. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed by an independent mechanic and then towed to a local dealer who inspected the vehicle and deemed the vehicle a total loss. The contact's concern was that after doing some research they found out their vehicle had an open recall for the frontal air bags NHTSA Campaign Number: 19v741000 (Air Bags) that they believe their local dealer was aware of the recall but never informed which caused the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximate 150,000.

SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR I HAD AN ISSUES. I HAVE CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. IT USED TO BLOW THREW BRAKE PADS UNTIL I PAID TO HAVE THAT REPAIRED. OIL CONSUMPTION WAS A QUART NOW MY PISTON ISN'T WORKING. I CALLED TOYOTA EVEN ABOUT SAFETY BAG RECALL WHICH NEVER GOT FIXED. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON MY CAR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WHEN I TOLD ABOUT AIR BAG RECALL I SAW ON THE NEWS I WAS TOLD THEY WILL BE SENDING ALL THE INFORMATION IN THE MAIL. IT NEVER CAME. I WOULD LIKE HAVE MY MONEY BACK. THE COST OF REPAIRS. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT TOYOTA. THIS HAS BEEN UNFAIR NOT LETTING YOUR CUSTOMER RECEIVE THE REPAIRS DUE TO THEM FOR INSTALLING FAULTY PARTS. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING AND NOW I NEED TO GET A NEW PISTON. 02/082020

TAKATA RECALLON BUT THIS IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL, BUT I DID SEE IT THERE WERE RECALLED IN EUROPE JUST THE OTHER DAY FOR NOT GOING OFF AS WELL AS GOING OFF WITHOUT BEING HIT. I JUST WISH MINE HAD GONE OFF. 09/23/2018 I WAS HIT HEADON BY A VEHICLE GOING 45 MPH. THERE WAS NO WHERE ON MY FRONT END THAT WAS NOT EFFECTED BY THE ACCIDENT. RESEARCHING I FOUND WHERE THE SENSORS WERE FOR THE AIR BAG, EACH ON EACH SIDE OF THE RADITOR WAS HIT. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEFLATE CASING MYSELF NECK AND BACK INJURY THAT WILL NEVER REPAIR. PICTURES WILL SHOW THAT THERE IS NO WAY NONE OF THE AIR BAG SENSORS WERE NOT DAMAGED OR HIT TO ADVISE THE AIR BAG TO GO OFF AND HOLD THE PERSON IN PLACE SO THEY DO NOT GET SLUNG AROUND LIKE A RAG DOLL UNTIL THE ACCIDENT IS OVER. I REMEMBER SEEING THAT THE ACCIDENT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, I JUST DID NOT THINK I WOULD OF BEEN INVOLVED IN IT. UNFORTUNATELY, A TRUCK HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH THAT VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO ME AT FULL FORCE. I FIRST WAS SLUNG INTO THE DOOR, THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER IS MY ACCELERATOR STICKING SO I HAD TO TURN OFF MY KEY TO AVOID FLYING ACROSS A BUSY ROAD. I HAVE A BULDGING DISC, DAMAGED TENDONS AND MUSCLES. I AM 61 YEARS OLD AND NOW FEAR THAT IF HIT EVER AGAIN THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY.

SATURDAY, JUNE 2. THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS INTERMITTENT OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE SPIRAL CABLE. I READ ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER TOYOTA MODELS AND YEARS AND THAT A RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT TO OWNERS AND REPAIRS WERE MADE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. TUESDAY, JUNE 5. THE DEFECTIVE PART WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. I SPOKE WITH THE DIRECTOR OF PARTS AND SERVICE TO ASK WHY I WAS CHARGED FOR THE REPAIR. HE SAID THE SPIRAL CABLE WAS NOT RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE AIRBAG, SO IT IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE; IT'S A PART THAT WEARS OUT, LIKE A WORN-OUT TIRE OR BRAKE PADS THAT ONE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE. I TOLD HIM THAT OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES WITH DEFECTIVE SPIRAL CABLES WERE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO HELP BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF HIS HANDS AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO CALL THE 800 NUMBER FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. JUNE 6. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EXPLAINED MY CONCERN. THE REPRESENTATIVE WHO TOOK MY INFORMATION SAID THAT I WOULD GET A CALL BACK IN A DAY AFTER HE RESEARCHED THE SITUATION. THURSDAY, JUNE 7. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE INFORMING ME THAT MY REQUEST FOR TOYOTA TO PAY THE FOR THE REPAIR WAS DENIED. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT AS OTHER VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON. I WAS TOLD I COULD DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITHOUT THE DEFECTIVE PART REPLACED, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE PEACE OF MIND THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE TO ME OR TO OTHERS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING; I NEEDED TO BE ASSURED THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY UNDER CONDITIONS IT IS MEANT TO DEPLOY. TOYOTA SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE TOTAL COST AS THE AIRBAG DID NOT MEET THE STANDARDS TO SAFELY OPERATE MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA INFLATORS. YOU, THE NHTSA, ARE FULLY AWARE THE TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE NOT SAFE AND HAVE HARMED PEOPLE. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON MY MODEL OF CAR? I COULD BE KILLED, AND THE DELAY BY THE NHTSA TO RECALL THE AIRBAGS, WOULD BE YOUR FAULT. MAYBE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO THE PUBLIC.
