2006 Toyota Tundra Airbags Problems

Tried to make an appointment with Ray Brandt Toyota in Kenner Louisiana. Made the appointment online, but could not get someone to call me back telling me if the airbag part was in I tried calling countless times I tried going through their website. Chat nothing. I’m going to have to drive over an hour away to another Toyota dealership, due to this once lack of concern towards their customers. I don’t even feel safe driving my vehicle due to metal being in the airbags.

I have been trying to get my airbag changed from recall. Toyota will not do the repair. They refuse to pick up my truck. My Reference number at Toyota is 220901001583. This is the number Toyota corp. gave to me. Twice corp. set up the repair both times dealers refused to come get it. Now corp. says I have to bring it in to get the repair. For two years they have been sending me recall notices saying they will come and get the vehicle. now they refuse to do that. I will not take it to Toyota. they have wasted enough of my time already. Thanks Russ

NOT LONG AFTER THE LAST TAKATA RECALL,NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 15V286000, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER BECAME STICKY AND DISCOLORED - MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHO PERFORMED THE RECALL AND THE TOYOTA CORPORATION SAID IT IS NOT A TOYOTA ISSUE. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS OWNERS OF A VARIETY OF AUTO MANUFACTURERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ANY DEFECTS RELATED TO AIRBAG COMPONENTS COULD POSE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS CONSTITUTES A " SAFETY PROBLEM " AND ANY KNOWN REMEDY. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

JAN. 2, 2021 DEALER (ADVANTAGE TOYOTA OF VALLEY STREAM) REFUSED TO COMPLETE NHTSA RECALL NO. 19V-741. DEALER STATED THAT THEY DO NOT DO RECALL SERVICE ON WEEKENDS. TOYOTA CORPORATE'S RECALL LETTER STATES THAT A LOANER VEHICLE WOULD BE PROVIDED. ADVANTAGE TOYOTA STATES THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE LOANER VEHICLES, REGARDLESS OF WHAT DAY OR TIME I WOULD BE WILLING TO SCHEDULE THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT. DEALER DID NOT OFFER ANY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS (RIDE HOME, PAID TAXI, ETC.) CONTACTED CORPORATE, ADVISED THAT THE DEALERS ARE PRIVATELY OWNED AND TOYOTA INC IS NEITHER AFFILIATED NOR LIABLE FOR DEALERSHIP ACTIONS. TOYOTA RECOMMENDED THAT I PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE EXPENSES FOR A RENTAL CAR AND REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT AT A LATER DATE. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OF INTEREST TO THE NHTSA THIS EXAMPLE OF TOYOTA'S LACK OF INTEREST TO REMEDY A MANDATED SAFETY RECALL. TOYOTA SENDS MULTIPLE LETTERS INDICATED A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH A VEHICLE THEY MANUFACTURED. THEN, DEALERSHIPS MAKE IT DIFFICULT (IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE) TO HAVE THE RECALL SERVICE COMPLETED. TOYOTA THEN EXCUSES ITSELF FROM LIABILITY BY STATING DEALERSHIPS ARE PRIVATELY OWNED. CONVENIENT. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO THIS MATTER.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE TRUCK WAS AT DEALERSHIP HAVING AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM TROUBLESHOT WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP ABOUT AIR BAG RECALL AND THAT RECALL WOULD BE DONE AT SAME TIME. PASSENGER AIR WAS REPLACED AT THIS TIME. AFTER TRUCK SAT A DEALERSHIP FOR EXTENDED PERIOD EVENTUALLY GOT TRUCK BACK. EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS TO A YEAR STARTED NOTICING AN ODD APPEARANCE ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG COVER. THIS AREA BEGAN HAVING A STICKY FEELING TO IT. PLACED A PAPER NAPKIN ON THE AIR BAG COVER AND HAD PART OF THE NAPKIN STICK TO THE COVER. DURING ONE OF THE RECENT HEAT SPELLS WITH THE INTERIOR OF THE TRUCK REACHING A HIGH TEMPERATURE DISCOVERED THAT THE AIR BAG COVER HAS BEEN SPRAY PAINTED TO MATCH INTERIOR COLOR OF TRUCK. THIS MAKES THAT AREA OF THE DASH LOOK DISGUSTING PLUS YOU CAN NO LONGER LAY AN OBJECT THERE WITHOUT IT GETTING STUCK TO THE DASH. AM ABLE TO PUSH PAINT AND SEE THAT ORIGINAL COLOR OF AIR BAG COVER IS BLACK.

CHARLOTTE) REFUSED TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT WITH OUT ME PROVIDING MY PHONE NUMBER. SHE WOULD EVEN LET ME TALK TO HER MGR. TOD GRUB OR LEAVE MESSAGE FOR HIM. SHE WAS PLAIN RUDE SO I ASKED HER TO GIVE ME SOMETHING IN WRITING "REFUSAL TO REPLACE AIR BAG DUE TO CUSTOMER UNWILLINGNESS TO RELEASE PHONE NUMBER" SHE REFUSED THAT TOO. I TRIED TO EDUCATE MGR NANCY THAT ALL YOU NEED AND ALL YOU CAN GET IN THIS SITUATION IS MY TITLE AND MY ID. I HOPE THAT YOU SEE AND ADDRESS THE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT AND RISK THEY KEEP US IN.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR A YEAR TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL WITH MAITA TOYOTA AND FOLSOM LAKE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS IN CALIFORNIA. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE AND THEY PARTS COULD STILL TAKE A YEAR TO COME IN. THIS IS NONSENSE. WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO NOT HAVE THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPLACE A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT IS THEIR FAULT. WHY DO I HAVE TO ASSUME THE RISK OF HAVING MY FACE BLOWN OFF BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. AS USUAL THE CORPORATIONS GET AWAY WITH MURDER WHILE THE INDIVIDUALS PAY THE PRICE. THE DEALERSHIPS NEED TO BE MADE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT AND GET THESE SAFETY RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF.
