I AM RETURNING TO THE UNITED STATES DECEMBER 2020 AND REQUIRE ALL RECALL ISSUES TO BE ADDRESS PRIOR TO EXIT INSPECTION.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE IN THE FORM OF AN OFFICIAL WRITTEN REPORT.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION INTO A UTILITY POLE ON A TWO LANE ROADWAY. I WAS FOUND UNCONSCIOUS IN MY CAR. I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF THE COLLISION ITSELF BUT NO OTHER CAR WAS FOUND TO BE INVOLVED. THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE MOST DAMAGE. I HAD MY SEATS BELT ON BUT NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG IN THE ENTIRE VEHICLE DEPLOYED, DESPITE THE DISABLING DAMAGE THAT OCCURRED TO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO TOYOTA MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED YET ABOUT THE CONCERN OF NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYING YET WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT THIS WAS EVEN AN OPTION TO REPORT THE FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY WHERE THE HEAD ON COLLISION TOTALED THE CAR. THE PICTURES OF THE INCIDENT ATTACHED TO THIS REPORT WERE OBTAINED BY MY FATHER IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT AND INCLUDE THE ROAD OF THE ACCIDENT AND THE CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL IS VISIBLY DEFORMED FROM THE IMPACT MY BODY HAD ON IT DURING THE CRASH. I FRACTURED THE C2 SEGMENT IN MY NECK AND TO THIS DAY STILL SUFFER FROM COMPLICATIONS FROM THE CONCUSSION AND INJURIES OF THIS CRASH ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH NEUROLOGICALLY TESTING AND THERAPIES RELATED TO THE INJURIES. THESE INJURIES HAVE IMPACTED MY LIFE GREATLY AND I FEEL AS THOUGH MY CONCERN IS BEING DISREGARDED BY TOYOTA. I STRONGLY FEEL AS THOUGH MY INJURIES WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NEARLY AS SEVERE IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THE CASE. I DO HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND PICTURES IF NEEDED. *TR

INITIALLY THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE RECALL ITEM(S) IN STOCK. EVENTUALLY THE DEALER RECEIVED PARTIAL PARTS AND OTHER PART WAS BACKORDERED. FINALLY, I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE IN TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL WORK. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED, HOWEVER, AS SOON AS I RETURNED HOME THE AIRBAG PANEL ON THE DRIVER SIDE DETACHED FROM THE AREA COVERING THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO CONNECT THE PANEL. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THEM ON TWO OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND EACH TIME THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE PANEL BACK IN PLACE. THE PANEL IS NOW HANGING AGAIN EXPOSING THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I'M AFRAID THE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY WITH THE PARTS BEING EXPOSED. I THINK THE DEALER BROKE SOMETHING THAT KEEPS THE PANEL IN PLACE AND IS NOT DOING WHAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ASSURE MY SAFETY...I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO ABOUT THIS OTHER THAN CONTACTING YOU GUYS AND PERHAPS THE TOYOTA ZONE OFFICE. WHAT IS YOUR SUGGESTION? I HAVE BEEN PUSHING IT BACK IN PLACE OFTEN MYSELF SINCE THAT TIME AND NOW IT JUST WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE.

TAKATA RECALL. ON JANUARY 12,2018 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. A VEHICLE CUT ME OFF AND I HYDROPLANED WHEN BRAKING. THERE WERE MASSIVE STORMS OCCURRING. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I SLAMMED VERY HARD INTO THE MEDIAN RESULTING IN SOME LINGERING BACK SORENESS AND TRUTHFULLY A FEAR OF DRIVING IN THE RAIN. I RECEIVED A MAILER LAST WEEK NOTIFYING ME THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOW PART OF AN AIRBAG RECALL. SEEN BY THE PHOTOS BELOW, THERE IS NO REASON WHY THESE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT HERE.

THIS RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS WITH NO REMEDY PROVIDED. I ALSO AM CONCERNED ABOUT TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT MAY BE IN MY VEHICLE, BUT I DON'T SEE A RECALL NOTICE (ALTHOUGH I REGULARLY RECEIVE MAIL ABOUT POTENTIAL TAKATA AIRBAG RECALLS). THE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH IN THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICANT GREASE. RECALL STATUS RECALL INCOMPLETE REMEDY TOYOTA IS CURRENTLY PREPARING THE REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION. ONCE REMEDY PREPARATIONS ARE COMPLETE, TOYOTA WILL SEND AN OWNER NOTIFICATION LETTER BY FIRST CLASS MAIL TO OWNERS OF VEHICLES COVERED BY THIS SAFETY RECALL. ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON THE REMEDY WILL BE PROVIDED IN FUTURE COMMUNICATIONS. SAFETY RISK DESCRPITION IF SUFFICIENT GREASE IS NOT APPLIED, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE SWITCH MAY DEVELOP A SHORT CIRCUIT THAT CAN CAUSE THE SWITCH ASSEMBLY TO OVERHEAT AND MELT. A MELTING SWITCH CAN PRODUCE SMOKE AND POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A FIRE.

"TAKATA RECALL" NOTICE WAS SENT. WHEN I TRIED TO CONTACT A DEALERSHIP THERE WAS NO LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON HAWAII TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE FIXED DUE TO THE "TAKATA RECALL" BUT NOT HAVE TO SEND MY VEHICLE TO THE CONTINENTAL US DUE TO THIS ISSUE NOT BEING MY FAULT.

TAKATA RECALL MY TOYOTA YARIS HAS HAD RECALLS ON: 1) THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR 2) POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH 3) DRIVER SIDE SEAT TRACK ASSEMBLY & PASSENGER SEAT TRACK ASSEMBLY 4) SAFETY RECALL E0M - REMEDY NOTICE VARIOUS MODELS - SPIRAL CABLE BASICALLY, THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG IS DAMAGED AND CAN POSSIBLY FAIL TO DEPLOY. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS A BOMB, THE WINDOWS CAN CAUSE SMOKE AND FIRE IN MY CAR AND BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS CAN SNAP OFF THE RAILING CAUSING PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS (WITH NO AIRBAG PROTECTION) IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP - AND WHEN I CALLED TO SCHEDULE THE RECALLS AT MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD IT WILL TAKE OVER 30 DAYS FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE. WHEN I ASKED WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT DRIVING MY FAMILY AROUND IN MY VEHICLE THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT TOYOTA ONLY "RECOMMENDS" YOU DON'T DRIVE PASSENGERS. IS THIS SERIOUSLY HOW TOYOTA WILL DEAL WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS? MY CAR SHOULD BE COMPLETELY RECALLED WITH THESE SORT OF ISSUES. THESE ARE NOT MINOR ISSUES.

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE REMEDY IS AVAILABLE AS DESCRIBED IN THE NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V-340 MAILING THAT WAS RECEIVED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I LIVE IN ZONE A AND MY VEHICLE IS ALREADY (7) YEARS PLUS YEARS OLD. I HAVE NOT ALLOWED ANYONE TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AS RECOMMENDED WHICH IS VERY INCONVENIENT FOR PEOPLE WITH ARTHRITIS AND BACK ISSUES. HOW LONG WILL IT BE TO REMEDY THIS RECALL? I DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE BUT IT IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE TO USE. PLEASE HELP.

OUR ONE-CAR FAMILY HAS BEEN VERY BURDENED BY THIS RECALL FOR MANY MONTHS BECAUSE THE CURRENT "SOLUTION" IS TO NOT HAVE ANYONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS ALREADY A SMALL CAR AND WE HAVE LOST ONE SEAT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IF TOYOTA CANNOT COME UP WITH A SOLUTION IN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME, THEY SHOULD COMPENSATE OWNERS OF THIS CAR FOR LOSS OF FRONT SEAT PASSENGER USE.
