NOVEMBER 10, 2017 - I WAS T-BONED BY A MOTORIST (WHO RAN THE LIGHT) ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHILE ATTEMPTING A LEFT HAND TURN THRU AN INTERSECTION. THE 2010 TOYOTA YARIS I WAS DRIVING WAS TOTALED BY THE COLLISION ($8,266.72 OF DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE). THE YARIS SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE YARIS'S LEFT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS COLLAPSED INTO THE YARIS CABIN WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO BREAK MY SAMSUNG NOTE 4 PHONE DISPLAY & DAMAGE ITS INTERNAL SOLID STATE DRIVE. THE SAMSUNG NOTE 4 WAS ENCASED IN AN OTTER BOX AND ATTACHED TO MY LEFT HIP VIA OTTER BELT CLIP DURING THE TIME OF ACCIDENT. MY HEAD STRUCK A HARD SURFACE IN THE YARIS, RESULTING IN A LARGE HEMATOMA ON MY LEFT FRONTAL LOBE. TOYOTA INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THAT WITHIN THE SPAN OF 68 MILLISECONDS, THE LATERAL DELTA-V AIRBAG SENSOR WAS ACCELERATED FROM 0.0 MPH TO 11.1 MPH. YET THE SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. PER TOYOTA, SINCE THE SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS DEEMED IN PROPER WORKING ORDER AND DID NOT DESIGNATE THE COLLISION WARRANTED DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS, EVERYTHING FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. WHEN QUERIED WHAT THRESHOLD WAS REQUIRED TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS (NOTING THE INSTANTANEOUS LATERAL ACCELERATION OF A 2300+ LBS VEHICLE FROM 0 MPH TO 11 MPH WAS INSUFFICIENT), TOYOTA INSISTED I HIRE MY OWN ENGINEERS TO RESEARCH. TOYOTA'S UNWILLINGNESS TO ASSIST LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN COVERING UP A POTENTIAL FLAW IN THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM UTILIZED IN THE YARIS AND POTENTIALLY OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLE MODELS. TOYOTA'S CAVALIER REGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF TOYOTA CUSTOMERS POTENTIALLY PLACES MILLIONS OF TOYOTA CUSTOMERS AT RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA YARIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION TOYOTA BUENA PARK (6400 BEACH BLVD, BUENA PARK, CA 90621, (714) 627-5562) FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V340000 AND 14V168000 (AIR BAGS). THIRTY MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, THE CONTACT DROVE FROM THE DEALER LOT AND THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO AUTONATION TOYOTA BUENA PARK, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING THEY REPAIRED CAUSED THE WINDOW TO SHATTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.
TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES TO HAVE MY AIR BAG REPLACED. I CONNECTED WITH TOYOTA AND MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE AIR BAGS ARE ON ORDER AND I WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN IT COMES IN. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER 2 MONTHS! THIS IS DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE! I WANT THE STUPID THING REMOVED!

TAKATA RECALL NOTHING IS BEING DONE AND WE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF OUR CAR'S PROBLEM BACK IN MAY OF 2016. WE ARE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH A DANGEROUS PART IN IT AND TOYOTA HAS NOT CONTACTED US ABOUT THE PROBLEM SINCE LAST YEAR WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT US SOON WITH A TIME FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AIRBAG. THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED US SINCE, AND IT'S GOING ON 14 MONTHS NOW. WE WOULD LIKE SOME HELP TO GET TOYOTA TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE OUR AIRBAG AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS CAR IS EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF HEAT AS IT IS PARKED IN AN OUTDOOR PARKING LOT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DURING WORK DAYS.

TAKATA RECALL WE HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 6 MONTHS FOR A REPAIR ON OUR RIGHT SIDE AIR BAG. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER TO A PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT SEAT WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE, THIS VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR DRIVER ONLY USE. I FEEL IT IS TAKING WAY TOO LONG FOR THE REPAIR TO TAKE PLACE. I DON'T FEEL LIKE TOYOTA OR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING ENOUGH TO GET THIS REPAIR COMPLETED. I LIVE IN A TROPICAL CLIMATE AND MY CAR IS SIX YEARS OLD BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS SHOULD PUT ME ON A PRIORITY LIST. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU AS TO WHAT IS BEING DONE TO HELP ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE TAKATA INFLATORS . I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE DE PASSENGER SEAT. EVERY TIME I GO FOR A CHANGE OIL, I ASKED THEM WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO REPLACE IT, AND THEY JUST ANSWER THAT THEY WILL SEND A LETTER TO LET ME KNOW. IT'S BEEN A WHILE AND HAVE NOT HEAR FROM THEM. IT'S SCARY TO DRIVE LONGER DISTANCES KNOWING THAT. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP ON THIS MATTER.
TAKATA RECALL IT'S BEEN MONTHS. WHAT IS THE DELAY? MILLIONS ARE BEING INCONVENIENCED BECAUSE SOMEONE ISN'T WILLING TO SPEND THE NECESSARY MONEY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. FINES ARE DEFINITELY IN ORDER AS WELL AS SOME FINANCIAL RECOMPENSE TO OWNERS FOR THE DELAY AND INCONVENIENCE.
TAKATA RECALL", TOYOTA HAS NOT YET PROVIDED A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL. MY CAR IS IMPACTED AND COULD BE A DANGER TO DRIVE.
AIRBAG RECALL IS OVER A YEAR OLD WITH NO REMEDY. ALSO MY ELECTRIC WINDOW IS SUBJECT TO RECALL WITH NO REMEDY. I WANT THESE FIXED - IT IS NOT SAFE.
IT HAS BEEN MONTHS SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THE BAGS ARE DEFECTIVE. LIVING IN THE TROPICS, I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY HAVE DONE A COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS AND IT IS CHEAPER FOR US TO DIE!
