I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTE ON THE MAIL INFORMING ME OF AN AIR BAG RECALL ON THE TOYOTA COROLLA I DRIVE, WHERE THEY STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO FIX IT IMMEDIATELY AND NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR ON THOSE CONDITIONS. THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM ON THE NOTE STATED THAT ANY AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER WILL REPLACE THE PART AT NO CHARGE. I CONTACTED ARLINGTON TOYOTA DEALER IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA WHERE THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WAS GOING TO CALL ME BACK AND NEVER DID. AFTER A FEW WEEKS I DECIDED TO CALL THEM BACK AND THEY TOLD ME THE PART IS IN BACK ORDER AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET IT. THEY WERE RUDE AND NOT INTERESTED IN FIXING THE PROBLEM AT ALL. I DECIDED TO CALL ANOTHER DEALER IN THE AREA, COGGINS TOYOTA AT THE AVENUES IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA, AND THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AGAIN AND TOLD ME MY PART WILL ARRIVED IN TWO WEEKS. AFTER WAITING A MONTH FOR THEM TO CALL ME, I DECIDED TO CALL THEM BACK WHERE A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, AND I COULD WAIT SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE THE PART GETS THERE. I FOUND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT AFTER GETTING A SERIOUS RECALL NOTE ON THE MAIL WHERE THEY STATE THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIX IMMEDIATELY, AND THERE IS THE POTENTIAL OF A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, NOTHING CAN GET DONE. I NEED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND IT IS VERY SCARY I COULD POTENTIALLY PUT MYSELF OR MY FAMILY IN DANGER EVERY TIME I DO. THE RECALL STATES THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR THE INTRUSION OF MOISTURE OVER TIME IN THE AIR BAG. LIVING IN FLORIDA AND HAVING AN OLD CAR INCREASE THE CHANCES OF THAT TO HAPPENS. NOT DRIVING THE CAR IS NOT A SOLUTION. IF THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND RECOMMEND NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR, THEY SHOULD GIVE A CAR RENTAL AT NO CHARGE TO PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM UNTIL THEY FIX IT.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE BACK IN JULY INFORMING ME ABOUT THE RECALL IN THE AIR BAG OF MY CAR. I CALLED AROUND AUGUST, THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY TO PRECISION TOYOTA IN TUCSON AND THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS COMPLETELY ABSURD. I CANNOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL THE ISSUE FIXED; IT'S BEEN 5 MONTHS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE ASAP OR PROVIDE SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO BE CALLING TOYOTA ALL THE TIME REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PARTS. ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN AT THIS POINT.

THE LOCAL DEALER, HOFFMAN TOYOTA IN WEST SIMSBURY, CT WAS CONTACTED OVER 2 MONTHS AGO ABOUT MY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART AND IT WOULD BE READY IN 2 WEEKS. I HAVE CALLED TWICE AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO CALL THEM, THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PART HAS ARRIVED, BUT THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN TO EXPECT THE PART. IN THE MEANTIME, THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN.

I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY CAR DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE RECALL (NHTSA ID 15V285) STATES THAT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, THE PASSENGER MIGHT BE SUBJECTED TO METALS THROUGH THE AIR BAG THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT THE DEALER IN MY AREA BUT WITH NO SUCCESS. TODAY, WE ARE ALMOST THREE MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL HAS BEEN INITIATED. A NON-LOGICAL SOLUTION HAS BEEN PROPOSED WHICH IS NOT TO OCCUPY THE PASSENGERS SEAT. I AGREE THAT THERE IS NO INJURY TILL THE DATE OF TODAY, BUT WE WON'T WAIT UNTIL AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS TO SEE THE RESULTS. I AM REQUESTING THE FOLLOWING: 1) THE DEALER HAS TO REPLACE THE AIR-BAG WITH A SAFE ONE WITHIN TWO WEEK OF TODAY (09/03/2015). I CAN'T KEEP THE PASSENGER SEAT UNOCCUPIED MORE THAN THIS TIME. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT TO SERVE A DRIVER, A PASSENGER, AND OCCUPANTS IN THE BACK SEAT. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER HAS TO TAKE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MANUFACTURING ERROR. 2) IN CASE THE REPAIR WAS NOT DONE WITHIN 2 WEEKS, I AM REQUESTING THAT THE DEALER PROVIDE ME WITH A REPLACEMENT CAR, FREE OF CHARGE AND WITH INSURANCE, UNTIL THE REPAIR PARTS ARE READY AND THE REPAIR IS DONE. 3) A THIRD OPTION IS THAT I MIGHT CONSIDER TRADING MY CAR FOR A 2011-2013 TOYOTA RAV 4 WITH A PAYMENT OF $4,000. THIS SEEMS A REASONABLE SOLUTION DUE TO THE RISK MY FAMILY AND MYSELF ARE SUBJECTED DUE TO THE ABOVE MANUFACTURING ERROR.
