NHTSA temporary complaint number jen15-49029. This concerns the Toyota recall for faulty air bag controllers, NHTSA recall #14V147000. Why has NHTSA waited so long before enforcing the recall" your site has about 122 complaints regarding the months-long delay to replace air bag controllers. How many people have to be killed before our government takes notice" while Toyota appears to take this recall very lightly, especially since the news is full of other Toyota recalls, the main enforcement group here in the us is your department. Stop meeting, stop waiting and start being responsive to dangers for the american traveling public. I hope by the time this recall and effective repair actually occur, I or someone else isn't killed or maimed on our roadways due to known faulty air bag controllers.

I have called Toyota on there hot line 1 888 270-9371 to get this problem resolved in my car. Each time I call, the Toyota rep. Says that Toyota "is working on it but they have no parts to solve the problem". it has now the end of August, 4 months later and no solution. Am I to believe that they are really working on this problem. I am the one at risk. The airbag may deploy while I'm driving or not deploy if I hit something or something hits me. I want to know when the remedy will be ready and I can drive a safe car.

Electronic control module (ECM) issue: Problem w/ intermittent warning lights for air bag some time ago (researching date)- took vehicle to dealership. No more light, but vehicle began stalling/losing power while driving- rarely, but became more frequent over time. Instrument panel/check engine lights will illuminate- now every minute or so while driving. Other people have same problem- NHTSA id 10605681. Took vehicle to dealer late May. Dealer on phone w/ Toyota multiple times + had tech from another dealer come and look at vehicle - could not figure out what was wrong. Dealer now says the ECM faulty. Not repaired, but dealer wants to charge 8hrs of diagnostic time and not repaired - can dealer charge if recall item? my concern is that problem is more than air bags- faulty ECM results in loss of power/control when engine shuts down, stalls or experiences intermittent loss of power- vehicle no longer safe to operate. I cannot drive it; I cannot sell it. Called Toyota, asked for part # of recalled SRS/ECM- was told only local dealer has part numbers. They took information and transferred me to "Toyota corporate"- operator id'd as Toyota corporate asked questions, indicated they had documented my file. When I asked operator to confirm items operator had chosen to document, operator refused to respond to my requests for confirmation- I asked for supervisor- was told "no supervisor" there. Operator threw me on hold (on hold for over 30 minutes w/ corporate then transferred me to NHTSA w/out operator ever coming back on the line prior to transfer (NHTSA conf # available). "corporate" indicated that Toyota has no control over dealers- they can charge whatever they want to diagnose even if related to recall notice. Loss of use over 1 month. Dealer said no new ECM replacement part available. Pretty sure recall remedy inadequate.
