My complaint has to do with the air bag recall. The dealer on two occasions replaced components of the air bag system but has been unable to correct the problem. The service consultant claims to have contacted Toyota tech personnel in ca and was told, basically, "there's nothing else we can do under the recall." If the problem still exists, I.e. the warning light still comes on and, apparently, there is still the risk of a malfunction, I fail to see why further action cannot be taken. From what I have read and heard the consequences of an air bag malfunction can be fatal.

I took my car to herrin-gear Toyota Scion on Wednesday, November 12, 2014 at 6100 I-55 North in jackson, ms to fix the recall notice for the supplemental restraint system (SRS) electronic control module replaced. On the drive home I noticed the airbag light coming on and off so I took it back to the them on Friday, November 14, 2014. I was told by [xxx], advisor in the service department, that the part they had put on Wednesday was defective and they would have to order it and it would be a week or two before the part came in. So, in the meantime, I am still driving my car with the airbag issue still not repaired and I don't know definitely when it will be fixed.

I took my car to haley Toyota on hull street in richmond Virginia for the air bag recall....they so call fixed the air bag issue and then said when they put the car back together the airbag light stays on and they don't know where it was coming from. After some research they said that it was the wiring harness that was the problem. My air bag light was never on prior to me bringing them my car. They are trying to charge me $1400 for repairs. The recall was for the air bag and if the light stays on then they need to fix it. I contacted Toyota corporate office and they said the only thing they can do is to offer me $500 toward the repair but I would have to pay up front and send in the documentation and then I would only be reimbursed the $500. I don't feel like I should have to pay them anything because I feel like the mechanic did something for the air bag light to stay on. He said that maybe some wires got crossed or connectors got moist and try to put it on me. I brought the car from that dealership and haven't done anything to the car since I got it but keep up the maintenance. The recall is for the air bag and if the air bag light continues to stay on they need to fix it. They have had my car for two weeks now. I need help getting this resolved.

Received a recall notice mid-October saying I should contact a Toyota dealer to schedule an appointment to have the remedy pergfomed as soon as possible. I have contacted 2 dealers, both of whom have said they don't have the necessary parts and will contact me when they can do the repair.

There was a recall initiated 27 March 2014 for the supplemental restraint system (SRS) electronic control module (ECM). Toyota mailed letters on 05 May 2014 advising owners of the recall. As of today (16 Sep 2014), Toyota has failed to provide the parts and/or fix the SRS ECM. As of today, Toyota does not have an estimated date that the parts will be available to remedy this recall #14V147. Since this is a safety issue and the airbag could deploy unexpectedly at any time, please direct Toyota to provide the parts and fix this safety issue as soon as possible. 6 months delay is 5 months too long for drivers to be put at risk by Toyota's failure to fix the problem.
