problem #7

Feb 142012

Corolla

  • 46,797 miles
Feb 14, 2012, warning light appeared on panel. Drove immediately to capitol auto service, 94-422 ukee street, waipahu, hi 96797 and spoke with owner, Mr. Fox to ask what problem was.(contact ph-(808) 676-1888. After inspection, it was determined the problem was the airbag and that it would need to be resolved in order to obtain upcoming safety inspection. After much difficulty, he was able to obtain an airbag which would solve the problem. Invoice #2004, dated Feb. 21, 2012. Amount paid $948.90. To date, my vehicle is still not on recall list. I recently learned that takata had knowledge of the defective airbags 10 years ago and did not disclose this information. My claim is be reimbursed for those monies paid ($948.90) when vehicle should have been on the recall list and I needed to replace the airbag in order to obtain a safety check and be able to operate my vehicle on our roadway.. I am able to email you a photo copy of the invoice using my cell phone if you require same. Thank you.

I was in an accident going approx 50 miles an hour, fronal impact. Neither of the airbags in the front came out. I have contacted Toyota and they investigated the car but they will not contact me and let me know what their investigation turned up. I have contacted them several times but they keep giving me the run around.
