Passenger side airbag deployment can cause fatality. This is a nine (9) year old car. The replacement part may be three (3) years away, when the car will be twelve (12) years old. Interim options of either disabling the airbag or not sitting in the passenger seat are very poor solutions. If Toyota can hold out long enough all defective cars will be off the road and no repairs will be necessary. This outcome is very bad, the resolution is not adequate. Disappointed to realize that car owner and passenger safety is not a priority concern for NHTSA, but rather the Focus seems to be on maintaining happy car manufacturers. A proper resolution would be to repair the car in September 2015.

Toyota was supposed to replace the rusted wheels but it appears they either just repainted them or replaced them with another defective wheel. The wheels are rusting excessively. I received a recall notice advising me that my passenger side airbag was on recall list but part is not available at this time no mention was made of the driver side or side impact airbags. When I telephoned Toyota, I was told by Toyota that no recall was being issued for driver side or side impact airbags. This car has had surge issues, rusted wheels, tires 6 and 8 years old at time car was purchased as a brand new vehicle, now shrapnel danger from airbags with no recall. I put 8500 miles on car first year I owned it. Then surge occurred and now it only has 14500 miles since I am afraid to drive it. Toyota wants me to give it to dealer to hold until it is repaired. No guarantee re damage due to car sitting on dealers lot for months I.e. rusted brakes, engine, etc from sitting unused for months. This is ridiculous. Toyota should be made to take back this vehicle and replace it with new Corolla. I bought it new since I was retiring and now retired and can not afford new car. So I am stuck with it and can not drive it or enjoy my retirement or visit relatives since I can not drive car on highway. It is not safe to drive.

I received a safety recall notice in regards to my 2006 Toyota Corolla front passenger air bag inflator module. In response to the notice, I called the recommended Toyota dealer for St petersburg fl at 8501 us hwy 19 N, pinellas park fl 33781 on July 28, and was told that it would take two weeks to have the part in and that I would receive a call from them to schedule a repair. More than two weeks has passed and I have yet to receive a call from them. Today, August 14, I called to follow-up and they told me it will take another two weeks, a month, or maybe longer. The first time I called they did not collect my VIN number, and this time they asked for the VIN and said that they can only take action with a VIN, leading me to believe that my first call was not even captured. I do not feel safe driving my car and would like to see some action taken to have the part available and my vehicle repaired.
