I took my car on May 15, 2015 to correct the air bags recall. The Toyota dealer was not able to repair the recall because the parts in the airbag lack bar code (inflator module openned techline case). After 3 months (today 8/14/2015), they have not corrected my airbag because that part is backorder. The Toyota dealer does not know when they will receive the part. Then, it is unknown when my car can be safe.

I contacted headquarters Toyota in miami lakes, Florida, approximately 3 weeks ago, regarding the front passenger airbag inflator module. I was informed that the item had to be ordered, and could take 6-8 weeks, or longer, before the part is available. Personally, I feel that, the time period given is somewhat unreasonable. Consequently, this is my formal complaint.

I received a recall notice and attempted to seek the suggested remedy. However, I live in a bethel, Alaska, which is off the road system. Vehicles are shipped via airplane or barge. Additionally, there is no Toyota dealer where I live. The nearest one is in anchorage, Alaska. As a result, I cannot take advantage of Toyota's offer to replace the air bag free of charge. I called Toyota and was told it was my responsibility to get the vehicle to a dealership in order to replace its airbag. However, shipping my vehicle to the nearest dealership would cost in excess of $6000 (I owe approximately $6000 on the vehicle). I asked if they could ship me the part so someone could install it here in bethel. They said no. I asked whether I could disconnect the air bag and they said no. I'm not sure what my options are; however, I would like to use my vehicle. Can you offer any assistance? updated 10/9/15

I have recieved the recall notice for my 2006 Toyota Corolla. I took my car to the dealership and they informed me that after opening the door panel on the passenger side of my car, that a critical part (a large head bolt) was needed but that they did not have any in stock. They stated (and I confirmed with their customer experience center) that Toyota will only release 5 of the large headed bolts a day to the dealers. The dealership informed me that 128 people were ahead of me in line for this part making it very clear that I would not be able to get the necessay repair done for over 3 weeks. Toyota confirmed that I am expected to drive around with a faulty air bag ststen for over 3 weeks. It is appalling to me that Toyota would put thousands of peoples lives in danger like this by not supplying the necessary parts in a timley manner. How can the government allow this" why are you not doing something about this" I don't want to drive around for over 3 weeks knowing what I know about my car's airbag system. I expect you to do something about this immediatley to avoid large scale negative publicity for Toyota and for your Agency and the lack of oversite on your part.
