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.
