Corolla

  • 53,000 miles
Over two months ago I received a interim safety recall notice regarding the air bags on my car informing me I can't ride in the passenger seat/or my spouse. I have spoken with Toyota on 3 different occasions & have been warned not to ride in the passenger seat but they don't have a date on when my car will be fixed. I have informed them that I am planning on a trip - and don't feel I should have to ride in the back seat I requested a loaner and have been told no. I didn't pay over $18,000 for a car that I can't ride in and think I have been more than patient in waiting to get my air bags fixed. When I spoke with Toyota they said it the major cities are getting fixed first. I paid my car off over six years ago and feel my family's lives are worth just as much as the next person. When I purchased my car, the biggest selling features were the air bags as I have children/grandchildren and their safety is very important to me. Me & my husband feel they should at least give a safe loaner vehicle so we can be safe on our trip. This is very inconvenient & feel Toyota is just trying to get out of a lawsuit if there is an accident. Thank you for any assistance you can give me.

I received a safety recall notice from Toyota stating that I need a new passenger air bag immediately. I contacted Toyota of tampa bay on 7/22/2015 and was told they were out of stock, but would order me one for my particular VIN # so that I would be able to have one installed as soon as possible. I have contacted Toyota of tampa bay several times since then and keep being I told I will be called back and never receive a call back. The recall notice states that it is not safe to drive the vehicle, but I can't get Toyota to correct the issue. My most recent call to Toyota of tampa bay was this afternoon on 9/5/2015.

I have received a recall for my car due to safety issue with the passenger air bag. The recall (NHTSA id 15V285) states that in case of an accident, the passenger might be subjected to metals through the air bag that can cause serious injury or death. I have been trying to contact the dealer in my area but with no success. Today, we are almost three months after the recall has been initiated. A non-logical solution has been proposed which is not to occupy the passengers seat. I agree that there is no injury till the date of today, but we won't wait until an accident happens to see the results. I am requesting the following: 1) the dealer has to replace the air-bag with a safe one within two week of today (09/03/2015). I can't keep the passenger seat unoccupied more than this time. The car was bought to serve a driver, a passenger, and occupants in the back seat. The manufacturer and the dealer has to take their responsibility for any manufacturing error. 2) in case the repair was not done within 2 weeks, I am requesting that the dealer provide me with a replacement car, free of charge and with insurance, until the repair parts are ready and the repair is done. 3) a third option is that I might consider trading my car for a 2011-2013 Toyota rav 4 with a payment of $4,000. This seems a reasonable solution due to the risk my family and myself are subjected due to the above manufacturing error.
