Takata recall. We just received the recall info and were determined to be in zone B because the vehicle was registered in ct. However, the vehicle was purchased in Florida in 2013, where it originated. My daughter was in school in Florida so the car was there until she graduated in may of 2016. We moved to North Carolina, renting since April 2016 and now owning since June 2016. All this is to say that the car, since it's origination has resided 95% of the time in Florida and virtually not at all in ct. We feel the vehicle should be placed into zone a, due to it having been mostly in fl and now in nc and especially since my daughter and her friends use the car for the majority of the time.

The problem is with the passenger side airbags produced by takata. We were notified about this several months ago. A few days ago I received a letter from Toyota telling me that Toyota is preparing a remedy for these airbags and what I needed to do was not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. I called Toyota up and was told that they do not have a remedy yet, and they have no idea when they will have a remedy. Their solution to this airbag problem is to put all passengers in the back seat. We have a family of five so I can not do that. Their solution of not having people in the passenger seat is not acceptable to me and should not be to anyone. I have a family car and would like to use it with my family. I can not do that. Thank you.

I brought my Corolla 2010 to auto nation Toyota tempe last December 11, 2015 for the recall of airbags lights illumination. Before I brought it to auto nation, airbags lights remain illuminated after traveling long distances. After the repair on December 11, 2015 there will be time that the airbag lights remain illuminated after starting the engine traveling short distances. I called the service advisor about the problem, and he told me that they have done what is to be done, and told me to bring back the car to them and if the problem is not related to what they have done, I might be charged with diagnostic for $193. I am worried that they might say that it has a different problem not related to the recall. My only concern is why would the problem with airbag lights remain illuminated after they have repair it?

Last December 11,2015 I brought my Corolla 2010 at auto nation Toyota tempe for air bag recall as the air bag lights is always illuminated. I waited for more than 3 hours for them to fix it. When its done, I drive the car home but after a day the airbag lights remain illuminated. I waited if it will disappear after a few days, but up to this day, the illumination of air bag lights is still on. It was fixed with no charge to me, but what about now that nothing has been fixed.

12/27/2015 I was in a accident. I T-boned a drunk driver because he ran a stop sign. My air bags never deployed. This could have been a very bad situation. He has no insurance. My husband and I bought this car because of the safety and we were never safe at all. We were in motion on a highway going straight. Sheriff's office and insurance adjuster were very shocked that the air bags never deployed.
