Takata recall.........Toyota has almost a year to fix this problem. Please make it where my friends can ride in the front seat. This is ridiculous. I purchased this car because of Toyota's safety rating March 2010, the next day there was a recall and it has gone down hill since. I paid cash money for my car and cannot afford to purchase another. If the airbags or any other safety recall is not fixed asap and something happens I or my heirs will own Toyota! and takata! get busy!!!!!! nothing happened yet but does it have to?

The buckles in the back seat of the car were installed in opposite places. The back left seatbelt will only buckle in the center seatbelt buckle. The center seatbelt will only buckle in the back left buckle. They are not twisted. If I have three passengers in the back, they have to crisscross the belts to buckle. The buckle installed on the left side has the word "center" on it.

Total loss of vehicle..police report is incomplete of details, due to officer "not believing me" and "purposely leaving report incomplete because of this being the second time out here on this call", when I tried to explain what happen while driving this Toyota Corolla, however the tow truck driver is a witness and agreed to testify..I have called Toyota several times and have got nothing.. property damage was done on third party property as well.

I got in the car to run an errand. The seatbelt wouldn't buckle to hold me in safely. I press it in and it just won't stay in place.

While driving at 35-40mph around a curve, I has pressed on the brake pedel to reduce speed an the vehicle failed to respond, but accelerated in speed while steering became inpossible to control, it was if the vehiicle was controlling it self. I had been drove into an through a ditch an out, hitting a mailbox, concrete lined driveway exiting the first ditch an entering another also hittng a street sign as well as a mile marker sign, my seat belt failed to lock which lead my head to repeatedly hit the top of vehicles windshield as well as the steering wheel. Futhermore the airbag failed to deploy. I suffer from sever headaches, my vision in lt eye although inproved has greatly decreased, as well as memory.
