I was notified of the air bag recall a year ago but the car dealerships in my area does not have the parts and I need to use my vehicle daily. So I am not sure what to do from here for that but I believe that the appropriate time to remedy this recall has past already and the fact that we have our children riding with us and we are unaware that their life is in danger or because we can not get it fixed is not acceptable. Then on top of that I am having issues like when my 2011 Corolla is sitting idle it will rev up the engine without touching the gas pedal and does this randomly and without warning and also while I am driving around 55 MPH on the interstate or highway sometimes it will dramatically drop and lose about 10- 15 MPH speed for no reason and this happens randomly as well. And this fluctuation happens during cruise control the most so I no longer even use that function. Also both headlights have moisture in them and are so fogged up now that visibility is almost impossible at night now. Also the weather striping around all my windows have dry rotted and broke off and there is practically nothing left of stripping anymore. Then the center dash above the radio just broke and gave out under my phone holder while driving, it broke into about 15 different pieces. I know that my phone or the holder is even close to heavy enough to cause the dash panel to cave in like that. I called to get a price on the dash and it was like $250+ and who can afford that for a piece of plastic. Lastly my driver and passenger seat will get stuck if you try adjusting them and sometimes it will let you move the seat but to do so you have to hop up and down for several minutes and throughout the adjustment to get the seat to move in any direction.

Vehicle horn stopped working. Not sure what caused it to stop working. I have not used it that often, but this recently happen when I was merging onto the highway and another vehicle almost ran right into me and my horn did not work to warn them I was there. This makes me nervous in case something does happen with my child in the car.

Called Toyota South atlanta (6865 jonesboro rd, morrow, ga 30260 | (770) 961-0225) to make an appointment on 7/2 for the airbag recall, said will send a message to the recall specialist, they will check inventory status, then give me a call back to make appointments. No returned call. 7/12 called once more and receptionist said the E-mail was sent once more. "due to the large amount of E-mails, response may be slow", so I waited. 7/23 called once more, the recall specialist wasn't in and was told to call back the next day. 7/24 called one last time and ended up talking to the regional manager, who said would find out the situation and call me back but never did. I am starting to think that Toyota South atlanta is just using this method to avoid any warranty repairs without having to verbally reject the repairs... you can contact me at 404-451-6292 and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you.
