Received another recall notice on another Toyota Corolla le vehicle. I have made a complaint in 2018 when I had a prior 2010 Toyota Corolla le and the jim white Toyota dealership in toledo, Ohio had my vehicle for over 1 year- sitting in their parking lot with no word on a part remedy- after complaining to your organization and Toyota corporate- the dealer offered me the 2016 Toyota Corolla le - I had to put down $3,000 and have a higher car note- I also expressed concerns about experiencing another recall which I was assured I wouldn't- but now I am. Toyota has failed once again. I was part of the Toyota takata class action lawsuit for over 2years and received a measly $62 check for all the agony I went through. I am scheduled to bring my vehicle in this Thursday, April 30, 2020 at 9:30 am and was promised I would not experience what I had before- but well see and I will keep you updated.

On 08/11/2017 my daughter was driving through a intersection when another vehicle failed to yield in front of her. She was involved in a head on collision and the airbags did not deploy on her 2016 Toyota Corolla. The body shop said the car should have been totaled but due to the airbags not deploying, the insurance company did not total the vehicle. I feel we were treated unfairly due to this. My daughter also suffered injuries from the incident. Two years later we see there is a recall for the airbags.

I checked my VIN number for recalls. Manufacturer recall number 20tb03, NHTSA recall number 20V024, dated: Jan 17, 2020 and read; 'the subject vehicles may be equipped with an electronic control unit (ECU) from a specific supplier designed to receive signals from crash sensors and deploy the airbags and seat belt pretensioners. The ECU may not have adequate protection against certain electrical noise that can occur in certain crashes, such as severe underride crashes. This can lead to incomplete or nondeployment of the airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners.'

I was involved in a car accident on 2/20/2020 my vehicle was in motion. I felt my 2016 Toyota Corolla lose traction on the road and start to slip. My traction control light never came on and I never felt it engage. I hydroplaned, my car hit a guardrail head on, my seat belt did not tighten which caused me to hit my head and chest on the steering wheel and dash as well as injuries to my neck from being slung forward. My vehicle continued to impact the guardrail. My air bags didn't deploy which also caused me to hit my head and shoulder hard on the driver window/door. Upon the multiple impacts and despite sensors being struck, my air bags failed to deploy throughout my vehicle and my seat belt failed to tighten. Causing injury to different areas of my body.
