The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Sequoia. The contact received a settlement postcard for the frame along with unknown recall notices regarding the air bags. The contact took the vehicle to butler Toyota (9419 aronson dr, indianapolis, in 46240, (317) 848-4210) several times to have the frame repaired; however, the air bags were repaired instead. This happened several times until the dealer stated that the settlement letter had expired. The contact stated that the frame was rusted from the inside out and was deteriorating rapidly. The dealer quoted a repair cost of $2,000 for an air suspension air bag that was not included in the recall. The cost to repair the frame was $3,000. The dealer did not include on the paperwork that the frame was the main reason the contact brought in the vehicle. The manufacturer stated that if the dealer had included the frame on the repair order, they would have taken care of the frame. The failure mileage was 230,000.

"takata recall" while entering the ramp to get on the eastex fwy. (ih 59) North bound, I observed that up ahead of me a vehicle was in a complete stop while on the freeway. I tried to switch lanes but I had another vehicle to my left which made it impossible for me to switch lanes. I then ran into the back of the other car which caused the accident. After colliding with the stopped vehicle, I was thrust forward into the steering wheel of my car. The driver's side airbag did not deploy and there was nothing to prevent my face, head, and upper body from crashing into the steering wheel and front windshield of my car.

Takata recall the takata recall website lists, among other vehicles, 2006 Toyota Sequoias. I have one of these. However, when I put my VIN into the online system, it indicates no recalls. I need specific assurance that I do not need to address this recall, please, since there may be a disconnect between the online recall-checking services and the takata-related website. Thanks.

SRS airbag light has been on for 8years during driving. I've taken this vehicle to get check at several dealerships & they don't know what's wrong with throughout the years. Finally took it to get check & its discover it's the control module, the programming was dead. Checked VIN & there's a recall status waiting to get approved for the control module as of February 2016. It states it was to be determine by September 2016. I'm now in a waiting to get a reimbursement due to I need a vehicle & have to pay for fixing. The disturbing issue is that I was driving with a defected control module that controls the deployment of airbags. Need this recall to happen quick for others vehicle owners.
