We are a small nonprofit that receives car donations and refurbishes them for low income individuals and families. We received this 2009 Toyota Yaris as a donation with about 173K miles on it. When we received it we noticed that the driver's seat seatback was torn in two vertical spots. We thought this to be the result of the previous owner being overweight. Upon closer inspection we found that the two steel vertical supports for the seatback were razor sharp and were cutting their way through the foam of the seat and the fabric. If all of the Yaris seats are built this way this would be a significant safety issue in several types of collisions. In normal use a driver would have no idea what is in the seatback waiting to be force through in a collision.

"takata recall" notice was sent. When I tried to contact a dealership there was no local dealership on Hawaii to correct the issue. I would like this issue fixed due to the "takata recall" but not have to send my vehicle to the Continental us due to this issue not being my fault.

Takata recall my Toyota Yaris has had recalls on: 1) the front passenger airbag inflator 2) power window master switch 3) driver side seat track assembly & passenger seat track assembly 4) safety recall E0M - remedy notice various models - spiral cable basically, the driver's airbag is damaged and can possibly fail to deploy. The passenger airbag is a bomb, the windows can cause smoke and fire in my car and both driver and passenger seats can snap off the railing causing people in the vehicle to slide forward or backwards (with no airbag protection) in the case of an accident. This vehicle is a death trap - and when I called to schedule the recalls at my local Toyota dealership I was told it will take over 30 days for the parts to arrive. When I asked what I am supposed to do about driving my family around in my vehicle the representative said that Toyota only "recommends" you don't drive passengers. Is this seriously how Toyota will deal with their customers? my car should be completely recalled with these sort of issues. These are not minor issues.

Our one-car family has been very burdened by this recall for many months because the current "solution" is to not have anyone sitting in the passenger seat. This is already a small car and we have lost one seat due to this issue. If Toyota cannot come up with a solution in a reasonable time frame, they should compensate owners of this car for loss of front seat passenger use.

Hello, I purchased a new Yaris from Toyota knoxville, tn. My car has two recall notices. Whenever I call the service department for the recall service, they are like "the parts are not available" or "they do not time to attend to it". I guess they are not at all interested in attending to it. Can you please help.

Received "interim" notice of urgent recall for driver side seat rails. Several months later received notice that "fix" was ready and we should contact dealer for repairs. We have been told several times since then that parts are not available and we will be notified when repairs are possible. We have no idea when urgent repairs will be performed.
