No incident...yet. I have been on a waiting list since march 2014 to take care of the recall issues for the SRS & ecu. The toyota corporation is not sending the requisite number of parts out for the dealership to make these repairs. This is very concerning to me. The latest letter from the corporation says it is urgent I make these repairs! What the... Send the [xxx] parts out. I would appreciate someone looking into this for us. Thank you. *tr information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Airbag warning light on dash appeared. The source of this warning has been identified as the spiral cable (clock spring in steering column). This part has not been identified as a recall by toyota for this model but spiral cables have been identified as a recall for numerous other toyota models. I suggest this problem may be systemic to a larger group of toyota products than previously identified by toyota and since it is a potential safety issue it needs to be addressed accordingly.

Airbag illuminates at different times while driving. This has been a recurring problem since 2003. When recall notice was received took car into toyota dealer for repair. Upon arriving at home with vehicle noticed that inside dome ceiling lights blinks on and off until ignition is turned off. Returned to toyota one week later to report problem. I was told that the system was resetting and that the blinking would stop. During the next three weeks the blinking continued and the airbag continued to illuminate while driving. I returned to the dealer and three hours later was told that the car has a $700 electrical problem that needed repair and that would fix both problems. The car did not have an electrical problem when it was initially taken into the dealer. They are trying to get additional monies to make up for fixing the airbag problem for free. Toyota headquarters is responsible for seeing that their dealerships honor the repair requests and do them correctly.

Airbag lights blink. Brought the car in to two toyota dealers and they said that there is a recall on this item however they do not have the parts to fix the problem. Car was in shop for over a week till I finally got tired of the stalling tactic. It appears that toyota is not complying with their agreement to fix the problem. In a different dealership they said they do have the parts but have no available appointments for quite some time. Am getting very concerned that this dangerous situation is not being handled properly and responsibly.
Srs warning light continues to illuminate at different occasions while driving. A recall was issued in 2014 and vehicle was taken to toyota dealer for recall repair. After repair SRS light continues to illuminate while driving. Vehicle was taken back to toyota dealer for repair but nothing could be done because it could not be duplicated or diagnostic equipment could not find or pull any malfunction codes. What now???

I am still waiting to hear from toyota of rockwall about getting the recall repair on my car. They still have not contacted me at all. I have been waiting since oct 31, 2014 to get this part and this recall repair done. As of dec 3, 2014 it has not been done. So I contacted cowboy toyota with the same results. They were supposed to order the part for the recall repair. I have not heard from them. I contacted toyota and they basically told me they didn't care if the repair was made or not and they were not going to tell the dealerships to cooperate with getting the repair done. Toyota hq doesn't care what their dealerships do or how they treat their customers.
The electronic control module went out on my 2003 toyota avalon. I was denied my claim for reimbursement for the $ 760.00 charge as it was a defective part.
