The airbag light turned on and stay there while driving and when the vehicle was stationary. It was recalled & replaced, but it's making the same thing.
I just spoke with toyota regarding the remedy for the airbag recall problem. I was informed that I will be receiving a letter soon that states that they still don't have a remedy for this problem. How long can they get away with potentially endangering my passenger by not repairing this problem?

Takata recall elmore toyota in westminster, ca. Flat out lied to me about my airbag replacement. Elmore toyota is using deceitful tactics, and possibly, unlawful practices. I took my car to elmore on 08/19/2015 for the takata airbag recall. At that time, I told the service guy to check the molding around my windows, it's starting to come out, and needs to be tucked back in a few spots. And I asked him to give me an oil change while it was there. They didn't have replacement parts on hand, so they gave me a rental car, and told me, when the replacement parts arrive, they'll let me know. I call a couple times a week to check on my car, not a single returned call from elmore. Three full months go by, and I get a voice message from elmore telling me that my car was ready, he said to come pick it up, and that they won't pay anymore days on the rental. It's monday 11/23/15, I wash, wax, and gas up the rental, and take it to elmore. Nobody can find my car. Nobody can find the guy who called me about it being ready for pick up. It wasn't in the computer. I wait, and wait. 45 minutes later, a service guy pulls up in my car, and it's covered with bird crap, and a (3) month layer of dirt. My car is washed, and waxed, once a week. It was immaculate when I took it to elmore. Obviously, my car sat outside on their lot for (3) months. I look and see that nothing was done with the molding, so I ask if the oil was changed, he didn't know. He said, "all I know is, they fixed the airbag". I asked him for the paperwork on my car, that shows what work was requested, and what work was done. They said they couldn't find any after I waited a other 30 min. I went home and immediately called the guy at elmore and left several messages, and emails, explaining that they didn't do the molding, or oil, my car was filthy, and no paperwork. Please get it and call me. Nothing.*dt*dt consumer stated issues with airbag still not resolved and dealer still has not contacted consumer.*jb
Airbag recall and the "airbag warning light remains illuminated" started. My vehicle was not recalled in the 2003 ' 2008 toyota corolla airbag clock spring replacement recall. It was recalled for the drivers side airbag replacement and during that time the palo alto toyota mechanic tried to fix the light but could not find the appropriate solution. Now my car is recalled for the replacement of the passenger side airbag and remains illuminated.

Takata recall (possibly) SRS airbag warning light was blinking and now it stays on at all times after startup. Also, passenger side airbag states "off" at all times. It appears all airbags are disabled. Vehicle went to local toyota dealer 3/2/16 for air bag recall/issues. Appears problem not resolved. Attempting to contact dealer again.
Takata recall. Toyota says I should not drive my car without replacing the air bag. Their dealer has no parts. I have been waiting 6 months. They continue to bug me to fix the car. They fail to provide parts. I cannot get a resolution.
Takaya recall had passenger side recall completed, airbag light came on, code indicated drivers side airbag clock spring. Repairs completed at toyota of redlands, redlands ca. Cost $502
Takata recall. Where to start. I received a letter in june 2015 about the recall. In december 2015 I filed a complaint with you because nothing was being done. Still nothing. In may 2016 my daughter received a letter also for the takata recall on her yaris with a letter saying not to let anyone ride in her front seat. Seriously? I was not told this. I could have killed someone or seriously injured them. (my daughter needs a rental btw because I doint want her driving her car till it is safe) when my dad found out he went to toyota and guess what? Suddenly they had the part for my car and ordered my daughters. They put it in yesterday. When I went to get my car I was informed that my passenger air bag light was on and that it needed a spiral assembly. For 476.00. Right. They said it was not related or covered. I found a web page with sixty three people who had the exact same thing happen to them. Now both my airbag lights are on and my clock does not work. I dont have the money to fix this. It is causing me extreme stress as I take care of my elderly mom and my grand daughter. I believe it is related. God only knows how many others this hhas happened to. It can not be a coincidence.I feel another recall needs to be done as the did do one in canada but on adifferent model car. Cant remember...#nomoretoyotas
Takata recall. In regards to my recall airbag repair, why is it that my 2004 toyota corolla already had the repair performed? Seems I get a different answer everytime I ask that question. Now my 2005 corolla matrix which is currently 11 years old is finally having this repair performed. And toyota's recommendation is that I do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. What about the previous 11 years that rode in that seat with the same defect? If toyota truly cared about my safety, they should have made that suggestion when they first knew of it. But they probably wouldn't have sold very many 4 passenger corollas set-up with 3 people in the back seat and only the driver sitting in front. Heck, to ensure the safety of their customers they should have removed the front passenger seat or removed the back of that seat along with the seat-belt to guarantee nobody rides in that seat. But none of those things happened simply because truth be told, it only became a safety issue once toyota had to come to terms with the defect; their behavior is simply unacceptable. A sincere apology would state "for any inconveniences this has caused." instead of "we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this will cause, but we are taking this action to ensure your safety." caught in their own lie is what really occurred again if they truly cared we would have known about this problem asap.....the people I feel the most pain for are those unfortunate people who got into a front car accident and did everything right, but their airbag, that was supposed to save their life, wound up either injuring them or not doing its intended job all while toyota knew of the problem. I hope nobody lost their life due to this because no amount of money can ever bring back that person. Just so un-japanese behavior by a japanese company, shame toyota motors.

Takata recall: I received a safety recall notice for my 2005 toyota matrix in the mail over 9 months ago stating that when parts are available, toyota will reach out to me to "remedy the defect". And that in the the meantime "until the remedy becomes available in my location, it is recommended that I do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat." I have not received any further notifications regarding this and believe that toyota has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time. Please let me know at your earliest convenience when I can expect to have this remedied.

Takata recall - received recall notice in spring '15, never received update on remedy. Checked with dealer in oct. '15, told parts still not available. Called dealer today (jan. 9, 2016), was given no information. Called toyota national office, told parts were ready in december for remedy. National office called my dealer (continental toyota, countryside, il, 708‑354‑5800) to make appointment for remedy. In recall notice, it states to contact you if toyota has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time. Have had to cram my wife and two teenage children in the backseat for at least 6 months as we warned not to operate vehicle with occupant in front passenger seat. Finally have appointment for monday, jan. 11, 2016
Takata recall: my complaint is that the federal safety agency site says the recall was 6/16/2015. I only got the notice in probably august but there is not date on it. This means I cannot carry a passenger in my front passenger seat without liability. I have called the dealer and toyota. Neither knows any time this will be fixed in my area, oregon. It is ridiculous that I have to can't carry a passenger in my car for such a long time. Is there a fix? When are you requiring toyota to supply parts? Can I ask them fora rental car until they get this fixed? They should have dated their letter!

Takata recall: in june 2015 I received this notice of a safety recall due to the airbag inflators possibly being manufactured in such a way as to where they could retain moisture which could rupture and cause serious injury or death.I am advised to not let anyone sit in the passenger seat till it is fixed. It has been six months! This is way way beyond a reasonable amount of time to have this fixed. Horrible customer service toyota! I am the care taker of my elderly parents and drive them on errands and to appts ect. I also care for my grand daughter. And carpool to school. This has been a hugh burden on me. For the record my air bag light is always on, and my clock and stereo keep resetting. The passenger airbag constantly blinks and the no seat belt sign blinks and beeps as if someone was sitting there with out a seatbelt. You are unprepared to fix this situation, and I find this unacceptable. Everytime I get in my car, I am worried they could deflate and injure or kill myself or my parents or granddaughter. Unfortunately I have no choice but to use my vehicle as it is the only one I have. You may contact me asap regarding a rental car until this is resolved. I am no longer putting my life at risk because you are unprepared ! I will be filing a complaint with the bbb as soon as I am done with this, and will contact an attorney if need be. Awaiting your prompt reply regards, linda
