During my scheduled visit to rogers and rogers nissan in the city of imperial ca. I felt that I was treated unfairly because I was the last person to be attended out of several vehicles that came after me. I was informed that repairing the defective airbag would take over three hours. I was not offered a ride home nor any efforts were made by rogers and rogers personnel to address my concerns when I informed them that I needed my vehicle and could not wait three hours. I continue to receive letters and emails informing me of the urgency of repairing the airbags, but I feel that rogers and rogers is not making it a priority. Please assist me.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 toyota corolla. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v741000 (air bags), however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Fred haas toyota country, 22435 sh 249, houston, tx 77070, confirmed parts were not available for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Received important safety recall in mail (the federal safety agency recall no. 19v‑741). Called local toyota dealer to schedule service. Dealership was unable to schedule service date due to not having parts on hand. I asked if other dealerships on island had parts and was told no. Dealership said they will call me to schedule appointment when parts are available; but, they do not have an estimated time on when that would be. Dealership told me it could be days, weeks, or months. This is not acceptable for a recall that could result in serious injury or death. Toyota dealers should provide a loaner car in the meantime or other compensation.
Was notified re recall. Immediately made appointment with berlin city toyota, 191 riverside st;, portland me 04103. Appointment confirmed. Arrived early this morning for replacement. Told the work could not be done. No parts! How could they co0nfirm an appointment weeks ago and not order the parts? Now I shall ignore the recall notice. Shouldn't government go after dealership failures to do the required recall?????
The air bag light came on in my car. I brought it to the dealership where they identified the problem as the pls p&a center airbag sensor and explained that the malfunction was the same as in other cars that had been recalled. Because it was the same malfunction, I believe that mine and other similar vehicles should be covered by the recall to prevent harm to other drivers.
Tl* the contact owned a 2006 toyota corolla. While driving approximately 35 MPH, a second vehicle crashed into the contact's vehicle. During the crash, the air bags did not inflate and improperly deployed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed away. The driver sustained neck, back, and left shoulder injuries that required medical treatment. Police report number: 2019000010196 was filed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 170,000.
The airbag light is on on the dashboard.
Vehicle's check air bag light came on. Toyota dealer says the spiral cable has failed and must be replaced. Toyota has issued a voluntary recall for other models for same issue, but not for 2006 corolla. No accident or damage to vehicle. Vehicle is in fl and dealer verbally stated this is a common problem in hot climate. Vehicle air bag is inoperable.
Had passenger airbag replaced via the first recall at the local toyota dealer (I-10 toyota in indio). When the car was returned to me, the airbag light was on. I brought it to the attention of the repair person and I was told the light was for a problem with the other airbag and I would have to spend $150 to get it fixed. Scam! I did not get it fixed so now I'm driving around with the airbag light on, not knowing if or when it will explode. This should be takata's expense, not mine.

Takata recall. Car was brought in for the recall in august 2018. Told by the dealership that the entire module needs to be replaced (because the sticker on the airbag was missing from a car that is over 12 years old) and the parts necessary were on back order & it would take 6 months to come in. In december, I was told there were around 205 people in front of me on the list for the same part. I've contacted toyota's corporate office multiple times with no eta, and very little customer service in trying to get this resolved. As of february 2019, I still do not have my car fixed and it's sitting at the dealership while I"m forced to drive a loaner that I have to renew every 30 days. I called toyota's regional office a few weeks ago and was told that this may take years before the parts are in and ready because the parts have to go through toyota testing and the government. I was originally told this would be a 3 hour fix, now it's been over 6 months and there's still no end in sight when the parts necessary will be received while my car rots from disuse on the toyota dealership grounds. The only reason I brought my car in was because toyota was hassling me about the recall and now they may never have the parts in to fix it (at least where I can still drive my car). This is absolutely unacceptable that parts are not being produced to fix these issues that toyota knows about in a timely manner.
Tl* the contact owned a 2006 toyota corolla. While the contact's mother was pulling into the driveway, her foot became stuck on the accelerator pedal and the vehicle continued to accelerate. As a result, the driver crashed into the living room wall of her home. The driver's face struck the steering wheel. The air bag did not deploy. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously serviced per an unknown recall related to the air bags. The contact's mother sustained bruises to the face, chest, and bleeding of the brain. Medical attention was received. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed and deemed totaled by the driver's insurance company. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 68,000.
Completed, however, the car was in an accident following this repair and the airbags did not deploy. The car flipped and was smashed completely in the front and on the left side. It appears that this is a crash where the airbags should have deployed. The car was in motion on a rural street and lost control when the front tire got caught in a rut on the side of the road.
I recieved the air bag error light coming on.
I recently had to take my car into the local toyota dealership because my airbag light came on and would not go off. I told the service rep that I had just recently had brought it in on the recall issued regarding the airbag defect. I was told it would cost me $131 just to diagnosis it. I argued that it should not cost me anything since there was initial issues with the airbag. I called the recall people and they agreed with me. I took my car in and was told by the tech that the problem was related to the spiral coil cable in the airbag. He said it was a nonrelated issue, which I argued how could it not be if its related to the airbag. He told me that my airbag may or may not deploy because of the spiral coil. I fail to see how the 2 are not interconnected. If one part of the airbag manufacturing was defected then it only reasons that other parts of the airbag could also be defective. Since they both are related to deployment. If the manufacture could produce one defective part or use defective material why could it not be reasoned that other parts are defective too. The manufacture should be concerned with public and individual safety not profit.! Upon further investigation I found others are having the same issues. They made and expensive product at the cost of the consumer (lives, money, time, and safety).all airbag issues should be included in this recall until the proper issues is identified. Maybe the sensor and the spiral coil are connected in proper deployment. This needs to be investigated asap and another recall issued before more injuries and deaths occur. Consumer safety should be number 1 priority in fixing and resolving this issue. I scared to drive my car but I have to.!!! Not knowing if the airbag will or will not deploy in the event of accident or if I hit a pot hole is just to risky. Toyota should fix all airbag complaints and issues without cost!!!
Air bag light came on and would not go off. Had to have the spiral cable replaced. It was not part of a recall on this particular vehicle. Note: it should have been recalled and replaced by toyota.
