Takata recall no remedy for my passenger airbag yet. Its taking too long. I cant have a front passenger with me.
Takata recall - no remedy has been provided and it has been eight months. The car was brought to the local dealer in july 2016 and as it was the family car we were urged to turn over the vehicle to the dealer in favor of a long term rental car until they were able to fix it. We have not heard anything ifrom toyota since and no one at the local dealer can tell us anything in regards to timeline for the remedy.

Takata recall. Attached notice received feb 2016. Toyota recommends not having anyone in the passenger seat. It's been approximately one year and a remedy is still not yet available.
My car is having an excessive oil consumption on which is a problem that toyota dealers are fully aware of and are not willing to do anything to fix the problem. Is unacceptable that a car with only 35,000 miles on it consumed all the oil out before it reaches 4,500 miles for service requirement. Government needs to do something about this fraudulent dealers whom are taking advantage of people like me and stating that according to toyotas protocol there is not problem with the car if its consuming all the oil out after the 2 test toyota performs. And they do not want customers to go with a private mechanic to perform the test because they take all of their liability off if someone else beside toyota mechanics touch the car. It's obvious they are hiding something again. Please help.

While driving a 2010 matrix, tuesday oct. 19,2010, approx. 30mphs. The car made a clicking sound as if a cruise control had been set but this car doesn't have cruise control. The car then took off a very high speed like a jet plane at take off. I was unable to control the brakes or steering. The vehicle travel approx. A half of a mile before hitting an embankment and then jumping out of the ditch and back onto the highway where it landed and stopped. The car is suppose to be equipped with six air bags but none of them deployed upon impact.
In july 2009 I purchased a new 2010 toyota matrix from sunrise toyota in oakdale , new york. When shopping for my vehicle I was looking for one that had a drivers side knee airbag since I had recently had knee surgery and a chronic knee problem. When looking at the 2010 toyota matrix the window sticker (monroney) indicated that the car came equipped with a drivers side knee air bag as standard safety equipment. The sales person also reiterated that the car had this safety equipment. I purchased the vehicle. In january of 2010, nearly 6 months after I purchased the toyota matrix, I received a letter from toyota telling me that my car did not have a drivers side knee airbag and that the monroney window sticker was wrong. As of the date of this compliant, despite my complaining to the dealership and toyota, I have not received any additional information from either the dealer or toyota as to how they intend to resolve this issue since I was deceptively sold a vehicle under the pretense that it had a safety option that it in fact did not. My story was recently publicized in the media with an article in newsday reporting on this serious error that places the public at risk.
