We received safety recall notices the federal safety agency 16v‑096 and 15v‑577 stating we will be notified when a remedy is available. I have contacted the local dealership and was told I would be contacted when the parts came in (they had to be ordered). I have contacted the toyota customer service center who said that would check into the matter as too much time has elapsed in this repair process and they would also contact me. Neither the dealer or corporate has followed trough with the repair parts or repairs. I still cannot get the recalled repairs completed. I don't trust corporate toyota or their dealership in their handling of these recalls. I demand that nhysa investigate and report to me their findings.

I received a letter saying that I had a recall on the rear outward seat belt. I called on 7/25/16 and they told me that they didn't have a remedy to the problem. I told the rep that the letter sounded like they had a solution "dealer will install plastic covers over the metal seat frame." the rep informed me that although a solution was found, they didn't have the part. I called on 8/10/16 and they told me that the parts are not in. I called on 10/6/16..same thing...parts are not in. Not sure why it takes 3 months to get this part. I think my car also has an issue with the wiper motor and I never heard back regarding that either.
