Takata recall I was recently informed of my vehicle's involvement in this recall. When I contacted the toyota dealership to have the vehicle repaired I was told that they would not be able to complete the repair until 4 months to 18 months from now. They suggested that until then we just not use our front passenger seat. They have offered no other solution to this issue. It is my understanding that they have 60 days to provide a remedy so I would like to know what rights I have as a consumer.

Takata recall-sienna 2011- toyota is suggesting we do not use passenger seat and I have a family of 5 and carpool other children ages 11-16 using the passenger seat daily. They are stating they will not provide a rental that seats 7 like my van. Im concerned as I live in ca, hot climate, and the car is not garaged at home or work increasing the likelihood that the airbag is damaged. I feel they should provide a temporary substitute vehicle equal to my current until the airbag can be replaced.

Takata recall toyota has failed to provide or remedy the takata defect within a reasonable time frame. Metal fragments from inflator rupture could kill my family in the event of airbag rupture. I hold toyota responsible for knowing about this problem and not providing any solution to date.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 toyota sienna. The contact stated that the vehicle unintentionally accelerated as the brake pedal was depressed and failed to respond without warning. As a result, the contact crashed into a building. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The driver sustained neck and leg injuries however, it was unknown if medical attention was required. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
I was traveling in an area surrounded by construction barrels trying to navigate my turn. The person in front of me stopped suddenly, and I hit him in the rear. The vehicle sustained almost $9000 worth of damage, however was not totaled. The airbag did not deploy. We asked toyota for an explanation, and they finally sent a third party to investigate. We were sent the download of the crash data recorder, but no explanation of what it meant, and toyota determined that the airbag was not faulty, even though the crash data recorder shows I hit someone front-to-rear traveling 38 miles per hour. After waiting 3 months on toyota, we finally gave up and are having the vehicle repaired. I have a chronic neck condition which was not caused by the accident but was greatly aggravated and made more painful from the accident. We have asked toyota for an explanation of the data from the recorder, but have not been provided one, only sent a letter stating toyota was not at fault and that injuries such as mine aren't proven to be prevented by the airbag. ..updated 11/03/14 *bf updated 4/28/2015 *js

I was trying to park my van inside a campsite, driving at approx 1.2 MPH when my van took off like a rocket. I couldn't stop the car even by braking. Luckily my van went into a ditch, airbags opened up, van went down the ditch and came up at an angle and stopped. I was badly hurt and passed out for few minutes, taken to a local hospital emergency room. The 16 page report ordered by toyota thru' a 3rd party clearly showed that the car went from 1.2 MPH to 31.5 MPH, engine RPM went from 800 to 4800 RPM in 4.2 secs. I checked with a reputable auto mechanic. He commented that no one can manually ramp the engine RPM to 4800 RPM. It is clearly an issue with toyota's electronic system. Toyota has denied any issue with their car in a letter to me.I want the national highway transportation safety admin to take my case against toyota. I will be glad to email the report and toyota letter to you. Please reply soon.
The air bag warning light came on. I took it to the dealer. They said the airbag doesn't not work now and they are blaming in on a wiring issue, not an air bag issue. They want me to pay $220 to install a new spiral cable, but give me the part for free. This doesn't make sense. The toyota tacoma trucks had the same issue and they had a recall.

Electrical failure the clock loses time when you turn off engine then when you start engine it will give you warning to check vsc , SRS airbag is off , radio is off too. The autimatic lock is not functioning we have to lock doors manually. This is frustrating because we have a brand new car!!!
