Per an urgent safety recall notice I contacted a local dealer. Fred anderson of charleston, SC. The dealership informed me that the parts necesary to remedy this recall are on indefinite back order. They referred me to toyaota at 1-800-331-4331 and that there is no expected date to get parts to remedy this recall. I contacted the suggested 1-800 number and was told that the customer relations manager was to call me back within 2 business days to get an answer on a recall remedy. It's been 5 business days adn no retruned call from anyone at Toyota. Meanwhile, the recal notice infoms me taht noone should ride iin the passenger seat until remedied. I have a vehicle taht Toyota has deemed unsafe for passengers, but htey cannot keep commitments on phone calls nor can they tell me when the recall will be remedied.

Their has not been an incident yet, I am just trying to avoid a bad situation, but not getting any help from Toyota's end. I have brought in my Tundra multiple times to get the airbags checked out and they always said their was no problem. Then now I receive a recall letter in the mail and immediately call and setup an appointment because I am fixing to leave town for a new job. We set one up for July 30th and then a few days later I get a call and they cancelled the appointment because they don't have the airbag parts. I leave town this weekend, the 1st, in the Tundra with the recall and will be driving around Texas doing commercial construction work. I am trying to work with the dealership to get things done but the manager, jeff, just pretty much said ol well we can't do anything for you. He never offered a rental or any other alternative to them not having the parts. I got a call from megan at the corpus dealership and she has been more than helpful trying to figure out a solution or some alternative so I am not driving around in a deathtrap for the next 6 months. Your rental policy won't work very well considering I work 6-7 days a week and won't be near a dealership so I might not be able to just leave my new job to come switch vehicles with you. The inconvenience should be on the dealership/manufacturer, not the individual who paid for the vehicle. I hope to see some better customer service from Toyota, but I guess if something happens while I have to drive the Tundra around. I will just join the lawsuit

Safety recall notice received on this vehicle in may, 2015 for defective airbag. I called the eastern shore Toyota dealership, daphne, al and spoke to service tech. Benjamin. Benjamin said Toyota is not manufacturing the parts for the recalled airbags so the airbag can not be repaired at this time. Benjamin said the parts manufacturer will not make parts until September 2015. This is a dangerous situation. The dealership refused to make the repair as stated in the safety recall notice I received in the mail. The recall notice specifically states to not drive the vehicle due to the problems with the humidity and airbag deployment causing serious injury or potential death to anybody in the passenger seat of the vehicle. The manufacturer of the part is taking so much time to send the parts to make repairs.

I received a recall for airbag actuators in the right front. I took my vehicle to treasure coast Toyota on November 5,2014 at which time they disabled the air bag system and told me that the parts would be in and repairs would be done within 2 weeks.it is now March 6th 2015 and I`M still waiting for this to be resolved. It is my understanding from the dealership that the parts are on indefinite back order!!! I was told by the customer service rep on or around Feb. 27th 2015 that the parts for my 2005 vehicle were the only ones on back order. I would like to have this problem fixed.

  • 37,500 miles
2005 Toyota Tundra limited, I was hit back right middle of tire, caving in truck bed, losing complete control of vehicle, axle and transmission dismantled, went into a 360 spin with back tires completely bent and no control. Then hit head on at a high rate of speed over 35-45 mph. With air-bags not going off! truck was completely rebuilt with hidden cost not released to me. Resulting in truck being rebuilt, when it should've been totaled-out. Still waiting major back surgery after 15 months, loss of work. Insurance companies "hiding" hidden bills that would made my truck over 80% totaled. I need answers and help on why my air bags didn't deploy saving my life I once had, and bills that I didn't have! and yet Toyota signs off on my car saying it's safe to drive again with my children on the highways. And now front-end bearings are the #2 recall for the truck resulting in more damage and cost and safety to my family. Please help, if anyone has had problems with air-bag deployment not going off on this state of the art Toyota Tundra truck!
