Takata recall elmore Toyota in westminster, ca. Flat out lied to me about my airbag replacement. Elmore Toyota is using deceitful tactics, and possibly, unlawful practices. I took my car to elmore on 08/19/2015 for the takata airbag recall. At that time, I told the service guy to check the molding around my windows, it's starting to come out, and needs to be tucked back in a few spots. And I asked him to give me an oil change while it was there. They didn't have replacement parts on hand, so they gave me a rental car, and told me, when the replacement parts arrive, they'll let me know. I call a couple times a week to check on my car, not a single returned call from elmore. Three full months go by, and I get a voice message from elmore telling me that my car was ready, he said to come pick it up, and that they won't pay anymore days on the rental. It's Monday 11/23/15, I wash, wax, and gas up the rental, and take it to elmore. Nobody can find my car. Nobody can find the guy who called me about it being ready for pick up. It wasn't in the computer. I wait, and wait. 45 minutes later, a service guy pulls up in my car, and it's covered with bird crap, and a (3) month layer of dirt. My car is washed, and waxed, once a week. It was immaculate when I took it to elmore. Obviously, my car sat outside on their lot for (3) months. I look and see that nothing was done with the molding, so I ask if the oil was changed, he didn't know. He said, "all I know is, they fixed the airbag". I asked him for the paperwork on my car, that shows what work was requested, and what work was done. They said they couldn't find any after I waited a other 30 min. I went home and immediately called the guy at elmore and left several messages, and emails, explaining that they didn't do the molding, or oil, my car was filthy, and no paperwork. Please get it and call me. Nothing. Consumer stated issues with airbag still not resolved and dealer still has not contacted consumer.

Takata recall I've been trying to get help with this problem with Toyota for months with nothing but very general responses, none of which, address my issue, explain Toyota's position, and negligence, or answer my questions. I'm going to ask you to get all the details from the prior complaints I've sent over the last two months. Please review and advise asap.

Airbag recall and the "airbag warning light remains illuminated" started. My vehicle was not recalled in the 2003 ' 2008 Toyota corolla airbag clock spring replacement recall. It was recalled for the drivers side airbag replacement and during that time the palo alto Toyota mechanic tried to fix the light but could not find the appropriate solution. Now my car is recalled for the replacement of the passenger side airbag and remains illuminated.

Takata recall (possibly) SRS airbag warning light was blinking and now it stays on at all times after startup. Also, passenger side airbag states "off" at all times. It appears all airbags are disabled. Vehicle went to local Toyota dealer 3/2/16 for air bag recall/issues. Appears problem not resolved. Attempting to contact dealer again.

Airbag recall. I have been trying to get my car fixed since October. The dealer cannot get the part. Each time I call the dealer they say the part has not arrived. Called the Toyota safety resolution team on 11/23 and they hooked me up with dealer. Same story, part is on order but may be months before we get the part.

Spiral cable assembly with electrical connections damaged. Airbag light stays on when the steering wheel is turned. A recall for 2009-2010 Matrix is in effect (www.autonews.com/article/20140409/copy01/304099971/Toyota-recalls-more-than-6-million-vehicles) but 2005 Matrix and other years are actually also affected by these defect. A recall for 2005 Matrix to replace airbag module is announced by Toyota but not for damaged spiral cable assembly which should be related to the airbag module defect as the airbag module is attached to the spiral cable assembly

Takata recall. Where to start. I received a letter in June 2015 about the recall. In December 2015 I filed a complaint with you because nothing was being done. Still nothing. In May 2016 my daughter received a letter also for the takata recall on her yaris with a letter saying not to let anyone ride in her front seat. Seriously? I was not told this. I could have killed someone or seriously injured them. (my daughter needs a rental btw because I doint want her driving her car till it is safe) when my dad found out he went to Toyota and guess what? suddenly they had the part for my car and ordered my daughters. They put it in yesterday. When I went to get my car I was informed that my passenger air bag light was on and that it needed a spiral assembly. For $476. Right. They said it was not related or covered. I found a web page with sixty three people who had the exact same thing happen to them. Now both my airbag lights are on and my clock does not work. I dont have the money to fix this. It is causing me extreme stress as I take care of my elderly mom and my grand daughter. I believe it is related. God only knows how many others this hhas happened to. It can not be a coincidence.I feel another recall needs to be done as the did do one in Canada but on adifferent model car. Cant remember...#nomoretoyotas

Takata recall. In regards to my recall airbag repair, why is it that my 2004 Toyota corolla already had the repair performed" seems I get a different answer everytime I ask that question. Now my 2005 Corolla matrix which is currently 11 years old is finally having this repair performed. And Toyota's recommendation is that I do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. What about the previous 11 years that rode in that seat with the same defect" if Toyota truly cared about my safety, they should have made that suggestion when they first knew of it. But they probably wouldn't have sold very many 4 passenger corollas set-up with 3 people in the back seat and only the driver sitting in front. Heck, to ensure the safety of their customers they should have removed the front passenger seat or removed the back of that seat along with the seat-belt to guarantee nobody rides in that seat. But none of those things happened simply because truth be told, it only became a safety issue once Toyota had to come to terms with the defect; their behavior is simply unacceptable. A sincere apology would state "for any inconveniences this has caused." Instead of "we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this will cause, but we are taking this action to ensure your safety." Caught in their own lie is what really occurred again if they truly cared we would have known about this problem asap.....the people I feel the most pain for are those unfortunate people who got into a front car accident and did everything right, but their airbag, that was supposed to save their life, wound up either injuring them or not doing its intended job all while Toyota knew of the problem. I hope nobody lost their life due to this because no amount of money can ever bring back that person. Just so un-Japanese behavior by a Japanese company, shame Toyota motors.
