“I am still waiting for my passenger side airbag to be replaced. Is takada/Toyota ever going to be required to replace it? My car is 2007 with only 85,000 miles on it and I want to keep it. When will the airbags be replaced?”
NHTSA complaint #11337439, filed 2020-07, 80,000 miles“I was in a car accident last year and I was sitting on the passenger seat and my husband was on the drivers seat along with my two children in the back seat. We were rear ended by high speed vehicle driving erratically. All of us suffered whip lash and back injuries in the accident. Also, the airbag never got deployed and the air bag sign is on the dash board. This is very dangerous life and death situation and I am upset for buying a brand new car which I hoped that all safety equipment will be working. I was shocked and hurt at the same time. …”
NHTSA complaint #11323606, filed 2020-05, 35 miles“I have received three (3) separate recall notices to fix the airbag on the front passenger side of my vehicle. Toyota has not allowed me to drive a safe vehicle in over 10 years. I do not feel confident that they will ever make it safe. The NHTSA needs to step in and fix this issue immediately. Even the united states district court of the southern district of florida has stepped in with a class action settlement. Toyota and takata should not be able to continue to do business in the united states until all of this is successfully resolved.”
