“July 2015 I received notice of the airbag recall for my vehicle. I have called the information # x2 only to be told this recall will be managed by zones. There is no plan for my zone apparently and no one at Toyota can tell me what zone I am in and when that zone will receive attention. In addition, although they offer you an alternative vehicle they do not offer you a comparable vehicle. I now have a vehicle that I can't fit eveyone in, no plan to fix my vehicle and no workable replacement vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10782837, filed 2015-10, 166,000 miles“I have had a safety recall on my vehicle. First notification came in july. 6-7 weeks later still waiting. Contacted Toyota directly via the number provided. Their only comment is that they have done their part by alerting me to the safety issue and when the part comes the part comes. They had no concern for the fact that this means I have to drive two vehicles to get my family anywhere, although they did encourage me to go rent a vehicle from the dealership until the parts come in. Really? An indefinite rental cost for something that is a manufacturer defect? …”

First it was the vsc solid light coming on then off on it own, after some months, the airbag light came on then off then solid on, I went to the Toyota dealer to get it check out, and they couldn`t find what is making the airbags light to come on.
