“1. Faulty tk airbags - I got a notice over mail about it. 2. My side door opened during driving, I then found out there is a recall for sliding power doors (electric issue) - I contacted local Toyota dealership, but they said they cannot handle it in the next 5 months as they have no parts.”
NHTSA complaint #11047536, filed 2017-11, 43,000 miles“Passenger airbag fails to engage when passenger sits in passenger seat. Airbag indicator says the airbag is not engaged when someone sits in the passenger seat.”
NHTSA complaint #11221390, filed 2019-06, 55,000 miles“When the vehicle was started, the srs airbag light came on. The vehicle was taken to the local Toyota dealership the next morning to diagnose. However, no error codes were able to be retrieved from the obdii. They reset the computer to clear the light and advised that nothing could be done without an error code. They advised to take the vehicle down to an auto parts store immediately if the light came on again, in order to get an error code. A week later, the light came on again. As advised, the vehicle was taken down to an auto parts store immediately to have the code read. …”
NHTSA complaint #10508473, filed 2013-04, 1,400 miles“Takata recall: our local dealer says the airbag fix will be months from now due to backordered parts. They say, in the meantime, do not sit in the front passenger seat. We use this car every day with kids needing transportation. The dealer timeframe is unacceptable. Are there any independent companies who can fix the airbag?”
