What owners report
TRAVELING ON FREEWAY AT 60 MPH WHEN ENGINE STOPPED. THIS CREATED A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD AS I HAD TO CROSS FOUR LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SHOULDER WITH NO POWER. AFTER TOW, IT WAS ORIGINALLY DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED FUEL PUMP. IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED THAT, THOUGH THE GAS GAUGE READ 1/3 FULL, THE TANK WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REMOVE THE GAS TANK TO REPLACE THE FAULTY FUEL SENSOR.
TAKATA RECALL, IT HAS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR, MAYBE MORE, SINCE I GOT THE FIRST FLYER TO HAVE MY AIR BAG REPLACED. I HAVE GOT MORE OVER THE MONTHS. EVERY TIME, I CALL IN AND TRY TO ARRANGE AN APPOINTMENT I AM TOLD THAT THEY ARE GOING OUT IN WAVES AND THAT I WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN I CAN GET THIS POTENTIALLY LETHAL AIR BAG REPLACED. THEN MORE TIME GOES BY I GET ANOTHER FLYER AND THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WITH NO RESOLUTION. I FIND IT A BIT UNSETTLING THAT THAT PROCESS WOULD TAKE THIS LONG AND LEAVE CUSTOMERS STUCK WITH POTENTIALLY DEADLY VEHICLES.
I WAS OWNER OF A TOYOTA YARIS 2008, WHEN THE TAKATA AIRBAGS WERE SUBJECT TO A RECALL. I WRITTING BECEAUSE I RECEIVED AN MAIL ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.
MY CAR'S AIRBAG IS PART OF THE RECALL (NHTSA RECALL #16V340) BUT NEITHER TOYOTA NOR TAKATA HAS CONTACTED ME
TAKATA RECALL ISSUED 01/09/2017. NO NOTIFICATION RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA AS OF 02/17/2017. LEARNED OF RECALL FROM NHTSA WEBSITE, NOT FROM TOYOTA.
