TAKATA RECALL WAS NOTIFIED OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL (NHTSA RECALL 17V006; MANUFACTUR RECALL NUMBER N162017009) ON JANUARY 10, 2017. IT IS CURRENTLY OCTOBER 28, 2017.I HAVE TRIED CALLING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE LAST 10 MONTHS, YET THEY CONTINUE TO CLAIM A FIX IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. AND THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS, I SHOULD NOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. MY WIFE IS PREGNANT WITH OUR SECOND CHILD AND IS DUE IN JUST OVER 2 WEEKS. THE 2009 PONTIAC VIBE CAR WILL ONLY FIT 2 CAR SEATS IN THE BACK ROW, WHICH MEANS THAT ONLY 3 PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO RIDE IN THE CAR DUE TO THIS AIRBAG RECALL. SINCE OUR DEALERSHIP SAID THAT NO FIX WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON, WE WILL BE FORCED TO USE A SECOND VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT OUR FAMILY ANYWHERE WE GO. THIS IS JUST PLAIN UNACCEPTABLE. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD DISCONNECT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, WHICH WOULD ALLOW A PASSENGER TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. SURE, IT MAY NOT BE AS SAFE AS DRIVING WITH AN AIRBAG, BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, IT IS A WHOLE LOT SAFER THAN HAVING A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT WITH A TAKATA AIRBAG. THE 2009 PONTIAC VIBE HAD ONLY 31,000 MILES ON IT WHEN WE WERE NOTIFIED. IT CURRENTLY HAS 37,000 MILES ON IT. THERE WAS A SIMILAR RECALL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG YEARS AGO. WE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IN 2012 OR 2013 ABOUT THE ISSUE AND TO CONTACT OUR DEALER (IN NEW MEXICO AT THE TIME). THEY CLAIMED NO FIX WAS AVAILABLE. IT WAS ONLY JUST ADDRESSED BY OUR NEW LOCAL DEALER (IN VIRGINIA) IN 2016 BECAUSE PARTS WERE "FINALLY AVAILABLE". THAT'S AT LEAST 3 YEARS AND WHILE ALSO UNACCEPTABLE, I DON'T HAVE ACTUAL DATES FOR IT. I AM FEARING THIS CURRENT PASSENGER TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WILL TAKE JUST AS MANY YEARS.

TAKATA RECALL. GM SENT A RECALL NOTICE TO ME BACK IN JANUARY 2017 ABOUT THE AIRBAG ISSUE, BUT NOW ALMOST 11 MONTHS LATER THEY STILL HAVE NOT STARTED FIXING THE PROBLEM AND WHEN I CALLED TODAY THEY STILL GIVE ME THE SAME STORY ABOUT INVESTIGATING THE BEST SOLUTIONS FOR THE PROBLEM AND CAN PROVIDE NO DATE WHEN THEY WILL ACTUALLY START FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS MY CAR IS "SAFE' TO DRIVE, BUT WHEN I ASKED HIM TO PUT THAT IN WRITING HE SAID THAT WASN'T POSSIBLE. I THINK SOME PRESSURE SHOULD BE PUT ON THESE COMPANIES TO START MAKING REPAIRS. I'VE HEARD OF OTHER COMPANIES MAKING THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. WHY ISN'T GM?

Oct 22, 2015
Toyota Motor Company (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 Tundra, Sequoia, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and Scion xB, 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2007 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2006-2011 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, and 2009-2010 Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. During the manufacturing of the Power Window Master Switch (PWMS), grease lubricant may have been inconsistently applied to the sliding electrical contacts.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the sliding electrical contacts are not protected by lubricant, debris and moisture that get into the switch may cause a short circuit and the switch assembly may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the switch, applying a lubricant if no abnormality is found. If abnormality is found, the PWMS circuit board will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 20, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is C0M.
Apr 9, 2014
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, 2008-2010 Highlander, and 2009-2010 Tacoma, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and General Motors Pontiac Vibe vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the steering column assembly contains electrical connections to the driver's airbag module housed in a spiral cable assembly, which includes a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC). Due to the shape and location of the FFC's retainer, the FFC could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the FFC is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. The failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.
Remedy: Toyota will notify the Toyota vehicle owners, and General Motors will notify the Pontiac Vibe owners. Toyota sent owners an interim notification letter in May 2014 to advise owners of the recall. Toyota will mail owners a second letter when remedy parts are available. General Motors sent Pontiac Vibe owners an Interim letter on June 20, 2014 notifying them that parts are currently unavailable. General Motors sent notices to the Pontiac Vibe owners on September 15, 2014, that a remedy is available. The recall began on October 27, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-762-2737.
Oct 10, 2012
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 Camry, Camry Hybrid, RAV4, Corolla, Corolla Matrix, Tundra, Sequoia, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Yaris, Scion xB, Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. The power window master switch assemblies in some of these vehicles were built using a less precise process for lubricating the internal components of the switch assemblies. Irregularities in this lubrication process may cause the power window master switch assemblies to malfunction and overheat.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire.
Remedy: Toyota will notify its owners, and dealers will inspect the switch and apply a special grease that inhibits heat build up or replace any switch damaged by the defect, free of charge. Toyota owners that experience a problem with a switch should not attempt to make repairs, but should contact their Toyota dealer or the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331. General Motors will contact the Pontiac Vibe owners affected by this recall and GM dealers will inspect and repair switches as necessary. Those owners may contact Pontiac Customer Care at 1-800-762-2737.
Jan 27, 2010
GENERAL MOTORS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2009 AND 2010 PONTIAC VIBE PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAN GET STUCK IN THE WIDE OPEN POSITION DUE TO ITS BEING TRAPPED BY AN UNSECURED OR INCOMPATIBLE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A STUCK OPEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY RESULT IN VERY HIGH VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy: GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOTIFY CUSTOMERS WHEN A RECALL REMEDY IS AVAILABLE FOR RECALL 10038: FLOOR MAT INTERFERENCE AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL. GM REQUESTS THAT CUSTOMERS TAKE OUT ANY REMOVABLE (CARPETED, ALL-WEATHER, OR OTHER) DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT AND NOT REPLACE IT WITH ANY OTHER FLOOR MAT, AND PLACE IT IN THE TRUNK UNTIL THE FLOOR MAT INTERFERENCE AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL RECALL REMEDY IS READY AND IMPLEMENTED. IN THE EVENT THAT OWNERS CHOOSE NOT TO TAKE OUT THEIR REMOVABLE FLOOR MAT, GENERAL MOTORS STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT OWNERS USE ONLY FLOOR MATS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE MODEL AND MODEL YEAR OF THEIR VEHICLE, AND THAT IT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED AND SECURED. DO NOT USE A MAT THAT IS FLIPPED OVER WITH THE BOTTOM-SIDE UP, AND DO NOT STACK ONE FLOOR MAT OVER ANOTHER. IN ADDITION, CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE ACCELERATOR, BRAKE, AND CLUTCH (IF APPLICABLE) PEDALS TO ASSURE THAT THE FLOOR MAT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THEM. OWNERS MAY CONTACT PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668 OR AT THE OWNER CENTER AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
Jan 21, 2010
GENERAL MOTORS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2009 AND 2010 PONTIAC VIBE VEHICLES. DUE TO THE MANNER IN WHICH THE FRICTION LEVER INTERACTS WITH THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSIDE THE PEDAL SENSOR ASSEMBLY, THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE LEVER MAY BECOME SMOOTH DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. IN THIS CONDITION, IF CONDENSATION OCCURS ON THE SURFACE, AS MAY OCCUR FROM HEATER OPERATION (WITHOUT A/C) WHEN THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS COLD, THE FRICTION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS OPERATED MAY INCREASE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOMING HARDER TO DEPRESS, SLOWER TO RETURN, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY BECOME HARD TO DEPRESS, SLOW TO RETURN TO IDLE, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REINFORCEMENT BAR IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHICH WILL ALLOW THE PEDAL TO OPERATE SMOOTHLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN EARLY FEBRUARY AND BE COMPLETED IN LATE APRIL 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668 OR AT THE OWNER CENTER AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
Aug 31, 2009

WHEN DRIVING UNDER CERTAIN UNIQUE CONDITIONS IN EXTREMELY LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, THE INTAKE MANIFOLD SUCTION PORT FOR THE BRAKE VACUUM CAN BECOME LOCKED DUE TO THE FREEZING OF CONDENSATION RESULTING FROM POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE BRAKE VACUUM LINE FREE OF CHARGE. A SPECIAL ADVISORY LETTER WILL BE SENT TO OWNERS OF VEHICLES REGISTERED IN ALL OTHER STATES IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE OCTOBER 23, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668 OR AT THE OWNER CENTER AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
