2000 Toyota Corolla

TAKATA RECALL: I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT MY AIRBAGS AND I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT IF MY CAR WAS EVER RECALLED FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. TOYOTA WILL ONLY TELL ME IF THE CAR IS UNDER A RECALL PRESENTLY. IF IT EVER WAS, THE NOTICE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM IN 2001. IF THERE EVER WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS, DOESN'T TOYOTA STILL NEED TO REPLACE THEM??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V286000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE RECALL PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TRAVELING ON A LOCAL HWY AND A VEHICLE, TWO CARS IN FRONT, MADE A SUDDEN LEFT TURN CAUSING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TO LOCK DOWN THEIR BRAKES THUS CAUSING ME TO STOP ABRUPTLY. MY BRAKING SYSTEM LOCKED MY WHEELS DOWN CAUSING ME TO SLIDE INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT 35 MPH. UPON IMPACT, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SEATBELT DID NOT KEEP ME FROM HITTING THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING INJURIES TO MY HEAD, NECK AND BODY INJURIES FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM ALSO PREGNANT. WELLNESS FOLLOWUPS ARE BEING CONDUCTED. I MA TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO ACCESS DAMAGES AND FIND OUT WHY THE SEATBELT AND AIRBAG FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THE PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ALSO SUSTAINED INJURIES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 TOYOTA COROLLA. DURING A CRASH AT 15 MPH, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELTS MALFUNCTIONED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. DUE TO THE LACK OF RESTRAINT BY THE SEAT BELT, THE CONTACT SEVERELY INJURED HER RIBS AND HAD TO BE HOSPITALIZED FOR TWO DAYS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE SALES DEALER AND THEY WERE NOT COOPERATIVE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 70,000. UPDATED 04/28/08. *LJ

THE PROBLEM I NOTICED WITH THIS VEHICLE, WAS WITH THE BRAKES EVERY TIME I WOULD BRAKE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP ON COMMAND THE CAR WOULD CONTINUE TO GLIDE. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED WAS BASICALLY I DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND I WAS IMAGINING THIS PROBLEM. UNTIL THIS DAY THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN MY FIANCE WAS IN AN HEAD ON COLLISION IN MY CAR, THE FRONTAL AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AS A RESULT HE INJURED HIS NECK AND BACK. THE REPAIRS WERE DONE ON MY CAR BY THE DEALERSHIP ,AND KNOW MY AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND THAT ALSO HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WHICH HAD OCCURRED AFTER MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO THEM FOR REPAIRS. THE LIGHTS IN MY DASH BOARD HAVE ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE OUT. *JB
