WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS TO NO AVAIL. THIS LETTER IS IN RESPONSE TO YOUR 1/31/15 REPORT RE: THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS FOR THE ABOVE NAMED CAR. TOYOTA HAS BEEN ARGUING THAT THIS PROBLEM IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THEIRS. BUT BASED ON YOUR LATEST REPORT, IT SEEMS THAT WE ARE CORRECT IN HOLDING THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING IT. OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR INTO DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERS IN RESPONSE TO AIR BAG SYSTEM ELECTRONIC COMPONENT RECALLS. TO DATE OUR VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN PREPARED PROPERLY. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON, WHICH LEADS TO OUR CONCERN THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE. THE DEALERS AND TOYOTA CORPORATION INDICATE THAT THIS IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, BUT WE BELIEVE OTHERWISE. IF THE RECALL WAS DUE TO A FAULTY ELECTRONIC COMPONENT AIR BAG SYSTEM AND THE DEALERS WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE REPAIRED IT, THEN WHY DOES IT PERSIST?? WE BELIEVE TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WOULD LIKE IT REPAIRED ONCE AND FOR ALL BY TOYOTA, AS IT IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I DO NOT WANT MY FAMILY TO BECOME ANOTHER FATALITY STATISTIC. *TR
