A FRAME THAT HOLDS ENGINE IN VEHICLE IS ROTTED LOOKS LIKE SWISS CHEEZE IT SHOULD BE MADE OUT OF CAST IRON THATS A SAFETY ISSUE

Airbags did not deploy in passenger-side car accident. Neither passenger airbags nor driver airbags.

Vehicle is showing an evap canister, purge valve leak which is common across many Toyota`s of high mileage, I would get a faint smell of gas here and there and curious to know if this would be covered. Vehicle is still in great shape and runs strong. Please advise on next steps needed to have this taken care of.

My fiancee bought her 2008 Toyota Yaris on about the 26 Apr 2021. Right off she had brake failure pretty quickly after buying the car. Brake pads were suspected of failing. When the front tires were removed the calipers had built up thick rust on inside surface where the pads sit on both front calipers. The pads were pushed into the rotors heavily causing the driver side rotor to be damaged beyond acceptable limits. The right side rotor was turned successfully with enough rotor minimum thickness remaining. So the rust caused me to replace 1 rotor, both calipers and pads on front and rear brakes. The rust built up on the calipers threaded input and output brake fluid lines threaded attach points. This could have cause a fluid leak that could of been very dangerous leading to injury or death of occupants. I have not reported this to The Toyota dealership or anyone else. I didn't know I could report dangerous items that could be set for a safety recall by the NHTSA. As for the airbags, the driver airbag light stays on and passenger light comes on when 10 pounds of weight is sat in passenger seat. The belt is not latched. My driver seat belt is always latched when I drive. I weigh 130 but the light remains on. So, will the driver air bag inflator explode or fail due to the warning light illuminatimg. I was unaware of a recall for this and 3 others have not been repaired yet by previous owners. The third item is backseat seatbelt female receptical will not latch to the male end on 2 of the 3 seating positions. This is a real safety issue when we place children in the backseat. We can only take 1 child at each drive, so even adults riding in the backseat will be not buckled up, which is un-law and very dangerous causing severe injuries and even death in an accidental collision. I will take my Fiancee's 2008 Yaris to a Toyota dealership for the 4 recalls noted today by VIN,7/29/2021. Thanks, Richard Peavler

I WAS GOING 15-20 MPH ON ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY AND ACCIDENTALLY VEERED RIGHT HITTING THE GUARD RAIL ON THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE OF THE CAR. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND MY SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK, RESULTING IN MY FACE HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL, BREAKING MY NOSE AND CUTTING MY LIP.

I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET MY CAR'S AIRBAG RECALL DONE AT MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THIS IS PROBABLY THE 4-6TH TIME I TOOK IT AND WAS EXTREMELY PATIENT WITH THEM GETTING IT TO BE REPAIRED. I CONTINUE TO GET THESE LETTERS IN THE MAIL THAT MY CAR STILL HAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. THIS DEALER IS THE CLOSEST TO ME AND GOING ANYWHERE ELSE WOULD BE CAUSE AN INCONVENIENCE SINCE ITS ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY. I EVEN TOOK OFF WORK TO GET THIS DONE BUT IT WAS NEVER DONE. THE DEALER IS TOYOTA OF YORK OVER AT WHITEFORD RD. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE UNSAFE UNKNOWINGLY BECAUSE OF THEM NOT FIXING MY CAR LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN. RECALL ID: QNC7-IUA

HAD HIGHLAND TOYOTA REPLACE THE AIRBAGS UNDER THE TAKATA RECALL. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON PRIOR TO THIS REPAIR BUT AFTER THE REPAIR THEY HAD NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THE SRS WARNING LIGHT TO GO OUT. TOLD ME THEY HAD RESET IT AND TO DRIVE IT TO SEE IF IT WILL GO OUT ON ITS OWN IT NEVER HAS. SO HERE IT IS ABOUT 2 YEARS LATER AND STILL THE LIGHT IS ON. I KNOW I'VE SEEN OTHER ISSUES WITH THE SRS ON TOYOTAS COME TO LIGHT COULD THIS BE A RELATION TO THAT?

BOUGHT CAR WITH 99K MILES. NOTED A CLUNK IN SUSPENSION. DECIDED TO FIX BY PROCESS OF ELIMINATION.

ALSO, IF TOYOTA HAS KNOWN OF THE PROBLEM SINCE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED NINE YEARS AGO, THEN THE UNAVAILABILITY OF A FIX IN 2017 SIGNALS ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE INCOMPETENCE IN THE ORGANIZATION.
