What owners report

On Wednesday, February 7, I was driving our 2007 Toyota Sequoia 4x4 on a rural road that had had fresh snow the night before, but no sand or other road salt was laid down. It is a curvy and hilly road. I had driven on the road an hour earlier with no problems. At approximately 9 am, I encountered a patch of ice where there was a curve in the road and my SUV that had brand new Michelin tires on collided with a tree that was part of an island in the middle of the road. The tree was approximately 15 inches in diameter. The collision struck directly on left side of engine by headlight'plowing in approximately 9 inches and deflated front tire. Front suspension was broken as is hood ( see picture). No airbags deployed?? I was going approximately 25-30 MPH at impact. My airbag on drivers side was recalled with Takata recall and replaced , but I wonder if it was installed properly or wrong? …

We have received a recall notice (NHTSA recall id 15V286) for our 2007 Toyota Sequoia (VIN [redacted]) over the summer. We have made numerous attempts to have the recommended repair performed. However, we were placed on waiting lists at two local dealerships because the part was on backorder. I have since made 4 phone calls to Toyota corporation ([phone]; case # [redacted]) because the recall letter recommends letting no one occupy the passenger seat until the repair has been made. I was initially told they would facilitate a loaner car since the part was still on back order. Now I am told there is a dealer hours away that has the part though the local dealers do not. It makes no sense to me how or why some dealers are receiving the part while others are not. …

"Takata recall" while entering the ramp to get on the eastex fwy. (ih 59) north bound, I observed that up ahead of me a vehicle was in a complete stop while on the freeway. I tried to switch lanes but I had another vehicle to my left which made it impossible for me to switch lanes. I then ran into the back of the other car which caused the accident. After colliding with the stopped vehicle, I was thrust forward into the steering wheel of my car. The driver's side airbag did not deploy and there was nothing to prevent my face, head, and upper body from crashing into the steering wheel and front windshield of my car.

I tried to make apointments to local dealers they set up appointments and than don't do nothing about it they said the don't have any certified tech to do the job so I left with this mess not knowing when my ride is going to give. Out on me I got about 319000 miles Toyota should be proud and thank me for keeping my ride up to date I do my part to have it running good but they not doing there part to help me with these recalls please help me out.

I received a recall notice for the airbag as part of the large recall notice. I took the truck in for a replacement part and the dealer did not have the part at the time. It has been 2 months and still no part or any idea when one will be available. I now have a vehicle that is limited in its use and can not sell, due to the liability of the new owner not following the recommendation to not use the passenger seat. Seems like if a recall is initiated there should be a timely resolution.

The vehicle was stationary then the gears were moved while having foot on brakes however the breaks were stuck and the vehicle was not able to be stopped causing it to run into the house which had caused unbelievable damage. None of the airbags deployed.

July 2015 I received notice of the airbag recall for my vehicle. I have called the information # x2 only to be told this recall will be managed by zones. There is no plan for my zone apparently and no one at Toyota can tell me what zone I am in and when that zone will receive attention. In addition, although they offer you an alternative vehicle they do not offer you a comparable vehicle. I now have a vehicle that I can't fit eveyone in, no plan to fix my vehicle and no workable replacement vehicle. To add to the safety concerns there is no guarantee by vehicle will get fixed within the next year, much less be available and safe for the winter months when ice and snow in mn often require a 4 wheel drive vehicle for the 50 mile round trip to work.
