While not an expert in airbag design and operation, i cannot imagine a more clear-cut situation where the airbag…

When i complained about this, i was told that's how the new brakes are (i had previously owned an older vehicle) & the brake inspection found…

    To toyota : sending out an interim recall notice #16v-340 saying you are preparing a remedy is not satisfactory this recall has been ongoing for months and a remedy should have already been completed. Toyota had plenty of time to prepare this remedy. Advising owners not to drive vehicle with passengers in front is certainly not conducive when you only have one vehicle to use. You should provide another vehicle in…
