THE RECALL REMEDY FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN 15V043000 IS A FAILURE. AN IDENTICAL SYMPTOM TO THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM HAS RECURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS (INTERMITTENT ILLUMINATION OF THE SRS SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT). PRIOR TO THE RECALL, WE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE ERROR CODE DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOLLOWING ILLUMINATION OF THIS WARNING LAMP. HOWEVER, NO ERROR CODES WERE STORED. NOW, THE DEALERSHIP (LOU FUSZ, ST. LOUIS) CLAIMS THAT THEY MUST CHARGE US TO ATTEMPT TO READ ANY STORED CODES. OBVIOUSLY, TOYOTA ENGINEERS DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AFTER HAVING A FIRST RECALL THAT FAILED FOLLOWED BY A SECOND RECALL AND NOW RECURRENCE OF IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS.

TOYOTA INFORMED ME OF SAFETY RECALL 15V-043. IT REQUIRES REPLACING TWO CIRCUIT BOARDS. THE CONDITION IS THAT THE CAR CAN DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT ANY IMPACT. TODAY, AFTER WAITING 90 DAYS THE PARTS STILL HAVE NOT ARRIVED. TOYOTA DEALER (JOSEPH AIRPORT TOYOTA) IS UNABLE TO TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL ARRIVE. TOYOTA CORPORATION IS UNABLE TO TELL ME WHERE I AM ON THE WAITING LIST. MY LOCAL DEALER TRIES TO HELP BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE NOW REFUSES TO DRIVE IT. SHE IS AFRAID IN IT. WE NEED TO GET THIS FIXED QUICK. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE? A COMPANY LIKE TOYOTA SHOULD SURELY HAVE SOME INFORMATION THEY COULD PROVIDE REGARDING THIS PART. IT DOES NOT TAKE THREE MONTHS TO MAKE THESE PARTS!
