THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN USA IN 2004, AND WAS LEGALLY TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER COUNTRY IN 2010. THE RECALLS WERE NOT RECEIVED IN TIME TO TAKE ACTION AND FIX THE CAR IN USA. THE OTHER COUNTRY DOES NOT HAVE THE “KNOW HOW” TO FIX WHAT IS STATED IN THE RECALLS (TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND A ENGINE CONTROL MODULE RECALL). CAN YOU STOP SENDING SAFETY RECALLS IN USA AND REDIRECT THEM TO THE OTHER COUNTRY? CAN YOU PROVIDE THE “KNOW HOW” TO THE NEW COUNTRY TO FIX THE CAR? TOYOTA HAS OFFICES AND REPAIR STORES IN THE NEW COUNTRY. THE VEHICLE IS NOT REGISTERED IN USA DMV SINCE 2010, BUT IT IS IN THE NEW COUNTRYS DMV. *TR

NHTSA RECALL NO. 19V-741: I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THIS RECALL. I'M ATTACHING COPIES OF THE LETTER, ON WHICH I WROTE NOTES OF MY CONVERSATIONS WITH TOYOTA AND WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW SOME INFORMATION I BELIEVE IS RELEVANT TO MY COMPLAINT. HALL TOYOTA OF ELIZABETH CITY IS THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO ME, AND IS ALMOST 2 HOURS DRIVE AWAY (ABOUT 90 MILES). THE RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA STATES, "IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER WHO WILL ARRANGE FOR VEHICLE PICK UP." THE DEALERSHIP ASSIGNED ME AN ADVISOR, RUSS, WHO SAID I NEEDED TO CALL TOYOTA TO HAVE THEM OPEN A CASE AND GIVE ME A CASE NUMBER. RUSS SAID TOYOTA WOULD THEN CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD WORK OUT ARRANGEMENTS TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND SPOKE WITH SOMEONE NAMED RAFAEL, WHO GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER (2002102338), BUT SAID THE DEALERSHIP WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TOWING CHARGE. HE SAID TOYOTA WAS NOT GOING TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP, AND THAT I NEEDED TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO ARRANGE TOWING. I CALLED RUSS AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHO SAID HIS SUPERVISOR WAS TALKING TO TOYOTA AND HE WOULD CALL ME LATER. THE NEXT DAY, AFTER NOT HEARING BACK, I CALLED RUSS, WHO SAID HIS SUPERVISOR HAD NOT YET HEARD BACK FROM TOYOTA, AND THE SUPERVISOR WOULD CALL ME WHEN HE HAD INFORMATION FROM TOYOTA. LATER THAT DAY RUSS CALLED ME TO SAY TOYOTA AGREED TO COVER $120 OF THE TOWING CHARGE, WHICH RUSS SAID WOULD RUN AROUND $500 TO $550. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT PAY THE DIFFERENCE, SO I WOULD NEED TO PAY THE REST MYSELF. THIS SEEMS CONTRARY TO WHAT IS STATED IN TOYOTA'S LETTER. RAFAEL AT TOYOTA STATED THEY ABSOLUTELY WERE NOT RECOMMENDING I DRIVE 2 HOURS TO THE DEALERSHIP. I SEEM TO BE LEFT WITH NO GOOD OPTION. I'M OBVIOUSLY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT I SHOULDN'T NEED TO PAY $400+.

LAST WEEK WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS SO WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY TO DRIVE MY CAR. I WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH IF MY CAR HAD A AIRBAG RECALL AND IT DID. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO DO THE REPAIR. WHILE I WAS WAITING THERE THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM, I WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE SPIRAL CABLE (CODE B1811). IF I DIDN'T REPLACE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL GOING TO BE THERE AND THE AIRBAG WASN'T GOING TO WORK IF I REPLACE THEM . THE HORN ON MY CAR HASN'T BEEN WORKING FOR SO MANY YEARS AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS CONNECTED WITH THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY. I PAID $510.22 TO REPLACE THAT. I'M THE ONLY OWNER FOR THAT CAR. TOYOTA COMPANY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SPIRAL CABLE BECAUSE IT IS CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG AND WE AS A CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT PAY FOR REPLACEMENT.MY CAR HAD 11 RECALLS SO FAR. OTHER TOYOTA'S HAVE RECALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT WITH 2005 YEAR OLD TOYOTA'S.
