2008 Toyota YARIS LIFTBACK - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"airbags did not deploy in passenger-side car accident. neither passenger airbags nor driver airbags."

"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"

"takata recall, it has been about a year, maybe more, since i got the first flyer to have my air bag replaced. i have got more over the months. every time, i call in and try to arrange an appointment i am told that they are going out in waves and that i will be notified when i can get this potentially lethal air bag replaced. then more time goes by i get another flyer and the same thing over and over again, with no resolution. i find it a bit unsettling that that process would take this long and leave customers stuck with potentially deadly vehicles."
