  WAS TRAVELING ON CONSTANTINE DRIVE ON MY WAY TO BEACH BLVD IN HUNTINGTON BEACH. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, I HAD GLANCED DOWN TO LOOK AT MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM I NOTICED THAT I WAS CLOSE TO A PARKED CAR AND PUT ON MY BRAKES.

EYEWITNESSES TO THE CRASH BELIEVE THAT A GUST OF WIND CAUSED THE CAR TO FLIP OVER. THE POLICE WHO ARRIVED ON THE SCENE SHORTLY THEREAFTER COULD NOT FIND A JUSTIFICATION FOR WHAT HAD OCCURRED AT THE LOW RATE OF SPEED THAT I WAS TRAVELING.

I ALSO AM CONCERNED ABOUT TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT MAY BE IN MY VEHICLE, BUT I DON'T SEE A RECALL NOTICE (ALTHOUGH I REGULARLY RECEIVE MAIL ABOUT POTENTIAL TAKATA AIRBAG RECALLS). THE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH IN THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICANT GREASE. RECALL STATUS RECALL INCOMPLETE REMEDY TOYOTA IS CURRENTLY PREPARING THE REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION. ONCE REMEDY PREPARATIONS ARE COMPLETE, TOYOTA WILL SEND AN OWNER NOTIFICATION LETTER BY FIRST CLASS MAIL TO OWNERS OF VEHICLES COVERED BY THIS SAFETY RECALL. ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON THE REMEDY WILL BE PROVIDED IN FUTURE COMMUNICATIONS. SAFETY RISK DESCRPITION IF SUFFICIENT GREASE IS NOT APPLIED, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE SWITCH MAY DEVELOP A SHORT CIRCUIT THAT CAN CAUSE THE SWITCH ASSEMBLY TO OVERHEAT AND MELT. A MELTING SWITCH CAN PRODUCE SMOKE AND POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A FIRE.

  I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT BRAKE PROPERLY IF I HAPPENED TO BE BREAKING OVER AN UNEVEN SERVICE YEARS AGO. SO, I DRIVE TO AVOID HAVING TO DO SO. BUT, THEN RECENTLY IT STARTED MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE ALONG WITH BREAKING. IT COMES AND GOES. THEN, A CLUNKING NOISE STARTED WHEN REVERSING. NOW, THE CLUNKING NOISE COMES IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE SQUEALING HAS GRADUATED TO SCRATCHING AND SCRAPING WHEN I ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE. IT COMES FROM MY FRONT, PASSENGER SIDE TIRE AND WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT, IT GETS VERY LOOSE - WHEREAS TURNING ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT STILL FEELS APPROPRIATELY TIGHT. I THINK THE LOOSENESS IS CONNECTED TO THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL, AS IF A PIECE HAS BROKEN OR IS LOOSE - BECAUSE IT COMES AND GOES. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHEN I'M MOVING, NO MATTER WHAT TERRAIN IT IS (HIGHWAY, CITY STREET, ETC.) AND WHETHER I AM TURNING OR NOT.

TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT ALL THE TOYOTA YARIS 2009 HAVE THE SAME BAD ODOR PROBLEM IN THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT, AND THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I ASKED FOR A FIX TO THIS PROBLEM BUT THE ANSWER I RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WAS THAT THEY ARE STILL COLLECTING COMPLAINTS AND INFORMATION TO REQUEST A RECALL OR FIX FROM THE TOYOTA COMPANY, WHICH CAN TAKE AN INDEFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME.

FINALLY, I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE IN TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL WORK. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED, HOWEVER, AS SOON AS I RETURNED HOME THE AIRBAG PANEL ON THE DRIVER SIDE DETACHED FROM THE AREA COVERING THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO CONNECT THE PANEL. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THEM ON TWO OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND EACH TIME THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE PANEL BACK IN PLACE. THE PANEL IS NOW HANGING AGAIN EXPOSING THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I'M AFRAID THE AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY WITH THE PARTS BEING EXPOSED. I THINK THE DEALER BROKE SOMETHING THAT KEEPS THE PANEL IN PLACE AND IS NOT DOING WHAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ASSURE MY SAFETY...I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO ABOUT THIS OTHER THAN CONTACTING YOU GUYS AND PERHAPS THE TOYOTA ZONE OFFICE. WHAT IS YOUR SUGGESTION? I HAVE BEEN PUSHING IT BACK IN PLACE OFTEN MYSELF SINCE THAT TIME AND NOW IT JUST WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE.

WE ONLY HAVE PAPERWORK FOR SIX OF THE INCIDENTS. WHEN WE BRING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, THEY JUST RESET THE LIGHT (TURN IT OFF) AND THEY HAVE ASKED US NOT TO PUSH THE SEAT BACK, BUT TO KEEP IT IN THE MID RANGE OF THE RAIL, NOT TO RECLINE THE SEAT IN THE BACK POSITION, BUT TO DECLINE THE SEAT FORWARD WHILE A PERSON IS RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE WERE TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT WE SHOULD NEVER LET A CHILD OR SMALL PERSON RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO GO OFF WHILE DRIVING. THEY HAVE NEVER TAKEN THE VEHICLE APART TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY IS. THEY ONLY SHUT THE WARNING LIGHT OFF. PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOW REFUSED TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY ON THE AIRBAGS IN THIS VEHICLE. THEY BLAMED A PANEL AT THE NH DEPARTMENT OF SAFETY FOR BREAKING THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY CAUSED THE LIGHT TO APPEAR AGAIN AFTER THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE. THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY DISENGAGED THE WARNING LIGHT, SO THE PANEL DID NOT FIND A DEFECT' SUBSEQUENTLY, THEY FOUND FOR TOYOTA. THE LIGHT REAPPEARED MINUTES AFTER THE CAR WAS RESTARTED AFTER THEIR DRIVE IN IT. WE REQUESTED THAT THEY WOULD HEAR THE CASE, THE PANEL AT THE ARBITRATION DEPT AT THE NH DEPARTMENT OF SAFETY REFUSED.

I WAS PRACTICALLY STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP AND I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I REMEMBER THAT A POLICEMAN TOLD ME TO PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL SLIDING. I KNOW I TRIED TO STOP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP.
