AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
Recall 23TB15 was issued on Dec. 20, 2023. The remedy was supposed to be out by the 3Q24. I just called dealer service, and there is still not a remedy out. I am driving a car without knowing if the front passenger seat airbag would deploy in an accident. This is unacceptable to go this long with no corrective action plan yet issued. Can you take any action to get the manufacturer to correct this defect?

AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
At the begining of 2024, I received a recall letter from Toyota regarding the airbag malfunction. I was told to wait for a remedy by Q3 of 2024. I patiently waited and was very anxious driving my vehicle. I recently did talk to my local dealer during my maintenance and they stated that they do not have any information regarding that and that I should call Toyota. I tried calling Toyota and was instructed to wait as they still have not got a remedy and that if I was getting in any accidents Toyota will be fully responsible. I bought the car to drive for my safety an this is the level of safety that I am getting. Thus I am here looking for help on how I can get this matter resolved as driving knowing that airbag has failed on the passenger side is very unsafe.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
When applying the brakes, at lower speeds around 20 MPH my Sienna lunges forward for a few seconds, increasing speeds. This is happening frequently in school zones due to the slow speeds. Dealer told me it was out of warranty (36k or 3 yrs) and i had to pay $250 for diagnostic plus $300 for a TSB solfware reset because the Fed didn't receive enough complaints from users to make Toyota do a recall on this Safety issue. This is a major safety issue myself and many other Sienna owners are dealing with.

Potential Consequences:
-Multiple instances recently of feeling like the car was accelerating or lurching forward lightly while I was braking - thought I was going crazy. Today however, the car very clearly lurched forward while I was braking coming into an intersection with my kids in the car. Checked my foot on the pedal, mats, etc. Will be taken to dealer on earliest appointment they have in 7 days. -If there was a car coming through that intersection, my family and I could have been T-boned due to the unexpected acceleration. -There are no warning lamps or messages active in the vehicle. -Symptoms likely started a few months ago, but the most severe instance was today, 9/16/2024. I finished driving my kids to soccer and while there I googled this and called my dealer. Apparently this is a known issue? -How can Toyota not notify owners of this serious issue? There needs to be a recall immediately. This is my family vehicle that we bought new just a few years ago, this is dangerous and absolutely unacceptable.
