This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Takata recall: I did not receive a recall notice about my airbags and I'm trying to find out if my car was ever recalled for defective airbags. Toyota will only tell me if the car is under a recall presently. If it ever was, the notice might have been sent to the previous owner that I bought the car from in 2001. If there ever was a recall on the airbags, doesn't Toyota still need to replace them??
