What owners wrote
Tl* the contact called on behalf of her husband who owns a 2006 toyota matrix. The contact stated that while her husband driving at 5 MPH at a yield, another vehicle behind was driving approximately 40 MPH and rear ended the vehicle. As a result, the contact crashed into the other vehicle in front. No air bags deployed. The driver sustained injuries to both his legs but did not require medical attention.
Takata recall. My vehicle became part of the recall in mid-june 2015. It has now been five months and I am still unable to put a passenger in the front seat of my car. I went to toyota's website and my vehicle is not yet even on the schedule. Can I expect some compensation from toyota and/or takata for this continuing inconvenience? I had a similar issue with the driver side airbag on my 2001 honda accord, and it was resolved in less than a month.
