sounds like something could be wrong with the throttle position sensor. No idea how to check on that, I bet CTScott knows though.

Tomorrow at 430pm CST will be 8 years exactly since I drove away from the dealership in my new 2007 Yaris.

Today I finally got...not a priliminary notification or some such thing....but the ACUUAL RECALL LETTER for the driver and passenger seat tracks issue. Yay!

Good for you nook! I got that letter in August of this year lol.

I am still waiting for the actual remedy letter for the spiral cable recall/ airbag light. Light has been on since august and Toyota needs to hustle up because it's not safe to drive anymore.

I haven't gotten that letter either. However, an Assistant Service Manager at Fred Haas Toyota (one of my two local dealers) asked me (while I was checking on the status of both recalls) -- "is the light was on (the SRS light)?" I said yes. He said 'Toyota doesn't want you driving around with a system that won't activate, so make an appointment and we'll put in a different spiral cable that will reset the light (no charge). Then when the cable that Toyota has designated for the fix comes in, we'll put that one in (again no charge)'. I made an appointment for the next day,' they put the 'interim' cable in, and the system now works -- the light is off. You might ask your local dealer to do this. It may depend on the size of the dealership. Fred Haas is the #1 Tundra dealer in the world, and the #2 Toyota dealer overall in the U.S...they don't care about what to them is 'nickel and dime stuff'.

The service center told me they'd contact me when the cable came in. Never heard from them again. They told me it would take all day or at least half a day. With my job I really don't have time to put my car in the shop.

Still waiting on the letter for the spiral cable. Has anyone gotten hurt or god-forbid killed because of this? Do we we even need the letter from Toyota to go in and get this fixed because I've heard the dealership has it on their computer already so there is no need for the recall letter? Anyways Toyota needs to hurry up.

***Update just got my recall done for the spiral cable and now the airbag light is gone =). I'm considering getting an alignment done.

The letter says the cable is in the steering column assembly and will take approximately one hour to fix.

I got the letter!
And Toyota wanted me to pay for the diagnostic and spiral cable repair 2 months back, saying i would be refunded. But, I bet I would only get refunded for the spiral cable, not the diagnostic (which I had already done myself).

Gotta love the hand-me-down recall culture we have here in Canada.

I had mine done a couple weeks back. Went in for the seat rail and they fixed the clockspring. Finally got to drive my car without the airbag light on for the first time in over 5 years.

Anyone got a Toyota Economic Loss Settlement Administrator settlement? My first thought was it's a scam but after further review it doesn't look like it. Thanks.
