2006 Toyota Camry Airbags Problems

Your car was involved in a serious rollover accident where it flipped three times, but none of the airbags deployed. The driver was injured in the crash, and the vehicle sustained severe damage. This failure to deploy airbags during a major collision is a critical safety concern that requires immediate investigation.

Your airbag deployed suddenly while you were starting your parked car, causing injuries to your arms that required medical attention. This happened at around 69,000 miles, and you've had difficulty finding a dealer willing to repair the airbag system. Fixing this will require a dealer to diagnose why the airbag deployed unexpectedly and replace the affected airbag module and potentially the airbag control system.

You were involved in a rear-end collision at 45 mph, and your airbag failed to deploy on impact—it only inflated after your head hit the steering wheel. You sustained head injuries and soreness in your arm and back that required medical treatment. The airbag system may have a delayed deployment sensor or electrical issue that prevented it from protecting you as designed.

Your Corolla is subject to a Takata airbag safety recall, but the dealer received defective replacement parts. The parts were sent back, and you haven't received new parts to complete the repair. The dealership will need to obtain the correct replacement airbag components from Toyota to fix this safety issue.

Your passenger airbag warning light stays on constantly, regardless of whether someone is sitting in that seat or not. This light indicates there's a problem with the airbag system that needs attention. Additionally, you're experiencing peeling paint across the vehicle and peeling leather on both front and back seats. A mechanic will need to diagnose the airbag sensor or electrical issue to determine what's causing the warning light.

MY DASH IS CRACKING AND FALLING APART. WHAT KIND OF ENGINEERING IS THIS THAT THE DASH FALLS APART IN SUCH A SHORT TIME IN A CAR THAT IS SUPPOSED TO OUT LAST ITS COMPETITORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE INTERSECTED THE CONTACT'S LANE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE RIB CAGE AND STERNUM, AND WAS TRANSPORTED VIA AMBULANCE TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED LEWIS TOYOTA OF TOPEKA (LOCATED AT 2951 SW FAIRLAWN RD, TOPEKA, KS 66614, (785) 273-2220) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

SRS WARING LIGHT ON. TAKATA RECALL

YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREETS WITH MY WIFE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT THE PASSENGER "AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE CAR HAS 78,131 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE TOYOTA OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT THE "AIR BAG OFF" INDICATOR MEANS THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT I DID NOT SEE THAT TOYOTA HAS TAKEN ANY ACTION. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GET INJURED OR KILLED. IF THERE IS A RECALL NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR' AIRBAG LIGHT IS O N .

THERE WAS NO INCIDENT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND IS REMAINS ON. IS THERE A RECALL ON THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT ?

MY 2006 SOLARA CONVERTIBLE HAS DEEP CRACKS ALL ALONG THE DASH END TO END WHICH MAY AFFECT THE OPERABILITY OF THE AIRBAG. IT'S SHINY, GOOFY, STICKY WHICH DEFINITELY AFFECTS VISIBILITY. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ELSE IT AFFECTS. I THOUGHT IT WAS CAUSED BY HEAT UNTIL I READ THE SOME 75 EXACTLY IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL THE DASH RATHER THAN ASK WE CONSUMERS TO PAY $2,400 TO FIX IT. THIS WAS A $32,000 VEHICLE. BAD ENOUGH THAT THE ADHESIVE AROUND THE BACK WINDOW DISSOLVED, NOW THIS. IT'S UNDRIVABLE, UNSALEABLE AND I ONLY HAVE 27000 MILES ON IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST AND HEAD INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE REAR PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR HEAD INJURIES THAT ALSO REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE IF A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE CRASH SCENE, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS; HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WERE UNKNOWN.

MY AIRBAGS LIGHT IS ON AND MY AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS. I BROUGHT MY INTO THE DEALER AND HE SAID THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING MY AIRBAG SYSTEM TO BE INOPERABLE. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I ONLY HAVE 49,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I AM IN A ACCIDENT MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT PROTECT ME.

ON APRIL 21, 2015 I HAD MY CAR IN THE DEALER FOR A OIL CHANGE ETC. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER I NOTICED THAT MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON LOCATED ON THE DASH AND ALSO THE AIR BAG LIGHT STATED THAT IT WAS OFF. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND SHOWED HIM WHAT HAPPENED AND HE STATED THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $700.00 TO REPAIR THE COMPUTER. I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT ON WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND NOW IT IS ON. I ONLY HAVE APPROX., 48,000 ON THIS CAR AND I PURCHASED IT NEW IN NOV. 2005. HE DID NOT FIX IT AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I GET INTO A ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK. I DO NOT HAVE THE $700.00 TO GET IT FIXED. I DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT HE TOLD ME, IT MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. AS LONG AS THE AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON IT WILL NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. I NEED IT FIXED. THANK YOU.

MY DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND IS CRACKED FROM DRIVER TO PASSENGER SIDES.ALSO IS CRACKED WHERE AIRBAGS ARE. DASHBOARD IS ALSO SHINEY AND SUNS REFLECTIONS MAKES IT DANGEROUS DRIVING. I AM AFRAID AIRBAGS WILL INFLATE.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMINTENTLY.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IS STILL ON.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR WEEKS BEFORE COMING ON IN FEBRUARY 2015. THINKING IT WAS NOT URGENT, I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY RAN THE CODE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE AIR BAG COMPUTER SENSOR HAD FAILED WHICH WAS LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, TOTALLY $3300 FOR PARTS. AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY OR DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY UNTIL FIXED. EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR CAR NEARING END OF ITS LIFE.

TRAFFIC LIGHT WAS GREEN, I ENTERED INTERSECTION AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICAL BROADSIDE. MY CAR RECEIVED DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER, THE LEFT FRONT FENDER, AND THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

IN AUGUST 2014, I NOTICED A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FROM THE BEGINNING EDGE OF THE DASH UP AN AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL. A MONTH LATER, AN ADDITIONAL CRACK APPEARED ON MIDDLE CONSOLE ENDING AT THE STEREO COMPONENT. CRACKS ARE INCREASING IN NUMBER AND LENGTH OVER TIME. CAR HAS HAD A SINGLE OWNER, GARAGED, WITH METICULOUS CARE. I'M CONCERNED THAT CRACK(S) COULD EVENTUALLY POSE A PROJECTILE PROBLEM IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND THE DASH COMES APART IN PIECES DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. ADDITIONALLY, VERY DISAPPOINTED TO KNOW THIS WILL AFFECT RESALE VALUE, SOMETHING THAT MAKES OWNING A TOYOTA A REASON TO BUY IT INITIALLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,505. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

VEHICLE REFERENCED LEFT TARGET, STOUGHTON,MA, PARKING LOT AT 12:10PM-11-11-14 (WITH 7YR OLD GRANDSON CAR SEATED BEHIND DRIVER & DRIVER WAS IN SEATBELT). WHEN EXISTING LOT, ANOTHER CAR BACKED OUT OF PARKING SPACE AND HIT RT, BACK END OF REF CAR. DRIVER OF REF VEHICLE LOOKED BEHIND AT VEHICLE THAT STRUCK HER AND, AS SHE TURNED FORWARD & BARELY STEPPED ON GAS TO MOVE AWAY FROM VEHICLE THAT HIT HER, THERE WAS A LOUD CLICKING NOISE, TIRES STARTED SPINNING AND CAR TOOK OFF ACCELERATING W/O CONTROL OF BRAKES, SHIFT OR STEERING. REF VEHICLE HIT CURB, ACCELERATED UP HILL FROM PARKING LOT AND WENT AIRBORNE, CRASHED DOWN INTO GUARDRAIL AT APPROX 45-50MPH AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DRIVER IS SURE REF VEHICLE WOULD HAVE CONTINUED TRAVELING FORWARD IF NOT FOR GUARDRAIL! DRIVER OF VEHICLE (AND GRANDSON) WERE TAKEN IN AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL AND IN TRIAGE ALL DAY. DRIVER SUFFERED HEAD AND EYE INJURIES AND HEMATOMAS FROM NECK DOWN. GRANDSON REPORTED SLIGHT BACK PAIN AND WAS RELEASED. THANKFULLY, NEITHER OF REF VEHICLE'S OCCUPANTS WERE MAIMED OR DIED. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, FOUND THERE ARE 2006 TOYOTA CAMRYS WITH ETC ISSUES. AGAIN, NO CONTROL OF ANY ASPECT OF CAR - COULD NOT PUT IN NEUTRAL, GEAR SHIFT JUST "FLOATED" OVER ALL GEARS WHEN TRYING TO USE! WOULD LIKE FOR NHTSA TO INSPECT GAS PEDAL FOR "WHISKERS" OR OTHER PROBLEMS THAT LED TO THIS. AS DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE, I CAN HONESTLY STATE THAT I HAVE A GREAT DRIVING RECORD AND I AM NOT PRONE TO "DRIVER ERROR" PUTTING FOOT ON GAS PEDAL INSTEAD OF BRAKE (AND ACCELERATING TO THAT DISTANCE) AND THERE WAS NO CARPET FOR PEDAL TO STICK UNDER. CHECKED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE MY MOM PURCHASED THIS CAR (SHE PASSED PRIOR TO THIS).THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS VIN#. MAKES ME WONDER ABOUT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AS WELL. NONE OF THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED! ANY FEEDBACK FROM YOU WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V168000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE BEEN THE ONE AND ONLY OWNER OF A 2006 TOYOTA SOLARA CONVERTIBLE SLE THAT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT MOST OF ITS LIFE. DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE "MELTING" - HAS NUMEROUS CRACKS AND IS VERY STICKY. THE GLARE OF THE SHINY STICKY DASHBOARD IS DISTRACTING AND A VISUAL HAZARD. HAVE TRIED SEVERAL PRODUCTS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN/UNSTICKY THE DASHBOARD. DEALERSHIPS HAVE STATED THAT THIS IS A RESULT OF INTENSE DAYTIME HEAT, AND NOT A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. SEVERAL OTHER CAMRY OWNERS HAVE STATED THE SAME COMPLAINT. *TR

STRUCK FROM REAR BY ANOTHER DRIVER AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED; WAS THROWN FORWARD INTO DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL AND DRIVER'S HEAD STRUCK THE CONVERTIBLE TOP METAL TOP-FOLDING STRUCTURE. BELIEVE THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER DEVICE FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AND THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY, AS WELL. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP FOR THIS MODEL WAS IN THE UP POSITION AT IMPACT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT CAUSED BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER TO LURCH FORWARD, CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY DAMAGE TO BOTH PARTIES. DRIVER SUSTAINED BRAIN INJURY AND SPINAL INJURY AND IS STILL RECEIVING TREATMENT AND SURGERY FOR HIS INJURIES. PASSENGER IS ALSO RECEIVING ON-GOING TREATMENT FOR SPINAL AND KNEE INJURY SUSTAINED AS THE RESULT OF THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER AND AIR BAG FAILURE, AS WELL. *TR

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA SOLARA CONVERTIBLE. THIS CAR IS GARAGED EXCEPT WHEN DRIVEN. EARLIER THIS YEAR I NOTICED SMALL CRACKS DEVELOPING AROUND THE EDGES OF THE DASHBOARD. HOWEVER, NOW THE CRACKS HAVE GROWN AND THERE ARE SOME VERY LARGE CRACKS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LARGE CRACKS DEVELOPING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. CAN THESE CRACKS AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE DASHBOARD AIR BAGS?? *TR

2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, HE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE FIRST TIME THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED, HE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED, WENT OVER A CURB AND IMPACTED THE SIDE OF A BUILDING. HE IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, USING THE KEY. THE AIR BAD DID NOT DEPLOY. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED ON JUNE 30, 2014. HE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL, IT WENT OVER A CURB AND INTO A FENCE. HE IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE AIR BAD DID NOT DEPLOY IN THE SECOND ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER SOLD THE VEHICLE ON AUGUST 27, 2014. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR INDICATED "AIR BAG OFF" INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO ADJUSTED THE WIRES UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE SENSOR DID NOT ILLUMINATE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ONE MONTH LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THE TOYOTA WHICH NOW HAS 46,000 MILES, AND ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED. THE PROBLEM IS THE DASHBOARD WHICH HAS MANY CRACKS IN IT AND THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND STICKY. THIS STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND IS CONTINUING TO GET WORSE WITH MORE DETERIORATION. THE SAFETY ISSUE PROBLEM IS THE DASHBOARD IS VERY SHINY AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY. THE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD ARE ALSO A CONCERN SINCE THEY MAY INTERFERE WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE DASHBOARD AIR BAGS IN AN ACCIDENT. FIVE YEARS AGO TOYOTA REPLACED ALL THE DEFECTIVE VINYL WINDOW MOLDINGS ON THE CAR WITHOUT MY REQUEST. THIS SHOW THEY MAY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR VINYL SUPPLIER. A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, EARL STEWART TOYOTA, NORTH PALM BEACH, FL HAS REQUESTED TOYOTA MAKE A NO CHARGE RECALL. THIS ALSO IS A PROBLEM WITH LEXUS AND NISSAN VEHICLES. IN THE PAST FEW YEARS TOYOTA HAS BEEN ABLE TO CONCEAL OR BEEN VERY SLOW TO ADDRESS KNOWN DEFECTS. I TRUST YOUR AGENCY CAN MAKE TOYOTA COMPLY WITH A SPEEDY RECALL WITH NO CHARGE TO THE OWNERS. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, HE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUFFERED BRUISED LUNGS AND CRACKED RIBS. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000. UPDATED 07/08/14 MA

IN 2008 MY 2006 CAMRY HAD THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE SEAT BELT COME ON. WELLESLEY TOYOTA CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN 2009 TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED IN 2010 AND I HAD IT REPAIRED AT ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER. SINCE THEN IT COMES ON AND OTHER TIMES GOES OUT. NOW IT IS PERMANENTLY ON. *JS

AT 27 MONTHS INTO THE CARS STANDARD WARRANTY (LESS THAN 5000 MILES) THE DASH PAD ACROSS THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR BEGAN TO SHOW SIGNS OF CRACKS IN RANDOM AREAS, OF VARYING LENGTHS INCLUDING AREAS WHERE THE AIRBAGS ARE STORED. MY CLOSEST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (SOUTH DADE TOYOTA) IN HOMESTEAD , FL. INSPECTED THE DAMAGED AREAS, COMPLETED NO PAPER WORK AND STATED "THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR SOME TOYOTA AND LEXUS MODELS AND THERE IS NOTHINGS THAT CAN BE DONE SHORT OF THE CUSTOMER PAYING FOR A NEW DASH PAD ASSEMBLY AND IT'S INSTALLATION". MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE HER CAR, AND WE ARE AFRAID TO SELL THE CAR FOR FEAR OF LIABILITY THAT THE AIR BAGS MIGHT NOT DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED OR DEPLOY IN AN UNINTENDED MANNER. TOYOTA CONTINUES TO AVOID THE ISSUE DESPITE THE FACT THERE ARE 100'S OF AFFECTED OWNERS USING THESES DAMAGED VEHICLES. *TR

WIFE WAS DRIVING AND NOTED THAT THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAD GONE ON. WE STOPPED. I MOVED THE SEAT AND BEGAN DRIVING. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS OFF. THE LIGHT REMAINED OFF UNTIL EARLY 2014, WHEN IT BEGAN ALTERNATING PERIODS OF ON AND OFF. ON MARCH 27, 2014, WE TOOK OUR CAMRY TO OUR TOYOTA DEALER. THE DEALER WROTE (REPORT IS IN THE COMPUTER HOLDINGS OF TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A.): "FOUND THE SEAT TRACK FLOOR COVERING HAS COME LOOSE WHICH ONCE THE SEAT HAS MOVED IT CAUSED THE COVER TO [BE] PUSHED AGAINST THE AIRBAG CONNECTOR UNDERNEATH THE SEAT. THIS CAUSES THE LIGHT TO COME ON DUE TO NO COMMUNICATION AT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG SQUIB CONNECTOR. (CODE B1821)" THE DEALER REPAIRED THE WIRING. IT IS EVIDENT NOW THAT EACH TIME MY WIFE OR I MOVED THE DRIVER'S SEAT THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF DISRUPTION OF THE AIRBAG ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT. THE SEAT IS DRIVEN BY AN ELECTRIC MOTOR, SO THERE WAS NO CHANCE WE DISRUPTED THE WIRING AS MIGHT HAPPEN WITH A MANUALLY READJUSTED SEAT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT CAUSED BY POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN AND NOT A "WEAR AND TEAR" ISSUE. THE AIRBAG ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DESIGNED SO AS TO HAVE BEEN SAFE FROM DISRUPTION BY MOVEMENT OF THE DRIVER'S-SIDE SEAT. ON APRIL 9, 2014, TOYOTA ANNOUNCED A RECALL FOR AN AIRBAG ELECTRICAL CONNECTION DESIGN DEFECT--IN THE STEERING COLUMN RATHER THAN UNDER THE SEAT--SIMILAR TO WHAT WE EXPERIENCED. BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE, THE RECALL DOES NOT GO AS FAR AS IT SHOULD HAVE. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME...ON DASH... AIR BAGS HAVE NOT GONE OFF YET. *TR

2006 SOLARA HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS IN THE VINYL COVERING OF THE DASH PAD....INCLUDING AREAS AROUND THE AIR BAGS MOUNTED IN THE DASH. CAR HAS 11,000 MILES, STORED INSIDE AND UNDER A CUSTOM COVER. IN ADDITION TO THE CRACKS, THE VINYL COVERING IS VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND EMITS A STRONG ODOR. TOYOTA DECLINED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS NOW WASHED THEIR HANDS OF THE ISSUE DUE TO A LAPSED WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM IS AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF OWNERS OF BOTH TOYOTA AND LEXUS MODELS YET TOYOTA ASSERTS THE PROBLEMS ARE COSMETIC. THE CAR IS SELDOM DRIVEN FOR FEAR THE AIR BAGS MIGHT DEPLOY AND UNCERTAIN OF THE HEALTH ISSUES RELATED TO THE VINYL ODORS THE CAR EMITS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SPUN UNCONTROLLABLY AND THEN ROLLED OVER. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR LACERATIONS AND BRUISING, AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT WAS RULED AS BEING DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,000. UPDATED 02/11/2014 *BF

THE 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION (WHICH IS A TOTAL LOST) DOES NOT HAS THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT THE MOMENT OF THE ACCIDENT AS DESIGNED. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON RTE. 209, PASSING THE GREEN LIGHT. WHEN A FORD FOCUS TRAVELING SOUTH ON RTE. 209 MADE A LEFT TURN, CAUSING A COLLISION WITH MY CAR. I IMPACTED HIS CAR IN REAR SECTION AROUND THE TIRE, BENDING HIS TIRE.THE AIR BAGS IN THE TOYOTA DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH I BELIEVE CAUSED MORE DAMAGE TO MY BACK.THE OTHER DRIVER WAS WRITTEN A CITATION (VR3322) IN THE PA VIOLATIONS SECTION. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE CAR TO OUR HOUSE 3-4 MILES AWAY.I WAS TRANSPORTED TO POCONO MEDICAL CENTER. THEIR EXAM WAS A JOKE. I AM GOING TO SEE AN ORTHOPEDIC DOCTOR ON 11/12/2013. THE PAIN HAS INCREASED A LOT SINCE ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE IF THE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED I MIGHT HAVE BEEN SPARED MORE PAIN. I AM INSISTING ON A CAT SCAN, MRI, & XRAYS ON MY BACK TO COMPARE TO PREVIOUS TESTS DONE IN 2009. I FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. IF THIS HAD BEEN A MAJOR CRASH I DO NOT THINK MY WIFE AND I WOULD BE DOING VERY WELL. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE FOR THE AIR BAGS TO FAIL. LIVES DEPEND ON THEM WORKING! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER PERFORMED TWO DIAGNOSTICS THAT LOCATED FAILURES AT THE AIR BAG PINFIT AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT. THE AIR BAG PINFIT AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,823 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

VEHICLE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR PASSENGER SIDE. DASH MESSAGE SAID AIRBAG OFF EVEN THOUGH PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHO SAID "THE COMPUTER GOT CONFUSED, PROBABLY BECAUSE WEIGHT EXCEEDING TRIGGER THRESHOLD WAS REMOVED FROM SEAT & REPLACED WHILE CAR WAS RUNNING". COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE "RE-CALIBRATED". I WAS CHARGED $95 LABOR TO RE-CALIBRATE. IN MY OPINION FOR THE COMPUTER TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG BECAUSE SOMETHING WAS MOVED IN OR OUT OF THE SEAT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. IF THERE IS PROPER WEIGHT, THE BAG SHOULD BE ON, OTHERWISE OFF, BUT NOT DISABLED REQUIRING A TRIP TO THE DEALER TO FIX AND AN EXORBITANT LABOR CHARGE TO FIX. *TR

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAR HIT A LIGHT POLE AT 45 MILES PER HOUR. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN THE CAR. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT THERE IS AN INTERNAL OPEN INSIDE CIRCUIT IN THE SIDE AIR BAG OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. BECAUSE THIS IS AN INTEGRAL PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT, IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. APPROXIMATE COST WITH TAX IS $3400.00. OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ARE ON THE INTERNET. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE WITH THE SEAT/AIR BAG SYSTEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE AND IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE AIR BAGS, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE THE PASSENGER'S SEAT AND REPLACE IT WITH A NEW AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, ALL AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO ALSO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THAT HE SHOULD CONTACT THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,417 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 234,000. UPDATED 012/14/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE LOCAL DEALER OFFERED $1,000 ASSISTANCE OF THE TOTAL COST ($3,300) AS A GOODWILL GESTURE. THE CONSUMER DECLINED. UPDATED 12/17/2012 *JS

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING SW AROUND 35MPH AND ENTERED AN INTERSECTION WITH THE GREEN LIGHT. ANOTHER (UNLICENSED) DRIVER ALSO TRAVELING AT THE SAME SPEED ENTERED THE INTERSECTION TRAVELING NE, HIS LIGHT WAS RED, BUT HE RAN IT. MY FRONT END IMPACTED HIS DRIVERS SIDE (NEAR THE FRONT TIRE) BOTH OF HIS AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, YET NEITHER OF MINE DID. MY FRONT END (FRAME) BENT LIKE A V-SHAPE, AND FLUID FROM THE RADIATOR DRAINED ONTO THE HOT ENGINE. I HAD TO BE EVACUATED FROM THE CAR BY THE LOCAL EMT AND WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO EMERGENCY. I HAVE PHOTOS THAT WOULD LOVE TO SHARE ESPECIALLY TOYOTA, SO THEY CAN EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE AIR BAGS FAILED, AND PUT ME INTO WHAT IS GOING TO BE MONTHS OF THERAPY. *TR

I BOUGHT A TOYOTA CAMRY 2006 FROM MAPLE HILL AUTO GROUP IN KALAMAZOO, MI IN MARCH OF 2011. THE CAR HAD 49,202 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. WHEN I TEST DROVE IT, I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. I EXPRESSED CONCERN TO THE SALESMAN WHO INDICATED "OH, THAT'S JUST A SENSOR ISSUE, THAT CAN BE FIXED QUICKLY." I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH SOME RESERVATION ABOUT THE LIGHT. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, THE LIGHT WAS OFF (THEY HAD TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO FIX). EVERYTHING WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS IN AUGUST WHEN THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. I RETURNED IT TO MAPLE HILL AUTO AND WAS TOLD BY THE SALESMAN THAT "THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOT PART OF POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT BE FIXED. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD "TWEAK"IT AGAIN BUT IN EVIDENTLY THE ENTIRE FRONT SEAT MAY HAVE TO BE REMOVED AT A COST OF ABOUT $3000, WHICH OF COURSE I DON'T HAVE. SO THEY "TWEAKED" IT AGAIN AND IT WAS OKAY FOR A WHILE. NOW, JULY 2012, IT HAS COME BACK ON AGAIN. ON MY SALES AGREEMENT WITH MAPLE HILL AUTO IT STATES "DEALER WILL REPAIR AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE." OBVIOUSLY, THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED. THE CAR ONLY HAD 49,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE LIGHT WAS ON ORIGINALLY. THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY FOR CAMRYS IS SUPPOSED TO BE 60,0000 MILES FOR THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED AND LIED TO BY THE DEALER WHO ONLY TOOK IT TO TOYOTA TO GET THE LIGHT TEMPORARILY OFF SO I WOULD BUY THE CAR. I BELIEVE THEY KNEW IT WAS A MORE SERIOUS ISSUE BECAUSE I BELIEVE TOYOTA TOLD THEM IT WOULD BE A RECURRING PROBLEM. NOW I FEEL STUCK AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE A SEAT AND I DON'T FEEL A 2006 CAMRY I PAID $12,350 FOR SHOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE. AREN'T THEY SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT SAFETY? NOW I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND IN AN UNSAFE CAR, INCLUDING WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN. I THINK MAPLE HILL AUTO SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM AT NO COST TO MYSELF. *TR

I AM THE MANAGER AT RENTY CAR RENTAL. WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MANY PROBLEMS WITH OUR TOYOTA'S CLOCK SPRING. THIS PART HAS BEEN GOING DEFECTIVE AND TURNING THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH 3 OF OUR TOYOTA'S. IT HAS BECOME QUITE AN ISSUE. THESE ARE EXPENSIVE PARTS TO REPLACE, AND WE MUST REPLACE THEM AS SOON AS WE FIND THE PROBLEM. WE ARE VERY SCARED THAT THIS ITEM MIGHT FAIL AND THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY. *JB

MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2006, PURCHASED ON 3/29/06 WAS INVOLVED IN TWO MAJOR ACCIDENTS AND IT WAS TOTALLED AFTER THE SECOND MAJOR ACCIDENT WHICH OCCOURED ON 3/30/07. ON THE FIRST MAJOR ACCIDENT, MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT THE SIGNAL, INSTEAD IT RACED FORWARD ON ITS OWN AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. ON THE SECOND MAJOR INCIDENT, AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND ALLOWING ANOTHER CAR TO PASS ON THE SAME ROAD IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, SHE MADE A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY AND HIT A BIG TREE STANDING AT AN ELEVATED PART OF THE ROAD. BY LOOKING AT THE SCENE ANYBODY CAN COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT SOME KIND OF MALFUNCTIONING OF THE ACCELERATION MECHANISM HAS HAPPENED. IN BOTH OF THESE MAJOR ACCIDENTS, NONE OF THE AIR-BAGS DEPLOYED. THE SAME CAR HAD ANOTHER SIMILAR INCIDENT BUT NO PROPERTY WAS DAMAGED AND THEREFORE, THAT INCIDENT WAS NOT REPORTED TO POLICE BUT A CO-WORKER DROVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE RETAINING POND. IN THIS INCIDENT, MY WIFE AFTER PARKING THE CAR, TRIED TO PULL IT A LITTLE FURTHER AND THEN THE CAR JUMPED ACROSS THE CONCRETE BUMP AND FELL INTO THE RETAINING POND. LUCKLY THERE WAS NO WATER. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEP COMING ON WHEN I EITHER GO THROUGH A CAR WASH OR IF SOME TAPS MY FRONT-END WHILE PARKING. DEALER REFUSES TO VERIFY IF THEY HAVE HAD ANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *TR

SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) INDICATOR WARNING LIGHT CAME ON & STAYS ON. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHO NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY "FOUND OPEN CIRCUIT IN SEAT SQUIBB NOT SERVICEABLE PART" $3154.28 TO REPLACE THE SEAT. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER PROCEEDED THROUGH A STOP SIGN CAUSING THE DRIVER TO CRASH AND REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO SUSTAIN INJURIES TO HER CHEST, LEFT LEG AND BROKEN FINGERS ON HER LEFT HAND. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY FAILURES WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

WHEN I TRIED TO LOWER THE POWER WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY THE WINDOW SYSTEM MADE A LOUD POPPING NOISE BUT IT WOULD NOT LOWER. IT SEEMS LIKE THE WINDOW FELL OFF ITS TRACK AND IS NOW INOPERABLE. TOYOTA CORP. SAID THEY WOULD NOT MAKE THE REPAIR UNDER THE WARRANTY WHICH JUST RAN OUT TWO WEEKS AGO. I BELIEVE THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. IN 2008 TOYOTA RECALLED THE 2006 TOYOTA COROLLAS FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THE CAMRY MODEL. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2006 CAMRY....WHILE INCHING MY CAR FORWARD IN MY DRIVEWAY TO POSITION THE CAR TO BACK IT UP, I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE AND MOVING AT A SPEED OF NO MORE THAN 2-3 MPH. THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE WHICH KEPT INCREASING. I WAS TAKEN BY SURPRISE, DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE ACCELERATOR TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T ME. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. BEFORE I KNEW IT, I HIT HEAD ON THE VERY LARGE TREE AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 4 FT FROM THE TREE WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING. I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON, WHICH SAVED ME FROM SMACKING MY FACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. MY HEAD JERKED FORWARD AND I HAD A TREMENDOUS HEADACHE AFTERWARDS WITH PAIN IN MY NECK. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND MY HUSBAND REACHED IN THE WINDOW AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN I STARTED IT UP AGAIN, THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AND I CAREFULLY MOVED IT AWAY FROM THE TREE. THE FORCE WITH WHICH I HIT THE TREE PUSHED IN MY FRONT END AND ALSO DID SOME DAMAGE UNDER THE HOOD SINCE THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE INSURANCE ADJUSTOR TO CHECK THIS OUT. HE DID SAY THAT IF HE DOESN'T EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE BY TOYOTA. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM ANXIOUS FOR THE RESULTS AND WILL NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR. *JB

FRONT-END OF MY 2002 CAMRY WAS DESTROYED IN A FRONT-END COLLISION. BOTH AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. *JB

THE AIRBAGS ON MY TOYOTA-CAMRY- LE 2006 DID NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE INCIDENT SITE IF REQUIRED. MY WIFE WAS INJURED. I BELIEVE IF THE AIR BAG WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, THE INJURY MAY HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. *JB

CONSUMER WOULD LIKE INFORMATION REGARDING 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SYSTEM. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HIS WIFE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, MOST OF THE TIME THE LIGHT INDICATES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF. IF SHE RAISES HER FEET OFF THE FLOOR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, ABOUT 3/4 OF THE TIME THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WILL BE ON. THE CONSUMER STATED IT IS HIS BELIEF THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SHOULD BE ON WITHOUT TAKING SPECIAL MEASURES. *JB
