2003 Toyota Corolla Airbags Problems

Your airbags deployed unexpectedly while driving at 25 mph, with a burning smell and popping sounds preceding the deployment. Both driver and passenger airbags went off, and your son's seatbelt tightened and became difficult to unbuckle. A second airbag deployed on the passenger side after the driver exited the vehicle. The repair will likely involve a full airbag system diagnostic and replacement of the deployed airbag modules, along with investigation into why they activated without a collision.

Your airbags suddenly deployed while you were driving normally, without any impact or crash. Both the passenger and driver airbags opened, which damaged your passenger window and windshield, and now your car won't start. The fix will likely require a complete airbag system inspection and replacement, as well as diagnosis of why the system deployed without a collision.

Your 2003 Toyota Corolla's airbags failed to deploy during two separate crashes—once when hit on the driver's side at 60 MPH, and again when hit on the passenger side at 40-50 MPH. Despite multiple recall repairs completed by dealers, the airbags still did not work in either collision, resulting in injuries to both you and your son. The vehicle was totaled after the second crash.

Your 2003 Toyota Corolla Matrix is subject to an airbag recall (Campaign 15V285000), and you were told not to drive it until the dealer retrieves it for repair. However, the dealer has been slow to pick up your vehicle, and Toyota hasn't completed the recall repair within what you consider a reasonable timeframe. Your airbags haven't actually failed, but this is a parts availability or distribution issue.

Your airbag warning light turned on even after you had the airbag recall service completed at a Toyota dealership. The dealership wanted to charge you for repairs, but the necessary parts weren't available to fix the issue. You may need to contact Toyota directly about the recall or wait for parts to become available.

You brought your car to a Toyota dealership for a scheduled airbag recall service and an oil change. The dealership completed the oil change but refused to perform the airbag recall work, claiming items on the passenger floor made the vehicle unsafe to work on—even though you offered to remove them immediately. The dealership still charged you for the oil change and refused to compensate you for the wasted appointment time.

You received a recall notice for your 2003 Toyota Corolla's airbags (Takata recall campaign 19V741000), but the replacement parts needed to complete the repair weren't available. When you contacted a dealer, they confirmed the parts hadn't been released yet. You believe the manufacturer has taken too long to make these parts available for the recall repair. The manufacturer is aware of your concern.

You received a recall notice from Toyota about your airbags (Recall ID NHAT-FZJ) and contacted them to schedule the repair. However, Toyota told you they can't proceed with the airbag recall because your vehicle has another separate recall that needs to be addressed first. The dealer may need to complete the other recall before they can service your airbags.

Your 2003 Toyota Corolla was part of a Takata airbag recall (Campaign 19V741000). Even though your dealer completed the recall repair, the manufacturer's system still shows the recall as open for your vehicle's VIN number, and you keep receiving recall notices about the same repair. There are no warning lights or airbag problems currently, but there's a disconnect in how the parts distribution records were updated. The fix will likely involve the dealer or manufacturer updating their records to confirm the recall was completed.

TRAVELING ON US HWY 70 AT 35 MPH. ACCIDENTLY HIT THE REAR END OF ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING STRAIGHT AHEAD OF ME AND SUDDENLY STOPPED. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE TURNED OFF WITH NO PASSENGER ON BOARD.

"TAKATA RECALL" MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER DSB NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 15VO43 RECALL STATUS RECALL INCOMPLETE SUMMARY THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) IN THESE VEHICLES COULD HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH INTEGRATED CIRCUITS THAT ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO INTERNAL SHORT CIRCUITING WHEN EXPOSED TO CERTAIN ELECTRICAL NOISE FROM VARIOUS VEHICAL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

HAD 2 AIRBAG RECALLS COMPLETED AT DEALERSHIP-AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD WAS STILL ON WHEN JOBS WERE COMPLETED--I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $105 TO 'DIAGNOSE' THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS NOT SAFE....I SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR SYSTEM THAT IS FAULTY

I TOOK MY CAR FOR A AIRBAG RECALL. MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON PRIOR TO RECALL. I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF THIS FIXED, BECAUSE LIGHT IS STILL ON. FROM WHAT I HEARD MY AIRBAG WON'T EVEN WORK WITH THE LIGHT BEING ON . CALL SOMEONE ON TOYOTA AND THE SAID IT WOULD AN EXTRA CHARGE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. SHOULDN'T THE PROBLEM HAVE BEEN FIX WHEN I TOOK IT FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE HAD MY AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED, SO THAT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT INFLATE UNEXPECTEDLY. BUT MY MAIN CONCERN NOW IS WITH THE AIRBAG. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT RIDES IN THE FRONT WITH ME. NOBODY IS TAKING CARE OF THE AIRBAG ITSELF. THERE ARE METAL FRAGMENTS IN THOSE AIRBAGS, AND IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT THOSE FRAGMENTS WILL COME SHOOTING OUT OF THOSE BAGS WHICH WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND POSSIBLY DEATH. IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS. WHAT IS TOYOTA GOING TO DO ABOUT THE AIRBAGS.

GOT INTO WHAT COULD'VE BEEN A MINOR ACCIDENT, BUT THE CAR WAS TOTALED, HOWEVER, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT EVEN DEPLOY. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, THE SEATBELT WOULD LOCK AT RANDOM TIMES, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS MAKING A U-TURN ON A STATE ROAD. ONCE HIT, THE ENTIRE TIRE WENT UNDER THE CAR AND THE ENTIRE FRONT CAME OFF, WHICH WAS WHY I WAS SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF.

UPON GETTING THE ECU RECALL TAKEN CARE OF FOR MY VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY AIR BAG INDICATOR DASH LIGHT WAS LIT BECAUSE OF ERROR CODE B1181 WHICH, I WAS TOLD BY THE TOYOTA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, IS CAUSED BY A WORN SPIRAL CABLE. HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE MY AIR BAGS TO NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. EARLIER THAT DAY, I HAD THE SPIRAL CABLE RECALL REMEDIED ON MY 2008 TOYOTA YARIS. THIS IS INCONSISTENT AND DANGEROUS TO FIX A PROBLEM IN ONE VEHICLE AND NOT IN ANOTHER. I'M ASKING THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE RECALL BE EXTENDED TO ALL APPLICABLE VEHICLES.

LAST MAY 5 MELODY TOYOTA SAN BRUNO TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO DO A RECALL ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR. AND IT WAS FINE FOR 3 MONTHS. THEN ON AUG. 9 WHEN I WAS TAKING MY COUSIN TO THE AIRPORT (SFO) THE SRS WARNING LIGHT JUST CAME ON ALL THE WAY STRAIGHT HOME. AND I DROVE BACK TO MELODY TOYOTA LAST TUESDAY SINCE THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN'T ATTEND TO ME LAST MONDAY BECAUSE TECHNICIAN SHORTAGE. AFTER THEY MADE THE DIAGNOSIS ON MY CAR THEY SAID THERE'S A SHORT CIRCUIT ON MY AIRBAG SPIRAL CABLE CLOCK SPRING W/C IS LOCATED INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL. THEY SAID IF THIS SPIRAL CABLE IS DEFECTIVE ALL THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR IS DISABLED AND WILL NOT DEPLOY IF I HIT ANOTHER CAR OR A TREE W/C IS REALLY LIFE THREATENING. MY QUESTION IS WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY $550.00 TO GET THAT SPIRAL CABLE REPLACED. AND ON THE OTHER HAND MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM NOT UNTIL WHEN THEY REPLACE THAT FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR LAST MAY 5. THEY EVEN ASK ME IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT RECENTLY. I THINK THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT SINCE THEY'VE BEEN DOING ALL THE SERVICES ON MY CAR FOR 6 YEARS. OR IS THERE ANY RECALL ON THIS SPIRAL CABLE? I HOPE YOU GIVE ME AN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION. ALSO PLEASE THIS COMPLAINT WILL BE ANONYMOUS FOR NOW. THANK YOU *TR

THERE IS NO INCIDENT, JUST A CONSUMER COMPLAINT. I HAVE TWO OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. 15V043 DATED 1/27/15 AND 15V285 DATED 6/10/14. NEITHER OF THESE RECALLS HAS A REMEDY YET AND THAT IS VERY DISTURBING. ESPECIALLY THE ONE A YEAR OLD. WE CAN'T PARK THE CAR, NEED IT FOR TRANSPORTATION SO WE DRIVE IT IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION. WHAT IF WE DESIRE TO SELL THE CAR? TWO OUTSTANDING RECALLS CERTAINLY AFFECT THE PRICE. IT IS MY OPINION THAT TOYOTA HAS DROPPED THE BALL IN GETTING A REMEDY FOR THESE RECALLS. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NHTSA TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE AND HAVE A REMEDY IN A TIMELY FASHION. THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY COMPLAINT AND PLEASE FORWARD IT TO THOSE WHO CAN GET SOMETHING DONE WITH THE RECALLS AND TOYOTA. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH AND A CAR WAS CUTTING INTO MY LANE AND I SWERVED AND BLEW MY HORN AND THEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, STAYED ON AND IS STILL ON. WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID THE "TECHNICIAN FOUND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE B1181 OPEN CIRCUIT IN DRIVER'S SIDE SQUIB AND RECOMMEND REPLACING THE SPIRAL CABLE" (A PART ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIRBAGS) AND AS LONG AS THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON, I HAD NO AIRBAG PROTECTION. THE ESTIMATE TO FIX IS VERY EXPENSIVE.

AFTER 6 SECOND CHECK PERIOD, AIRBAG WARNIG LIGHT STAYED ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATING AS DESIGNED

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DASH AND I WAS TOLD THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAD TO PAY $1196.69 BECAUSE IT WAS NOT UNDER A RECALL EVEN THOUGH I HAD 3 OTHER RECALLS WHICH INCLUDED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR, AIR BAG WIRE HARNESS AND THE CENTER AIR BAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY. SO WITH ALL THE SAFETY RECALLS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SYSTEM, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE DRIVER AIR BAG IS NOT COVERED ON ANY SAFETY RECALL? I REALLY THINK THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL SINCE I WAS TOLD BY THE REP AT THE TOYOTA DEALER THE AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK WHEN THIS AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON.

ROUGHLY TWO YEARS AGO, JANUARY 2013 ACCORDING TO THE LETTER, I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON MY CAR. THE LETTER STATES THAT THE RECALL IS STILL IN INTERIM STATUS, SO THERE IS NOTHING I AM ABLE TO DO AS OF YET.

THERE HAS YET TO BE A CHANGE IN THE STATUS OF EITHER SAFETY RECALL. I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY PATIENT IN WAITING FOR SOLUTIONS TO THE POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTIONS IN MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER THIS PROBLEM STILL HAD YET TO BE REMEDIED.

NEXT LETTER REC'D 03/28/15 INFORMED OF UPCOMING RESOLUTION. 5/04/15 TOOK VEHICLE TO BEDFORD TOYOTA, BEDFORD, OH; ONLY TO BE TOLD 'PART NOT AVAILABLE'. I AM 88 YRS OLD. I MANAGED TO SURVIVE WWII, WORKING FOR THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, I EVEN RECOVERED FROM A MAJOR STROKE. WHY AM I BEING PLACED IN A POSITION OF ANXIETY, FEAR AND STRESS? THE DEFECT IS DESCRIBED AS A MATTER OF 'DETERIORATION' OF MATERIAL OVER TIME. THAT MEANS BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER ARE AT RISK. I DUTIFULLY DEMAND MY PASSENGER(S) USUALLY A FAMILY MEMBER USE THE REAR SEAT BUT THAT PROVIDES NO ASSURANCE TO THE DRIVER. BUYING A NEW VEHICLE ISN'T AN ANSWER SINCE TAKATA SUPPLIES THEM AS WELL. LIFE MAY NOT BE FAIR BUT TAKATA NOR TOYOTA HAVE ANY RIGHT TO JEOPARDIZE MY LIFE. I NEED SOMEONE TO TAKE SOME POSITIVE ACTION TO RESOLVE MY PROBLEM. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU ASAP.

THIS CAR IS NOW 12 YEARS OLD WITH TWO ACTIVE RECALLS INVOLVING SRS AND AIRBAG SYSTEM. TOYOTA KEEPS MODIFYING RECALL IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SCHEME TO RESET THEIR "REASONABLE" TIME CLOCK.

WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY 2003 TOYOTA MATRIX DEPLOYED STRIKING ME IN THE HEAD/CHEST AREA. STUNNED AND DISORIENTED, I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL A GOOD SAMARITAN HELPED ME OUT OF THE CAR. SHE WAS TELLING ME TO EXIT THE CAR, HOWEVER, MY SEATBELT HAD RETRACTED AND LOCKED WITH SUCH TENSION, THAT I WAS BARELY ABLE TO REACH ACROSS AND PRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON. AFTER THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED AS WELL, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS ONE OR TWO SUBSEQUENT EXPLOSIONS - I AM UNSURE WHAT THOSE NOISES WERE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. A POLICE OFFICER WAS NEARBY AND HEARD THE EXPLOSION AND CAME OVER TO CHECK ON THE SITUATION. HE TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF, BUT THE HORN WAS STUCK AND CONTINUED TO HONK - HE THEN DECIDED TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON, WHICH STOPPED THE HONKING OF THE HORN. THE CAR WAS STILL ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND AN OFFICER DROVE THE CAR ACROSS THE STREET TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP.

TOYOTA AIRBAGS WERE IDENTIFIED AS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN BAGS DEPLOY THEY COULD RELEASE METAL SHRAPNEL. THE PROBLEM IDENTIFIED IN 2014 AND TOYOTA CANNOT GET PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY RECOMMEND NO ONE TRAVEL IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE CAR UNTIL THE FIX CAN BE MADE. NOT USING THE FRONT SEAT ( 25% OF THE CAPACITY OF THE VEHICLE ) FOR OVER A YEAR ( AND NO KNOWN DATE FOR A FIX SO THIS COULD GO FOR SEVERAL YEARS ) IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I ALSO SUGGESTED THE DISCONNECT THE AIRBAG SO I COULD USE THE SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT DO. ( MARK MOTORS, STEVENS POINT, WI ). THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE AS I MAY AS WELL PARK THE CAR IF 25% OF SEATING CAPACITY CANNOT BE USED DUE TO TOYOTA'S NEGLIGENCE.

TOYOTA'S REPAIR ESTIMATE OF 6 -12 MONTHS FOR A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE IS UNREASONABLE GIVEN TOYOTA'S WARNING AGAINST HAVING A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER UNTIL A FIX IS MADE. TOYOTA HAS OFFERED NO SOLUTION OR COMPROMISE AND CONTINUES TO ADVISE AGAINST HAVING A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. FURTHER, THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT CONSIDERED THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER IN THE RECALL IS UNCONSCIONABLE. IN JAN 2015, I RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA A D3F-1 RECALL NOTICE REGARDING FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE WHICH WARNED AGAINST OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. ON 02 FEB 2015 SANSONE TOYOTA ADVISED THAT PARTS WERE DUE IN THREE WEEKS. ON 06 MAR 2015 SANSONE ADVISED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WOULD ARRIVE BUT IN THE INTERIM IT WAS SAFE TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. ON 19 MAR 2015 SANSONE SCHEDULED MY CAR FOR AN AIRBAG INSPECTION ON 23 MARCH BUT FAILED TO PERFORM SAME. INSTEAD, SANSONE AGAIN ADVISED IT WAS SAFE TO HAVE A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER - PROVIDED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WENT OFF AFTER STARTING THE CAR. NOT SATISFIED, ON 24 MAR 2015 I CALLED TOYOTA HQ. "[XXX]" ADVISED THAT PARTS WOULD NOT BE IN BEFORE MID-2015 AND REGARDLESS OF WHAT SANSONE SAID TOYOTA DOES NOT RECOMMEND HAVING A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER UNTIL THE FIX IS MADE. I APPEALED AND [XXX] REFERRED ME TO "[XXX]." I ADVISED [XXX] THAT I WAS AFRAID TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM. [XXX] REFERRED ME TO "TIFFANY BISHOP" WHO TOLD ME NOT TO HAVE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED AND CONFIRMED MID-2015 AS THE EARLIEST DATE OF PART AVAILABILITY. SHE ALSO ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO FURTHER AVENUE OF APPEAL - SHE WAS THE END OF THE LINE. THAT IS UNSATISFACTORY. TOYOTA'S LACK OF RESPONSE TO THIS SITUATION IS INADEQUATE, UNREASONABLE, AND UNREALISTIC. I WANT MY CAR FIXED NOW SO I CAN TRANSPORT FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS. *TR

I CAN NOT GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM TOYOTA, BOTH MY LOCAL DEALER AND THE CORPORATE OFFICE REGARDING A PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL (FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE). IT'S BEEN ALMOST A FULL YEAR, AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN THIS REPAIR WILL BE DONE. THE LAST LETTER I RECEIVED (FEB. 3, 2015) FROM TOYOTA, SAID THEY ARE WORKING ON STATES WITH HIGH HUMIDITY FIRST. THEIR SOLUTION, IS NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, AND RENT A VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION. I LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS, AND IT GETS PRETTY HUMID DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. I THINK TOYOTA THINKS THE LONGER THEY WAIT THE FEWER RECALLS THEY WILL HAVE TO PERFORM AS THE VEHICLES ARE GETTING OLDER AND OLDER. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. DESPITE SEVERAL NOTICES AND A FEDERAL REMINDER TO HAVE THIS FIXED AS A CUSTOMER, TOYOTA AS A COMPANY HAS NO REMEDY AS OF YET. ALL PAPERWORK STATES "ANY AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER CAN INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE...PLEASE CONTACT ANY AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE REMEDY PERFORMED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE." AFTER MAKING THIS APPOINTMENT AND LEAVING MY CAR OVERNIGHT, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. AFTER CALLING TOYOTA, THEY SAID THAT AT THIS TIME THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO NOT ALLOW A PASSENGER TO RIDE IN YOUR CAR. THIS DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF A CAR. IF YOU HAVE NOTATED AN ISSUE AND WANT TO ALERT THE PUBLIC AND HAVE US ALL TAKE TIME OFF TO HAVE THE ISSUES FIXED, THEN WHY WASN'T THERE A "FIX" IN PLACE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY CAN REPLACE THE ENTIRE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY ARE NOT WANTING TO TAKE ON THAT COST, WHICH PUTS ME AND MY FAMILY/FRIENDS IN DANGER. THIS IS ULTIMATELY FRUSTRATING, INCONVENIENT, AND DANGEROUS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY LIBELOUS SITUATION. *TR

ON THE DAY OF SEPTEMBER 04/2014 I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2003 TO GO WORK AND AFTER FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING CAR WAS START SHAKING TOO MUCH AND STOPPED AT MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN BUT IT WAS GOOD WITH NO PROBLEM BUT I FOUND AT THE DASH BOARD LIGHT WAS SHOWING AIR BAGS LIGHT. ON SEPTEMBER 12/2014 I WENT TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO INSPECT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY FOUND AIR BAGS SPIRAL CABLE IS DAMAGE , THEY ALSO NOTIFY ME FAULTY FUEL SYSTEM. IT IS VERY MUCH COST EFFECTIVE FOR ME TO REPAIR. *TR

THIS IS ABOUT THE CURRENT URGENT AIRBAG RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY MY LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE AIRBAGS BECAUSE TOYOTA HAS NOT AUTHORIZED A FIX. ACCORDING TO THE NEWS, OPTIONS INCLUDE DISABLING THE AIRBAG OR REPLACING IT. WE LIVE IN A HUMID CLIMATE ( COLUMBIA , SC). OUR SON IS ABOUT TO START DRIVING IN DECEMBER. MOST LIKELY, SOME OF HIS DRIVING WILL HAPPEN IN THIS VEHICLE. SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT IS NOT AN OPTION. SHAME ON TOYOTA!! PLEASE HELP THE CONCERNED CONSUMER, NOW. *TR

ON OCTOBER 22, 2014, I CONTACTED 2-OF-THE-3 TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS IN NORTHERN NEVADA (I.E., RENO TOYOTA AND CARSON CITY TOYOTA). I CONTACTED THESE DEALERSHIPS REGARDING THE AIR BAGS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING SEVERAL DEATHS AND NUMEROUS INJURIES, AS REPORTED ON 10/20/2014--10/23/2014 BY THE 3 NATIONAL NEWS CHANNELS IN RENO, NEVADA (I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT THE TYPICAL SAFETY ISSUE ENVISIONED ON THIS WEBSITE, BUT THIS REPRESENTS A SEVERE AND LOOMING SAFETY ISSUE AS IT PERTAINS TO MY WIFE AND I). WHEN I CONTACTED THESE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS, THEY DID NOT SEEM TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIR BAG ISSUES FOR MY 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA, CE SEDAN. THEY SAID THAT THE "EARLIEST DATE THAT TOYOTA COULD COMPILE A LIST OF VEHICLES THAT WOULD, OR COULD, BE RECALLED WAS AROUND DECEMBER 15, 2014." FURTHER, THE DEALERSHIPS STATED THAT "THEY COULD NOT HELP ME UNTIL THIS LIST HAD BEEN COMPILED." AS I STATED PREVIOUSLY, THE DEALERSHIPS DID NOT SEEM TOO CONCERNED ABOUT MY AIRBAG ISSUES. THEY SAID TO "CHECK BACK AT AROUND THAT TIME (I.E., 12/15/2014). I ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD A RECOMMENDATION UNTIL THAT TIME, AND THEY SAID "NO!!!" I FOUND THESE ANSWERS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE, AND I TOLD THEM SO; HOWEVER, THAT WAS ALL THAT THEY COULD TELL ME!!. I THOUGHT IT PRUDENT TO CONTACT THE NHTSA WEBSITE ASAP TO LET YOU KNOW HOW CONCERNED THE TOYOTA DEALERS ARE AS IT PERTAINS TO THESE SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

OUR TOYOTA COROLLA HAS 2 SAFETY RECALLS FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. ONE RECALL HAS BEEN DONE, BUT THE OTHER ONE WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE PARTS. AFTER ONE RECALL WAS DONE THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON SHOWING A CODE B1811 FOR SPIRAL CABLE. I WAS TOLD THAT PART IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT MEANS THE DRIVER AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SPIRAL CABLE WITH OTHER COROLLA'S BUT NOT FOR 2003. OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEMS SO CAN NHTSA PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THIS VEHICLE IS MY 17 YEAR OLDS CAR AND I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HIS SAFETY. THANK YOU *TR

ON AUGUST 18, 2014 MY WIFE AND SON WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN CHARLOTTE NC. SHE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. NEITHER HER DRIVER NOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. AS A RESULT HER HEAD STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHE SUFFERED A FRACTURED STERNUM, WHICH I ASSUME WAS CAUSED BY THE SEAT BELT. MY SON SUFFERED NO INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT. I KNOW THAT SOME CRASHES DO NOT CAUSE AN AIRBAG TO DEPLOY BUT THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE CASE IN THIS ACCIDENT. THANKFULLY THE SEAT BELT DID ITS JOB. *TR

TOYOTA IS NOT ACTING TIMELY TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH AIR BAG INFLATOR MODULE. IT INDICATES NOW THAT IT MAY BE 18 MONTHS OR LONGER FROM FIRST NOTIFICATION, WHICH WAS APRIL 2013 WHERE VEHICLES WERE TO BE INSPECTED AND FIXED IF EQUIPPED WITH AFFECTED MODULE. TAKATA GAVE WRONG SERIAL NUMBERS ON THE FAULTY MODULE SO VEHICLES FIXED AND/OR NOT FIXED OR INSPECTED NEED TO BE RECALLED AS OF JUNE 11, 2014. I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE MINE FIXED AUGUST 2014, HOWEVER TOYOTA SERVICE STILL DIDN'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. MY DAUGHTER TOOK CAR TO COLLEGE BUT NO SERVICE DEALER WAS AVAILABLE THERE. I JUST LEARNED OF THIS 2ND RECALL WHEN MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP CANCELLED THE APPOINTMENT I HAD FOR TODAY (6/20/14) TO HAVE THE FIRST RECALL FIXED. I AM TOLD THAT THEY NEED TO REDESIGN THE PART AND WILL BE REPLACING IT IN ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED, INCLUDING THOSE WHO RECEIVED A REPLACEMENT PART UNDER FIRST RECALL. NO REDESIGN HAS BEEN DONE, NOR TO THEY KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE DONE, LIKELY MORE MONTHS! IN INTERIM I HAVE A TICKING TIME BOMB BEING DRIVEN BE A TEEN DRIVER MORE PRONE TO ACCIDENTS. I DO NOT WANT AN SAFETY DEVICE IN CAR TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY! TOYOTA HAS HAD 15 MONTHS TO FIX THIS. IT NOW HALTS THE REPAIR OF AFFECTED VEHICLES INDEFINITELY WITHOUT ANY SOLUTION OR REMEDY?! YET ARE WILLING TO FIX VEHICLE WHERE A AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON? HOW? I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA CORPORATE I COULD RECEIVE A LOANER VEHICLE IN THE INTERIM OF THIS REMEDY AND TO CONTACT MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. I DID. THEY REFUSE TO COMPLY WITH THIS REQUEST SINCE NO LIGHT IS ON MY DASHBOARD. YOUR REPORTS DO NOT INDICATE THAT A LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD (10537899, 10568848, 10585224) OCCURRED PRIOR TO INCIDENT. I LIVE IN A HUMID CLIMATE SEVERAL MONTHS OF THE YEAR ANOTHER CONCERN FOR OWNERS. TOYOTA CONTINUES TO ASK ABOUT MILES ON VEHICLE, IS THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE OLDER MODELS AND THEY SECRETLY WANT THEM TO DIE FIRST!!! *TR

ACCIDENT INVOLVING THIS CAR REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A RECALL IN EARLY 2013 INVOLVING AIRBAGS DEPLOYING DUE TO FAULTY ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. WE COMPLIED WITH THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE AND HAD THE CAR REPAIRED BY TOYOTA IN 3/2013. *TR

THE RED LIGHT FOR AIR BAGS HAS GONE OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW. IN THE PAST IT WOULD ONLY DO THIS FOR BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME. NOW IT HAS GONE ON AND STAYED ON. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO DEALER AND CALLED TOYOTA CUST SVC. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST. NEVER HAD ACCIDENT THAT CAUSED AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. THINK TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS. THEY HAVE NOT OFFERED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. DEALER TELLS ME THIS LIGHT BEING ON MEANS THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE THEIR FAULT? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25-30 MPH WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE INTERIOR CABIN IMMEDIATELY FILLED WITH SMOKE AND CHEMICALS THAT WERE BEING RELEASED FROM THE AIR BAG, OBSTRUCTING THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

IN NOVEMBER, 2013 THE OURISMAN CHANTILLY TOYOTA DEALER SERVICED MY CAR FOR 2 AIR BAG RELATED RECALLS. IN DECEMBER 2013 MY CAR SKID ON ICE AND HIT THE JERSEY BARRIER HEAD ON WITH A SIGNIFICANT FRONT IMPACT. THE FRONT BUMPER WAS ALL DAMAGED BUT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALER "OURISMAN TOYOTA" IN CHANTILLY, VA WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2003. THE MANAGER RESPONDED THAT THE RECALL WORK WAS DONE PROPERLY AND THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE ACCIDENT AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT TOYOTA FOR ANY CONCERNS. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY TOOK THE ISSUE VERY LIGHTLY AND SUGGESTED THAT THEIR AIRBAGS ARE ALL TESTED AND IF THERE WAS NO AIRBAG LIGHT ON PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT THEN THE AIRBAG WAS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. I INSISTED THAT SOMETHING MUST HAVE BEEN WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS AND ARGUED THAT IF THEY ARE ALL SO PERFECT THEN WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY RECALLS. FINALLY HE ASKED ME TO SEND THE PHOTOS TO DETERMINE IF THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I SENT THE ACCIDENT PHOTOS IN FEBRUARY 2014 AND HAVE SENT A REMINDER ON MARCH 2014 BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED BACK. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT TOYOTA IS IGNORING THIS ISSUE. SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN BY ME AND MY FAMILY PARTICULARLY ME DAUGHTER, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF WE WERE AT DANGER DUE TO FAULTY AIRBAGS OR NOT. IF I AM GOING TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE THEN I SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW THE PROS AND CONS OF THE MAKES AND MODELS. MOST OF ALL I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I WOULD REQUEST YOU TO KINDLY FOLLOW UP ON THIS ISSUE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND. THANKS *TR

RIGHT AFTER THE CAR WAS HIT,THE PASSENGER AIRBAG EXPLODED,BREAKING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND HITTING THE DRIVER IN THE HEAD CAUSING A CUT OF 7 STITCHES ,AND CATCHING ON FIRE. AIRBAG NEVER INFLATED. *TR

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOLLOWUP NOTIFICATION IN EARLY JANUARY 2014 REGARDING THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE ISSUE. I NEVER RECEIVED THE FIRST NOTICE FOR THIS RECALL. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE WESTCHESTER, NY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY CAR EVALUATED AND DROPPED IT OFF ON JANUARY 14TH. I GOT A CALL THE NEXT DAY SAYING THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE A PART REPLACED AND THAT I WOULD BE GIVEN A RENTAL FREE OF CHARGE (BESIDES THE $100 DEPOSIT) HOWEVER, I DECLINED THE RENTAL. SEVERAL DAYS WENT BY WITHOUT A WORD FROM THE DEALERSHIP SO I CALLED TO FOLLOWUP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET SHIPPED OUT AND THEY WOULD CALL BACK WITH ANY UPDATES. I ASKED IF I COULD HAVE MY CAR BACK UNTIL THE PART CAME IN BUT THEY INFORMED ME THAT SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I CANNOT HAVE MY CAR BACK. THE RENTAL WAS OFFERED TO ME AGAIN. A WEEK LATER I GOT ANOTHER CALL TELLING ME AGAIN THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET SHIPPED. IT IS NOW MARCH 9...IT HAS NEARLY BEEN TWO MONTHS SINCE I DROPPED MY CAR OFF. I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY SAID THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THE DO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS PART WILL BE SHIPPED OR WHEN MY CAR WILL BE FIXED...I UNDERSTAND THEY ARE OFFERING ME A RENTAL, HOWEVER, I AM PAYING TO HAVE MY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD AND I DO NOT WANT THE ADDED PRESSURE WORRYING ABOUT HAVING A RENTAL IN MY POSSESSION. IF THIS RECALL HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SO LONG THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRODUCED IN ENOUGH QUANTITIES TO FILL THE ORDERS PROPERLY. *TR

I MET WITH AN ACCIDENT IN JANUARY 2013. IT WAS REALLY BAD ACCIDENT AND MY CAR GOT TOTALED. MY AIR BAG DIDN'T OPEN UP. NOW I AM RECEIVING THIS LETTER FROM TOYOTA THAT THERE IS SOME DEFECT IN AIRBAGS OF 2003-2004 MODEL. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WHEN I ALREADY MET WITH THIS HORRIBLE ACCIDENT? WILL APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE. THANK YOU *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND RECALL NOTICE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED CONCERNING THE AIR BAG RECALL. I IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED BACK IN THE SPRING 2013 (APPRX.) WHEN YOU SENT THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE.

I LEFT MY VEHICLE EARLY ONE MORNING AND IT STAYED OVERNIGHT AND LATE INTO THE EVENING THIS NEXT AFTERNOON. BASICALLY 2 DAYS. I CALLED TO CHECK TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE WAS READY. THEY HAD NOT EVEN TOUCHED MY CAR. TWO DAYS WITHOUT ONES VEHICLE FOR IT TO NOT EVEN BE LOOKED AT. REALLY? THE ONLY TIME IT WAS MOVED I BELIEVE IN THOSE 2 WORKING DAYS WAS WHEN THEY PULLED IT OUT OF THE BAY IN ORDER TO MOVE IN NEWER VEHICLES AHEAD OF MINE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PICKED UP MY VEHICLE. THEN, ON TOP OF THAT, THEY SEEMED TO CARE LESS THAT I WAS NOT GETTING MY VEHICLE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. THEY SAID THEY HAD ORDERED IT AND THAT IT WAS ON BACK ORDER. WITHOUT A PHONE CALL TO SAY AS MUCH. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME TO LET ME KNOW WHEN IT CAME IN. TODAY IS OCTOBER 26, 2013. ITS BEEN APPROXIMATELY 5 MONTHS AND NOT A WORD. I GO TO MY MAILBOX THIS MORNING AND THERE IS MY SECOND RECALL NOTICE FOR MY AIRBAG. WHAT IS A PERSON TO DO WHEN THEY TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING AS FAR AS TAKING THEIR VEHICLES IN TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE AND THE DEALERSHIP DROPS THE BALL? I WANT THIS TO SERVE AS AN OFFICIAL NOTICE OF COMPLAINT. I TRUST THAT YOU WILL, AFTER RECEIVING THIS COMPLAINT, CONTACT THEM AND ASK THEM WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I RECEIVED A RECALL ON MY AIRBAGS A FEW MONTHS BACK. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE TWO PARTS RECALLED. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THOSE BUT THEN TOLD ME THAT MY AIRBAG LIGHT WILL STAY ON BECAUSE I ALSO NEED A NEW SPIRAL CORD WHICH IS NOT RECALLED. THEY WANTED $500.00 BUCKS! AFTER READING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING, I AM OUTRAGED THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HURT OVER THIS ISSUE. THE AIRBAG EITHER WON'T GO OFF WHEN NEEDED, OR IT CAN DEPLOY AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR KNOWING THAT IT COULD GO OFF AT ANY MOMENT. I FEEL LIKE ITS A TICKING TIME BOMB. I HAVE ALWAYS RAVED ABOUT TOYOTA AND WHAT GREAT CARS THEY HAVE AND THAT I WOULD NEVER DRIVE ANYTHING ELSE. AFTER CALLING THE CUSTOMER CARE LINE, I SOON REALIZED THAT THEY DON'T CARE AT ALL. THE REP WAS RUDE, AND BASICALLY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN HURT PEOPLE! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN..AND I HAVE INFORMED MY FAMILY THAT IF I DIE IN AN ACCIDENT FROM THIS ISSUE, THAT THEY GO FULL FORCE AFTER TOYOTA. THEY DON'T CARE FOR THE OWNERS WELL BEING. I AM NOT THE FIRST TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS AND WON'T BE THE LAST. LETS PRAY NOTHING HAPPENS TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE. *TR

I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE PART TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THE PART CAME IN.

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE IF I HAVE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE CAR NOT BEING DRIVEN FOR OVER 11 WEEKS ARE APPARENT WHEN AND IF I EVER RECEIVE MY CAR BACK.

THE FOLLOWING WEEK I CALLED INQUIRING ABOUT THE PART, AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD CALL BACK. AS OF TODAY, I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM REGARDING ANYTHING RELATED TO THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE. THE DEALERSHIP'S ONLY ATTEMPT TO CONTACT ME WAS FOR A CUSTOMER SURVEY, AND THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. ALL MY INQUIRIES TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY ISSUE HAVE BEEN MET WITH INDIFFERENCE BY THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

TOYOTA RECALLED THE VEHICLE TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE HARNESS ON AIR BAG SYSTEM. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS WORK DONE.

WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY APPROXIMATELY $550 TO REPLACE THE SPIRAL CABLE. PRIOR TO HAVING THE RECALL WORK DONE, THERE WAS NEVER ANY PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG OR THE AIRBAG LIGHTS.

I HAVE TALKED TO TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVES HERE IN PUERTO RICO AND THEY ADVISED ME THEY HAD NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INCIDENT AND IF I WANTED TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY I WOULD HAVE TO DO IT ON MY OWN. I WAS LEFT WITH THE FEELING THAT WARE AND TARE, MILEAGE AND CAR AGE ARE THE FACTORS CAUSING THE FAILURE. IF THIS IS SO TOYOTA SHOULD ALERT THEIR CLIENTS TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AFTER A CERTAIN MILEAGE AND /OR CAR AGE.
