Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Nothing happened yet, since I cannot know for sure if these are bad air bags since car was in accident and repaired with replacement air bags in past, so no way to find out unless toyota pays to check them first and maybe replaced. Worried that replacement air bag are defective or dangerous no one is addressing this issue why??? My replacements need to be checked by serial number???

Tl* the contact owns a 1999 toyota camry solara. While driving approximately 35 MPH, another vehicle crashed into the rear of the contact's vehicle at a high rate of speed.

Every time that the passenger seat is moved forward to allow passengers in or out the air bag light in the vehicle starts blinking. The light will blink for around 15 days before it shuts off if the passenger seat is not moved forward for passengers during that time. The next time the passenger seat is moved forward for passengers, the cycle starts over again.
I was at a standstill and rearended by another driver going approximately 50 MPH and he did not brake. The seat belt did not engage nor did the airbags. Both cars totaled. Trunk hood popped, also rear panels bent. I sustained a head injury either on windshield or steering wheel . My firm belief is the seatbelt should have engaged and avoided the head injury.
My daughter was driving into starved rock national park in illinois around 4 p.m. On august 20th, 2014. She driving on the entrance drive at the speed of 10 MPH. The car suddenly started ramping up in speed causing the my daughter to start braking. The car continued gaining speed and the brakes were unable to stop the vehicle. As the car was going faster, my daughter entered the parks visitor center parking lot. While still trying to stop the vehicle, my daughter hit a parked car to the right, just clipping it causing damage to the hit car's taillight. Her car hit a car to the left then hit a parked tahoe which stopped my daughters car after being pushed 4 parking spaces. We complained to toyota corp. They inspected the car and said it was mechanically sound. They admitted after further discussion the accelerator cable was frozen. They said this happened from an impact behind the battery, problem is that there was no impact that could have caused this until the impact of hitting the tahoe. My daughter was fighting to stop from the entrance drive. The toyota rep. Also stated that their inspection team released the cable and said it worked fine. The rep. Could not answer my question regarding the timing of the cable being frozen. They are accusing my daughter of accelerating the vehicle due to fact that it is a mechanical accelerator, it was the only way this could have happened. Another issue is that the airbags did not deploy. Toyota claims due to the fact that the impact was slightly off center of the front that they did not deploy. Looking at the damage including the radiator being pushed into the engine, the airbags should have deployed. Toyota feels that our car is fine and there were no issues with the manufacturing or the design. Please help.
My daughter was driving 1999 toyota camry solara. When crossing highway at intersection, the car hesitated on acceleration and she was struck on the passenger side rear. She states she had plenty of time to cross but "the car just wouldn't go". Also, despite impacts from several angles, no airbags deployed.
Airbag warning light flashes for passager side airbags. If you jiggle wiring under seat often the next time you start car light will be off.
