2006 Toyota Camry Solara airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
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!
Airbags did not deploy. Car hit a light pole at 45 miles per hour.
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.
