1999 Toyota Camry: airbags did not deploy in a crash

Filed Sep 16, 2016 · Airbags · AZ

The air bag light on dash flashes. This has been going on for years. I have had it checked numerous times by an authorized toyota service dealer and they used to mess with some wires under the drivers seat until the light stopped flashing. That fix last for a few months and then the flashing light returns. This situation has never been resolved which leaves me to wonder if I have air bag protection or not. Luckily I have had no major accidents ,for I suspicion that if I did those air bags would not deploy. I need to resolve this safety issue !

I was traveling at a speed of 45 MPH, when another car ran a stop sign. I t-boned the other car and my air bag did not go off. My breast bone was broken due to my body's impact with the steering wheel. I am only reporting this incident now because of an article I read about air bags not deploying during accidents.

I reported this to complaints.com on 11/12/2005 but wanted to also submit it to you due to all of the news lately. In november 2005, my parents were driving their 1999 camry and pulling slowing into a parking spot. Just as they were about to complete parking and only going less than a mile per hour, their car accelerated very fast, left the curb and crashed into a building. We asked about if sudden acceleration could be investigated at this time but were told it couldn't. The car was totaled. My mom was injured (blunt force trauma to her chest) but recovered fairly soon after. She did go to the er. My dad, who was driving, was ok but following the accident was stressed due to worry about my mom's injury and having their car totaled since he was sure he hadn't done anything wrong.. The airbag did not deploy. My dad is sure he did not hit the gas by mistake and my mom agrees that he didn't hit the gas either.
