Air bag light is on and will not go off. Please include a fix for the 2005 camry airbag before they hurt adults and kids. The air bag light stays on. All toyota airbags should be quickly checked and fixed.....picking years is avoiding doing the right thing and being cheap with a dangerous safety issue. I showed the leesburg, virginia toyota on 6/29 at 1030am and they said it would be $44.00 to get it checked! Why making money on toyota issue. Should be courtesy check and fixed immediately since millions of airbags are being recalled! Please call or e-mail for clear help today! We are lifetime toyota family and very sadden by no care....very dangerous issue with very slack response.
Passenger front airbag looks like it is ready to open up & deploy-started out on a smaller portion, but gets worse by the day. Possibly due to the heat here in fl state?? I have owned toyota camry's since the 1990's; lived in ny state and fl state, & never had an issue with the airbags. This is quite disturbing & scary-should I call the local toyota dealer & set up an appointment? I do not feel that is in my 'fault', & therefore, should not have to pay for this repair-please advise, thank you.
This vehicle is not on the recall list however, the airbag is clearly starting to protrude on the dash. Worried it might deploy if I have a passenger in the car with me.
The airbag light keeps coming on and I have taken it to several places and nobody can tell mewhat's wrong

Approx 1 year after purchasing the car, the passenger side airbag light came on showing the air bag was not working. I took the car to the toyota dealer and was told they would have to recalibrate it, and I was charged approximately $90.00 for the work.. It worked for approximately 2 weeks, at which time the light came on again showing the air bag was not working. I do not know if the airbag is defective or not, but I cannot afford to pay $90.00 every two weeks to have an airbag re-calibrated. I have had no accidents with the car and the driver's side airbag is okay. What should I do.
I noticed sometime back that the passenger side air bag cover is coming undone.
One early evening a deer jumped out in front of me and I hit the deer head on about 35 - 40 MPH. It stopped my car the impact was so big. The weirdest things happened to the vehicle though. My bumper is messed up dent in the hood but instead of my airbags deploying the sensor broke off and started dangling behind my bumper under the hood. I got bad whiplash and back pain from my head hitting the wheel, why didn't my seat belt lock or airbag go off? I just don't get it. Can you help please?

Westbound on I-285, middle lane, a car stopped totally in front of us, at dusk. We had 5-6 vehicle lengths between us ,but momentarily did not realize the car in front was not moving, as she did not even put on her brake lights. We braked, hitting her in the rear bumper. We were nearly hit by a tractor trailer behind us, but mercifully, he was able to move the front of his rig to the right lane beside us. We realized almost immediately that our airbags did not deploy, either side. The seat belts really held us. We contacted toyota requesting they pay for the diagnostic test to see if the airbags are functional. We sent a certified letter per their instructions 4/16/14. Their stated response time is two weeks, by letter. We still have not heard from them. While the car has had some small fender benders on its rear, it has never been in an accident of this magnitude. We own 2 toyota camry xles and are concerned our airbags. ...updated 07/15/14
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota camry. The contact stated that while traveling 55 MPH, the contact crashed into a deer. Upon impact, the air bags failed to deploy. The contact also stated that the seat belt failed to properly restrain her during the crash. The contact sustained a broken back. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the vehicle was functioning properly and the air bag should not have deployed because it was not near the sensor. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000.
Seatbelt light came on indicating that the seat belts and airbags will not work if there is a crash. There has been no crash or incident up to this point. Is there a recall for this type of emergency?
The passenger airbag stays off for a smaller adult in the passenger seat. (~95lbs). According to the service department at the toyota dealership, this is normal, and that the adult may need to put on weight. I do not believe that the passenger airbag indicator should turn on and off intermittently, or stay off with an adult seated in the passenger seat. The passenger is seated correctly. Problem continues to persist for adults under 95lbs. The incident was reported to the dealership as well as toyota. Apparently, toyota now has a tsb out - tsb el005-05 to correct this safety issue. However, since the vehicle is out of warranty and there has been no recall, the issue has not been addressed in the vehicle.

My 2005 toyota camry le was traveling at roughly 35 MPH when it crashed into the rear end of a jeep cherokee. The accident was a head on collision, which totaled the camry. The airbags for the camry did not deploy. The entire front end of the camry, including the bumper was destroyed. Damages extended to the frame and all front end parts. I have pictures of the damage if needed. I spoke with toyota and filed a complaint, but their response was less than satisfactory. They stated that there was not enough damage to the bumper to cause the airbag to deploy, and told me that there are only specific situations in which the airbags deploy. My position is that this was a direct head on collision that destroyed my 2005 camry; their was front end frame damage, and every front end part from head light to head light was destroyed in the accident. My daughter was hurt in the accident, and this would not have happened if the air bag had deployed as advertised by toyota.
