Tl* the contact owns a 2006 toyota camry. The contact was driving 35 MPH when he crashed into the side of another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy.

I was pulling slowly into a parking space in front of an office building. When I gently applied the brake, the car suddenly zoomed forward and struck the front of the building, shattering a large glass window and its frame and area around it. This stopped the car. I put it into reverse and backed into the parking space. The air bag did not inflate. Fortunately, the occupant of that office had just left. Otherwise she would have been hit by flying glass. I had never before had trouble of this kind with this toyota. The damage was repaired, but I sold the car to the auto body shop.
My 22 year old son was driving our 2006 toyota camry was involved in a broadside collision with another vehicle at a signalized intersection. Our camry suffered severe front end damage and the adjuster for our insurance company deemed the car as a total loss. Our 2006 toyota camry was equipped with front and side airbag but neither of them were deployed in the crash. Our son escaped with minor injuries but it could have been disastrous and our son could have been seriously injured in the accident.
My toyota camry 2006, purchased on 3/29/06 was involved in two major accidents and it was totalled after the second major accident which occoured on 3/30/07. On the first major accident, my wife who was driving the vehicle, tried to stop the vehicle at the signal, instead it raced forward on its own and hit another vehicle. On the second major incident, after stopping the car and allowing another car to pass on the same road in the opposite direction, she made a left turn and the car accelerated uncontrollably and hit a big tree standing at an elevated part of the road. By looking at the scene anybody can come to the conclusion that some kind of malfunctioning of the acceleration mechanism has happened. In both of these major accidents, none of the air-bags deployed. The same car had another similar incident but no property was damaged and therefore, that incident was not reported to police but a co-worker drove the vehicle out of the retaining pond. In this incident, my wife after parking the car, tried to pull it a little further and then the car jumped across the concrete bump and fell into the retaining pond. Luckly there was no water.
The airbag light keep coming on when I either go through a car wash or if some taps my front-end while parking. Dealer refuses to verify if they have had any similar complaints.
After starting the car the drivers airbag light stays on. When the car is started again the light may not be on. This went on for 3 days. The toyota dealership hooked up the car to read any codes that were there. After 3 days at the dealership the field rep states that a new seat and floor wiring has to be purchased. There is a short in the floor wiring. Total will cost $3450. The drivers seat has to be replaced along with the wiring. If not replaced the airbag will not go off.
Srs (supplemental restraint system) indicator warning light came on & stays on. Brought the vehicle in to my local toyota dealer who notified me that they "found open circuit in seat squibb not serviceable part" $3154.28 to replace the seat. The passenger side airbags will not deploy in an accident.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 toyota camry. While driving 35 MPH a vehicle in front of her proceeded through a stop sign causing the driver to crash and rear end another vehicle. Upon impact the driver side air bag did not deploy causing the driver to sustain injuries to her chest, left leg and broken fingers on her left hand. The contact did not notice any failures with the air bag system prior to the failure. A police report was filed. The vehicle was inspected by an insurance adjuster who was unable to determine why the air bags did not deploy and confirmed that the vehicle was destroyed. The contact is in the process of notifying the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 52,000.
When I tried to lower the power window on the passenger side of my 2006 toyota camry the window system made a loud popping noise but it would not lower. It seems like the window fell off its track and is now inoperable. Toyota corp. Said they would not make the repair under the warranty which just ran out two weeks ago. I believe this creates a safety issue which should be investigated. In 2008 toyota recalled the 2006 toyota corollas for a similar problem but did not include the camry model. I would like to request an investigation of this problem.

2006 camry....while inching my car forward in my driveway to position the car to back it up, I was applying the brake and moving at a speed of no more than 2-3 MPH. The car started to accelerate which kept increasing. I was taken by surprise, didn't know what was happening. I looked down at the accelerator to make sure it wasn't me. My foot was on the brake. Before I knew it, I hit head on the very large tree at the end of my driveway. I was approximately 4 ft from the tree when the engine started revving. I had my seat belt on, which saved me from smacking my face on the steering wheel. My head jerked forward and I had a tremendous headache afterwards with pain in my neck. The air bag did not deploy. I put the car in park and my husband reached in the window and turned the engine off. When I started it up again, there was no problem and I carefully moved it away from the tree. The force with which I hit the tree pushed in my front end and also did some damage under the hood since the power steering fluid was leaking. I am currently waiting for the insurance adjustor to check this out. He did say that if he doesn't experience the same problem, he doesn't know what can be done by toyota. Needless to say, I am anxious for the results and will not feel safe driving my car.

Front-end of my 2002 camry was destroyed in a front-end collision. Both airbags failed to deploy.
The airbags on my toyota-camry- le 2006 did not deploy during an accident. I have photos of the vehicle from the incident site if required. My wife was injured. I believe if the air bag would have deployed, the injury may have been prevented.
Consumer would like information regarding 2006 toyota camry passenger seat airbag system. *kb the consumer stated when his wife sits in the passenger seat, most of the time the light indicates the passenger air bag is off. If she raises her feet off the floor when the vehicle is started, about 3/4 of the time the passenger air bag light will be on. The consumer stated it is his belief that the passenger air bag should be on without taking special measures.
