I've been into automobile accidents and the passenger airbag never deployed. Few years back I took my vehicle for the sticky dashboard recall, Toyota replaced it. Few years later the dashboard is sticky and shiny worst than the first time, I called Toyota to get it replaced free of charge and they told me that is not the responsibility and denied to fix the replaced sticky dashboard. I almost have gotten in accidents do to the shiny glare from the dashboard.

The car was inspected by the owner/manager of the auto body repair shop and it was his opinion that given the severity of the accident that the air bag should have deployed.

I had merged onto the highway, traveling at about 50 to 55 MPH on a very narrow construction road. I was sharing this narrow road with a semi at this point. As I tried to give a little room between the semi and my vehicle, I sudden hit the edge of the road where there were gravels and immediately my vehicle started spinning out of control and all over the highway, in and out of a ditch and finally hit a tree and then came to a stop. Luckily, I did not sustain any injury but I am now dealing with major pain in my neck and back that is getting worse everyday. My complaint is during this whole process the airbag did not deploy. I was hoping, this with much impact, the airbags should have deployed.

My 2009 camry dashboard is melting. The leather console between seats has cracked.the electrical system keeps shorting out. All cigarette lighters/charger locations have shorted out including the aux. A week after buying my car the safety feature to lock place mat in place broke. Nearly causing a car wreck as the place mat lodged in between the gas and brake. The radio, location where speedometer, clock, and service lights locations are fogged up and getting worse daily. When I took my car to the dealership about the dashboard I was told,"it was my fault. Probably caused by a cleaning product." which I knew was entirely not true. Cigarette lighter covers have dry rot and broken, plastic/leather has dry rot under all 4 windows leaving scratch looking marks, dry rot paint by stick shift is peeling. Headlights fog up easily with water in them. I was in a car wreck a couple of years ago.when I was going about 10 MPH and a vehicle ran the red light hitting the right side of vehicles front area. They were going at least 45 MPH. No airbag deployed. Underneath front of car is a plastic piece that keeps falling down. Some days I am unable to take car out of park unless I turn the wheel,"hard". I have never received anything via mail about any recalls on my vehicle. I still live at the same address! Took car to dealer again about front passenger window and driver side window not being able to roll down or up windows. I had to pay quite a bit of money to have fixed. Passenger window switch is broken and still is just like drivers side was. Was told" it was most likely because someone tried to break into my car." which I knew was not the case. I am very disgusted and considering filing a lawsuit against toyota. I bought a lemon car! I keep my oil changes up to date, fluids, filters, etc.I have never felt so disappointed in a vehicle purchase in my life. I'd like a full refund.
