2012 Toyota Camry: airbag warning light

Filed Jul 13, 2024 · Airbags, Electrical · PA

"I was driving when the passenger airbag light came on and wouldn't turn off. At the same time, my steering wheel locked up, and my car started making a whining/humming sound. The lights began blinking on and off, and the battery light came on, even though the battery was brand new. Finally, my car completely shut off while I was driving in the middle of the street." A few years ago, I encountered a similar situation when a new computer component was installed, but they had trouble identifying the issues. It ended up costing me over a thousand dollars for problems they weren't certain about. Each time they added more parts, it turned out that it wasn't the solution. I'm hesitant to take it back to the dealership for fear of facing the same issues again. I plan to file a formal complaint and seek advice or assistance regarding this issue. Upon reviewing previous complaints, I noticed several similarities. I was never contacted by anyone regarding the recall on the airbag issues, and I would like this to be rectified immediately.

I hit a curb while I was turning and I my air bag light and seatbelt light turned on. My passenger air bag won’t turn back to on even when someone is sitting in and my seatbelt light won’t turn off. Nothing was deployed when I hit the curb just the lights turning on.

Drivers' side seat belt fails to retract completely unless "coaxed." this leads to it being inadvertently blocking the door from closing. This began at or about 45,000 miles. This is abnormal for a seatbelt, in my experience, and is a safety hazard. My 1991 gmc s-15 still has no problem retracting belts, with 243,000 miles on it. Given this condition, the SRS system of the seatbelt locking is questionable!!! Dealer service writer claimed repair/replacing defective retractor is at my expense.

When driving on a road and hitting a big pothole the SRS light in the dashboard might light up and stay on as well as the seat belt restraint light. The vehicle was brought once before to the service facility of toyota and this issue got fixed, when I asked the service staff why is that happening the answer was: "if you drive in a big pot hole the connection to the sensor that is located underneath the front passenger seat might become loose which requires to be connected again and re-calibrated. While having this issue the front passengers airbag might not deploy as the light on the middle console states that the passenger airbag is currently turned off even if the passenger is sitting in the seat and is restraint. To me it sounds as a big safety issue which should not happen just because of a pot hole.

I drove this 2012 camry on the high way to nashville tn for 8 days vocation started 28 june 2014, lot of water coming out from carpet, had to stop and clean water in every couple hours(my hand was injured when cleaning up water). After I arrived a hotel, I searched on the internet and found out that toyota had a recall in dec 2013 on this A/C water leak, it can cause "airbag warning light", electronic power steering light", or other problems. We are very worried about car may cause accident in the whole vocation. ------ after back to rochester ny, called toyota and they told me go to toyota service to repair this problem; so I went to henrietta ny toyota service and told them A/C water leak, they said they will fix that, on the service report printed:" customer states there is a water leak", "work performed by xxxx", "cleaned A/C drain". But the manager lied to me, he said there is no recall. ------ not sure if it is totally fixed, car still very moist, smell is bad, even after open car's 4 doors, put the carpet bask in the sun for few days. ------ yesterday, I found another toyota service report and recall letter from toyota on 12/28/2013, and this report shows they "performed work by xxxx." . I totally forgot this car recalled and already performed the "fix" for A/C water leak problem, obviously, toyota service did not fix this problem and they lied to me. ------ this camry has damage under carpet because of water leak, it may cause some electric circuits problems in the future, I don't want to be worry everyday, so I don't want this car any more (the lease term will end in one more year and a month, I paid $3000 down payment for 3 year lease, also every month payment). What is my choice? ------ thanks!

When I am driving the car, airbag light turns on and remains on all the time while I am driving the car. I took car to local toyota dealer and they have no clue on how to fix airbag on warning.

Passenger side air bag not working took to dealership for re=calibration did not repair have to schedule again no air bag light working so the passenger seat has no dash board air bag or knee air bags. Please investigate before someone is a accident and the safety air bags don't work.
