Filed Nov 4, 2025 · Airbags, Electrical · WI

When I start the car it informs me that my seat belt is not being worn. Even though it is. Then a message appears on my dash that says "Srs airbag system malfunction visit your dealer" My family's safety is at risk if ever involved in a accident with no airbag deployment.

First day after I got the car coming out of my driveway front of the car scraped the ground and the front fender popped off the car. This fender is plastic and was attached to the car with plastic fasteners. It is a flowingly put together piece of junk. This is a safety issue since fender would come off and hit the car behind you whenever this car hits a slight bump on a highway. This is a design defect since during the 46 years I lived in the same home and owned many cars including 2 toyota camry, vw rabbit, mustang, porsche, mercury sable , 2 cadillacs, 3 buicks and I had no problem of any of these cars scoping ground and loosing a fender. I returned car to the dealer, dayton toyota on 6/28/19 with a financial loss of $2772.84. Banning of this corolla from the roads will save numerous lives. Please act promptly.
