I was driving when I felt the seat belt tighten very hard and I saw the airbag icon on the dashboard. Luckily the traffic light turned red and I was able to stop. At that moment the airbag exploded. I did not hit myself so I managed to get out of the car and I saw the passenger's airbag exploded. My car did not hit anything and luckily no one was hurt.*dt*jb

Ecu (SRS) & takata recall
2004 toyota. Consumer writes in regards to the federal safety agency safety recall. *ld the consumer stated his wife is an invalid and cannot be left alone for the amount of time it would take to have the recall completed. The manufacturer was contacted and has yet to offer a solution.
Is the car safe since the airbag recall takata said that the cannot accept or deny it and toyota said they did not know ask takata. I saw the class action lawsuit and they sent me the card for 9997 at the start lile they were going to buy back my car or cut me a check so I could squash it and get another one. Please
Takata airbags/ while the car was in motion slowly turning into a parking space, the airbags deployed. The airbags impeded the driver from controlling the car and caused a crash into a building. This happened on a private parking lot. The car had recently been serviced for the takata recall. Nothing was struck to engage the impact sensors. The road and parking lot was free from obstacles. We want to know if non compliant service for the airbag recall created a failure which caused the airbags to deploy. We are having the car inspected by toyota and want to know if an impartial inspector can be present to oversee the procedure.
Takata recall: I took my toyota corolla in for the seat belt recalls. The seat belt light was not on when I took it in for repair. After repair the seat belt light was on. The obdii code is b1182 ' short in d squib circuit to ground. The airbag (SRS) light may illuminate with code b1177 and/or b1182, related to the front seat belt pre-tensioners. The dealership says they did the recall repair and the light being on is my problem. The pretensioners are related to the recall. How do I know, who do I ask who do I go to (and trust) whether the recall repair was done ' if at all. Why is the light on after repair and not before? Seeking to understand.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 toyota corolla. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated constantly. The vehicle was taken to price leblanc toyota (132590 airline hwy, baton rouge, la) where it was diagnosed that the spiral cable was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 156,640.
Takata recall; I had an appointment with autonation toyota south austin in october 2014 to fix the air bag issue. I arrived at my appointment and waited for about 4-6 hours only to be told that they did not have the part that they needed to fix my car and remedy the recall issue. This was after they identified all kinds of other problems that they claimed needed to be fixed. It was infuriating that they were not upfront about not having the part when I initially arrived. They then told me that they would give me a rental car because of the other services I agreed to but when I arrived at the rental car counter, they proceeded to charge me all these additional fees. I cancelled the entire request and toyota never fixed my issue. I complained and never received any kind of response from the dealership. See attachment. I still drive my car everyday with the faulty air bags because I don't have time to wait for another 6 hours to be told that the dealership does not have the part. I attempted to schedule another appointment in san marcos but they also claimed they would not know what part was needed and if they had it until they inspected the vehicle. They have the VIN number so I don't know why it's so complicated to just order the part ahead of time so my car can be fixed on the day of the appointment and I don't have to miss two days of work. This recall is obviously not a priority for the dealerships yet I'm constantly getting calls and postcards that I need to get the recall issues fixed. Perhaps toyota and the federal safety agency should train these dealerships to make this recall a priority. Time passes and I keep putting myself at risk with these faulty airbags and after three years, I still have not received proper service to fix these issues in an efficient manner that doesn't lead to 2 full days of loss of pay.

"takata recall" this complaint is not about the airbag itself. It hasn't been deployed. This is about lustine toyota dealer in woodbridge, va. I made an appointment for the airbag recall. Should have taken one hour. After two hours of waiting and people working there trying to sell me another car, they said they had no parts to fix it and told me to come back at another time. A few weeks later I made an appointment and went in again and waited two hours and the same thing happened again. I got a card from the man there who was working with me and it says he's a salesman not a mechanic. I noticed this after I completed the second appointment. Before the appointments I told the person the reason I was coming in. I will try another dealer after I finish filing this complaint.
I brought my car to toyota due to a recall (sra, ecu). After toyota performed work the seat belt audible alarm does not function and is therefore dangerous. Toyota could not find problem after spending six hours. Driving without functioning seat belt alarm is dangerous. I have copies of toyota dealer work orders. Dealer will not fix problem they caused by installing the recall.. Toyota USA refuses to fix it. I would not ever have a recall by manufactuer done again. Too dangerous. ## VIN passed ## toyota carolla 2004 ##

I looked up my vehicles recalls and noticed that there is one related to airbags. Coincidently I do have an air bag light lit on my car and it seems like my model year is susceptible to shorts in the system. I contacted the dealer and they told me that they have a 6 week or more wait on the recall and they will contact me. I find this to unacceptable for a safety feature.

Takata recall I contacted my dealer in may 2016 to schedule the SRS/ecu repair and was told they needed to order the parts. I called the dealer july 11 and was told the SRS part was not available and it could be sometime maybe months before the parts would be available. He stated it was takata's fault and there was nothing the dealer could do. I would like to know if what the dealer is telling me is correct.
