Today, I received a recall notice on this car for the front passenger airbag inflator model. The notice said that no remedy was yet available. I called the toyota dealer and they verified this and said they did not know when a remedy would be available. The notice advises that nobody should sit on the passenger side of the car until the inflator module is replaced. Injuries and death have occurred when the airbag improperly deploys. This makes it difficult for my wife and I to drive the car without fear for our safety, my other car is a 2004 honda civic which has also been recalled for, first, the passenger side airbag inflator module and, then, for the airbag inflator module on the driver's side. I've been waiting 4 months for the dealer to get the replacement parts for the driver's side, since the airbags for both cars seem to have been manufactured by takata, it seems to me likely that the toyota will also, some day, be recalled again for the front airbag inflator module. I am complaining because it seems to me obvious that I have been driving 2 unsafe cars since the time I purchased them. Considering the danger of injury or death, it does not seem to me that the recalls are not being handled by toyota or honda in a timely manner with proper concern for the safety of the drivers and passengers of these cars. Honda did finally respond by replacing the passenger side module in april of this year, at the same time telling me I would have to wait indefinitely to replace the driver's side module. Finally, I am scheduled to have the driver's side replaced on sept. 3. Toyota can give me no date for the replacement of the passengers side and assures me that the driver's side is ok . I am doubtful.

I am writing this complaint because my car is being recalled due to defective front passenger air bag. The dealer and official toyota website cannot tell me when this defect can be repaired. My car is not the 1st wave of recalls. I am planning on moving long distance in the next few months to colorado, so can I get my car fixed at a toyota dealer there for free? I didn't see anything on the websites that included this question. Please let me know. By the way, I am filing an official complaint that the information regarding timing for the fixes is not available.

Today we received an interim recall notice on our 2007 toyota corolla instructing us not to drive the car with a front passenger. I contacted toyota to explain that we purchased this car specifically for my 16 year old daughter who currently has her ohio temporary drivers license. Per this interim letter, toyota is telling us that she cannot drive this car we purchased specifically for her. Ohio temporary driver licenses require a licensed front passenger. I was given toyota case #1508103451 by the toyota representative. I requested one of the initial recall repair appointments available. The toyota representative refused, and advised me to call a local toyota dealership to get on an initial call back list. I called metro toyota in cleveland, ohio at 888.439.0914. The service representative advised me that they are not making appointments or taking phone numbers for toyota call back appointments. The metro toyota service representative also advised it may be two months to two years before they receive parts for the takata passenger side airbag recall replacements. I am extremely disappointed in both toyota corporate USA and metro toyota. Both parties appeared to be unconcerned with rendering my 2007 corolla useless for my daughter to drive for possibly two years. I believe toyota needs to step to the plate and offer us a replacement vehicle in safe non-recall condition in exchange for our 2007 corolla if they cannot provide us with a timely recall repair. My daughter needs a vehicle to drive. Best regards.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota corolla. While traveling during inclement weather and making a turn, the vehicle spun out of control and crashed into a ditch. The contact, who was pregnant at the time, sustained whiplash and two herniated discs in the back that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who provided body repairs but no diagnosis to explain the air bag failure. The contact experienced a second crash while at a stop light. Another vehicle crashed into the drivers side of the contact's vehicle and the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was repaired by a repair shop for the body repairs, but the air bag failure was not diagnosed. A police report was filed. The contact sustained whiplash and received further medical treatment. A police report was filed. The contact mentioned that a third crash happened when a driver was bringing the vehicle back to the contacts residence, lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree as well as a telephone pole. The driver sustained head injuries and the drivers head went thru the windshield. The driver did not receive further medical attention. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact was to receive a recall notice in mid april 2015 and received the notification on august 10th, 2015. The contact was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v285000 (air bags) but was unable to get the repair due to experiencing more than two crashes in the vehicle with the air bags not deploying.

We received a recall notice on our corolla today stating that the air bag may deploy and cause the inflator to rupture, potentially causing serious injury or death to the vehicle occupants. However, according to the recall, we do not live in a priority geographic location to receive an immediate repair and will have to wait until enough parts are available. Toyota's suggestion in the meantime is to have no one to sit in the passenger seat. We have been advised to file a complaint if we believe that toyota has failed to remedy that effect within a reasonable time. Our family does not own an additional vehicle that will accommodate our family, so we feel this is an unreasonable alternative for toyota to offer (to merely have someone not sit in the passenger's seat.) we are dumbfounded that toyota would send a recall advising us of this potentially life threatening issue with no solution for their customers all over the country. We are now forced to potentially endanger the life of someone in our family as we have no other vehicle that will fit our family.

I received a notification from toyota yesterday regarding the recall for passenger side airbags. The recall letter says that the inflator can rupture "striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death." it says the repairs should be performed immediately and that the front passenger seat should not be occupied. After contacting my toyota dealership, I learned that I cannot be seen for almost 3 months to get the necessary repairs completed. I contacted the customer experience center to file a complaint and they suggested I contact the local dealership for a rental. The dealership reports they are not giving rentals (even on an as needed basis) due to the sheer numbers of recalls they are handling...I am severly concerned that such a strongly worded recall went out reporting that the "occupants" (not one) could be injured related to this defect and yet there is a 3 month delay in repairing my vehicle. It appears that this issue is related to humidity and I live on the gulf coast where it is always humid and moist. It is distressing to me that I am now expected make arrangements with other people or another vehicle if I need to transport five people in my (as I did this weekend with my nieces and nephews). It is annoying that any other passenger would be expected to ride in the back and hope that they are not one of the occupants affected by metal fragments that could pass through the airbag.....while I am certain this is very difficult for toyotal to manage, it is disappointing to me that it is acceptable for me to be allowed to drive this car for an additional 3 months knowing the risk. I am hoping that someone can look into how toyota is handling the recall and if they are seriously taking into consideration the safety of those who were unlucky enough to choose toyota years ago (a mistake I will not make in the future)....updated 10/20/15 *bf updated 2/24/2016*js updated 12/05/2017

2007 toyota corolla. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle airbags issues. *smd the consumer was informed his vehicle was not included in the air bag recall.
I purchased a brand new 2007 toyota corolla le in june 2007. On june 2, 2015, airbag malfunction light came on on display. Following "owner's manual" that came with vehicle, I contacted a local toyota dealer, who scheduled me for a june 11, 2015 appointment. Upon taking my car to toyota dealer for investigation on what could be wrong, toyota dealer found left front SRS sensor to have failed and center SRS sensor is poor/intermittent signal. I asked toyota dealer what caused these sensors to be defective, toyota dealer said they did not know. I then asked implication(s) of defective sensors, toyota dealer said in the event of impact airbags will not deploy. I contacted toyota using online form (http://www.toyota.com/support/#!/app/ask) on june 14, 2015. Toyota called me on june 15, 2015 but did not offer an explanation that sounded reasonable. I was told by toyota representative (rep) that it could be from wear. I asked toyota how sensors can get damaged if nothing has ever been in area of sensors location to cause any wear or damage. I then told her I have only had routine maintenance done such as oil change, air filter change, tire replacement etc done and that I have never been in a crash for as long as I have owned the vehicle. I then asked her how long sensors can be expected to last without damage and/or wear and she did not know. She said manager of toyota dealer who diagnosed the problem will contact me on june 17, 2015. Something tells me toyota is not going to accept this is toyota's fault hence I am filing this complaint. Thank you....updated 07/30/15 *bf updated 11/9/2015

I had my car scanned to find out why my air bag light was and the fault code was b1811 open for driver squidb circuit. They checked and found that my clock spring was bad. The part number was1 84306-02110 cable sub. This is a dealer item from toyota. I got the part from kings toyota in cinnainnti ohio. I work for another dealer and had them put in on for me,. I did receive a discount on both the labor and the part. I have called toyota to see if my car was on the recall list and it is not. This was my air bag and I got told by our service tech that my air bag would not go off if I had a front end was in a wreck. This is a safety issue. I don't see how my car is not on the recall list when I did have air bags issues. I do have a copy of the service work order.

I purchased this vehicle, on september 22, 2014. On october 21, the vehicle airbag light came on, I let the finance company diamond finance know that this light was on, I believe the recall should be extended to all corollas because they really are not safe and I cant even let my young children sit in the front of this car because I have no idea when this airbag will inflate. The car is also making a horrible loud noise, and the re is something definitely wrong with the coolant system on this car.
