We received notice for the recall concerning the air bag module. There is a "nationwide part shortage" and no information as to when the part will be available. It could be a week or month the dealer told me. In the meantime, my daughter is driving a vehicle that could have an airbag malfunction which is very concerning to me. Toyota is not fixing the defect in a reasonable amount of time so I wanted to submit a complaint.

My driver's side airbag light illuminated roughly 5 or 6 weeks ago. I called the toyota dealership in which I purchased the car from back in 2011 and made an appointment to bring the car in to be looked at. When I arrived, I was basically told there was absolutely nothing they could do until the remedy for the recalled airbag became available. I then asked how long it would be, and was told it could be several more months. I have been driving my corolla for several weeks now, since it is my only mode of transportation with a defective driver's side airbag. I have not received any more correspondence from toyota since the first recall letter was mailed back in april of 2014. I am concerned with the danger that this problem poses and I do not see why toyota cannot fix this problem being that the light is on. In the recall letter from toyota it specifically states to contact the manufacturer immediately if the light becomes illuminated because it could pose a danger. I am afraid to drive the car as well as put my teenage daughter behind the wheel because of the fear of having a traffic accident and the airbag not deploying properly. Thank you for any assistance you may have.

My wife rear ended a taxi, she complained that the brakes did not stop the car. We had the car towed to the house, I freed the hood and removed the bumper cover to inspect the damage. When I got in and tried the brakes, the pedal went to the floor. When I opened the brake fluid reservoir to check the fluid, the brakes returned to normal. That indicates a vacuum to me, which is not normal.I would like to request analysis of the event data recorder.

The airbag light in our 2009 toyota corolla (idiot light) came on. When we inquired with the dealer, colonial toyota in lincoln, ri (http://www.colonialtoyota.com) told us that it will be covered in the most recent recall but they are not covering it yet. They refuse to fix the airbag until they can be reimbursed for it. According to toyota corporate, this will be september 2014. I find this unacceptable as we now have a vehicle without an airbag. Nor could we sell the vehicle as it would not pass inspection.

I am writing to see if my car's make/model/year should be included in the recent recall of 2003-2004 toyota and lexus cars, relating to inadvertent airbag deployment. About a week ago my airbag warning light came on and hasn't gone off since. After reading about these other model recalls today, and having had 6 other recalls performed on my car due to poor manufacturing, I think it is something the federal safety agency should look into. I have contacted the toyota customer service line but was told that for now, my car isn't included in the recall.

The spiral cable sub-assy airbag clock spring, (part of air bag assembly in steering wheel) will not work. Resulting in lack of air bag deployment in critical situations. Light will activate in dashboard, indicating the air bag is non functional. This vehicle has never been in any major car incident with the exception of some minor bumper scratches and the air bags have never been deployed. I took the vehicle to a toyota dealer and there computer diagnostic report provided several codes with this malfunction, considering the function of this part as a protection against personal driver or passenger injuries. The deployment or lack of deployment in any unexpected event can cause a major accident in driving condition.resulting in personal injury due to manufactures defect of this part.
My daughter was driving west bound on i20 between exit 189 and 190 on 11/1 when the car accelerated and hydroplane. My daughter was given permission to use my car on this date, the condition was rainy and low visibility. She took feet off gas and proceeded to brake when the car accelerated. As she put her feet on brakes she lost control and crash in guard rail. In the meantime I have checked the data base and there are two recalls on this vehicle. One involved acceleration. The dealer should have had these recalls done before the car was sold which could have helped to prevent the acceleration. Someone should be held liable other than the consumer for this mishap. I need to know what is the next step as a consumer. Also the air bag did not disengaged. I called the dealership and spoke with [xxx] on 11/6 who confirmed that there are still two recalls on this car and she asked when did I want to bring the vehicle in. Why was this not done before purchase. I also spent $2800 on an extended powertrain warranty through the dealership. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I noticed the air bag light was on. A toyota dealership told me it was the spiral cable in the steering column. A direct quote from the invoice says, "upon inspection found code (b1801-1831-1836) will need to start with replacing spiral cable first may need further diag--." the car was not in any collisions near the time of when the light illuminate. For other toyota owners, the dealership charged me $120 to diagnose the problem and said that it would be $600 to fix.
