Takata recall airbags did not inflate during dec 2016 vehicle crash where car was stopped at traffic light and was hit from the rear and pushed into vehicle which was in front of toyota. Toyota was totaled at crash.
"takata recall" I was in an accident in my 2010 toyota corolla exiting a major interstate on 07/07/2017. The off ramp had a very sharp curve where I lost control (possibly a failure in the stability control system?) and was traveling at around 45mph. I went into a spin and the left rear of my car hit the guardrail, spinning out still my car then hit the guardrail head-on causing the front end to collapse into the motor cavity. The airbags did not deploy causing bruising to my shoulder and abdomen areas. My neck and back were injured causing me to be immobile for a couple of weeks. I have had cat-scans and mri's trying to find out what my injuries are. I have to go to pain management to deal with the everyday pain and my life has been affected greatly. I informed toyota about the airbags and they seemed very concerned. The are investigating the issue and sent out a company called bosch to download information from the cdr box. I am still waiting on toyota's answer to this problem. I was never aware of this recall as I had purchased the car pre-owned from a toyota dealership october of 2015. I also reported the airbag lights going off and on along with other electrical problems to two different toyota dealerships along with allstate insurance company, my provider.
Takata recall - I called the claremont, ca toyota location (601 auto center dr, claremont, ca 91711) on monday june 19, 2017 at 6:45 pm to schedule an appointment for my airbag due to the takata recall. The service customer service said they did not have any parts available and would call me once they get something. Since this is a major recall affecting thousands of cars, all toyota service dealerships should have ample of airbags on stock to remedy this recall. Since this is nationwide, all toyotas should be held accountable for having sufficient airbags at all times. With that being said, I just got into a car accident today ( june 21, 2017 ) and I heard a pop in my airbag. Luckily, the airbag did not deploy and no one was injured. Toyota should be held accountable for this recall and have sufficient airbags for all year, make and models.

Recall number 16V340000 · Recall details
Air bags: frontal: driver side: inflator module
- What is wrong
- Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, 2008-2010 Highlander, and 2009-2010 Tacoma, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and General Motors Pontiac Vibe vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the steering column assembly contains electrical connections to the driver's airbag module housed in a spiral cable assembly, which includes a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC). Due to the shape and location of the FFC's retainer, the FFC could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.
- Risk
- If the FFC is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. The failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.
- Remedy
- Toyota will notify the Toyota vehicle owners, and General Motors will notify the Pontiac Vibe owners. Toyota sent owners an interim notification letter in May 2014 to advise owners of the recall. Toyota will mail owners a second letter when remedy parts are available. General Motors sent Pontiac Vibe owners an Interim letter on June 20, 2014 notifying them that parts are currently unavailable. General Motors sent notices to the Pontiac Vibe owners on September 15, 2014, that a remedy is available. The recall began on October 27, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1‑800‑331‑4331.
