On March 12, 2025, I was involved in a frontal collision when another vehicle unexpectedly pulled out in front of me. Impact occurred to the front-left area of my vehicle. Despite the nature of the collision, the front airbags did not deploy. The vehicle is subject to Safety Recall 20TA03, which addresses incomplete or non-deployment of airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners due to ECU susceptibility to electrical noise in certain crash scenarios. The vehicle was declared a total loss by my insurance company and is no longer available for inspection. The manufacturer was notified in May 2025 and again in November 2025. The manufacturer closed the case citing inability to inspect the vehicle and later relied on photographs only to rule out airbag deployment concerns. No warning lights or messages related to the airbag system were observed prior to the collision. The non-deployment of the airbags placed my safety at risk during a frontal impact.

I was in a car accident .A woman failed to yield at a stop sign and rammed into the front of my car at a high accelerated speed. I was restrained but the right side of my forehead hit the rearview mirror .causing two huge knots on my head. My eye glasses also smashed into my right eye and I had a cut above my eye .I was thrown to the right passenger seat area , my right hip hit the gear shift and my knees and hip , were bruised. Apparently the seatbelt failed as well , but my main complaint is that the airbags failed to deploy. I suffered damage strain and bruising to both hands, the left was worse , I was made to wear a brace . I was taken to the ER via ambulance . One of the officers assumed I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt , which was not true at all . He thought I hit the windshield but I did not , it was the mirror . I have proof , photos and all EMT and ER records report that I was restrained . A paramedic helped me remove the seatbelt to exit my car . I feel I wouldn't have suffered the head, eye and other injuries if the airbag had deployed.
Air bags did not go off during the crash and the seats belt tensioner didn't lock up the seat belt resulting in injury to my self. Radio keeps rebooting

For 2 years I've received recall on my car and each time I get same response from toyota the tejas location that they don't have a remedy and I will get notified when they do. This is unacceptable !!! This is my 2nd year waiting and they don't have a list for me to get on . Two years waiting in a fix is way too long.
Driver seatbelt not wanting to unlock when pressing red button. Also touch screen radio not recognizing touch please fix these issues I see multiple others having same issues!
Takata inflators - the vehicle hit a curb and blew the passenger side tire. The seat belt light and air bag light has been flashing ever since about 65,000 miles. The air bag did not deploy and the seat belt still locks. If an accident occurs from the rear, side or front, the airbag would not deploy and the seat belt may not lock. The horn line disconnected from the horn unexpectedly. This happened on 6/15/18 at 88,585 miles. The air conditioner has a leak from the main line that connects to the square box at the back of the car wall. When the car is sitting still at a light or stop sign, hot air starts blowing.
As I was leaving for work one day, I tried hooking my seat belt and it unhooked, I tried again and it unhooked. Hooked until the last time. It worries me that my seat belt doesn't work properly and could fail to protect me in an accident. This happened in august 2017. I drive a toyota corolla s 2014. My car also has a non functional audio system and non functioning charger outlet. This is a hazard because I usually travel and need my navigation system functioning to get to places. Due to a non functional audio system I don't have access to navigation. I use my phone as navigation and when my phone battery dies I have no way of plugging it to charge in my car. On certain occasions I've found myself having to pull over in unfamiliar cities just to look for a place where I can plug my phone in to get battery, put the navigation and continue to my destination. It's really inconvenient and I don't feel safe having to take these measures.
