I checked my VIN number for recalls. Manufacturer recall number 20tb03, the federal safety agency recall number 20v024, dated: jan 17, 2020 and read; 'the subject vehicles may be equipped with an electronic control unit (ecu) from a specific supplier designed to receive signals from crash sensors and deploy the airbags and seat belt pretensioners. The ecu may not have adequate protection against certain electrical noise that can occur in certain crashes, such as severe underride crashes. This can lead to incomplete or nondeployment of the airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners.'

I was involved in a car accident on 2/20/2020 my vehicle was in motion. I felt my 2016 toyota corolla lose traction on the road and start to slip. My traction control light never came on and I never felt it engage. I hydroplaned, my car hit a guardrail head on, my seat belt did not tighten which caused me to hit my head and chest on the steering wheel and dash as well as injuries to my neck from being slung forward. My vehicle continued to impact the guardrail. My air bags didn't deploy which also caused me to hit my head and shoulder hard on the driver window/door. Upon the multiple impacts and despite sensors being struck, my air bags failed to deploy throughout my vehicle and my seat belt failed to tighten. Causing injury to different areas of my body.
Open recall since 1/17/2020. The federal safety agency recall# 20v024 manufacturer recall# 20tb03 there is a huge safety risk with my vehicle's airbags/seatbelts, that toyota still hasn't found a remedy for??!! How am I to feel about my wife and 2-year old son riding in that car daily? I have a vehicle I'm making payments on, but am very hesitant about using? How many resources/hours are being dedicated to fixing this issue? I don't understand how it can be taking so long, for such an enormous safety risk.
I've a recall on my 2 toyota corolla 2015 and 2016, that came out on jan 17 2020 and it has being more than 30 days and there's no remedy to the date . I do and my family not feel safe to drives those vehicles . What should I do on this case .? Please advice . A sensor from the air bags is not sending signal to the air bags in case it need to deploy, also the seat belts according with the information does not working properly .
Every time I go to unbuckle my seat belt it doesn't come undone when you push the button. I have to push the seat belt further into the buckle before it will become unbuckled.
The seat belt on driver side does not click and its hard to take out the seat belt as you have to press down on the red burton in order to release it.
My driver side seat belt won't click " not working"
Srs light is on in car indicator. And it shows there is something wrong with air bag. Bu after diagnosed by at least four mechanics it still do not show where the problem is from? ( what part?) or what's the problem? Or why is SRS light is on?
Takata recall? I was involved in an auto accident where my 2016 toyota corolla le was t-boned on the front passenger side/front corner(headlight area) and then the other vehicle also hit me along the back half of the passenger side as well. I was making a left turn on a city blvd when I was hit. Passenger side curtain air bags deployed. I was hit at a speed or 40-55mph. The front air bags did not deploy and the seat belt let me go forward( (I believe I hit the steering wheel), I have a bruised sternum and an aortic aneurysm in my descending aorta as a result of the accident.
I was recently in an accident on 1/19/2018. Where I was driving between 25-30 MPH. Neither my airbags deploy nor did my seatbelts lock very well.
Vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, our toyota was rear ended by a kia whos driver foot slipped off the brake. Our seat belt did not lock and caused my daughter to hit her head on the steering wheel. She was diagnosed with a concussion and is still suffering 3 weeks after treatments with injections and muscle relaxers given by a neurologist
Accident due to breaks locking and the car continued to roll. Back seat passenger seat belt did not lock causing passenger to fly forward and back; injured breast bone driver air bag from steering wheel did not inflate fully.
Several times the seat belt chime wouldn't stop although seat belt connected. Brakes screeching when trying to come to a stop. Took more effort than should for brakes to stop the car. The first time this happened, I had only had the car for two days. The second time it occurred was right after the 5000 mile maintenance service. It happened two times afterwards and one time today. I was driving any where from 25 MPH to 55 MPH. So far I have been lucky but I am beginning to be afraid to drive my car. The last time this happens was today.
I was making a left-hand turn on a two-lane highway. The individual behind me was not paying attention and did not stop. Instead of swerving to the right to miss me, she swerved into the oncoming traffic lane just as I was turning left. Her gmc 2500 heavy duty pick-up impacted my car at the driver door, front pillar, front fender.the impact pushed my car over 30 ft down the road before pushing my car approximately 20 ft off the road, up a slight hill. In this impact, no airbags deployed. The state trooper at the scene, the insurance company, and the tow truck driver are all stunned by this fact. In this accident my head hit the pillar next to my door causing me to be knocked unconscious, giving me a concussion and causing a head laceration requiring staples in my head. The tow truck driver said the cartridge in the seat belt assembly did not deploy and my collar bone was broken as well. My car was going about 5 miles per hour at the moment of impact. I was sitting in traffic prior to making the left-hand turn. In addition, I did have a progressive snap-shot installed in the car.
Reference: the federal safety agency id number: 10865853. Additional info - snapshot attached. Unable to upload audio file (available upon request) this is about "squeaking/creaking" noise that emanates from both front seat belts since purchase oct 2015. The event occurs when driver accelerates, decelerates, goes over speed bumps or uneven roads. The issue did not go away after driver seat was moved back and forth to ensure proper engagement in seat track.(note - this vehicle trim has manual seat adjustment). The creaking sounds is as if a bolted joint has come loose. Other drivers have reported that this issue was due to the seat belt bolt stripping loose. The issue is more pronounced in cold weather. The "squeaking" goes away when the seat belt is unbuckled. The "squeaking/creaking" resumes when the belt is braced tight against driver and vehicle accelerates or decelerates, or goes over uneven road or bumps. These db levels on these squeaks have increased where everyone seated in the car can now hear it. The incidents are still sporadic.
I am reporting an issue on sporadic "squeaking" noise that comes from both front seat belts since purchase oct 2015. The event occurs when driver accelerates or decelerates or goes over speed bumps or uneven roads. The issue does not go away despite moving the seats back and forth to ensure proper engagement. (seat adjustment is manual). The issue is more pronounced in cold weathers. The "squeak" event stops when the seat belt is unbuckled. The issue occurs when the belt is braced against driver when happens during acceleration or deceleration and going over uneven road or bumps. These squeak are now louder than after purchase and more annoying even though the squeaks come on sporadically.
