The airbag indicator on my car lit up. I scheduled an appointment with toyota to have it diagnosed, and they said that I needed a new spiral clock spring cable, which is part number 84306-02110. This is an expensive part, over $300. After doing some searching, I found out that 1) many other toyota matrix and corolla owners have had this issue and 2) there was a recall on this part for toyotas of a slightly different make, model, and year. I believe that this part is defective, and that toyota should cover the replacement cost, including labor.

The air bag light came on and it is a recall on the passenger air, but they are informing that it is nothing that can be done, until the another notice comes out and the parts are available for repair. This is a very big inconvenience and a disadvantage on the behalf of toyota. The only solution toyota suggest until the remedy or parts becomes available is that do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat to ensure safety. I am very dissatisfied with toyota and other measures should be taken in order to ensure safety of my vehicle.

My fiance' and I received a recall notice from toyota for a safety recall to remedy the sprial cable that controls the airbag warning light. The recall notice told us to take the car to a toyota dealership to have the car repaired free of charge. When we took the car for repair they said it had already been repaired and after checking with the manufacturer they stated it had been fixed on march 2, 2016 in nj. The car was in maryland on that date under my ownership so we do not understand how they could have repaired the car. They want to charge us for the diagnostics and possibly the repair since they insist that the car was already repaired. We have an airbag warning light located on the instrument panel that will not go off. This warning light is the same light on the recall notice. Toyota does not want to fix it without a fee, and they believe they have already fixed the problem. The light remains on our car to date. We would like an investigation of this mater before seeking legal counsel to rectify the safety problem. The vehicle was parked when the light illuminated and does not go off while driving the car.
