Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 toyota prius. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v487000 (air bags). The part to do the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
There is a recall notice we received about a risk of spontaneous activation of curtain airbags and the potential for passenger injury. However, for several months I have been contacting various dealers to request the remedy and they say toyota has filed to provide them with the parts to remedy the problem. It is very troubling to be aware of a recall while such delays occur in fixing it. Obviously, if my family were to experience injury due to this delay, we would definitely hold the manufacturer responsible.

Last year (by a letter not dated !) toyota motor sales USA mailed us a safety recall notice "interim notice" regarding the curtain shield air bags and since then the toyota dealer did not contacted us to install the retention brackets designed to prevent the inflator chambers from entering the car interior. When will the remedy be available ? If it is available can we be contacted as soon as possible by the dealer (jim coleman toyota, 10400 auto park avenue. Bethesda, md 20817). Thank you
Toyota has not remedied this known issue in a reasonable amount of time. I, the consumer, owner, and operator of the vehicle is continued at risk while and until toyota prepares the remedy parts. Time to remedy is unannounced and vehicle operator feels at risk.

Recall
Repeated code b1826. Tested wiring to the driver side airbag; found 4 volts on one of the wires diag short to power in the driver side floor wire harness causing the airbag warning light to illuminate and deactivate the airbag system. Wire was chaffed due to movement of drivers seat. This is nearly identical to the gm recall of 2010 chevrolet impala sedans issues july 21, 2016. Gm admits a problem with chaffed wiring, but toyota with nearly an identical problem does not recognize that it has a problem...or pay for the repairs $1482.00. Problem was intermittent for more than 6 months before dealer could solve the problem. Most of that time airbags were inoperative.

Takata recall: our car is over 6 years old. I would like to know if there is a faulty takata airbag in my car, and get it replaced immediately if so.
Does my vehicle have a takada airbag. I know it is not part of a recall. I just want to know who manufactured the airbag in my car!!!!!

I hit a car on the front left side of my car as he pulled suddenly out in front of me. The force and angle caused my car to rollover 3-4 times. The driver front or side airbags did not deploy. The car rolled over 3-4 times completely. It crushed the car totally. Passenger side air bag (and no passenger in the car) went off but not driver side airbag.
The air bag warning light activated and the indication of this light indicates the air bags will not deploy. The toyota dealer has determined that the spiral cable has warn out.
Airbag light turned on and was diagnosed as 'faulty air bag on driver side due to wiring harness issue'. I did not expect to pay for this repair as airbags are federally regulated 'safety' items. Car was just out of warranty. I did make a claim to toyota and part was paid for. However, world toyota in atlanta did charge me $293 for the labor. I would appreciate any information you can offer on this matter.
I had just pulled into the garage and was at a complete stop when the car surged forward and slammed into to the back of the garage, I would tip overattempted to stop the car with the brakes and they were not working so I shifted the car to reverse and it speed out of the garage up an embankment into a fence. It. Was up on it's side and I was afraid that it would tip over so in an attempt to bring it down level I shifted to drive and it speed off forward it then jumped a row of bushes into the front yard and did a large circle in the front yard missing three large pine trees and hitting a small tree that ended up stopping the car and deployed the air bag.

I had a collision with a vehicle as I headed north towards an intersection. On the other side the driver that hit my vehicle was supposed to yield to coming traffic. When I realized it I had crashed into a wooden fence. The car was hit in the left side front tire area, the hood, the fender, the driver and passenger left doors were damaged. Needless to say the car was declared a total loss. I would like an investigation since I believe the air bags should have deployed. I was hit in the front drivers side, then drove thru a wooden fence to be stopped by a storage container. The accident didn't result in any major injuries but the air bags should have deployed. ..updated 09/30/14 *bf the consumer stated the manufacturer found that the airbags should not have deployed.
