A red light appeared on my dashboard in my 2008 yaris, brought it to the dealer, they said the airbag on the driver side was not working. There is absolutely no reason for this air bag to stop working. There has been no accident of any kind etc. That would cause this. The toyota, the dealer asked if I beeped the horn hard, I said no. They could offer no explanation for the defective air bag, and said the charge would be 500.00 to repair. This air bag that is not working, is a safety hazard for me driving this vehicle. I should not have to pay to have the airbag repaired, since it is defective, toyota needs to be responsible for this defective air bag, this is a serious safety issue. Please address this serious safety issue for the yaris air bag, the yaris is a very compact, small vehicle and any crash will be fatal without this airbag.

My airbag light came on, and hasn't turned off for longer than a minute in the past couple of months. Brought it to repair shop, was told airbag won't work with light on. I was told it was most likely the clock spring. Noticed on multiple forums people have the same complaint. Not sure if I want to replace it with a genuine toyota part if this is going to happen again in a few years.

On 12/19/2009 I was in a car accident on the northern state parkway I hit the guard rail cement divider at 40 miles an hour. My air bags did not deploy. My ABS brakes failed to stop the car in a snow storm. My seat belt did not work correctly. Again with the same car on 10/7/2010 a woman stopped short and completely stopped in front of me. I slammed directly head on into her while at 30 miles an hour. Again my air bags did not deploy and my seatbelt failed to retract. Again attempting to brake I went into the SUV.
