2012 Toyota Camry Air Bags

I recently was a passenger in my vehicle during a motor vehicle crash, and the air bags did not deployed for the driver or the passenger.

I hit a curb while I was turning and I my air bag light and seatbelt light turned on. My passenger air bag won’t turn back to on even when someone is sitting in and my seatbelt light won’t turn off. Nothing was deployed when I hit the curb just the lights turning on.

The drain hose for the AC Condenser may be clogged. Water has leaked from the seam of the airbag compartment on the driver's side near between the window and windshield. My safety and the safety of others are at risk because the water accumulation may cause an electrical issue and the car may not be safe to drive. My vehicle will undergo state inspection on Wednesday, February 9, 2022. I noticed this problem in January 2022.

I was driving one day and notice my airbag came on and now my horn won’t work and it makes a clicking sound from the steering wheel

The vehicle was taken to J & J Auto Service for normal maintenance, in addition to the airbag warning light being on. When picking up the car, the owner was informed that a pin/screw was missing from the airbag located in the steering column. Owner was advised that the airbag could deploy at any time and cause injury or death to the driver. The cost for repair - $900.00. or could be higher. Owner followed up by checking for recalls on this manufacturing flaw, but saw no recall for this problem.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE AND WAS TAKEN TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

IT WAS DARK AND RAINING. I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM A PARKING LOT ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE MEDIAN. I CROSSED IN FRONT OF A WHITE VEHICLE ON THE OUTSIDE LANE THAT WAS SLOWING AND TURNING. HOWEVER, THERE WAS ANOTHER BLACK VEHICLE ON THE INSIDE LANE THAT WAS HIDDEN FROM MY VIEW. THE LIGHTS BLENDED WITH THE GLARE OF ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS ON THE ROAD. AS I CROSSED, I WAS HIT ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE BY THE BLACK VEHICLE TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, NO BRAKING BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T SEE ME EITHER. CAR TOTALED. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. MY HEAD HIT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AREA SO HARD IT BROKE THE GLASS. I HAVE SIX STITCHES IN THE SIDE OF MY HEAD AND HUGE HEMATOMA ON MY SCALP. LARGE GOOSE EGG HEMATOMA ON MY LEFT TEMPLE AREA. CAUSED CONCUSSION AND HAVE POST CONCUSSIVE SYNDROME. HORRIBLE HEADACHES, BLURRY VISION, SORE AND STIFF NECK. THE OTHER VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. UPDATE 4/10/20: I STILL HAVE A SMALL HEMATOMA ON MY LEFT TEMPLE AND TWO ON MY SCALP. THEY ARE HEALING SLOWLY. I HAVE NECK ISSUES AND NEED CHIROPRACTIC CARE, BUT CANNOT GET IT NOW DUE TO CORONA VIRUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A WALL. THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WERE DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE POLICE WAS PRESENT, BUT A REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PRIVATE IMPOUND LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

ON JANUARY 6, 2019, I WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS MULTI-VEHICLE COLLISION ON THE HIGHWAY IN WHICH MY TOYOTA CAMRY WAS VIOLENTLY REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING AT 70MPH. THE COLLISION WAS OF SUCH FORCE THAT MY CAMRY WAS RAMMED FORWARD CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND A DOMINO EFFECT OF THREE ADDITIONAL VEHICLES IN FRONT OF HIM. PHYSICALLY, I SUSTAINED A CERVICAL SPINE INJURY, RIB CONTUSION, LEFT KNEE JOINT DAMAGE AS WELL AS CUTS AND BRUISES. WHAT I FOUND MOST DISTURBING OF ALL IS THAT NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THE MANY AIR BAGS IN MY TOYOTA CAMRY DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME AND THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME ALL HAD FUNCTIONING AIR BAGS THAT DEPLOYED DURING THE COLLISION. THE CHAIN REACTION CRASH PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS POSITION (SANDWICHED BY TWO VEHICLES) AND MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED THE MOST HARMFUL IMPACT OF ALL THE VEHICLES INVOLVED. SINCE THE DATE OF THE ACCIDENT, I HAVE HAD RESTLESS NIGHTS AS I KEEP THINKING HOW MY LIFE WAS IN JEOPARDY AND WHY MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS A SAFETY FEATURE DURING THIS COLLISION.

I WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISON TOTALING IT OUT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY

TAKATA RECALL. THE AIRBAGS ON MY CAR HAD PREVIOUSLY DEPLOYED BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A WAY TO CHECK IF REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. DATE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IS UNKNOWN.

AIR BAG OFF INDICATOR WHEN PASSENGER IS PRESENT, CALLED TOYOTA, THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS A LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN THAT HAD EXPIRED, AND DID NOT OFF TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS THERE WAS NO RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CAMRY'S AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, WHY NOT CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL

ON 4/11/18, AT FREEWAY SPEED, I WAS HIT HARD ON THE FRONT RIGHT FROM A VEHICLE WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE CROSSED CROSSED SEVERAL LANES AND CAUSED MY CAR TO SPIN AROUND, THEN WAS HIT DIRECTLY ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR BY ANOTHER CAR. I ENDED UP IN THE CAR POOL LANE FACING THE WRONG WAY. MY ENTIRE FRONT END WAS HANGING OFF THE CAR, MY DOOR WAS SMASHED IN AND THE LEFT REAR FENDER WAS HANGING ON BY A THREAD. NO AIR BAGS INFLATED!!! NONE.

NOT SURE IF THEY ARE TAKATA AIRBAGS. MY WIFE WAS REAR-ENDED (NOT HER FAULT) THAT CRUNCHED HER CAR BETWEEN 2 VEHICLES. THE INDIVIDUAL AT FAULT, ALTOGETHER, CREATED A 4 CAR ACCIDENT. THE ISSUE IS THAT NONE OF THE CAR'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. SEE PICTURES AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET. MY WIFE IS STILL SUFFERING WITH SHOULDER PAINS. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE CAR.

TAKATA AIRBAGS: KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS. AFTER TURNING RIGHT ONTO A STREET & ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 20 MPH OVER ABOUT 150 YARDS, I HIT A CAR THAT WAS STOPPED IN THE STREET. I HAD MY SEATBELT ON. THE AIRBAG KNOCKED ME UNCONSCIOUS FOR AT LEAST 10 SECONDS. (I WEIGH 122 LBS & I'M 5 FT 3.5 IN.) I DIDN'T REALIZE I'D BEEN KNOCKED OUT: I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE A PARTIALLY INFLATED AIRBAG. I DIDN'T REALIZE I' BEEN UNCONSCIOUS OR THAT MY EYEGLASSES HAD BEEN KNOCKED OFF. BASED ON WHAT I SAW, I THOUGHT THE AIRBAG HADN'T FULLY INFLATED. BUT MY 13-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, WHO WAS IN THE BACK SEAT, SAID SHE HAD THOUGHT I WAS DEAD BECAUSE SHE REPEATEDLY CALLED TO ME AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND I DIDN'T ANSWER. I NEVER HEARD HER OR EVEN KNEW MY CHEST/FACE WAS AGAINST THE AIRBAG. MY DAUGHTER SAID MY FACE AND CHEST WERE SLUMPED AGAINST THE AIRBAG. I WAS SHOCKED: ALL I KNEW WAS THAT I JUST SAW THE CAR I WAS GOING TO HIT, BRAKED, AND THEN SAW A PARTIALLY INFLATED AIRBAG. BUT MY CHEST HURT. THE NEXT DAY MY CHEST HURT SO MUCH I COULDN'T PRESS THE CAP ONTO A MAGIC MARKER. THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE FELT LIKE I HAD SOMETHING ON IT (LIKE A PIECE OF CLOTH), AND MY LEFT CHEEK AT THE CHEEKBONE WAS SWOLLEN AND BRUISED. THE VISION IN MY LEFT EYE WAS BLURRY, TOO. SO I WENT TO THE ER WHERE THEY DID CT SCANS OF MY CHEST AND BRAIN. THEY SAID I HAD A MILD CONCUSSION. I GOT A PARTIAL BLACK EYE ABOUT 4 DAYS LATER, AND I NOTICED A 4" BY 4" BRUISE ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY RIGHT CALF. EVEN TODAY--28 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT--MY CHEST AND CALF STILL HURT. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. I WAS ONLY STARTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO A 40 MPH STREET AND PROBABLY ONLY GOT TO 18 OR 20 MPH WHEN I SAW THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, HIT THE BRAKES, AND THEN HIT THE CAR. MY CAR HAS BEEN DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BECAUSE OF THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. MY DAUGHTER, WHO HAD HER SEATBELT ON IN THE BACK SEAT, WAS UNHARMED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE LEFT THE ROAD AND BECAME AIRBORNE BEFORE LANDING ONTO THE GROUND. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CUTS FROM THE SEAT BELT AND UNSPECIFIED INJURIES TO THE NECK, BACK, AND LEFT LEG. THE CONTACT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AWAY AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY STATED THAT THEY WOULD ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND SENT AN INSPECTOR TO INVESTIGATE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT YET BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,107.

'TAKATA RECALL' FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WHEN DEPLOYED COULD/WILL RELEASE HARMFUL METAL FRAGMENTS RUPTURING THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING VEHICLE OCCUPANT(S) AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. REPAIR IS NEEDED. WILL CONTACT TOYOTA MANUFACTURER. HAS NOT DEPLOYED YET.

MY VEHICLE WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AFTER ENTERING AN INTERSECTION OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY. MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING 5-10 MPH AND SUSTAINED MAJOR FRONT END DAMAGE IN COLLISION. AFTER BEING HIT BY THE OTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS TRAVELING A MINIMUM OF 40 MPH. MY CAR SPUN 180 DEGREES FROM FORCE OF THE COLLISION. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED DURING OR AFTER THE COLLISION.

I GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT TWICE ONE BACK ON OCTOBER 2014 AND RECENT ONE WAS ON FEBRUARY 27, 2017. BOTH WAS NOT MY FAULT. I WAS DRIVING ON A GREEN LIGHT OUT OF NOWHERE SUDDENLY CAR TURNED LEFT. I LOST CONTROL. I ENDED UP HITTING OTHER CAR AND THEN THE PROPERTY ON THE CORNER. MY CAR IS TOTALED, THE FRONT IS COMPLETELY CRASHED AND MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY DURING THE ACCIDENT.

THE CAR WAS IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT, OVER $12,000 FRONT END DAMAGE IN A FRONT END COLLISION. A CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF OUR CAR FROM A SIDE STREET. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE WHICH IS WHAT IS PROMPTING THIS INQUIRY.

TAKATA RECALL: MY TOYOTA CAMRY IS NOT FORMALLY PART OF THE RECALL BUT THE AIRBAG EXPLODED DURING AN ACCIDENT CAUSING SHARP PIECES TO HIT MY FACE, ARM, CHEST, AND I HAD A MOUTH FULL OF GLASS CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY TEETH. MY VEHICLE WAS STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A CITY STREET WHEN A MOTORCYCLE HIT THE DRIVER'S SIDE.

SRS AIRLIGHT IS ON. DEALERSHIP SAYS SPIRAL CABLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE.

"TAKATA RECALL" NOTHING HAPPENED SO FAR. JUST TO KNOW IF MY CAR AIR BAGS NEED TO BE REPAIRED

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BUT NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED EVEN AT SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. MY VEHICLE T-BONED ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT ILLEGALLY AND NEGLECTFULLY CROSSED MY WAY. MY VEHICLE'S FRONT WAS WAS DAMAGED, FROM MIDDLE PART ALL THE WAY TO THE DRIVER SIDE PART. BUMPER, HOOD, DRIVER SIDE FENDER, FRONT FRAME METAL, AND OTHER PARTS WERE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALL THOSE DAMAGES AND NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED CAUSING MORE INJURY TO OCCUR....UPDATED 12/29/15 *BF UPDATED 2/23/2016 *JS UPDATED 04/24/18*JB *CN
