2004 Toyota Corolla Air Bags

The contact owns a 2004 Toyota Corolla Matrix. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact called the dealer to inquire about a recall for the air bag and was informed there were 2 previous air bag recalls that were repaired in the past. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The approximate failure mileage was 159,086.

I got in an accident with a car who ran a stop sign when I didn't have one. I was going approximately 15-20mph and my entire front end collided with their passenger side. My air bags did not go off at all.

We received the enclosed NHTSA notice about a vehicle repair that is need for a recall. However we no longer own this vehicle. We sold the vehicle in 2018 or 2019 and transferred the pink slip to the new owner. We have no way to contact him and he is responsible for the vehicle now. So we are just notifying you that we cannot take any action on this.

The contact owned a 2004 Toyota Matrix. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaigns: 08V162000 (Visibility), 15V043000 (Air Bags) and 15V285000 (Air Bags) and requested to be removed from the recall distribution list. The vehicle was destroyed several years ago. The contact stated that they have not owned the vehicle involved for many years.

The contact's mother owned a 2004 Toyota Corolla. The contact's mother received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V741000 (Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list as the vehicle was totaled. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON FOLLOWING THE FIRST AIRBAG RECALL SERVICE. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, CLAIMING THEY ONLY REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, AND THAT THE CAUSE OF THE SERVICE LIGHT IS THE SPIRAL CABLE, WHICH IS IN THE STEERING WHEEL. DEALERSHIP MUST HAVE CHECKED THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IN ORDER TO SEE IF THE INFLATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, WHICH MUST BE WHAT TRIPPED THE LIGHT.

I KEEP GETTING RECALL LETTERS. SO I CALL THE NUMBER AND THE PERSON CLAIMED I COULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND IT COULD BE DONE IN 1 OR 2 HOURS. THAT IS WHAT THE LETTERS CLAIM. I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT BUT WHEN I SHOW UP AT TOYOTA THE HAVE NO APPOINTMENT FOR ME. BUT HE CLAIMS IT WILL TAKE A "COUPLE HOURS". OKAY I WILL WAIT. SO HE SIGNS ME UP AND SAYS BE BACK AT 2 PM. SO NOW ITS GONE FROM 1 HOUR MIN TO 4 HRS MIN. MY CAR SITD INA PARKING LOT FOR 1 HOUR AND I HAVE AN "APPOINTMENT". THOSE [XXX] CLAIM THEY WANT TO FIX MY CAR BUT THRN THEY WANT TO JERK ME AROUND. I SCHEDULED MY DAY FOR 2 HOURS. IF ITS GONNA TAKE 4 HRS DONT SAY 1 OR 2. THIS DAY COSTS ME ALOT OF MONEY TAKING OFF FOR THIS [XXX]. ANYWAY I MADE A GOOD FAITH EFFORT BUT IF YOURE GONNA LIE TO ME JERK ME AROUND AND SCREW UP MY SCHEDULE THEN THEY ARE TRYING TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM GOING THRU THE INCREDIBLE HASSLE TO FIX THE VEHICLE.

IS THE CAR SAFE SINCE THE AIRBAG RECALL TAKATA SAID THAT THE CANNOT ACCEPT OR DENY IT AND TOYOTA SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW ASK TAKATA. I SAW THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND THEY SENT ME THE CARD FOR 9997 AT THE START LILE THEY WERE GOING TO BUY BACK MY CAR OR CUT ME A CHECK SO I COULD SQUASH IT AND GET ANOTHER ONE. PLEASE

TAKATA AIRBAGS/ WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION SLOWLY TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAGS IMPEDED THE DRIVER FROM CONTROLLING THE CAR AND CAUSED A CRASH INTO A BUILDING. THIS HAPPENED ON A PRIVATE PARKING LOT. THE CAR HAD RECENTLY BEEN SERVICED FOR THE TAKATA RECALL. NOTHING WAS STRUCK TO ENGAGE THE IMPACT SENSORS. THE ROAD AND PARKING LOT WAS FREE FROM OBSTACLES. WE WANT TO KNOW IF NON COMPLIANT SERVICE FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL CREATED A FAILURE WHICH CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. WE ARE HAVING THE CAR INSPECTED BY TOYOTA AND WANT TO KNOW IF AN IMPARTIAL INSPECTOR CAN BE PRESENT TO OVERSEE THE PROCEDURE.

TAKATA RECALL: I TOOK MY TOYOTA COROLLA IN FOR THE SEAT BELT RECALLS. THE SEAT BELT LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR. AFTER REPAIR THE SEAT BELT LIGHT WAS ON. THE OBDII CODE IS B1182 ' SHORT IN D SQUIB CIRCUIT TO GROUND. THE AIRBAG (SRS) LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE WITH CODE B1177 AND/OR B1182, RELATED TO THE FRONT SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DID THE RECALL REPAIR AND THE LIGHT BEING ON IS MY PROBLEM. THE PRETENSIONERS ARE RELATED TO THE RECALL. HOW DO I KNOW, WHO DO I ASK WHO DO I GO TO (AND TRUST) WHETHER THE RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE ' IF AT ALL. WHY IS THE LIGHT ON AFTER REPAIR AND NOT BEFORE? SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRICE LEBLANC TOYOTA (132590 AIRLINE HWY, BATON ROUGE, LA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 156,640.

TAKATA RECALL; I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH AUTONATION TOYOTA SOUTH AUSTIN IN OCTOBER 2014 TO FIX THE AIR BAG ISSUE. I ARRIVED AT MY APPOINTMENT AND WAITED FOR ABOUT 4-6 HOURS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART THAT THEY NEEDED TO FIX MY CAR AND REMEDY THE RECALL ISSUE. THIS WAS AFTER THEY IDENTIFIED ALL KINDS OF OTHER PROBLEMS THAT THEY CLAIMED NEEDED TO BE FIXED. IT WAS INFURIATING THAT THEY WERE NOT UPFRONT ABOUT NOT HAVING THE PART WHEN I INITIALLY ARRIVED. THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE OF THE OTHER SERVICES I AGREED TO BUT WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE RENTAL CAR COUNTER, THEY PROCEEDED TO CHARGE ME ALL THESE ADDITIONAL FEES. I CANCELLED THE ENTIRE REQUEST AND TOYOTA NEVER FIXED MY ISSUE. I COMPLAINED AND NEVER RECEIVED ANY KIND OF RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. SEE ATTACHMENT. I STILL DRIVE MY CAR EVERYDAY WITH THE FAULTY AIR BAGS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TIME TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER 6 HOURS TO BE TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE THE PART. I ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT IN SAN MARCOS BUT THEY ALSO CLAIMED THEY WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT PART WAS NEEDED AND IF THEY HAD IT UNTIL THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE THE VIN NUMBER SO I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S SO COMPLICATED TO JUST ORDER THE PART AHEAD OF TIME SO MY CAR CAN BE FIXED ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT AND I DON'T HAVE TO MISS TWO DAYS OF WORK. THIS RECALL IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A PRIORITY FOR THE DEALERSHIPS YET I'M CONSTANTLY GETTING CALLS AND POSTCARDS THAT I NEED TO GET THE RECALL ISSUES FIXED. PERHAPS TOYOTA AND THE NHTSA SHOULD TRAIN THESE DEALERSHIPS TO MAKE THIS RECALL A PRIORITY. TIME PASSES AND I KEEP PUTTING MYSELF AT RISK WITH THESE FAULTY AIRBAGS AND AFTER THREE YEARS, I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED PROPER SERVICE TO FIX THESE ISSUES IN AN EFFICIENT MANNER THAT DOESN'T LEAD TO 2 FULL DAYS OF LOSS OF PAY.

"TAKATA RECALL" THIS COMPLAINT IS NOT ABOUT THE AIRBAG ITSELF. IT HASN'T BEEN DEPLOYED. THIS IS ABOUT LUSTINE TOYOTA DEALER IN WOODBRIDGE, VA. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. SHOULD HAVE TAKEN ONE HOUR. AFTER TWO HOURS OF WAITING AND PEOPLE WORKING THERE TRYING TO SELL ME ANOTHER CAR, THEY SAID THEY HAD NO PARTS TO FIX IT AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK AT ANOTHER TIME. A FEW WEEKS LATER I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND WENT IN AGAIN AND WAITED TWO HOURS AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I GOT A CARD FROM THE MAN THERE WHO WAS WORKING WITH ME AND IT SAYS HE'S A SALESMAN NOT A MECHANIC. I NOTICED THIS AFTER I COMPLETED THE SECOND APPOINTMENT. BEFORE THE APPOINTMENTS I TOLD THE PERSON THE REASON I WAS COMING IN. I WILL TRY ANOTHER DEALER AFTER I FINISH FILING THIS COMPLAINT.
