2007 Toyota Corolla Air Bags

Airbag light appeared on 1/29/24 next to engine light.

The contact's mother owned a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while his mother was driving at approximately 35 - 45 MPH, she rear-ended another vehicle. None of the air bags deployed upon impact. The contact's mother was transported by ambulance to the hospital with a broken vertebra and fractured sternum. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

The contact's roommate owns a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while at 62 MPH, a deer inadvertently crashed on the front of the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated they veered to the side of the road. A police report was filed. The contact sought medical assistance the next day and was advised she sustained seat belt burns on the chest and knee injuries. The contact's roommate sustained neck injuries and sought medical assistance. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.

I have been waiting over 2 years for this passenger side airbag recall to be remedied. I was told a remedy was available about a year and a half ago, but despite many calls and service appointments where I left the car with Toyota (they even kept my car for nearly 9 hours once), they always tell me they don't have the part available and that they will call me when it becomes available (they still haven't). I tried multiple Toyota service centers in my area with the same results. The airbag was already recalled previously and the remedy was to replace it with an airbag part that was also recalled, so in actuality it has probably been over 5 years since the original recall and after all this time my car still has an airbag inflator that may cause fire, injury or death. I paid for a car so I could use all of the available seating, and for most of my time owning it and for the foreseeable future I'm being told by Toyota not to use the front passenger seat. Totally unacceptable, regardless of parts shortage this shouldn't be a problem to bear solely by the vehicle owner, I have never been offered a loaner or anything to make up for the money I wasted on a car I can't use as advertised.

The contact owned a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while sitting in their vehicle parked, the passenger air bag exploded independently. The contact confimed that there was no impact for the air bag to explode and there were no warning lights at the time. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and repaired the passenger air bag. However, a month later the contact was at a stoplight when the vehicle behind rear-ended the vehicle and caused the contact to rear the vehicle in front of them. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's head hit the steering wheel, which caused injuries to their head, neck, and back. Medical treatment was at the scene and took the contact to the hospital by ambulance. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed by an independent mechanic and then towed to a local dealer who inspected the vehicle and deemed the vehicle a total loss. The contact's concern was that after doing some research they found out their vehicle had an open recall for the frontal air bags NHTSA Campaign Number: 19v741000 (Air Bags) that they believe their local dealer was aware of the recall but never informed which caused the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximate 150,000.

SECOND OR THIRD RECALL ON PASSENGER AIRBAG. RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF CURRENT RECALL (8/2019 OR EARLIER) STATING NO REMEDY AVAILABLE - TOYOTA RECOMMENDS NO ONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT - UNREALISTIC IN SETTING OF >6 MO TIMELINE FOR REPAIR. CHECKED BACK (2/12/20) AND TOYOTA WEBSITE SAYS REMEDY IS NOW AVAILABLE; HOWEVER, DEALERSHIP (GLADSTONE, OR) SERVICE CENTER STATES THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY. EXTREMELY UNTIMELY FIX TO A SERIOUS SAFETY RECALL.

I APPRECIATE THAT TOYOTA YOUNGER FIXED THE AIRBAG RECALL. I WOULD HAVE APPRECIATE IF THEY WOULD HAVE WIPED DOWN THE DASH BOARD AFTER INSTALLING. I ALSO NOTICED THE PANEL OVER THE AIRBAG HAS A BUCKLE/CREASE AND IT DOES NOT LOOK SECURE AROUND THE EDGES. I HAVE ATTACHED IMAGES . IT NEVER LOOKED LIKE BEFORE A DROPPED OFF MY CAR.

I HAVE RECEIVED THREE (3) SEPARATE RECALL NOTICES TO FIX THE AIRBAG ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. TOYOTA HAS NOT ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE A SAFE VEHICLE IN OVER 10 YEARS. I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL EVER MAKE IT SAFE. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO STEP IN AND FIX THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. EVEN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA HAS STEPPED IN WITH A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT. TOYOTA AND TAKATA SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS IN THE UNITED STATES UNTIL ALL OF THIS IS SUCCESSFULLY RESOLVED.

WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT UP FRONT THE AIR BAG DOES NOT SAY ON. THE CAR DEALER AT LAST RECALL TOLD ME NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN FRONT SEAT BECAUSE OF THIS. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. THANKS
