2007 Toyota Corolla Air Bags

TAKATA RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A SECOND VEHICLE. DURING THE CRASH, THE FRONT SUSTAINED SEVERE DAMAGE BUT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED AWAY. NO POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A MILD HEAD INJURY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

I RECEIVED RECALL FOR MY CAR FROM TOYOTA, AFTER REPAIR NOW AIRBAG LIGHT IS COMING IN MY DASH BOARD .BEFORE RECALL REPAIR EVERYTHING WAS GOOD.THAN I CONTACT WITH REPAIR FACILITY OF TOYOTA (HAMER TOYOTA) THEY TOLD ME THIS ISSUE IS NOT DUE TO REPAIR.

SATURDAY, JUNE 2. THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS INTERMITTENT OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE SPIRAL CABLE. I READ ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER TOYOTA MODELS AND YEARS AND THAT A RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT TO OWNERS AND REPAIRS WERE MADE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. TUESDAY, JUNE 5. THE DEFECTIVE PART WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. I SPOKE WITH THE DIRECTOR OF PARTS AND SERVICE TO ASK WHY I WAS CHARGED FOR THE REPAIR. HE SAID THE SPIRAL CABLE WAS NOT RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE AIRBAG, SO IT IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE; IT'S A PART THAT WEARS OUT, LIKE A WORN-OUT TIRE OR BRAKE PADS THAT ONE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE. I TOLD HIM THAT OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES WITH DEFECTIVE SPIRAL CABLES WERE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO HELP BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF HIS HANDS AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO CALL THE 800 NUMBER FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. JUNE 6. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EXPLAINED MY CONCERN. THE REPRESENTATIVE WHO TOOK MY INFORMATION SAID THAT I WOULD GET A CALL BACK IN A DAY AFTER HE RESEARCHED THE SITUATION. THURSDAY, JUNE 7. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE INFORMING ME THAT MY REQUEST FOR TOYOTA TO PAY THE FOR THE REPAIR WAS DENIED. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT AS OTHER VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON. I WAS TOLD I COULD DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITHOUT THE DEFECTIVE PART REPLACED, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE PEACE OF MIND THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE TO ME OR TO OTHERS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING; I NEEDED TO BE ASSURED THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY UNDER CONDITIONS IT IS MEANT TO DEPLOY. TOYOTA SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE TOTAL COST AS THE AIRBAG DID NOT MEET THE STANDARDS TO SAFELY OPERATE MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING AND THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EAST STREET AUTO (746 EAST ST, PITTSFIELD, MA 01201, (413) 443-3447) WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 104,000.

TAKATA RECALL, AIR BAG LIGHT WONT GO OUT

TAKATA INFLATORS I HAVEN'T HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY AIRBAGS YET, BUT I SAW A NEWS ARTICLE THAT THERE ARE PROBLEM WITH MAKERS OF MOST CAR COMPANY'S AIRBAGS AND MY CAR WAS ON OF THE MODELS.

TAKATA INFLATORS. YOU, THE NHTSA, ARE FULLY AWARE THE TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE NOT SAFE AND HAVE HARMED PEOPLE. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON MY MODEL OF CAR? I COULD BE KILLED, AND THE DELAY BY THE NHTSA TO RECALL THE AIRBAGS, WOULD BE YOUR FAULT. MAYBE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO THE PUBLIC.

AFTER HAVING MY CAR SERVICED FOR THE RECALL, I NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG RED LIGHT DISPLAYED. SHOWING THAT MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG HAS EITHER BEEN TURNED OFF OR MALFUNCTIONED. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS WHO HAVE PERMISSION TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALLON BUT THIS IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL, BUT I DID SEE IT THERE WERE RECALLED IN EUROPE JUST THE OTHER DAY FOR NOT GOING OFF AS WELL AS GOING OFF WITHOUT BEING HIT. I JUST WISH MINE HAD GONE OFF. 09/23/2018 I WAS HIT HEADON BY A VEHICLE GOING 45 MPH. THERE WAS NO WHERE ON MY FRONT END THAT WAS NOT EFFECTED BY THE ACCIDENT. RESEARCHING I FOUND WHERE THE SENSORS WERE FOR THE AIR BAG, EACH ON EACH SIDE OF THE RADITOR WAS HIT. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEFLATE CASING MYSELF NECK AND BACK INJURY THAT WILL NEVER REPAIR. PICTURES WILL SHOW THAT THERE IS NO WAY NONE OF THE AIR BAG SENSORS WERE NOT DAMAGED OR HIT TO ADVISE THE AIR BAG TO GO OFF AND HOLD THE PERSON IN PLACE SO THEY DO NOT GET SLUNG AROUND LIKE A RAG DOLL UNTIL THE ACCIDENT IS OVER. I REMEMBER SEEING THAT THE ACCIDENT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, I JUST DID NOT THINK I WOULD OF BEEN INVOLVED IN IT. UNFORTUNATELY, A TRUCK HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH THAT VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO ME AT FULL FORCE. I FIRST WAS SLUNG INTO THE DOOR, THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER IS MY ACCELERATOR STICKING SO I HAD TO TURN OFF MY KEY TO AVOID FLYING ACROSS A BUSY ROAD. I HAVE A BULDGING DISC, DAMAGED TENDONS AND MUSCLES. I AM 61 YEARS OLD AND NOW FEAR THAT IF HIT EVER AGAIN THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY.
