NHTSA Complaint #11309998 — 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA

LAST WEEK WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS SO WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY TO DRIVE MY CAR. I WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH IF MY CAR HAD A AIRBAG RECALL AND IT DID. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO DO THE REPAIR. WHILE I WAS WAITING THERE THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM, I WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE SPIRAL CABLE (CODE B1811). IF I DIDN'T REPLACE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL GOING TO BE THERE AND THE AIRBAG WASN'T GOING TO WORK IF I REPLACE THEM . THE HORN ON MY CAR HASN'T BEEN WORKING FOR SO MANY YEARS AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS CONNECTED WITH THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY. I PAID $510.22 TO REPLACE THAT. I'M THE ONLY OWNER FOR THAT CAR. TOYOTA COMPANY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SPIRAL CABLE BECAUSE IT IS CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG AND WE AS A CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT PAY FOR REPLACEMENT.MY CAR HAD 11 RECALLS SO FAR. OTHER TOYOTA'S HAVE RECALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT WITH 2005 YEAR OLD TOYOTA'S.
