I was driving as usual and suddenly the air bags exploded inside the dash causing damage to the passenger window and the front crystal. Seconds after the drivers airbag also opened and consequently the alarms. I did not impact anything and the car won’t start again.

The airbag light came on suddenly, even though I had the airbag recall work done for my vehicle. I took it to a Toyota Dealership who wanted to charge me for the repair which I was willing to and perhaps work with Toyota directly to get reimbursed for but the parts weren't available.

I received a recall notice, scheduled an appointment and then went to Bev Smith Toyota in Fort Pierce, FL. My appointment was for 9:30 AM. I decided that as long as I was there, I would get my oil changed (normally I do not use dealer oil changes because they are expensive, but since I was there anyway...). At 11:10, I was presented the bill for the oil change and told that they refused to service the airbag. There was some garbage on the floor of the passenger side that the service manager claimed rendered my vehicle unsafe to work on. I pointed out that no one asked me to clean out the front seat when I scheduled the appointment, that the items were there at 9:30 when received the car, and that the car apparently was safe enough for them to perform an overpriced oil change. I offered to...

I SEE A LOT OF THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPENING ON COROLLAS SPIRAL CABLE FAILURE. TOYOTA IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE WHICH MAKES SRS SYSTEM INOPERATIVE THEN WHAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THE SRS RECALL. THIS ISSUES NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS

ECU SERVICE CAMPAIGN/ TAKATA / REQUEST FOR SPIRAL CABLE REPLACEMENT BY DEALER HOLMAN TOYOTA-SCION MOUNT LAUREL, NJ 856.866.1740 (P) 856.866.0083 CUSTOMER #19139 PLEASE REVIEW TOYOTA MANUAL TO CONFIRM IF REPLACEMENT OF ALL COMPONENTS OF AIR BAG AND ECU ARE REQUIRED OR SUGGESTED TO BE REPLACED AFTER COLLISION BY CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS DURING THE REPAIR PROCESS PRIOR TO RELEASE BY INSURANCE CLAIM.

HAD 2 AIRBAG RECALLS COMPLETED AT DEALERSHIP-AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD WAS STILL ON WHEN JOBS WERE COMPLETED--I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $105 TO 'DIAGNOSE' THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS NOT SAFE....I SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR SYSTEM THAT IS FAULTY

I TOOK MY CAR FOR A AIRBAG RECALL. MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON PRIOR TO RECALL. I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF THIS FIXED, BECAUSE LIGHT IS STILL ON. FROM WHAT I HEARD MY AIRBAG WON'T EVEN WORK WITH THE LIGHT BEING ON . CALL SOMEONE ON TOYOTA AND THE SAID IT WOULD AN EXTRA CHARGE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. SHOULDN'T THE PROBLEM HAVE BEEN FIX WHEN I TOOK IT FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE HAD MY AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED, SO THAT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT INFLATE UNEXPECTEDLY. BUT MY MAIN CONCERN NOW IS WITH THE AIRBAG. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT RIDES IN THE FRONT WITH ME. NOBODY IS TAKING CARE OF THE AIRBAG ITSELF. THERE ARE METAL FRAGMENTS IN THOSE AIRBAGS, AND IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT THOSE FRAGMENTS WILL COME SHOOTING OUT OF THOSE BAGS WHICH WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND POSSIBLY DEATH. IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS. WHAT IS TOYOTA GOING TO DO ABOUT THE AIRBAGS.

GOT INTO WHAT COULD'VE BEEN A MINOR ACCIDENT, BUT THE CAR WAS TOTALED, HOWEVER, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT EVEN DEPLOY. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, THE SEATBELT WOULD LOCK AT RANDOM TIMES, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS MAKING A U-TURN ON A STATE ROAD. ONCE HIT, THE ENTIRE TIRE WENT UNDER THE CAR AND THE ENTIRE FRONT CAME OFF, WHICH WAS WHY I WAS SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF.

UPON GETTING THE ECU RECALL TAKEN CARE OF FOR MY VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY AIR BAG INDICATOR DASH LIGHT WAS LIT BECAUSE OF ERROR CODE B1181 WHICH, I WAS TOLD BY THE TOYOTA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, IS CAUSED BY A WORN SPIRAL CABLE. HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE MY AIR BAGS TO NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. EARLIER THAT DAY, I HAD THE SPIRAL CABLE RECALL REMEDIED ON MY 2008 TOYOTA YARIS. THIS IS INCONSISTENT AND DANGEROUS TO FIX A PROBLEM IN ONE VEHICLE AND NOT IN ANOTHER. I'M ASKING THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE RECALL BE EXTENDED TO ALL APPLICABLE VEHICLES.

TAKATA RECALL--I HAVE TRIED REPEATEDLY TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY AIRBAG REPLACED. I CAN NEVER GET AN ANSWER. I HAVE REPLIED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE TOYOTA SAFETY RECALL RESOLUTION TEAM AT 1-888-312-5994. THEY ALSO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET AN ANSWER AND THEY'VE ADVISED ME TO CALL THE DEALERSHIPS DIRECTLY. THE LAST ATTEMPTS WERE MADE THIS MORNING AND THE RESOLUTION TEAM SUGGESTED I JUST DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE MY APPOINTMENT SINCE THEY WILL NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. WHY IS THIS SO INCONVENIENT? WHY CAN'T TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS ANSWER PHONES TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS AND MAKE THESE CHANGES? HOW CAN I GET THIS REPAIR DONE IN A TIMELY AND CONVENIENT FASHION?
