2004 TOYOTA COROLLA Air Bags Problems

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.

I have repaired all the safety recalls on my 2004 Toyota Corolla S. However, I just had another warning signal for the seatbelt/airbag today. Since this has been a recall previously, can I have the dealer look at the car and repair again? I wouldn't think the airbags/seatbelt warning would come back so fast after being repaired for the recall. Please advise. Thank you.

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'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.

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]....

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 WAS DRIVING WHEN I FELT THE SEAT BELT TIGHTEN VERY HARD AND I SAW THE AIRBAG ICON ON THE DASHBOARD. LUCKILY THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED RED AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP. AT THAT MOMENT THE AIRBAG EXPLODED. I DID NOT HIT MYSELF SO I MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND I SAW THE PASSENGER'S AIRBAG EXPLODED. MY CAR DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT.*DT*JB*JB

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.

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...

"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.

I BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTA DUE TO A RECALL (SRA, ECU). AFTER TOYOTA PERFORMED WORK THE SEAT BELT AUDIBLE ALARM DOES NOT FUNCTION AND IS THEREFORE DANGEROUS. TOYOTA COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM AFTER SPENDING SIX HOURS. DRIVING WITHOUT FUNCTIONING SEAT BELT ALARM IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE COPIES OF TOYOTA DEALER WORK ORDERS. DEALER WILL NOT FIX PROBLEM THEY CAUSED BY INSTALLING THE RECALL.. TOYOTA USA REFUSES TO FIX IT. I WOULD NOT EVER HAVE A RECALL BY MANUFACTUER DONE AGAIN. TOO DANGEROUS. ## VIN PASSED ## TOYOTA CAROLLA 2004 ##

I LOOKED UP MY VEHICLES RECALLS AND NOTICED THAT THERE IS ONE RELATED TO AIRBAGS. COINCIDENTLY I DO HAVE AN AIR BAG LIGHT LIT ON MY CAR AND IT SEEMS LIKE MY MODEL YEAR IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO SHORTS IN THE SYSTEM. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE A 6 WEEK OR MORE WAIT ON THE RECALL AND THEY WILL CONTACT ME. I FIND THIS TO UNACCEPTABLE FOR A SAFETY FEATURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V285000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE OF 2015. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I CALLED TOYOTA, MARINA DEL REY, CA, IN ORDER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS INSPECTED AND FIX. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN APRIL 2016. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART AND THERE IS A WAITING LIST FOR THE ACTUAL PART. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA SEVERAL TIMES JUST TO HEAR THAT THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PART AND THEY WILL CALL ME ONCE IT IS IN. IN THE MEANTIME, MY CAR IS PART OF THIS RECALL AND NO ONE HAS TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL I CONTACTED MY DEALER IN MAY 2016 TO SCHEDULE THE SRS/ECU REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PARTS. I CALLED THE DEALER JULY 11 AND WAS TOLD THE SRS PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND IT COULD BE SOMETIME MAYBE MONTHS BEFORE THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. HE STATED IT WAS TAKATA'S FAULT AND THERE WAS NOTHING THE DEALER COULD DO. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF WHAT THE DEALER IS TELLING ME IS CORRECT.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL TAKES 3 HOURS. I CAN NOT BE WITHOUT A CAR FOR 3 HOURS. I TRIED TO CALL THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T EVEN SCHEDULE THIS APPOINTMENT OVER THE PHONE. THEY SAID THEY WERE BUSY AND WOULD HAVE TO HAVE AN "ADVISER" CALL ME BACK. I WILL NEED A RENTAL CAR PAID FOR IN ORDER TO GET THIS SERVICE DONE. I WOULD THINK THAT THIS WOULD THE UTMOST OF IMPORTANCE AND SYSTEMS/PERSONNEL WOULD BE IN PLACE TO HANDLE THIS MORE EFFICIENTLY AND MORE TIMELY. SINCE THIS IS THE MANUFACTURERS' NEGLIGENCE, I EXPECT TOYOTA TO DELIVER ON IT'S LEGAL COMMITMENT TO PAY FOR ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BURDEN. IF IT TAKES 3 HOURS, I NEED A RENTAL CAR FOR 3 HOURS.

TAKATA RECALL.

TOYOTA SENT AN 'URGENT SAFETY RECALL' CONCERNING THE SRS ECU ON MY TOYOTA. THE LETTER STATED: 'THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL; TOYOTA HAS PREPARED SUFFICIENT PARTS FOR VEHICLES REGISTERED IN YOUR LOCATION.' I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER CHARLES BARKER TOYOTA IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VA, AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE WORK PERFORMED. I LEFT THE CAR FOR THE REQUIRED WORK, AND PICKED IT UP LATER. I STOPPED AT A STORE ON THE WAY HOME AND CALLED MY WIFE, AND SHE TOLD ME THAT THE SERVICE PEOPLE HAD CALLED AND SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER A PART. UP TO THIS POINT, NO ONE HAD EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE REPAIRS HAD NOT BEEN MADE TO MY CAR AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO SCHEDULE IT FOR A RETURN VISIT. I CALLED AND SPOKE TO SERVICE ADVISOR DERRICK WILLIAMS, AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY DO NOT...

I RECIEVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE BACK IN 2013 STATING THAT MY VEHICLE REQUIRES INSTALLATION OF THE SUB-WIRE HARNESS AND REPLACEMENT OF THE SRS ECU. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE TOYAOTA DEALER AT LEAST 4 TIMES. STARTING FROM APRIL 2013 AND THE MOST RECENT FEBRUARY 28, 2016 AND EACH TIME THEY TELL ME THAT THE PARTS HAD BEEN ORDERED BUT MY CAR STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

"TAKATA RECALL" I KEEP RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES, BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT AND WHEN I CALL THE 1800 NUMBER THEY ACT LIKE EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF. THEN THE DEALERSHIP CALLS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AGAIN. I HAVE GIVEN UP ON THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE TIME BEING. I HOPE THAT AS TIME PASSES THE SYSTEM WILL GET SMOOTHED OUT WHERE THIS CAN ACTUALLY GET FIXED, MAYBE. IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT FIXING THE AIRBAG ISSUES ARE A SERIOUS PRIORITY IN PERSON, ONLY ON PAPER.
