2005 TOYOTA COROLLA Air Bags Problems

I was in the middle lane and a car came into my lane so I swerved and a car came up on me in the right lane and my car did a 360 and ended up in a ditch

The location of the collision sensors are positioned too low to allow consistent deployment of the airbags in the event of a collision with newer generation pickup trucks. The bumpers on the pickup trucks are too high, so a rear end collision results in the Toyota Corolla passing underneath the truck, and the air bag sensors do not sense the collision. The collision is only stopped when the windshield of the Toyota makes contact with the bumper, or the front of car impacts the axle of the pickup trucks.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated after an air bag recall repair was performed on the vehicle, the front passenger's seat belt warning light illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

My son drove the car to the store less than 2 miles from the house and the airbag light came on and stayed while he was driving. He looked up the light in the owners manual and it said take vehicle to the Toyota dealer immediately! I know multiple cars we have owned in the past have had airbag recalls. I can not remember if this one has ever been recalled and repaired in the past. I attached the photos of the light and the manual.

The warning lamp for the airbag came On and it has been On for about two weeks now. No issues with the airbag, though. Have not been to a dealer or repair shop for check up. Have not been inspected by any agency.

Unknown - The airbag light has been on for a while. Check engine light is also on, and after a few repairs/replacements of diagnosed issues the light remains. A Texas vehicle inspection report shows a P0420 fault code that will not go away, as well as a P0741 fault code about a torque converter clutch circuit underperforming or is stuck/off. I have a technical service bulletin from the inspection station that reads as follows: 10051865 Date: 04/16/2013 Toyota: In a collision, to help reduce injuries, with seat belt pre=tensioner and supplemental restraint systems (srs), it's possible that the devices may or may not perform as expected with unintended deployment.

Passenger air bag has been recalled and replaced twice. Drivers air bag light has been on quite some time. Has it or will it be recalled?

My 2005 Toyota Corolla airbags have been recalled AT LEAST TWICE already(?) and I have been to the dealer at least twice, for airbag recall repairs. Guess what? The red dashboard airbag light came on AGAIN! I took the 2005 Corolla to the Toyota dealer and the dealer announced that I have to pay for the latest airbag warning ⛔️ dashboard light problem. Since the airbag is an obvious “problem area” for Toyota, and I never have used the airbags…I feel this latest “airbag problem” should be fixed, by Toyota for free. Toyotas infamous and repeated “airbag problem’” has reappeared… yet again! I don’t have the exact date and time the airbag warning light reappeared (again) and there was never an accident where the airbags were deployed, or a certain speed at which the warning light suddenly comes on. The airbag warning light is on 99% of the time. I...

My airbag light stays on and I heard if the air bag gis off it could have metal in it..that don't sound like something I want to happen...also this cars power go's out and back on its scary when your driving down the road.it only has 141k miles something is wrong...

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that the dealer previously replaced the passenger's side air bag under an unknown recall; however, the air bag warning light illuminated after the recall repair was performed. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that she needed to pay out-of-pocket for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I had the airbag repaired during the recall. However, the airbag warning light remains on. In addition, the speedometer has stopped at 299,999 although the trip meter still works. The paint is peeling and the roof is rusting which is classic for toyota.

I took my vehicle to the shop on 3/31/21 as I received a recall notice for the airbags. I am currently trying to pass inspection for registration renewal but have several warning lights; one of them being the airbag system. Obviously the problem has not been fixed.

I submitted my 2005 Toyota Corolla to Priority Toyota in Springfield, VA where they replaced my airbag on 9/05/2019 per the initial recall notice. The airbag light subsequently came back on after installation. When I returned it to the same dealer, they told me it was not related to the recall and that I’d have to pay to get it fixed. I took my vehicle to another certified mechanic for a second opinion. That mechanic determined it is a defect in the recall replacement airbag mechanism installed or the installation itself and advises me to take it back to the recall servicer dealer. Priority of Springfield has refused to honor the recall or acknowledge the defective equipment or improper installation on the 9/05/19 recall and remedy the defective recall equipment or service warranty they performed. The defective airbag replacement installed by the recall dealer Priority of Springfield is defective, inoperable...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V741000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DOLAN TOYOTA (2100 KIETZKE LN, RENO, NV 89502) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 92,248.

I RECEIVED MULTIPLE RECALL LETTERS FROM TOYOTA AND CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AVONDALE TOYOTA IN AVONDALE ARIZONA ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER PARTS AND WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY RECEIVED THEM. I CHECKED BACK SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE NEXT MONTH AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA RECALL AND THEY SAID THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING THE TOYOTA RECALL PEOPLE WITH NO SUCCESS. WHAT ACTIONS CAN BE TAKEN TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED?

I AM BEING TOLD THAT MY CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AND THAT IT CAN BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO ME BUT I AM BEING TOLD THAT I MUST DRIVE IT TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON A LATER DATE . WHICH BASICALLY MEANS I HAVE TO RISK MY LIFE UNTIL THEN . I AM THEN BEING TOLD I WON'T GET A LOAN VEHICLE. AND THAT I WON'T BE REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE OF BRINGING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP . I AM BEING FORCED TO MISS WORK BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE NOW . WHICH IS ALL COSTING ME A LOT OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT NO COST TO ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HER SON THE DRIVER, WHOM WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE VEERED INTO HIS LANE CAUSING HIM TO SWERVE, LOSING CONTROL AND CRASHING INTO A GUARD RAIL HEAD ON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED UNDER AN AIR BAG RECALL ON FEBRUARY 2, 2017. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FAILURE DIAGNOSIS AS THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS AND TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE BELIEVED THE RECALL WAS FOR THE PASSENGER'S AIR BAG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HIS RIGHT EYE, MOUTH AND FOREHEAD THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION AS HE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE....

THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN USA IN 2004, AND WAS LEGALLY TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER COUNTRY IN 2010. THE RECALLS WERE NOT RECEIVED IN TIME TO TAKE ACTION AND FIX THE CAR IN USA. THE OTHER COUNTRY DOES NOT HAVE THE “KNOW HOW” TO FIX WHAT IS STATED IN THE RECALLS (TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND A ENGINE CONTROL MODULE RECALL). CAN YOU STOP SENDING SAFETY RECALLS IN USA AND REDIRECT THEM TO THE OTHER COUNTRY? CAN YOU PROVIDE THE “KNOW HOW” TO THE NEW COUNTRY TO FIX THE CAR? TOYOTA HAS OFFICES AND REPAIR STORES IN THE NEW COUNTRY. THE VEHICLE IS NOT REGISTERED IN USA DMV SINCE 2010, BUT IT IS IN THE NEW COUNTRYS DMV. *TR

NHTSA RECALL NO. 19V-741: I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THIS RECALL. I'M ATTACHING COPIES OF THE LETTER, ON WHICH I WROTE NOTES OF MY CONVERSATIONS WITH TOYOTA AND WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW SOME INFORMATION I BELIEVE IS RELEVANT TO MY COMPLAINT. HALL TOYOTA OF ELIZABETH CITY IS THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO ME, AND IS ALMOST 2 HOURS DRIVE AWAY (ABOUT 90 MILES). THE RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA STATES, "IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER WHO WILL ARRANGE FOR VEHICLE PICK UP." THE DEALERSHIP ASSIGNED ME AN ADVISOR, RUSS, WHO SAID I NEEDED TO CALL TOYOTA TO HAVE THEM OPEN A CASE AND GIVE ME A CASE NUMBER. RUSS SAID TOYOTA WOULD THEN CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD WORK OUT ARRANGEMENTS TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND SPOKE WITH SOMEONE NAMED...

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...

ON FEBRUARY 4, 2020, I TOOK MY TOYOTA COROLLA TO JIM NORTON TOYOTA OF OKC, 8401 NW EXPRESSWAY,OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73162, (405) 721-1911, FOR A SAFETY RECALL. THEY DID WORK ON MY CAR. THEY SAID THAT THEY DID REPLACE THE AIR BAG, BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, INDICATING THAT THE WIRE RELATED TO IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THE COST OF DOING THE WIRE REPLACEMENT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. IT WOULD COST ABOUT $700.00 TO HAVE THE WIRE REPLACED. IT SEEMS THAT THE WIRE REPLACEMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITH THE ORIGINAL BAG REPLACEMENT SINCE IT WON'T WORK WITHOUT IT. AM I REQUIRED TO PAY THE $700.00 TO GET THE AIRBAG IN PROPER WORKING ORDER? THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS THAT THE REMEDY FOR THE SAFETY RECALL WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE TO ME.

AIR BAG LIGHT ON DRIVERS SIDE FAULTY SWITCH IN STEERING COLUM!!

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND STAYED ON. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND FOUND OUT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG. I TOOK IT IN AND HAD THAT REPAIR DONE, BUT THE WARNING LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF. THE DEALER SAID IT NEEDS A NEW SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, AT A COST OF NEARLY $500. THE DEALER SAID THE AIRBAG MAY NOT INFLATE DURING A CRASH. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS REPAIR, I DISCOVERED THAT OTHER TOYOTAS ARE UNDER RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR INCLUSION IN THIS RECALL AND THE COST OF REPAIR COVERED.

DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON.

I WAS IN A REAR END ACCIDENT AND HIT SOMEONE AT 35 MPH - NONE OF MY AIRBAGS OPENED.

I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK AND AM STILL WAITING. PLEASE ASK THE TOYOTA DEALER TO CALL ME. [XXX] WITHIN 6 MONTHS.

TAKATA RECALL: THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS NOW ON. ALSO, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST SIX TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER, 2008. THE FIRST TWO OR THREE WERE REPLACED WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING ANOTHER THREE TO FOUR TIMES THEREAFTER AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE LAST TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARING WAS IN DECEMBER, 2016, WHILE ON VACATION. IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM JUST HASN'T BEEN PERMANENTLY SOLVED. SO FRUSTRATING AND EXPENSIVE FOR ANOTHER WONDERFUL VEHICLE.

IT TOOK WAY TOO LONG FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PARTS AND CALL US FOR THE REPAIR, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS NERVOUS FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.
