2007 TOYOTA COROLLA Air Bags Problems

Airbag light appeared on 1/29/24 next to engine light.

The contact's mother owned a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while his mother was driving at approximately 35 - 45 MPH, she rear-ended another vehicle. None of the air bags deployed upon impact. The contact's mother was transported by ambulance to the hospital with a broken vertebra and fractured sternum. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

I received a notification that our car had been recalled, so I made an appointment with Deluca Toyota in Ocala to have the recalled items only fixed. After they had the call for an hour and a half they tried to force me to have the Serpentine belt replaced. We just had the serpentine belt replaced a few thousand miles ago and it was fine when we brought our car in for an airbag recall. They didn't fix the airbag, because we wouldn't pay for them to replace our serpentine belt....that does not need to be replaced again this soon. Serpentine belts last about 100,000 miles so at 2-3 thousand miles it is fine. Toyota is a bunch of lying thieves.

The contact's roommate owns a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while at 62 MPH, a deer inadvertently crashed on the front of the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated they veered to the side of the road. A police report was filed. The contact sought medical assistance the next day and was advised she sustained seat belt burns on the chest and knee injuries. The contact's roommate sustained neck injuries and sought medical assistance. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owned a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while sitting in their vehicle parked, the passenger air bag exploded independently. The contact confimed that there was no impact for the air bag to explode and there were no warning lights at the time. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and repaired the passenger air bag. However, a month later the contact was at a stoplight when the vehicle behind rear-ended the vehicle and caused the contact to rear the vehicle in front of them. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's head hit the steering wheel, which caused injuries to their head, neck, and back. Medical treatment was at the scene and took the contact to the hospital by ambulance. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed by an independent mechanic and then towed to a local dealer who inspected the vehicle and...

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...

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 RECALL, AIR BAG LIGHT WONT GO OUT

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 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.

RECEIVED MAIL REGARDING LEGAL NOTICE FOR OWNER OF VEHICLES WITH TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS SO INVESTIGATING.

TAKATA RECALL - WOULD LIKE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR.

I HAVE TO SET MY TOYOTA COROLLA IN THE GARAGE, AND I HAD TO USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WHILE THESE ISSUE WILL BE SOLVE. I USE THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY OF 5, TO WORK, FOR SCHOOL AND WEEKENDS. I COULD NOT SALE MY CAR IN A GOOD PRICE BECAUSE, THE POSSIBLE BUYERS KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL AND THEY OFFER ME LESS MONEY FOR MY TOYOTA COROLLA. PRACTICALLY I LOST A LOT OF MONEY DUE TO THIS RECALL. ALSO I HAVE ISSUES WITH THE BODY PAINT DUE THE CAR IS PARKING ON A OUT SIDE PARKING, THE RAIN, THE SUN AND THE WEATHER CONDITION IS DAMAGING MY CAR. IN CONCLUSION, BUYING THIS CAR RESULT IN LOST A LOT OF MONEY,

"TAKATA RECALL" I TOOK MY 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA IN FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL TO CENTENNIAL TOYOTA IN LAS VEGAS, NV , THE SERVICE AGENT LET ME KNOW THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT STILL REMAINED ON AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE WAS COMPLETED. A $ 150 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE WAS GOING TO BE APPLIED TO FIND WHAT ELSE BE WRONG WITH THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT ON THE COROLLA. I MADE CONTACT WITH TOYOTA CORPORATION TO EXPLAIN THE DILEMMA.(800) 331-4331 I SPOKE WITH KRISTINA AND WAS INFORMED THAT RECALL SITUATION HAS BEEN FIX AND IF I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT OTHER SAFETY ISSUES I MIGHT BE HAVING WITH THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT BEING ON, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT..

TAKATA RECALL I BROUGHT OUR 2007 COROLLA INTO PAULY TOYOTA IN CRYSTAL LAKE ILLINOIS ON APRIL 25, 2016 BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE RECALL. IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING IT, THEIR MECHANIC BROKE A PART AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A NEW REPLACEMENT PART. IT IS NOW SEPT. 29, 2016 AND THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART YET. THE NEXT ESTIMATED DATE THE DEALERSHIP MAY RECEIVE THE PART IS THE END OF OCTOBER. AS OF NOW MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THEIR PARKING LOT FOR 5 MONTHS. OBVIOUSLY THE END OF OCT WILL BE 6 MONTHS. THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER TELLS ME I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON OR WHEN I MAY GET MY CAR BACK. I FEEL TOYOTA IS NOT BEING UPFRONT WITH INFORMATION AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW...

TAKATA RECALL: TOYOTA IS FREQUENTLY MAILING ME REMINDERS AND MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS ADVISING ME TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER TO REPAIR A DEFECT THAT COULD SPRAY BITS OF METAL AROUND THE CABIN. I AM ON THE "LIST" AT MY DEALER AND THEY TELL ME IT COULD BE TWO MONTHS OR LONGER BEFORE THEY GET THE PARTS. WHEN I CALLED THE TOYOTA RECALL PEOPLE TODAY THEY SAID AT ANOTHER DEALER THE ESTIMATED WAIT FOR PARTS WAS 14 WEEKS. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? I AM SURE THAT ALL OF THESE NOTICES ARE MERELY TO MEET SOME REQUIREMENT THAT THE NHTSA HAS PLACED ON THEM. WHY DON'T WE JUST FIX THE CAR!

THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER OVER TWO MONTHS, SITTING, WAITING FOR THE PART. I HAVE A LOANER BUT WANT THE CAR BACK!
