On June 16, 2015 Toyota expanded the recall to cover an additional 769,055 vehicles, including certain model year 2002-2004 Lexus SC, Toyota Sequoia, 2003-2004 Toyota Corolla Matrix, Toyota Corolla, Pontiac Vibe, and Toyota Tundra vehicles, as well the vehicles covered by the May 13, 2015 notification in the portions of Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas that were not previously included. The inflators in the front passenger air bags are susceptible to rupture in the event of a crash necessitating the deployment of the front passenger air bag.

Risk. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy. 2003-2004 Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles that are recalled under both 15V-043 and 15V-286 are under a Do Not Drive advisory. Owners of these vehicles are advised not to drive their vehicles until the recall remedy has been completed. Toyota will notify their owners. Pontiac Vibe owners will be notified by GM. Dealers will replace the passenger side front air bag, free of charge. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota began the recall on July 13, 2015.

Defect. Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) notified the agency on May 13, 2015 that they are recalling certain model year 2004 Sequoia vehicles manufactured August 18, 2003, to August 19, 2004, and 2003-2004 Tundra vehicles manufactured March 18, 2003, to August 25, 2004. On June 16, 2015, Toyota expanded the recall to include an additional 1,270,468 vehicles, including model year 2002-2003 and 2005-2007 Sequoia, 2005-2006 Tundra, 2003-2007 Corolla, 2003-2007 Corolla Matrix, 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe and 2002-2007 Lexus SC vehicles. This is to address a safety defect in the passenger side frontal air bag inflator which may produce excessive internal pressure causing the inflator to rupture upon deployment of the air bag. This recall addresses both the passenger side frontal air bags that were originally installed in the vehicles, as well as replacement air bags that may have been installed as replacement service parts. A replacement air bag may have been installed, as one example, if a vehicle had been in a crash necessitating the replacement of the passenger side frontal air bag.

Risk. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy. 2003-2004 Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles that are recalled under both 15V-043 and 15V-285 are under a Do Not Drive advisory. Owners of these vehicles are advised not to drive their vehicles until the recall remedy has been completed. Toyota will notify their owners. Pontiac Vibe owners will be notified by GM. Dealers will replace the front passenger air bag. The recall began on July 13, 2015. Toyota owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Pontiac owners may call 1-800-762-2737. NOTE: This recall supersedes recall 14V-312 in its entirety.

Defect. Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2003-2004 Toyota Corolla vehicles manufactured December 28, 2001, to May 2, 2004, 2003-2004 Toyota Corolla Matrix vehicles manufactured January 6, 2002, to April 29, 2004, 2003-2004 Avalon vehicles manufactured June 5, 2002, to December 20, 2004, and 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe vehicles manufactured January 18, 2002, to April 27, 2004. Due to electrical noise, a component in the air bag control module may fail, causing the front air bags, side air bags, and/or seatbelt pretensioners to deploy inadvertently while the vehicle is being operated.

Risk. Inadvertent deployment of the air bags or the seat belt pretensioners increases the risk of an injury or crash.

Remedy. Toyota will notify their owners. Pontiac Vibe owners will be notified by GM. Dealers will replace the air bag control module, free of charge. The recall began on August 24, 2015. Toyota owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. GM issued an interim notification to owners on March 27, 2015. The recall began on August 24, 2015. Pontiac owners may call 1-800-620-7668. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 13V-029 and 14V-147. Vehicles that had a noise filter installed as the remedy for one of those campaigns need to have the air bag control module replaced under this campaign.

Defect. Toyota is recalling certain model year 2003-2004 Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles and 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe vehicles. The supplemental restraint system (SRS) circuits are susceptible to internal shorting. The electrical short may create an abnormal current flow and increased heat which can damage the circuits. This could result in an inadvertent deployment of the front airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners.

Risk. Inadvertent deployment of the airbags or the seat belt pretensioners may increase the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash.

Remedy. Toyota will re-notify their owners who have already had their vehicles repaired with a noise filter, but did not receive a new airbag control module, and General Motors will re-notify theirs. Dealers previously installed a supplemental harness containing an electrical filter between the airbag control module and its wire harness, free of charge. Dealers will replace the airbag control module, free of charge. The recall began on March 13, 2013. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for second notices. For more information, Toyota owners may call 1-800-331-4331 and Pontiac owners may call 1-800-620-7668.

From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at …

I received a "do not drive" recall for my vehicle in the mail because of defective air bags. The recall letter claimed that there have been twenty-eight confirmed deaths in relation to this recall. I entered Priority Toyota of Chesapeake, VA to address the issue. That was on Monday, April 6th, 2026. Even though there was a "do not drive" order on the recall, Priority Toyota of Chesapeake refused to give me a loaner vehicle. It is now Monday, April 13th, and Priority Toyota of Chesapeake has claimed that they are still waiting on an email to begin repairing the vehicle, which I need for transport. This is a formal complaint that Priority Toyota of Chesapeake, VA has failed to repair the recalls to the vehicle in a timely manner.

I am attempting to complete a manufacturer-issued safety recall involving my vehicle’s airbag system, which includes a “Do Not Drive” advisory due to the risk of airbag inflator failure. Despite multiple good-faith attempts, I have encountered repeated barriers at the dealership level that have prevented timely completion of the repair. I scheduled a service appointment with Culver City Toyota and clearly indicated I required a rental vehicle to leave my car. My confirmation stated “Arrangement: Rental Vehicle,” and the appointment was scheduled accordingly. When I arrived, I was told no rentals were available and that they are first-come, first-served. I was turned away and told to return another day. When I returned, I was able to leave my vehicle, but was asked how long I would need the rental without being given a repair timeline. Only after asking was I told the repair would take approximately two days. This was not communicated in advance, and given the prior lack of rental availability, it is unclear how I would have been expected to proceed without transportation. This has occurred across multiple attempts: lack of rental availability and requests to leave my vehicle for extended periods without transportation have made it difficult or impossible to complete the recall. As a result, I have been placed in the position of continuing to operate a vehicle with a known safety defect under a “Do Not Drive” advisory due to the inability to access timely and practical repair.

This complaint concerns two separate incidents, both involving defective interior door handles. First, in 2023, the driver side driver door handle broke abruptly when the driver attempted to exit the vehicle. As a result, the driver, [XXX] , was trapped in the vehicle and required someone else to let him out from the outside. This was repaired privately at substantial cost to the owner. Then, the exact same thing happened to the passenger side front seat interior door handle in January 2025. The handle mechanism seems to be made of cheap plastic and seems to have broken, preventing the passenger from exiting the vehicle at all and leaving them effectively trapped in the front seat. This has been a major issue recently when transporting family members to the hospital, as time was lost when they tried to get out of the driver side passenger door and found that the door handle mechanism was inoperable.

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.

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 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 ATTACHMENT. I STILL DRIVE MY CAR EVERYDAY WITH THE FAULTY AIR BAGS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TIME TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER 6 HOURS TO BE TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE THE PART. I ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT IN SAN MARCOS BUT THEY ALSO CLAIMED THEY WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT PART WAS NEEDED AND IF THEY HAD IT UNTIL THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE THE VIN NUMBER SO I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S SO COMPLICATED TO JUST ORDER THE PART AHEAD OF TIME SO MY CAR CAN BE FIXED ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT AND I DON'T HAVE TO MISS TWO DAYS OF WORK. THIS RECALL IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A PRIORITY FOR THE DEALERSHIPS YET I'M CONSTANTLY GETTING CALLS AND POSTCARDS THAT I NEED TO GET THE RECALL

MY TOYOTA COROLLA LE (CAR) COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AND SHUTS DOWN RANDOMLY. IT HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. DURING ONE OCCASION IT SHUT DOWN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS INCIDENT ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE AS WELL AS TWO OF MY CHILDREN (WHO ARE ADULTS). IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A LOT OF TRAFFIC CAUSING A SEMI TRUCK TO MISS US BY INCHES. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ON STREETS AND IN PARKING LOTS. THE CAR IS ALWAYS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR'S ENGINE TESTED (THE BUSINESS THAT TESTED IT IS NOW OUT OF BUSINESS). THE TEST REVEALED THAT IT WAS A COIL PACK THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I HAD THE COIL PACK REPLACED BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT IT IS STILL UNKNOWN WHY MY VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN RANDOMLY. BELOW IT ASKS FOR A DATE WHEN THIS OCCURS. AS STATED ABOVE, IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES THAT I CAN'T RECALL THOSE DATES, SO I PUT IN AN APPROXIMATE DATE THAT THE INCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY OCCURRED. THE MILES ON THE CAR IS WHAT I HAVE ON IT AT THIS TIME (149,542).

"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.

MY NAME IS [XXX] , I AM AN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR FOR THE CITY OF BLUE ASH OH POLICE DEPT. ON 8/16/16 A 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA REAR ENDED A DODGE RAM VAN AT APPROX. 65 MPH ON EASTBOUND INTERSTATE 275 AT THE 48.5 MILE POST. THE INVESTIGATION SHOWS THAT ALL OCCUPANTS WERE WEARING THEIR SEAT BELTS, HOWEVER THE RIGHT REAR OCCUPANT SUFFERED LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES TO HER LIVER AND SPLEEN. THE SEAT BELT SHOWS SIGNS OF BEING WORN BUT THE RETRACTOR DID NOT LOCK. I THINK THAT THE SHOULDER STRAP PORTION MAY NOT HAVE BEEN WORN PROPERLY DUE TO THE WAY THE SEAT BELT WAS FOUND CINCHED UP INTO THE CLASP (PICTURES ATTACHED.) DO YOU HAVE ANY FEEDBACK REGARDING THE PICTURES? AND, HOW DO I TEST THE RETRACTOR TO SEE IF IT'S OPERATING PROPERLY OR POSSIBLY FAILED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT? I BUCKLED THE BELT IN THE LAST FEW PICTURES TO SHOW IT BETTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN ADVANCE!
