THE LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAGS READS OFF AND THERE'S A RED LIGHT ON MY DASH STAYS ON INDICATING THE AIR BAGS. THERE IS NO PASSENGER OR ANYTHING HEAVY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS JUST STARTED THURS. OCT. 22, 2025. NORMALLY WHEN THE LIGHT GOES ON THERE IS NOISE THAT GOES OFF UNTIL I REMOVE THE HEAVY ITEM FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS SCARY. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 5:15 IN THE EVENING AFTER I STARTED MY VEHICLE AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED @ 3 HOURS. I NOTICED THE AIR BAGS LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE RED LIGHT ON. I HAD PULLED OUT FROM THE CURB AND I THOUGHT A DOOR WAS OPEN. SO I STOPPED TO CHECK AND IT WAS NOT.
RECIEVED RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR AIR BAG REPLACEMENT ON 8/15/2015. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE AIR BAG AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO USE MY PASSENGER SEAT AND I CAN'T. I CAN'T EVEN SELL THE CAR WITH THIS DEFECT.
I AM STILL WAITING TO HAVE MY FRONT AIRBAGS REPLACED BY TOYOTA. THEY ARE A DANGER TO MYSELF AND ANY PASSENGER THAT RIDES WITH ME IN THE FRONT SEAT. MY FRIEND WHO HAS A HONDA HAD HERS REPLACED TWO MONTHS AGO. WHY IS THE NHTSA ALLOWING TOYOTA TO TAKE SO LONG TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHEN YOU KNOW IT IS LIFE THREATENING AND DANGEROUS ISSUE. PLEASE PUT PRESSURE ON TOYOTA TO FIX MY CAR AND OTHERS' LIKE ME WHO ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION. THANK YOU *TR
TAKATA PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL. NOTIFIED LATE JULY/EARLY AUGUST AND AS OF 10/21/2015, THE REPAIR PARTS ARE STILL "NOT AVAILABLE IN MY AREA." THIS SEEMS TO BE TAKING EXCESSIVELY LONG. I CAN'T ALLOW ANYONE TO OCCUPY MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE SOMETIME IN AUGUST 2015 DUE TO AIRBAG DEFECT; 2ND NOTICE IN SEPT. 2015. I CALLED MY TOTOTA DEALER AND PHONE # ON NOTICE. I WAS TOLD NO ONE SHOULD SIT IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL REPLACED. PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE. ITS NOW BEEN WELL OVER 2 MONTHS AND STILL UNABLE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD I COULD RENT A CAR , $25 PER DAY, BUT WOULD HAVE TO KEEP RENTAL UNTIL CAR REPAIR WAS COMPLETED, AND NO TIME FRAME ON WHEN PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. IF I DID RENT A CAR, IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY COST ME OVER $700.00. WHAT GOOD IS HAVING A CAR THAT YOU CANNOT USE WHEN YOU WANT TO. I ALREADY CANCELED SMALL VACATION IN SEPTEMBER. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA, ALL THEY COULD SAY WAS THERE IS STILL NO TIME FRAME ON WHEN PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,433.
THERE HAS BEEN NO REMEDY TO THIS SAFETY RECALL ISSUE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, AND I DO NOT BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. I AM SUBMITTING A COMPLAINT AGAINST TOYOTA. THE SAFETY RECALL IS CONCERNING PASSENGER AIRBAG DEFECTS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE FATAL.

SEPT 3RD AT 9:42 A.M. I CALLED UNIVERSAL TOYOTA'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICED DUE TO A RECALL I HEARD ABOUT ON THE RADIO AND CONFIRMED THROUGH THE RECALL WEBSITE. THE FEMALE WHO ANSWERED STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T SET UP AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART BUT THEY WILL CALL ME IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. SEPT 5TH AT 12:26 P.M. I CALLED AGAIN TO CHECK ON THE PROGRESS OF THE ORDER AND THE SAME FEMALE ANSWERED AND STATED THAT IT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS, TOOK MY PHONE NUMBER, AND STATED I WILL BE CONTACTED TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WHEN THE PART COMES IN. I CALLED TODAY, OCT 16TH AT 1:18 P.M. TO THE MAIN #, WAS ROUTED TO VIOLETA IN THE SERVICE DEPT, WHO STATED SHE HAD NO RECORD OF A SERVICE TICKET OR PART ORDERED FOR MY VEHICLE.
RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE 2015 STATING THAT THEIR IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 2015 AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING ELSE. IT STATES TO NOT USE MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH ME SINCE I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH FOUR KIDS ONE HAS TO SIT UPFRONT. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND MUCH SOONER AS SHOULD BE FIXED BY NOW. I AM PUTTING MY KIDS IN RISK EVERY TIME I HAVE TO PUT ONE OF THEM IN THE FRONT SEAT WHEN WE HAVE SOMEWHERE TO GO. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD BE DOING MORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND FASTER.
I RECEIVED A NOTICE MONTHS AGO FROM TOYOTA THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR MODULE IS DEFECTIVE. THEY STATED THAT A PASSENGER SHOULD NOT RIDE IN THE CAR UNTIL THE DEFECT IS FIXED. IT HAS BEEN MONTHS AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT THEY CAN'T IMMEDIATELY FIX THIS ISSUE.

TOYOTA IS DELAYED IN PROVIDING REMEDY FOR THE "FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE RECALL" ON MY CAR. TOYOTA RECOMMENDS NOT USING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THEN.

2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. *JB
I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT TOYOTA HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MY CAR MODEL AND YEAR EXISTS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT. "THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATORS WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO HAVE A POTENTIAL FOR THE INTRUSION OF MOISTURE OVER TIME. .... IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLES OCCUPANTS POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I SHOULD NOT RIDE WITH ANY PASSENGERS UNTIL THIS MATTER IS ADDRESSED FURTHER" UNFORTUNATELY I LIVE IN ATLANTIC CITY, WHICH HAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST HUMIDITY LEVELS FOR A CITY IN THE UNITED STATES. THIS SCARES ME AS I HAVE A WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE MY FAMILY IN THIS CAR IS JUST NOT AN OPTION. I SPOKE TO TOYOTA AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO ACT ON THIS MATTER AND JUST SAY THAT "I AM IN PHASE 1 AND UNTIL THIS MATTER REACHES PHASE 2, NOTHING CAN BE DONE"
RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. WARNED AGAINST LETTING ANYONE IN PASSENGER SEAT! STILL NO REPAIR. I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT! RIDICULOUS. GET THIS THING FIXED!
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V286000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE DEALER INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL OVER A MONTH AGO FROM TOYOTA STATING THAT MY VEHICLE'S AIR BAG INFLATORS "MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO HAVE A POTENTIAL FOR THE INTRUSION OF MOISTURE OVER TIME...THIS COULD CREATE EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE WHEN THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED AND CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO RUPTURE...METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." THIS IS A FATAL POTENTIAL MANUFACTURING ERROR. IT IS ALSO AN EXTREME INCONVENIENCE, AS I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE HAVING PASSENGERS SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO THE ISSUE. I HAVE MADE 2 CALLS TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, AS WELL AS ONE CALL TO THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER. MY TOYOTA DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS, BOTH TIMES, AND THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER REPORTED THAT THEY "DO NOT HAVE A REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM AS OF YET." I AM APPALLED WITH THE LACK OF ATTENTION THIS RECALL IS RECEIVING. I FEEL TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. THIS IS MY OFFICIAL COMPLAINT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR, NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. PLEASE INFORM TOYOTA OF MY DISCONTENT WITH THEIR INABILITY TO MAKE RIGHT A SERIOUS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER. SINCERELY, XX INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
