Problems with 2005 Toyota Corolla AIR BAGS

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.

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.

Takata racall airbag

Takata recall - i took my car to make the labor because the takata recall and few month later the light of the air bag in the front panel is on (red). then i take my other car (the same model and year except for the color) and happen the same thing. today both cars have the airbag light on. no body have found why, but it was after the labor because of the recall of the airbags. i dont remember right now the specific date.

I am trying to locate a dealer in this area and trying to find out if i have outstanding recalls, i need to know if my air bags were part of the recall. i visited a dealer and had one recall fixed, they were suppose to call me on another and never heard from them.

Tl* the contact owned a 2005 toyota corolla. while stopped behind a vehicle making a left turn at a traffic light, the contact's vehicle was struck from the rear by another vehicle. the contact's vehicle was pushed forward into the preceding vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. the contact sustained a hematoma over the left eye, a chipped tooth, and a fractured nose. additionally, the contact sustained laceration to the lips from her mouth striking the steering wheel. the contact was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. a dealer was not contacted. the contact stated that the driver's frontal air bag was replaced six months prior to the crash. the manufacturer was not notified of the issue. the vehicle was destroyed. the approximate failure mileage was 105,000.

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.

Airbag light has stayed on since the car was serviced by toyota dealer in des moine, iowa in nov. 2016. toyota of cincinnati just told me over the phone it would cost over $600 to fix it without even seeing the car.

Air bags did not go off in a hard collision with a deer. covering of bumper gone, hood bent 18"+-, radiator pushed into engine ,frame bent on driver's side in front of the door. car not driveable and yet the air bags did not deploy. state farm has the car policy 182 5776-c28-23a. police report bec icr 16-17141, blue earth county , mn state farm claim 23-0177-0w2. this vehicle has been owned by family members since purchased new. our concern is that the air bag did not go off and it possibly was unhooked.

Toyota airbag recall: i called toyota to schedule an appointment to have my airbags fixed back in november. i was set up with the toyota dealership to have my airbags replaced. they told me they had to order parts for that service and would call me once those parts came in. i never received a call about this again and they have not followed up with me on my inquiries.

Takata recall. failure to remedy defect within a reasonable time. awaiting replacement for over one year now and avoiding use of passenger seat is an undue burden. when passenger seat is used passenger is placed at unnecessary risk. was on waiting list in vermont for several months but have now moved to new york. my time on the waiting list is now reset and will be another 3 or more months.

Takata recall i received a letter from toyota saying that "toyota has completed parts preparation for vehicles in your geographic area." yet when i called a nearby toyota dealership to schedule an appointment, i was told that the part wouldn't be available for 6-8 weeks (eventually the person said she "observed that they arrived in 4 weeks"). is this what it means for parts preparation to be complete? to then require an additional 4-8 weeks to roll out?

Takata recall - despite visits to two toyota dealers in june 2016 i was unable to get the airbag changed according to the recall notice received in april. both dealers complained that the manufacturer was not suppling adequate replacement airbags and it would take an indefinite time. this is unacceptable. kindly intervene.

Takata recall. i received a "preliminary notice" months ago, telling me not to have any front-seat passengers in my car, and that i would be contacted again when the part was ready. last week i finally received an "urgent recall notice." i called today to schedule the appointment and was told they still don't have the part in and that someone would contact me. this is ridiculous. i essentially have half a car, and toyota is doing nothing about it.

Takata recall - i called green's toyota in lexington ky shortly after receiving the recall notice to schedule the recall repair. i explained that i wanted to bring it in on the 1st available saturday. i was routed to many people and finally after speaking to marion bailey (service mgr), i was told that they would have to order the part and once it arrived, i could schedule to repair. yesterday i received notice that the part was received. i called today, and was told that they do not do saturday recall repairs. my formal complaint is that 1. they could have an should have told me this before having wait 4 weeks for a part to arrive, and then having to find another dealership to repair this, and wait another 4 weeks for the part to arrive, and 2. we simply cannot bring this car in for repair during the week as we both work and cannot spend the majority of a work day waiting for a repair. we have a few saturdays that are available to us in the next several weeks and need to get this repair completed. i am formally notifying the nhtsa and toyota corporation of america that we have made every reasonable effort to resolve this matter as outlined in the toyota recall notice. however, we have met resistance and delays at most every attempt to get this recall repair completed. i am asking for specific and immediate assistance in locating a dealer close to our location, that will repair this item on a saturday, and for expedited scheduling and ordering/receiving of the recall repair part.

Takata recall - i scheduled an appointment with ourisman toyota in fairfax, va to have the airbag replaced. i called the parts department to confirm availability of the airbag prior to my appointment but received no return call to my voicemail. when i arrived for my appointment i was told that the waiting list at ourisman for this part is at least many weeks and possibly several months as they do not know when new shipments of airbags will arrive or how many will be coming. the only explanation for my not having received a call back was that "we use a call center now and we don't know what they are doing." my wife is leaving with the car for canada in just over a week and is very concerned about making a long highway trip with the airbag situation still unresolved.

Takata recall - similar to others who have written complaints, i received a letter nearly a year ago saying that i was involved in the recall and that there were parts available in my area. i scheduled an appointment at my local toyota dealership (kearny mesa) only to be told that they parts weren't in yet and that they'd let me know when they were. ...i realize there are a lot of cars affected by this. i also realize that my region has low humidity and there's less concern for the airbag to malfunction...but this really is unacceptable. nearly a year later and i have to either "not drive with anyone" or give them a fair warning that says "hey, that airbag might not be safe, thanks for riding with me!" it's absolutely ridiculous that there isn't a faster response or way to see when we'll be able to get our cars fixed.

Takata recall. i got a letter from toyota instructing me to bring the vehicle in for the recall repair. i contacted priority toyota of springfield, va. 7601 loisdale rd, springfield, va 22150 to schedule the repair. after i provided the vin, they instructed me that i must bring the vehicle in for a pre-inspection, then they will order the part, which will take a week to arrive, then i can bring the car back and wait for the repair which will take 3-4 hours. this is unacceptable. toyota has a faulty part and they need to make it right with customers, not make us jump through a bunch of hoops. the recall notice clearly states not to allow someone to sit in the passenger seat until the repair is made.

It has been nearly 2 years since i discovered that the passenger air bag is on recall. toyota dealer is still saying it could be up to 1 more year before they can get it replaced.

I received a letter in september 2015 about my car having a recall on it's airbags. toyota said they would call when they had the part in. i waited until january 2016. i called my toyota dealer in january and asked them if the part was in yet. they said no and that i had to order the part. prior to this, my original letter did not tell me that i needed to order a part. it simply told me to wait for a call from toyota when the part was in. so then they ordered the part in january. in march, i still had not heard anything. i called and asked about my part and they said they still did not have it. i finally received a letter saying my part was ready on may 23rd 2016. i called my toyota dealer to make an appointment. the service receptionist i spoke with was very short and rude with me. she told me that my part was still not in and that she had no way of telling me when it would arrive. i have had to drive an unsafe vehicle since september 2015. i should not have to wait almost an entire year for my recall to be fixed. i am still waiting and do not know when my toyota dealer will be able to fix my car.
