Problems with 2008 Toyota Corolla AIR BAGS

There has been a recall on my vehicle and the recall has been unresolved thus far.

Air bag was replaced and light won't go off, causing inspection failure

Srs light is on not flashing. continuously illuminated. car was parked not moving i washed it and filled washer fluid reservoir fluid spilled so i rinsed it off when i was done i moved my car and srs light was on. i believe the senor shorted out when it got wet.

My car was involved in an accident that was bad enough that the airbags should have activated, but did not. this was after i had the recall on the airbags repaired at the dealer in late 2017. who can i address this problem with?

I had my car checked because a light came on on my dash on 12/6/17 so i had it checked and it ended up being my tire pressure was low, but the monitor they hook up indicated that my passenger airbag was affected, so i took it into toyota and they looked at me like i was dumb and just told me that they put air in my tires and everything was fine. so on 12/12/17 my maintenance required light came on and i had o'reilys check with there monitor and again it red flagged the passenger airbag, i knew it was time for an oil change so i figured that's why my maintenance required light was on but what concerns me is the airbag. according to my notes, i had my airbags supposedly replace in july of 2016 and i am not sure if a light would come on indicating something was wrong with the airbags but i need to find out if after a 1 1/2 years why i would have a problem with my airbag???? could this be related to the recall and how do i find out (other than going in to toyota) that they actually replaced the recalled airbag???) they tell me they did but doesn't my vin number have to be kept track of somewhere besides the specific dealer that i went to??? they treated me like crap and told me it was an $89 diagnostic fee and if it was an airbag would cost between $500-$700 dollars. i need to know more information on the previous airbag recall as i am beginning to wonder if it was never fixed because i have never had to have my car checked for lights coming on so i feel that i have been driving for 1 1/2 years with faulty airbags.

I found airbag recall number 16v340

October 9, 2017 i was rear-ended, hit at 35 mph. this hit i was sitting. i was side swiped at 40- 45 mph, moving at this time. i was again rear-ended at 50- 55 mph, stopped. and then i was backed into, in the front end of my car at 20-25 mph. how come no airbags go off?

I went to melody toyota in san bruno, ca (summer 2016) to have airbag recall taken care of. they told me they didn't have the part and they would call me for an appointment when it came in. after a month with no word from them i stopped by again. they told me i didn't need to stop by because they would call me when the part came in. that was over a year ago and they still haven't called! i got a reminder about the recall summer 2017 and made an appointment at one toyota of oakland for 10am 7/18/17. they told me car would be ready by 2:30. when 4:00 came and i had no word i asked. at around 4:30 i was told they hadn't started yet and they asked me if i wanted to make another appointment for another day. i walked out totally disgusted. obviously the toyota dealerships have put this airbag recall at the bottom of their priority list. i will try finding a third dealership today and hope to be done with this soon.

Steering column damaged airbag wiring, causing srs light to illuminate during normal driving.

Takata recall - it is unbelievable that i am unable to have passengers in the front seat of my car because of a risk of death and there is no date even to repair. this is a priority. i don't understand why i cannot have this fixed now. unbelievable!

Takata recall my local toyota dealer has told me they can't get the part. in a timely fashion.

Takata recall, airbags failed to inflate. car was in motion and hit a deer on highway and car is now deemed totaled by insurance company adjuster. recall on this vehicle was taken to toyota dealer approximately 2 months ago and supposedly taken care of. fortunately, no one in vehicle was insured. i wonder if there was some faulty instillation or the airbags were even replaced? the car was towed to a salvage location today in st. louis, mo.

We received a recall regarding the airbag inflator module on march 2, 2016. as of today, toyota still does not have the parts ready for me. two months ago, they said the parts would be ready by now, and just today when i called them, they said that the parts will not be ready until another two months. having a malfunction airbag is a really serious safety issue, and it causes me to be anxious everyday while driving. toyota has been irresponsible on their end and this issue needs to resolved as soon as possible. i look forward to hearing from you regarding the resolution.

Takata recall - nhtsa recall no. 15v-285 and 16v-127 i called my nearest toyota dealer to schedule replace of air bag module but the dealer said it would be 6 months before they could do it. they told me they only get two modules a week and there was many people on the wait list. i place my name on the wait list but was not happy. my nearest toyota dealer is rochester toyota, 4365 canal place, rochester, mn 55904. i find that a 6 month wait time is way beyond reasonable.

I received a remedy notice from toyota stating that "toyota has completed parts preparation for vehicles in your geographic area. please contact any authorized toyota dealer to schedule and appointment to have this remedy performed as soon as possible". i called today and was told they did not have the part and i would have to be put on a waiting list for at least 4 weeks. they send me a letter telling me they are ready then they tell me to wait??? and in the meanwhile i am not supposed to have anyone ride on the front passenger seat? ridiculous; obviously no sence of urgency.

I received a remedy notice from toyota stating that "toyota has completed parts preparation for vehicles in your geographic area. please contact any authorized toyota dealer to schedule and appointment to have this remedy performed as soon as possible". when i called the dealer today, they stated that toyota was only allowing them a few parts per week therefore they would have to order the part and it would be 6 weeks before they received the part. the notice advises that i should not drive the car with a passenger in the front seat until this is fixed. the timeframe does not reflect the urgency of the fix.

Takata recall. i just called broadway toyotai in portland oregon to see about replacement under the recall. they told me it would take about 20 weeks to get the part. i don't think this is a reasonable time to remedy the defect.

I received the re-call notice and i have been calling or passing by and the toyata dealer located at nw 12 street around 97th avenue in miami, fl keep telling me to wait 3 month. what is the purpose of this notice if toyta is doing nothing to fix it ?.

Takata recall i received a "remedy notice" from toyota regarding this recall and made an appointment with my toyota dealer. after dropping my car off at the dealership to have this resolved, i received a phone call notifying me that they could not "fix" the issue related to this recall. i was informed that as toyota has limited the number of "remedy kits" to 6 per dealership, per week, i would have to wait approximately 3 months (or more) before parts would be available to "fix" my vehicle. (never mind the fact that the dealership should have told me they did not have the parts when the appointment was made and wasted my time, but that's another issue). the original recall announcement i received from toyota stated "until the remedy becomes available in your location, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat". so, i am to be deprived of using the front passenger seat of my vehicle for an additional 3 months, or more (after having receiving the remedy notice), because toyota chooses to limit the number of parts available to local dealers to remedy this issue. that is ridiculous. since toyota sent me a "remedy notice" for this recall, i believe it is their responsibility to ensure my vehicle is fixed in a timely matter. a delay of 3 months because toyota is not supplying dealers with enough parts is just inexcusable.

I called a toyota dealership on june 18, to order parts for a recall. they told me they would call me with 2 to 3 weeks when they arrive, or call me and give me updates as to when they would arrive. today is august 28, and i have heard nothing. i expected they would call me, so i forgot all about it, but now i'm trying to make sure all my errands are done before school starts tomorrow, and i am just realizing i have had no call, no updates, nothing from them in over 2 months. my registration is due in november, and i work with the dmv, and i know if you do not take care of a recall before your tags are due, you do not get your tags. i don't want to be scrambling in two months for someone to get me my parts. this is utterly ridiculous. i can't drive safely with anyone in my passenger seat because of this, and yet, the dealership takes no heat for this. that's not right at all.

I am contacting you in regard to nhtsa toyota air bag recall no: 15v-285 and 16v-127 i received the safety recall remedy notice in june 2016 which stated 'toyota has completed parts preparation for vehicles in your geographic area. 'have this remedy performed as soon as possible.' i contacted the dealer, russell toyota, and was scheduled an appointment for june 10, 2016. at the appointment, i was told they could not make the repair because they had to see which part was needed and order it. i was told they would contact me when the part came in (fp number: 04006-06102 - air bag assy kit). which is why i am writing. it has been a month since i took my car to the dealer to repair the recalled defect. when i called for an update, i was told the part had not been received and that they did not know when it would be received. however, the toyota.com/recall faq site states 'the owner letters will be mailed in quantities consistent with parts availability and dealer repair capacity, and is expected to complete by june 1, 2016' and the notifications referenced above state 'the repair will take approximately 2 hours.' (suggesting the parts are available) therefore, it is reasonable to expect, 1) given i purchased my vehicle from this dealership, a replacement part for my vehicle would be available and 2) 3+ months is an unreasonable amount of time to repair a recall of this severity.

Takata recall - i received the recall notice in the email with the following instructions, " until the remedy is performed we recommend that you do not operated the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat" i immediately contacted my local dealer who took my all the information they need to complete the recall and the service advisor told me that they will have to order the part and will contact me when it arrives. it has been several months and they still don't have any idea when the part will arrive. i contacted toyota directly, and they don't have any idea when the part will arrive. i understand the amount of vehicles that are involved in this recall, however this has caused me numerous problems with the inability to put anyone in the passenger side of my car, and i have no idea when the problem will be rectified.

I own both a 2004 corolla and the 2008 toyota matrix. both vehicles are on this urgent saafety recall. my 2004 corolla appointment is for 6/15 at 8:30 am. this was not so bad. the 2008 corolla matrix appointment is for august 5th at 10:00 am. i think this is not right, two and a half months to correct an inportant safety problem like this? the deller told me that they do not have the parts to correct a 2008. in your letters you say that the parts are out to certain locations. i use this vehicle to transport my grandchildren to school soft ball games and other inportant appointment? the passinger seat has to be used. what am i going to do when this problem can not be corrected until august?

Takata recall. nhtsa recall no. 15v-285 and 16v-127. this involves what appears to me to be slow walking of the installation of the recalled passenger side airbag for my vehicle. in response to the recall letter i received from toyota (which is undated, but which i received on april 15, 2016), i called and requested that the replacement part be ordered on april 18, 2016 and i was advised by my local dealer (wolfchase toyota) that it would be "4 to 6 weeks" before the part would be available. it is now the 6th week and the service department here cannot give me any idea as to when the part will actually arrive. although i appreciate the nhtsa's attempt to address this issue through recall, if in fact parts are not going to be furnished to implement the remedy in a timely fashion, consumers are left paying the price by having to refrain from having any passengers sit in the front (a definite hardship when one's family contains enough people to fill the car). because consumers are "on notice," liability is presumably reduced or eliminated for both takata and toyota, while they further avoid the cost of recall implementation by just having the part "on order" in perpetuity.
