Problems with 2009 Toyota Corolla AIR BAGS

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. every time the vehicle was started, the srs warning indicator remained illuminated. the contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 14v168000 (steering column assembly). the dealer was charging to have the vehicle repaired. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

So on the driver's side of the car the air bag light is always on even when the car isn't on. i went to the toyota dealership and stated the problem that i had and they insisted that i had to pay, when i got a letter from toyota remedy notice stating that stye can cover for fixing the air bag light. i have the letter with me directly from toyota. so i don't understand why i have to pay for it when i go to the dealership. this absolutely makes no sense and i feel like they are purposely trying to make money off of me. when i have a letter from toyota stating they can pay for the damage.

This car is my mothers car. she is unable to drive. my sister moved here to care for her. she has stage 4 lung cancer. my sister drives her to all her appointments for chemo, tests, etc. this is the only vehicle my mother can get into. this is causing a serious issue in transporting her. so far we are bing told there is no fix to the airbag situation. your recall # 17v006. man recall # g1r. we understand the time it takes to get a solution but she received the recall over a year ago and still shes sitting in the back seat. my sister has to make the choice of sitting my elderly mother or one of her children in front of that airbag or pay a babysitter. this is not fair to either my sister or mother under the undue expenses of my mothers illness.

Toyota' has notified that 2009 corolla has dangerous air bags and the vehicle is not to be driven until the airbags are repaired. toyota has offered a replacement vehicle until our car is fixed but demands that we surrender our car for storage. the dealer denies any responsibility for the storage of our vehicle and only offers outdoor storage for up to 6 months. we have only garage stored our vehicle and long term storage out door storage is unacceptable. the ft, myers toyota dealer refuses any type of liability waiver for garage storage of our vehicle. the demands of the toyota dealer are unacceptable and unnecessary. i would like to file a formal complaint against toyota that the recall and satisfaction of the air bag problem is unacceptable and the repair period of 2 to 6 months is ridiculous.

Takata recall: how could this have a recall and your company is stalling to complete this recall when you are knowing that when driven we can get into a major fatal car accident with the airbags forcing pressure against our bodies and even can burn our face and moreso death can appear during this incident. i was so frightened to think i see the airbag 6 second light light up and blink driving on the highway. thank the lord that nothing happened to cause an accident or a 36o turn multple crash on the rain, mudslide roads..

We received notice for the recall concerning the air bag module. there is a "nationwide part shortage" and no information as to when the part will be available. it could be a week or month the dealer told me. in the meantime, my daughter is driving a vehicle that could have an airbag malfunction which is very concerning to me. toyota is not fixing the defect in a reasonable amount of time so i wanted to submit a complaint.

Takata recall. we received the recall notice and were told that we would be put on a waiting list for the repair. it has been 4 months and when we called today, were told that they haven't received any parts from toyota at all and that there are still 8 pages of names ahead of us. meanwhile, someone usually has to ride in the passenger front seat. maybe the toyota company thinks it is just cheaper to ignore the recalls and pay the law suite when someone gets killed.

My driver's side airbag light illuminated roughly 5 or 6 weeks ago. i called the toyota dealership in which i purchased the car from back in 2011 and made an appointment to bring the car in to be looked at. when i arrived, i was basically told there was absolutely nothing they could do until the remedy for the recalled airbag became available. i then asked how long it would be, and was told it could be several more months. i have been driving my corolla for several weeks now, since it is my only mode of transportation with a defective driver's side airbag. i have not received any more correspondence from toyota since the first recall letter was mailed back in april of 2014. i am concerned with the danger that this problem poses and i do not see why toyota cannot fix this problem being that the light is on. in the recall letter from toyota it specifically states to contact the manufacturer immediately if the light becomes illuminated because it could pose a danger. i am afraid to drive the car as well as put my teenage daughter behind the wheel because of the fear of having a traffic accident and the airbag not deploying properly. thank you for any assistance you may have. *tr

My wife rear ended a taxi, she complained that the brakes did not stop the car. we had the car towed to the house, i freed the hood and removed the bumper cover to inspect the damage. when i got in and tried the brakes, the pedal went to the floor. when i opened the brake fluid reservoir to check the fluid, the brakes returned to normal. that indicates a vacuum to me, which is not normal.i would like to request analysis of the event data recorder. *tr

Takata recall & water pump. failure to provide replacement parts in a timely manner on the takata air bags. was told not to use front passenger seat. not practical! also, failure of water pump and indicator light to warn of the failure. resulted in total replacement of engine. temperature gauge showed normal when in fact the engine was over heating. car was just over the the mileage of 54,000 in july 2014. we were coming back from a trip to myrtle beach, and it died on the highway three hours from our house in ohio, just as dusk was falling. very frightening not knowing what was going on. no warning what-so-ever. had an expensive tow back to mogadore from new philadelphia, ohio. without a car for three weeks and forced to purchase a re-built engine from toyota. ganley toyota in akron was upset and mr. ganley, the owner, would not even talk to us when we requested an appointment. attached is a list of similar complaints when i looked up water pump failure in 2014. i have not been able to take a vacation since, nor afford a new car. the woman who handles titles was nasty in indicating that we did not purchase the car from ganley. we had received a better price from metro toyota for the car but i don't see why that should make a difference, since all of our maintenance has come out of the ganley akron, ohio dealer. attached is a letter i plan on sending to toyota. the customer never forgets.

My daughter was driving west bound on i20 between exit 189 and 190 on 11/1 when the car accelerated and hydroplane. my daughter was given permission to use my car on this date, the condition was rainy and low visibility. she took feet off gas and proceeded to brake when the car accelerated. as she put her feet on brakes she lost control and crash in guard rail. in the meantime i have checked the data base and there are two recalls on this vehicle. one involved acceleration. the dealer should have had these recalls done before the car was sold which could have helped to prevent the acceleration. someone should be held liable other than the consumer for this mishap. i need to know what is the next step as a consumer. also the air bag did not disengaged. i called the dealership and spoke with [xxx] on 11/6 who confirmed that there are still two recalls on this car and she asked when did i want to bring the vehicle in. why was this not done before purchase. i also spent $2800 on an extended powertrain warranty through the dealership. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

the spiral cable sub-assy airbag clock spring, (part of air bag assembly in steering wheel) will not work. resulting in lack of air bag deployment in critical situations. light will activate in dashboard, indicating the air bag is non functional. this vehicle has never been in any major car incident with the exception of some minor bumper scratches and the air bags have never been deployed. i took the vehicle to a toyota dealer and there computer diagnostic report provided several codes with this malfunction, considering the function of this part as a protection against personal driver or passenger injuries. the deployment or lack of deployment in any unexpected event can cause a major accident in driving condition.resulting in personal injury due to manufactures defect of this part. *tr
