Problems with 2010 Toyota Corolla AIR BAGS

I brought my corolla 2010 to auto nation toyota tempe last december 11, 2015 for the recall of airbags lights illumination. before i brought it to auto nation, airbags lights remain illuminated after traveling long distances. after the repair on december 11, 2015 there will be time that the airbag lights remain illuminated after starting the engine traveling short distances. i called the service advisor about the problem, and he told me that they have done what is to be done, and told me to bring back the car to them and if the problem is not related to what they have done , i might be charged with diagnostic for $193.00. i am worried that they might say that it has a different problem not related to the recall. my only concern is why would the problem with airbag lights remain illuminated after they have repair it?

Last december 11,2015 i brought my corolla 2010 at auto nation toyota tempe for air bag recall as the air bag lights is always illuminated. i waited for more than 3 hours for them to fix it. when its done, i drive the car home but after a day the airbag lights remain illuminated. i waited if it will disappear after a few days, but up to this day, the illumination of air bag lights is still on. it was fixed with no charge to me, but what about now that nothing has been fixed.

I made a left hand turn and was hit on the front passenger side. the force of the hit spun my car in a full circle, damaged the entire front of the frame, knocked off the front bumper, caused the trunk to open, and caused severe damage spanning the whole front end of the car including the driver's side door which i was unable to open. during this accident, the airbags did not deploy. the estimated cost for repair for my corolla was 13,000 dollars. *tr

I was driving at approx. 65 mph and due to an off-center feeling and a lax steering wheel, lost control of my vehicle. under no fault of my own i subsequently crashed into a guard rail, spun across lanes of traffic, and did not have any airbags deploy despite losing my front bumper, front bumper support beam, radiator, fans, headlight, had my door pinned in, hood crushed, and missing my passenger headlight. the vehicle was not totaled since no frame damage was done and none of the airbags deployed. *tr

The driver-side airbag failed to deploy in a side-impact collision. the estimated speed of impact was between 40 & 45 mph, directly striking between the driver door and the front driver-side wheel. toyota corporate customer service center was contacted, and replied that the system performed as designed. while not an expert in airbag design and operation, i cannot imagine a more clear-cut situation where the airbag should have deployed to protect the occupants. the vehicle has been declared "totaled" by the insurance company, but photos of the vehicle are available. *tr

When i purchased this vehicle, i immediately felt an awkwardness with the brakes. anytime i began to stop & the road was less than perfect, the brakes locked up & i seemed to slide to a stop. the feeling was almost like stopping on gravel or hydroplaning, just no control felt. when i complained about this, i was told that's how the new brakes are (i had previously owned an older vehicle) & the brake inspection found nothing. i have been in two mvas prior, once i was rear ended & the other time someone ran a stop sign & hit me. 10/12/11 i rear ended another vehicle & was also rear ended in the proocess. when i went to brake suddenly that day, the car slid into the vehicle in front of me. i am a very conscientious driver. i have always been told that when someone rear ends another vehicle, it is automatically their fault. i have since purchased another new vehicle, different manufacturer, and being told the toyota brakes were right, couldn't be further from the truth. 10/10/11 i had lab work performed & was diagnosed as being pregnant. this accident two days later, the airbags didn't deploy, either. the hood of the car came in through the windshield on me, the car has been deemed a total loss. there were two faulty toyota parts that failed me and my unborm child that day-the brakes and the airbags. i get to have surgery 10/28/11 to remove the now nonviable child from my womb. i equate this loss to the failures on toyota's part. *tt

Takata recall. we just received the recall info and were determined to be in zone b because the vehicle was registered in ct. however, the vehicle was purchased in florida in 2013, where it originated. my daughter was in school in florida so the car was there until she graduated in may of 2016. we moved to north carolina, renting since april 2016 and now owning since june 2016. all this is to say that the car, since it's origination has resided 95% of the time in florida and virtually not at all in ct. we feel the vehicle should be placed into zone a, due to it having been mostly in fl and now in nc and especially since my daughter and her friends use the car for the majority of the time.

To toyota : sending out an interim recall notice #16v-340 saying you are preparing a remedy is not satisfactory this recall has been ongoing for months and a remedy should have already been completed. toyota had plenty of time to prepare this remedy. advising owners not to drive vehicle with passengers in front is certainly not conducive when you only have one vehicle to use. you should provide another vehicle in the meantime.

While making a left-hand turn, my wife, driving our 2010 toyota corolla, was struck by a driver running a red light. the other driver (in a volvo wagon) did not see the light, nor break, striking the corolla on the driver's side door and wheel area at approx. 35-40 mph. the force of the impact was enough to crumple the corolla's door and wheel area, leaving the car totaled. no airbags deployed, not even the side airbags, leaving my wife with a concussion from the accident. the 2010 toyota corolla was purchased new this past fall, had only 9,000 miles on it and had sustained no previous damage or accidents. the mechanics at the autoshop where the car was deemed totaled said that they had no clue as to why the airbags did not deploy. since the car was new, i am wondering if there was a defect in the airbags that prevented them from going off. *tr
