Problems with 2010 Toyota Prius AIR BAGS

Air bag did not deployed at the time of accident. damaged/rip apart front bumper...car is total loss as per insurance adjuster. other collided honda cr-v had all its air bags deployed. none on my prius. accident happened at major intersection ,when green light turned on i paddle my car , other car honda cr-v came at a speed to make left turned and hit my front bumper.

Air bags failed to deploy in car crash: my 2010 prius was stuck by another car who ran a red light, in the front right (passenger side). the car that struck me was traveling approx 35mph and pushed my car (also traveling approx. 35mph) into the path of a wooden telephone pole that suspended the traffic lights over the intersection. my car traveled about 20-30 feet further and stopped when my car hit the pole head on. the telephone pole broke in two in the impact. none of my air-bags deployed. the police report is incorrect regarding the airbags. i have contacted the police department to amend the report. as seen in the accompanying photographs, the air bags did not deploy, contrary to the police report.

Takata recall i received a recall in january 2017 regarding curtain shield air bags in the roof rails of my car. i contacted my toyota dealership in january and was told that they didn't have the part to make the repair but would call me when they got the part in. i called them two more times regarding this issue, most recently on 10-25-17 and was again told that they would contact me when they get the corrective part. can you please tell me when the corrective part should be dispensed to the dealerships? what is a reasonable amount of time to expect this to be corrected and what, if any, action should i pursue?

Airbag light started turning on every so often. after recall work at dealer, it went away, but again now holds constant.

I have a recall notice with a date of june 28, 2016. i scheduled an appointment with gene messer toyota in lubbock, tx on september 9, 2017. i showed the recall notice to the guy at the service station and was told to wait for a second letter saying that parts are available. the guy did not even bother to order the parts. i was rejected right away. i don't think another letter is suppose to come because of the timeline, but that was what i was told to do.

Srs light illuminated. toyota diagnostic completed at local toyota dealership. diagnostic indicated failure of spiral cable (clock spring)....similar to other toyota vehicles that are part of a recall. contacted toyota 1-800-331-4331. prius is not part of the recall, even though it seems that it has a similar failure. toyota logged the complaint.

Airbag warning light illuminates. toyota service techie's diagnostic showed a disconnected spiral cable. techie explained that the spiral cable has electrical connections to the driver's airbag module and the driver's air bag would not deploy in an accident. he said i should install a new cable spiral assembly kit (aka "clock spring"), part # 8430747020 at a cost of nearly $1000, including over $700 for the part. i did some research. part # 8430747020 was installed in many toyota vehicles, and has been recalled for the same problem in the corolla, matrix, highlander, tacoma, rav4, and yaris. see safety recall e0m (e1m) april 2015, update 5/12/14. the prius is not mentioned in the recall, although my car has the same exact problem with the identical part, and the toyota service supervisor agrees it is the same problem and part. i explained this to the service technician and supervisor, who called toyota, and toyota offered to cover 50% of the cost of the part, and none of the labor cost. i asked whether they could do the same fix in my car as they do on the recalled vehicles, namely installing part # 04004-07122, and they declined. see technical instructions for safety recall e0m spiral cable replacement. toyota should be recalling my car and fixing this problem at their expense, not just reducing the cost of the part. second, they should not be replacing this defective part with the same defective part. they should do a fix that will last. i assume the fix they've done on all other vehicles, with part # 04004-07122, would work for my prius. they refuse. fyi- the airbag light has been on and off for years, and seen by toyota during that period. this particular problem was diagnosed may 1, 2017. they believe the previous airbag warning lights were unrelated to this particular issue.

*takata recall i was involved in a major car accident during lunch hour on the 405 south fwy in los angeles, ca. i was struck by a semi truck who was merging into my lane and while i tried to get out of his way by speeding up. i was clipped by the truck and my car careened infront of the truck and was pushed before he applied his brakes. my car then spun out of control across all fwy lanes. i was hit by two other on coming cars before coming to a stop in the carpool lane. all cars including the truck were driving approximately 65-70 mph based on the police report. my foot was on the gas the entire time as i spun out of control. my complaint is regarding the airbags. none of the side or front airbags deployed at the time of all impacts. i had the vehicle inspected by an independant inspection company after contacting toyota. i have yet to hear back from toyota even though they have had the report for almost two months. i finally received the report from the inspector after threatning to have my attorney contact them. i don't know how to read the findings of the report since its all technical engineering. i am attaching the report and hope that someone in your department can review it and followup. thank you

Air bag recall - took my car in to kerry toyota in florence ky and they said they did not have time to perform the recall fix that no one there could do it. i had made an appointment a few weeks in advance on their mobile site and specifically said i was bringing my car in for the recall fix.

The passenger air bag sensor is faulty. i see this problem exists in the recall history of this make and model. but i don't see a current recall for it now. what should i do?

2010 toyota yaris. consumer writes in regards to remedy not available to repair passenger seat belt malfunction recall 16v-340. *smd the recall the consumer referenced is for the air bag. 8jb

There is a recall notice we received about a risk of spontaneous activation of curtain airbags and the potential for passenger injury. however, for several months i have been contacting various dealers to request the remedy and they say toyota has filed to provide them with the parts to remedy the problem. it is very troubling to be aware of a recall while such delays occur in fixing it. obviously, if my family were to experience injury due to this delay, we would definitely hold the manufacturer responsible.

Last year (by a letter not dated !) toyota motor sales usa mailed us a safety recall notice "interim notice" regarding the curtain shield air bags and since then the toyota dealer did not contacted us to install the retention brackets designed to prevent the inflator chambers from entering the car interior. when will the remedy be available ? if it is available can we be contacted as soon as possible by the dealer (jim coleman toyota, 10400 auto park avenue. bethesda, md 20817). thank you *tr

Toyota has not remedied this known issue in a reasonable amount of time. i, the consumer, owner, and operator of the vehicle is continued at risk while and until toyota prepares the remedy parts. time to remedy is unannounced and vehicle operator feels at risk.

Repeated code b1826. tested wiring to the driver side airbag; found 4 volts on one of the wires diag short to power in the driver side floor wire harness causing the airbag warning light to illuminate and deactivate the airbag system. wire was chaffed due to movement of drivers seat. this is nearly identical to the gm recall of 2010 chevrolet impala sedans issues july 21, 2016. gm admits a problem with chaffed wiring, but toyota with nearly an identical problem does not recognize that it has a problem...or pay for the repairs $1482.00. problem was intermittent for more than 6 months before dealer could solve the problem. most of that time airbags were inoperative.
