Problems with 2005 Toyota Camry AIR BAGS

Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle was stolen on 8-9-06. while the vehicle was stolen it was involved in a crash. the vehicle hit a heavy metal guard rail at a dead end. the air bags did not deploy. there were injuries sustained. the vehicle was totaled. there was a police report filed.

The passenger airbag stays off for a smaller adult in the passenger seat. (~95lbs). according to the service department at the toyota dealership, this is normal, and that the adult may need to put on weight. i do not believe that the passenger airbag indicator should turn on and off intermittently, or stay off with an adult seated in the passenger seat. the passenger is seated correctly. problem continues to persist for adults under 95lbs. the incident was reported to the dealership as well as toyota. apparently, toyota now has a tsb out - tsb el005-05 to correct this safety issue. however, since the vehicle is out of warranty and there has been no recall, the issue has not been addressed in the vehicle. *tr

Dt*: the contact stated while driving 5 mph there was a head on collision with another vehicle traveling 20 mph. the air bags failed to deploy. seat belts were in use however; serious head and neck injuries were sustained. a police report was filed at the scene. the vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop. the manufacturer was alerted.

Both 02 sensors went out along with fuel sensor with under 2000 miles. then the catalytic converter went out under 5000 miles. the airbag light are off then on ??? dealer said working properly? dealer said it would be fixed 18 days later? they said parts were bad and not the right parts for the car? car stalls and accelerates. it get 12mpg since 02's and fuel sensors fixed. bad gas mileage. *jb

I was involved in an accident with my 2005 toyota camry. i truck turned in front on me. his truck hit my front driver side(front light) al the way down to the back door. none of the air bags deployed. the driver side mirror shattered the driver side window. if the side curtain side air bag would have deployed the glass would have cut me up and the mirror would have hit me in the face. *nm

The passenger side air bag had a hole inside. it was discovered while cleaning the leather. after the service manager examined the vehicle and then another vehicle of same year, make and model, he determined there was a hole. also, air bag light was on. the dealer stated to bring the vehicle back for the air bag light. however he would not repair the hole.*ak
