Tl* the contact owns a 2008 toyota camry. while driving various speeds, the horn would sound independently when making right and left turns. also, the air bag warning indicator illuminated independently. the contact drove the vehicle to the local dealer (westchester toyota sales, 2167 central park ave, yonkers, ny, 10710) where it was diagnosed that the bracket within the steering wheel failed and needed to be replaced. the dealer confirmed that the steering wheel and air bag were properly intact. the dealer stated that the failure was due to wear and tear. the vehicle was not repaired because the contact felt that he was not at fault and a crash did not occur. the manufacturer stated that they would not assist, the vehicle was not under warranty, and there was no recall. the manufacturer referred the contact to nhtsa. the failure mileage was approximately 158,000.

Urgent safety recall, (re. nhtsa recall no. 15v-286 and 16v-128) perform immediately! do not drive! dealer has no parts an has no idea when parts are available! several thousand of dollars to sit unused in driveway for undetermined amount of time. stranded with no transportation in rural area! what to do? drive and die?

The crash happened in a parking lot on march 19th, 2016. i had entered into the parking spot, by turning right. the car had come to a complete stop and my foot was on the brake pedal. suddenly i heard a loud revving noise and before i could even react to it, the car had jumped on to the walkway of the building. since i had stopped, my foot was on the brake pedal and even though i was pressing on it really hard, the car didn't stop. it slowed down a little bit for a fraction of a second, but then accelerated itself again, jumped ahead once more, went through the awning of a business suite in the building and hit a light post. the airbags didn't deploy. the car was totaled. as, i had turned right to enter into the parking spot, the steering wheel was still turned to the right and the car turned right and went parallel to the cinder block wall of the building, instead of going straight and hitting the wall, which could have turned fatal for me and my child. this vehical had been recalled earlier. i had received the recall notice from toyota in early 2010 for "potential floor mat interference with accelerator pedal (safety recall 90l)" and had it repaired in may 2010, from a local toyota service center.

During an accident in november of 2015 i received substantial injuries as a result of the airbag not inflating or the seatbelt engaging. i spoke with the body shop as to why neither system worked as designed, they could not answer this question. they believed that the sensors were compressed to engage the air bags but it did not engage. they also noted that when i hit the brakes the seatbelts should have locked which would have kept me stationary instead of allow me to hit the driver door jam above the steering wheel. both vehicles were in motion. the vehicle that hit me made a left turn into my front left quarter panel damaging the entire panel and part of the front driver door.

I was in center lane. driver in right lane changed lanes and struck my 08 camry in passenger side. this forced my car head first into a concrete wall. a 3rd vehicle then struck the drivers door. air bags did not deploy. i had to be taken to the er by ambulance. i incurred shoulder, neck and head injuries as a result of the air bag failure. car was deemed a total loss. *tr

My family and i were getting into the car for a day trip and my father in-law, who is a larger man (approximately 300 pounds), sat in the front passenger seat. when he did so, the passenger seat airbag and seat belt sensor lights came on. my husband checked to be sure that the sensors under that seat were connected and they were. the airbag and seat belt sensor lights have continued to remain on each time the car is running. *tr

I was at a stop sign crossing an intersection that has no traffic signals. the speed limit on the street i was crossing is 45 mph. i looked both ways and saw no cars, so i proceeded to cross the intersection. as i entered the intersection, i was struck by a truck in the left front corner panel of my car. i spun several times and was struck again in the back of my car. i was knocked unconscious and did not regain consciousness until i was in the ambulance. i was transported to a trauma hospital where i was treated for a broken clavicle, broken ribs, multiple deep body bruising, and a concussion. i underwent surgery to repair my clavicle and to this day still recovering from my injuries. i am writing today to request an investigation be made into the fact that none of my air bags deployed in this accident. i have reached out to toyota and received no resolution. i would think that with the multiple points of impact on my vehicle that my side curtain air bag or my driver's airbag would have deployed. i believe that if the airbags had deployed, i possible would not have had the broken bones i suffered. i feel this issue needs to be looked into for at the very least to prevent further accident injuries. my car had been in for service multiple times over the year prior for engine issues and my engine did need to be rebuilt. i feel that my airbags may have been faulty as well. i am asking that toyota be investigated for their practices and that i be compensated at the very least for wages lost due to time lost from work and medical expenses. thank you for your time....updated 12/03/14 *bf

A spider got into the a/c drainage tube causing water to drip inside of the car. this caused the airbag light to go on in the car. prior to bringing it to the dealer i cleaned out the car and noticed the floor was soaking wet under all of the mats. the dealer told me i could not drive the vehicle with the airbag light on that it is dangerous. i was informed that it would not be covered by the platinum warranty i took out when i purchased the car. i had to pay for the repairs even though it's a hazard. today i found out that there was a recall on camrys, avalons and others but for the 2012 and 13 models. i called toyota headquarters and they told me they would not reimburse me because my car was not included in the recall even though it's the exact same issue. i'm lucky the airbag did not deploy on it's own and cause damage to me. please help!! thank you. *tr

I have 2008 camry and have had a melting dashboard for few years. this is absolutely a safety issue because the melted surface reflects sunlight onto the windshield making it difficult to see through the glare. in addition the melted dashboard could fuse with the airbag cover and cause it to malfunction. i question what kind of chemicals may be released in the air as well. *js
