My biggest concern is that my passenger airbag works sometimes and doesn't work, when i have people sitting in my passenger seat, the airbag shuts off, when no one is sitting there it turns on, this is happening while i am driving.

Takata inflators. i have 2016 camry, it just went out of warranty, i have a major safety concern related to the air bags and seat belts, the red warning light for airbag and seat belt came up about 7 months ago, also the passenger air bag yellow light always says air bag is off no matter if there is a passenger setting in the seat or not ( please see pictures attached ) , which means it will not inflates in case of accident and will jeopardize and risk people life . i called toyota customer service couple of times and talked to managers there, and they couldn't care less about fixing the issue ,bottom line they said the car is out of warranty and its not their problem, they even refused to send me a written letter stating that, they said they will keep the voice records which i'm not sure if they kept or not, its very shameful and sad that toyota doesn't stand behind their products, especially on safety issues that could get people killed in case of accidents and the air bags not functioning properly . toyota incident# 190515-000353 should have the recordings for my conversations with toyota managers who couldn't be any ruder and inconsiderate for a major safety issues, keeping in mind all the recall they did for the airbags recently.

Takata recall and dras ii failure for as yet to be determined additional vins my friend and i were in the front driver side and front passenger side seats, buckled up, sitting in traffic stopped on the 5 freeway headed north. we were rear ended at a high rate of speed, at a slight angle to our bumpter, by a driver which resulted in the total decimation of their vehicle and substantial damage to our vehicle which manifested itself as rear bumper and rear under body damage, as well as crumpling of the rear driver and passenger side frame and quarterpanels, to our 2016 toyota camry. both the driver and i were thrown forward, and despite wearing our seatbelts i hit my head and knee on the passenger side dashboard area during the impact. no airbags inflated in the vehicle. upon examining the vehicle immediately after the incident, the driver console displayed red error lights indicating that airbags had been deployed despite none having done so. both the driver and i sustained serious and ongoing injuries as a result. the vehicle had approximately 27000 miles at the time of the incident. there are confirmed reports from toyota demonstrating that airbag sensors are prone to failing at the chip edge due to large internal tensile stress inconjunction with defects in the sensor causing it to delaminate.

I was in an auto accident on 4-3-2017. i was proceeding straight through an intersection on a green light when i was t-boned by another car. the impact was directly on the driver's door and the side airbag did not deploy. the impact was hard enough to total my car. the side airbag should have deployed.

Bought car new 03/16. involved in mva 06/01/16 where we were t-boned by a f150 truck at 30 mph. the truck peeled the body of car off the frame from where the passenger door hinge all the way down to the rear passenger door. damaging sensors that would have deployed side airbags. the door handle fell off, hinges had to be replaced, tail lights and head lights replaced, both passenger doors and tires replaced. why did the side airbags not deploy? toyota told me that since i had the occupant classification system fixed, they are not to be blamed. my child was in the front seat. even after all repairs to the car, while driving over 30 mph, there is a loud wind tunnel noise going through the car. *tr

Three weeks ago i purchased a camry xse. and, last thursday i read in the new york times that it may have defective air bags. isn't that a scam? the dealership even said that the airbag problem had been taken care of. i was already unhappy because in order to get "crash warning, blind side features" i had to take the most expensive model. isn't there any protection for buyers? i have friends who have waited for months to have their cars updated and now i may have been sold one that was sold knowingly defective. what help or advice can you give? thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
