Air Bag Light On problems of the 2003 Toyota Avalon

Tl the contact owns a 2003 Toyota Avalon. The contact stated that the air bag indicator illuminated. The contact called a local dealer (pueblo Toyota, 2220 u s 50 w, pueblo, CO 81008) where it was diagnosed that the driver's seat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and did not assist. The failure mileage was 174,457.

Air bag indicator and seat belt not on indicators keep coming on intermittently. Dealer can't do anything about it unless these indicator comes on when they do the test drive. So it's not always reproducible by the dealership.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2003 Toyota Avalon. While driving approximately 20 mph, the air bag warning indicator illuminated and the front driver and passenger side air bags deployed and caused the vehicle to run over a curb. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. The vehicle was later towed to the dealer, but was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and their legal department wrote to the contact, stating that the failure was not recall related. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v043000 (air bags). The failure mileage was 136,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Takata recall - I received a recall notice approximately a year ago and have called my dealer and Toyota. They inform me that parts are not available. The airbag light has come on and off several times, but hasn't stayed on. I am concerned about driving the vehicle and having an accident and/or injury due to this problem. I was driving the vehicle on the interstate at the time. This recall concerns the supplemental restraint system electronic control module.

My Avalon is part of NHTSA recall campaign 15v043 -- the second recall campaign because the first was a total failure. The second recall remedy is apparently "in process" -- where it has been since my vehicle first failed in 2011. The airbag light continues to intermittently activate while driving, suggesting that the airbag may not inflate in a crash. Why is NHTSA such a spineless weakling? NHTSA, fulfill your mandate to protect my family! you are the government agency. Therefore, stop pandering to Toyota and force a remedy now. Perhaps Toyota doesn't have the engineering resources to resolve this problem in four years time?.

Rec'd both notifications last year, but this exceeds reasonable amount of time waiting for a fix. One day last spring (2015) I had just started the car while in my driveway. The airbag indicator lite stayed on longer than usual. Also, my seat belt tightened up on me by itself while driving in town. I also smelled hot wires another time. I called Toyota several times and was told the part is unavailable, though I explained my issues. I requested the airbag be disconnected which they refused to do. I called Toyota again on 2/22/16. They said the part is in, but the manager of the dealership (Toyota) states they won't replace it in my vehicle unless the airbag light is on. Does that mean I will have fair warning? does that mean I will have to drive a dangerous vehicle about 50+ miles to the nearest dealer to have it fixed at that time? this is nuts! I am angry! I will be calling the federal trade commission next, which traffic safety referred me to. I still owe $4,400 on my car and will be unable to trade it in without the recall being completed.

Airbag lights blink. Brought the car in to two Toyota dealers and they said that there is a recall on this item however they do not have the parts to fix the problem. Car was in shop for over a week till I finally got tired of the stalling tactic. It appears that Toyota is not complying with their agreement to fix the problem. In a different dealership they said they do have the parts but have no available appointments for quite some time. Am getting very concerned that this dangerous situation is not being handled properly and responsibly.

We took our vehicle to mann Toyota in prestonsburg, ky for a recall repair to the air bag system. The problem is much worse now after they said they replaced the wiring harness. The air bag light is coming on much more frequently now. Now they are saying we have to pay them to get a scan on the vehicle.

We own a 2003 Toyota Avalon. We received the safety recall notice regarding the supplemental restraint system (srs) electronic control unit (ecu) for this vehicle in March of 2014. The red airbag light in the dash has been on, making the vehicle unsafe to operate. Since this involves the very safety and well-being of my family, we called the local west covina dealer, at least four (4) times and made at least one (1) drive-in visit, to get this matter resolved. Each time we were told there was no ¿ srs ecu ¿ replacement part available. On our last attempt to reach out to them, we left a message for the service advisor at the west covina Toyota location and was not even given the courtesy of a return phone call. We are thoroughly disappointed and frustrated! since this places our family at great risk of harm and endangers their well-being, out of desperation, we are reaching out to you. It has now been over two (2) years since receipt of the initial safety recall notice. Surely, this is sufficient time to be able to rectify the problem! please feel free to contact via email at either jafeyka@yahoo. Com or jsfeyka@yahoo. Com to discuss this matter. Or, you may reach out to us by phone at 626-917-1523(h) or 626-253-3087(c). It is my hope that your assistance will provide the impetus needed to resolve this matter. Sincerely yours, john and judy feyka.

I was a mile from home when I noticed that my air bag light had just come on. Next thing I know I hear a sound like a gun shot and the steering wheel airbag deployed - while I was driving. (it was not caused by an impact and I had not hit a pothole. ) the airbag did not hit my face so there was no injury, and I was able to pull over into a turn lane to call roadside assistance.
