Two problems related to air bag light on have been reported for the 1996 Toyota Camry. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2001

My airbags deployed for no apparent reason while I was driving, with a passenger, approximately 25 mph, on a slight incline on a back country road, in the mid afternoon. I notified Toyota santa cruz, where I had purchased the Camry new in 1996, and they essentially did nothing. I notified Toyota's regional office and I met with an agent from there who inspected my car at Toyota santa cruz. He found evidence a rock had hit a stabilizing bar underneath. I reported having not seen or hit a rock on the day of the incident. I was told to await Toyota's decision in the mail within 10 days. They concluded my air bags had deployed appropriately. My witness and I wrote back to the legal department, where we had been referred, disputing their conclusion twice, and both times the response was that their conclusion was final. I am confined to only being able to communicate with the legal department by mail. Meanwhile, I am driving with no airbags now for close to 2 years. Toyota has prompted me to get my air bag light fixed since the deployment, but that is all. And my horn doesn't work normally now that the vinyl is ripped open in the center of the steering wheel. I intentionally bought the Camry for it's safety record. I am in disbelief that Toyota cares so little for safety. Please, please help me.
