Four problems related to air bag have been reported for the 1998 Toyota Camry. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Today my wife was stopped in a parking lot driveway waiting for traffic to clear when 2 cars crashed into the front end of the our Camry. It broke the front bumper open and the styrofoam support inside. The impact did not set off the airbag and it is within the front end range of impact.
My mother just had an accident this morning and from her describing that 98 Toyota Camry was out of control and break seemed not working at all. So I started looking for vehicle recalls and defects then I realized this accident my mother had could be caused by defects. If you just look, you could easily find many others complaints. She was driving at 55 mph and trying to change lane then next thing she know was car started to swerving so she tried to regain control then hit the break which did not function. I will have to look for legal advise within next couple of days and see what they say. By the way air bags were not activated. Please let me know if there was any lawsuit or compensation for this kind of fatal accident. Thank you.
While traveling at 40 to 55 mph consumer lost control of the vehicle and hit a tree. Upon impact none of the airbags deployed. The driver suffered a fractured left shoulder, minor injuries on the left side of his head and bruising to his left hip. The consumer believes that an antilock brake failure may have also contributed to the accident.
Brakes fail during rainy weather while attempting to stop causing consumer to rear end another vehicle. No deployment of airbag during accident. Yh.
