1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/06/2020

Nothing happened yet, since I cannot know for sure if these are bad air bags since car was in accident and repaired with replacement air bags in past, so no way to find out unless Toyota pays to check them first and maybe replaced. Worried that replacement air bag are defective or dangerous no one is addressing this issue why??? my replacements need to be checked by serial number???.

I only had my 1999 Camry for 5 days. I was driving on the expressway doing about 35 mph. I was going around a slight curve when the wheel locked and I couldn't turn.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/30/2015

I was at a standstill and rearended by another driver going aproximately 50 mph and he did not brake. The seat belt did not engage nor did the airbags. Both cars totaled. Trunk hood popped, also rear panels bent. I sustained a head injury either on windshield or steering wheel . My firm belief is the seatbelt should have engaged and avoided the head injury.
