Eight problems related to side/window air bag have been reported for the 1999 Toyota Camry. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Airbag warning light flashes for passager side airbags. If you jiggle wiring under seat often the next time you start car light will be off.
After being struck on the side by a vehicle traveling approximately 45 mph the side impact air bag came out to the size of a small balloon, it did not deploy to full size. The vehicle was a total loss. .
(1) the vehicle I was driving in was proceeding to make a left turn on a green traffic signal when other vehicle failed to obey red traffic signal thus striking my vehicle between the driver's side front and driver's side rear doors ("b" pillar). (2) side airbag did not inflate contributing to more serious injuries sustained. (3) vehicle was totaled by insurance company. Could not find contact information on manufacturer to make notifcation of defect.
Passenger air bag warning light comes on frequently. Within the first year, the air bag light came on and stayed on. The dealership indicated that there was a failure with the airbag assembly and replaced the entire passenger seat and assembly. Since then, the light just comes on randomly and stays on until I take it to a dealership. Each time, they fix "something". Several of the times, they have told me that the wires underneath the seat come disconnected over time. They then proceed to "fix" it. However, it seems to happen again within several months. One time, they said it was a loose connector from the steering. All times, the dealership has fixed this without charging me. This last time, the dealership told me that the problem was the loose cable under the seat again, but because the prior problem was not this same thing (e. G. The steering connection), it was not covered under warrantly and I would have to pay $200 to have it fixed. I am very dissapointed. This is obvioulsy a recurring issue. And I'm not the only one having these kings of problems. When will their be a recall of this? it is clearly a safety issue. The dealer is obviously not able to permanently fix this problem (after 6 trys, you'd think they would figure it out). I don't want to have to pay every time I need it fixed.
