Takata airbag recall my 1998 Toyota Corolla is listed as one of the cars effected by the takata airbag recall. Today I noted a blinking light on my dash board for the airbag. Please advise.
Air bag warning kept flashing that the air bags needed to be serviced. We took car to dealer, it was not under warranty, dealer said we would have to "repair it ourselves" if we could find a console that would repair it and he thought there was only one in the united states for approximately $2000. We wrote to Toyota who eventually wrote back to us stating that Toyota would not repair this car and had no intention of recalling this car due to this issue and we would have to repair this car ourselves at the dealer location. Now we see in the news that Toyota is recalling 1. 3 million other cars for what appears to be the same issue--the control of the air bags. Dealer told us he did not know how this would affect if the air bags would go off in an accident or not in the future or any other time. The console constantly shows that a door is open and that the air bag needs to be serviced and there is nothing we can do about it except to hope it will react properly.
This is referencing a previously filed complaint, #10118167. Dealer offered to make a goodwill repair at its his cost because there was a safety issue involved, wiring harness for airbag system. I am pleasantly surprised, and want to make sure dealer gets credit for doing this!.
I own a 1998 Toyota Corolla. In August 2004, the airbag went defective. An authorized Toyota dealership in NJ ordered a replacement central airbag assembly and the airbag was replaced on Sep 1, 2004. However after a few months, the same airbag problem reoccured and I took it to the dealership. After many attempts to identify the problem, the dealership finally concluded that the entire airbag circuitry was defective. Since they quoted me an exhorbitant price, I took the car to another authorized Toyota dealership. This second dealership after a few attempts, identified that the same central airbag assembly that was replaced in Sep 1, 2004 was defective. They ordered a second replacement and fitted my car with the new part. This happened in Nov 2006. However 2 months after the airbag replacement,in Feb 2007 the same airbag problem reoccured for a 3rd time. I contacted Toyota motor sales USA, inc at 1901 south western avenue - wc 10, torrance, CA 90501 to explain the problem with my car. I sent them all the supporting documentation. However inspite of explaining the threat to my life caused by the defective airbag, Toyota has not come forward to address the problem. I have spent close to $1500 on the problem already over the course of 3 years. Even though the car is a 1998 make, the airbags were replaced in Sep 2004 and Nov 2006 and are still under warranty. I request you to instruct Toyota to repair the airbag at no extra cost to me. Toyota's reference number for my case is 200706250076.
