The dash light indicating a problem with my air bag is on. Toyota states that a safety recall is pending that might affect my car. Until then, they are unable or unwilling to repair my car. They state that the airbag may go off on it's own. They cannot tell me how long it may be before the recall is announced. This seems highly dangerous to me.
I was driving home from working 12 hour graveyard shift. I fell asleep at the wheel and ran off the right hand side of our blacktop road 1 mile from home. My 2002 Corolla was travelling around 50mph I awoke and attempted to correct the car's path and hit a tree head on destroying the right grill bumper hood, windshield, right fender, inner upper frame work and headlamp assembly and wiring. My dash light came on that said my airbag deployed. My steering wheel airbag was still intact it failed to deploy or inflate. I was saved by god and my seat belt.
The contact owns a 2002 Toyota Corolla. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v043000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Toyota told us not to put anyone in passenger side because airbag is dangerous. We have four adults in our family and need to use the passenger front seat. Toyota (johnson city TN) say they have no idea when they can fix the air bag because they have no idea when parts will be available. "it could be months". We need to have it fixed soon.
Driving on interstate 5 at 60 mile per hour hitting pickup truck from the back the declare a total lost airbag didn't open.
Dear sir/madam, this is to notify you that Thursday, 12 August, my mother, a friend and I were involved in a fatal accident while my mother was driving a Toyota Corolla s 2002. The accident left my mother in a deep fright and with injuries on her face, as she hit the steering wheel. She is prescribed to go to therapy for over a month to overcome the catastrophe. I, now, suffer from minor back problems caused due to the accident. The accident occurred on one of the most eventful highways of georgia, highway us 78. Our car, traveling on the middle lane, was hit by an isuzu SUV rodeo, and after rotating about 180 degrees stopped on the middle of the highway. The entire front bumper fell apart, and the car was beyond recognition from the front. Yesterday, we heard from the repair shop and their assessment was that car is totaled. Most shocking part of the event is that the air bags didnt activate even after such a strong impact of SUV coming at around 65 miles an hour speed and hit our Toyota Corolla (2002) from front. Whereas, the air-bags of the rodeo did not fail to inflate. I reported this incident directly to Toyota immediately after the accident. It has been over a week now and I have not recieved any calls or e-mails from their part. I sincerely hope you will please look into the matter and keep me informed. Your cooperation is highly anticipated and appreciated in advance. I look forward to to hear from you a. S. A. P. Sincerely, shubham sharma, 5275 lakebrooke run, stone mountain, GA, 30087 phone number: 770-469-8382 404-717-5865.
