general problems of the 2005 Toyota Corolla - part 1

I was in the middle lane and a car came into my lane so I swerved and a car came up on me in the right lane and my car did a 360 and ended up in a ditch.

My son drove the car to the store less than 2 miles from the house and the airbag light came on and stayed while he was driving. He looked up the light in the owners manual and it said take vehicle to the Toyota dealer immediately! I know multiple cars we have owned in the past have had airbag recalls. I can not remember if this one has ever been recalled and repaired in the past. I attached the photos of the light and the manual.

The warning lamp for the airbag came on and it has been on for about two weeks now. No issues with the airbag, though. Have not been to a dealer or repair shop for check up. Have not been inspected by any agency.

The location of the collision sensors are positioned too low to allow consistent deployment of the airbags in the event of a collision with newer generation pickup trucks. The bumpers on the pickup trucks are too high, so a rear end collision results in the Toyota Corolla passing underneath the truck, and the air bag sensors do not sense the collision. The collision is only stopped when the windshield of the Toyota makes contact with the bumper, or the front of car impacts the axle of the pickup trucks.

My 2005 Toyota Corolla airbags have been recalled at least twice already(?) and I have been to the dealer at least twice, for airbag recall repairs. Guess what? the red dashboard airbag light came on again! I took the 2005 Corolla to the Toyota dealer and the dealer announced that I have to pay for the latest airbag warning ?? dashboard light problem. Since the airbag is an obvious “problem area” for Toyota, and I never have used the airbags…I feel this latest “airbag problem” should be fixed, by Toyota for free. Toyotas infamous and repeated “airbag problem’” has reappeared… yet again! I don’t have the exact date and time the airbag warning light reappeared (again) and there was never an accident where the airbags were deployed, or a certain speed at which the warning light suddenly comes on. The airbag warning light is on 99% of the time. I also don’t have the mileage at which the airbag warning light reappeared (again) but there is currently approximately 146,000 miles on the 2005 car. Since I have never used the 2005 Corollas airbag and Toyota has a systematic, widespread, & repeatedly fixed problem with this airbag, I wonder why should I have to pay for airbag repairs?.

My airbag light stays on and I heard if the air bag gis off it could have metal in it. . That don't sound like something I want to happen. . . Also this cars power go's out and back on its scary when your driving down the road. It only has 141k miles something is wrong. . .

I had the airbag repaired during the recall. However, the airbag warning light remains on. In addition, the speedometer has stopped at 299,999 although the trip meter still works. The paint is peeling and the roof is rusting which is classic for Toyota.

I took my vehicle to the shop on 3/31/21 as I received a recall notice for the airbags. I am currently trying to pass inspection for registration renewal but have several warning lights; one of them being the airbag system. Obviously the problem has not been fixed.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that the dealer previously replaced the passenger's side air bag under an unknown recall; however, the air bag warning light illuminated after the recall repair was performed. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that she needed to pay out-of-pocket for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I submitted my 2005 Toyota Corolla to priority Toyota in springfield, va where they replaced my airbag on 9/05/2019 per the initial recall notice. The airbag light subsequently came back on after installation. When I returned it to the same dealer, they told me it was not related to the recall and that I’d have to pay to get it fixed. I took my vehicle to another certified mechanic for a second opinion. That mechanic determined it is a defect in the recall replacement airbag mechanism installed or the installation itself and advises me to take it back to the recall servicer dealer. Priority of springfield has refused to honor the recall or acknowledge the defective equipment or improper installation on the 9/05/19 recall and remedy the defective recall equipment or service warranty they performed. The defective airbag replacement installed by the recall dealer priority of springfield is defective, inoperable and must be replaced or installation corrected or be provided new equipment and installation at no charge per the 11/15/19 safety recall e04 - for areas of high absolute humidity - update . I was told by NHTSA when I called to request my vehicle be added to the subsequent recall list for replacement again. It is not in the best interest of consumer safety that owners should be forced to bear the cost of replacing defective recall replacement airbags or re installation of recall replacement airbags improperly or negligently installed by authorized Toyota dealers. Additionally, my vehicle is subject to safety recall e04 - for areas of high absolute humidity - update published 11/15/2019 applicable to owners of vehicles originally sold in, or currently/previously registered in, areas of high absolute humidity, including alabama and georgia, both states in which my car was previously registered. I need NHTSA assistance in obtaining compliance by a local Toyota dealer in honoring this recall update pertinent to my vehicle. VIN 2t1br32e35c449940.

I am being told that my car is not drivable and that it can be repaired at no cost to me but I am being told that I must drive it to a Toyota dealership on a later date . Which basically means I have to risk my life until then . I am then being told I won't get a loan vehicle. And that I won't be reimbursed for the expense of bringing the car to the dealership . I am being forced to miss work because I don't have a vehicle now . Which is all costing me a lot of money for something that was supposed to be at no cost to me.

They said they had to order parts and would notify me when they received them. I checked back several times over the next month and was told they were on national back order.

Nhtsa recall no. 19v-741: I received a letter from Toyota regarding this recall. I'm attaching copies of the letter, on which I wrote notes of my conversations with Toyota and with the dealership. I highlighted in yellow some information I believe is relevant to my complaint. Hall Toyota of elizabeth city is the nearest dealership to me, and is almost 2 hours drive away (about 90 miles). The recall notice from Toyota states, "if you are uncomfortable driving the vehicle to the dealership, please contact your local authorized Toyota dealer who will arrange for vehicle pick up. " the dealership assigned me an advisor, russ, who said I needed to call Toyota to have them open a case and give me a case number. Russ said Toyota would then call the dealership and they would work out arrangements to pick up my vehicle. I called Toyota and spoke with someone named rafael, who gave me a case number (2002102338), but said the dealership was responsible for the towing charge. He said Toyota was not going to call the dealership, and that I needed to call the dealership to arrange towing. I called russ at the dealership, who said his supervisor was talking to Toyota and he would call me later. The next day, after not hearing back, I called russ, who said his supervisor had not yet heard back from Toyota, and the supervisor would call me when he had information from Toyota. Later that day russ called me to say Toyota agreed to cover $120 of the towing charge, which russ said would run around $500 to $550. The dealership would not pay the difference, so I would need to pay the rest myself. This seems contrary to what is stated in Toyota's letter. Rafael at Toyota stated they absolutely were not recommending I drive 2 hours to the dealership. I seem to be left with no good option. I'm obviously uncomfortable driving to the dealership, but I shouldn't need to pay $400+.

As I was pulling into a parking lot I began to step on the brakes and the car would not stop. I had no choice but to crash into a wall causing a major injuries to my body and car. The car would no longer start and I had to tow the car to my home until a mechanic came to start the car and we had noticed that when the car is in park it will keep going.

Engine may go dead usually on freeway speed.

Nothing happened when I notified my dealer in medford oregon last year. I called and asked to be notified when they received replacement airbags neccause when I called to get the recall taken care of, they said they were out of stock. . I have not heard back and am still waiting. Please ask the Toyota dealer to call me. 541-890-3249 within 6 months.

" yet when I called a nearby Toyota dealership to schedule an appointment, I was told that the part wouldn't be available for 6-8 weeks (eventually the person said she "observed that they arrived in 4 weeks").
