I was driving home on hamilton road, in columbus, ohio, at 535pm. I noticed that my headlights weren't on, when other drivers were trying to worn me. I set my headlights on automatic when I first received the car. I finally found the switch to turn my headlights on manually. Then my car started to brake 10-15 feet from the car in front of me, my tires were squealing. My foot was not on the brake pedal it was still on the accelerator. It was too late I hit the SUV in front me. My air bags didn't deploy. The accident avoidance system didn't activate until to late. It is clear that the car responded after the headlight switch was manually turned on instead of being in the auto position. It was suggested at a dealership earlier that cycling the navigation system on the car could inadvertently disarm it. If that were the case and it was off accidently why did the car try to brake at the last second on its own by turning on the headlight switch. This car was purchased for the driver for the very reasons of its safety features unfortunately this car completely failed to protect the driver. That is why I feel like this should be looked at immediately to see if this is a mechanical issue, program issue, or simply driver error, which I do not believe at this point. I have photos of vehicle and interior which I am unable to upload on this site, they are available upon request.

On my third clock switch in my steering column it is the device that feeds power to the air bag for the driver side air bag it seem that if the car detects a short or interruption in the electrical line it will light up the dash light . For me this has happen 3 time I am at 95,000. Mileage. Replacing the clock spring switch fixes it but the part is nether a switch or a spring go figure. Hope this helps.

Nothing yet but these recalls, one for the electric window master switch, well over a year old, and the other for the passenger side airbag, where I'm cautioned to not have passengers in that front seat, which is really inconvenient and means I don't have full use of my own automobile, has been out long enough that a fix is long overdue. Why the delay and why does the government do nothing for consumers who paid for these cars but with some not insignificant defects. I would like my car fixed, both the master switch for the windows and the passenger side airbag that could fail to deploy.

I have not yet had an incident. Based on Toyota recommendation, I do not allow anyone (including dogs, or heavy objects) to ride in the passenger front seat (or the back seat). My vehicle is still potentially dangerous for me, the driver. I would apply for an on/off switch for the airbags, but, it is not available for my car. I want that airbag DE-activated. I need to get to work, and, I can not afford to replace this unsafe vehicle. I have already been waiting almost 1 year for a fix to the exploding airbag. I am also waiting for the fix to the bad electronic unit that could fire the airbag. How do I get your permission to make my car safe for me to drive by DE-activating the passenger side airbag? I am already considering removing the passenger front seat, mounting it on the roof, and parking it in front of the local dealership with deathtrap painted all over it.

I was driving 30 mph when the vehicle in front of me, going 30 mph as well, suddenly switches onto the left lane without using their turning signals in effort to avoid the parked car in front of them, leaving me little time to brake before crashing into the car. I drive a Toyota Corolla 2005 and the hood was completely bent forward along with the front sides making it hard to open the front doors, cracked head lights, bumper slightly detached, and a broken radiator. The air bags did not launch at all even though the impact required it. I was driving with a passenger who hurt their knee and I'm dealing with neck and back problems.

Flashing air bag light - I purchased a 1998 Toyota corlooa in July 1998. Begining in sept of 98 I began taking it to the dealership about the flashing air bag light. It was taken on 9/29/98, 8/18/99, 8/15/00, 8/14/01. The last visit the light started blinking before I left the parking lot. I had to pull it back in the bay for them to re-fix it. I was told each time I took it in that the air bags were functional even if the light was flashing. I took the car back last month and was told that there was a parts bulletin issure by Toyota back in 1999 that required Toyota dealerships to install a wire harness on these wires in order to make them stop blinking. This was never done on my car even though all four times I took it in it was still under warrenty. Now they want to charge me $200. 00 to do this. I was also told at this time that the air bags are not functional when the light is flashing.
