In March 2008, I was the 3rd car in a four car accident. When I was hit from the rear, I was pushed, extremely hard into the car in front of me. I lost conscientiousness when I hit the steering wheel. My air bags never deployed, nor did my seat belt lock up in order for me to avoid an injury. Should Toyota be recalling their 2006 Corollas for re-check and repair. Also, I understand the 2006 Toyota was recalled in 2007 for exterior lighting issues, I was never notified.

On 11/7/2006 I was involved in an accident where my vehicle 98 Toyota Corolla rear ended a cement truck. The speed at which my car was traveling was 25-35 mph. The air bags did not deploy, my seat belt did not lock and because of this my chest hit the steering wheel. I visited the urgent care the same day and as a result of the accident I suffered strained ligaments and muscles in my neck and back and a bruise and scrape on my chest. I am still suffering.

My car is a 1999 Toyota Corolla le. On October 27, 2005, the seat belt indicator light began flashing even though the driver seat belt appeared to be securely fastened. It has since been doing the same thing (now going on 11 days) and I am concerned that there is a safety issue with the seat belt. I don't know whether or not the seat belt will work properly in case of an accident. On November 4, 2005, I took the car to the Toyota dealer. I paid $85 for diagnostic testing and was told that the left front seat belt assembly (part# 73220 02030) needs to be replaced. I was told that this needs to be special ordered and that I will need to pay $120. 26 for the part plus another $85 for labor. The part will be ordered this week and installed as soon as it arrives. I also found a forum where another customer reported the exact same problem. Please see below. . . "I have a 98 chev prizm (same car as Corolla) and my seat belt reminder light keeps blinking even while the seat belt is on. I have tried extending the seat belt all the way out but the light keeps blinking continuously. I took the molding away from the seat belt winding mechanism and unplugged the electrical connection. The seat belt light stayed on even after unplugging the wires but the electrical plug seemed a little charred. I am taking the car to the garage to have a maintenance inspection so if I find out anything new I will post here. . Read more...

The seat belt in my 2003 Toyota Corolla le, purchased in April 2002 is locking me up in my driver seat at every, even very light deceleration of the car. I have to stop my car before the intersection, release the locked seat belt and follow slowly to the intersection line, being able to move in my seat and observe the intersection situation. If instead of observing the traffic I have to work with releasing my seat belt the situation impairs the safety of my driving.

The air bag and seat belt light illuminated on the dash board, also when a sudden stop was made, the seat belt did not restrain the consumer properly.

Son was involved in a one vehicle collision, at approx 65 mph, loss control of vehicle and hit a tree head on. The impact was dead center in the front bumper. Upon advice from police officer at scene, I contact Toyota to inform them that air bags did not deploy. Further informed Toyota rep. That my son had only minor injuries and there would be no law suit. According to mechanic, the seat belt is what saved him (imprint of restraint was across his chest), along with the vehicle absorbing the impact and crumpling where and how it was designed to. He also believes that air bags should have deployed. Received phone call from Toyota inspector (dwayne) and he informed me that there was no air bag malfunction. Said he inspected the electrical and everything was working fine. He never inspected vehicle per body shop. I requested a written report and was informed from Toyota inspector (dwayne) that they did not do that. On initial call to Toyota headquarters I was told that I would be given a written report.
