Seat Belt Problems of Toyota Corolla - part 1

I purchased this vehicle in November 2024 from a dealership. On July 8, 2025, I was involved in a crash where the airbag failed to deploy. After the accident, I learned there was an active recall from 2020 (NHTSA recall no. 20v024) related to the airbag control system. The recall had not been repaired, and I was never informed of it when I bought the car. This defect may have worsened my injuries and left me completely unprotected during the crash.

I was restrained but the right side of my forehead hit the rearview mirror . Causing two huge knots on my head. My eye glasses also smashed into my right eye and I had a cut above my eye . I was thrown to the right passenger seat area , my right hip hit the gear shift and my knees and hip , were bruised. Apparently the seatbelt failed as well , but my main complaint is that the airbags failed to deploy. I suffered damage strain and bruising to both hands, the left was worse , I was made to wear a brace . I was taken to the er via ambulance . One of the officers assumed I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt , which was not true at all . He thought I hit the windshield but I did not , it was the mirror . I have proof , photos and all emt and er records report that I was restrained . A paramedic helped me remove the seatbelt to exit my car . I feel I wouldn't have suffered the head, eye and other injuries if the airbag had deployed.

At 4 years and 1/2 old car 2020 Corolla xse an engine maintenance required see dealer light turned on. Did diagnostic with obd 2 scanner at two locations auto body shop and uto zone. Nothing appears. It is in fact a needed future recall since thousands if not more people have encountered the same. It is a coolant by pass valbe. Cost is only $99. 53 + tax at dealer. Problem is that should be under warranty or extended warranty or recall. Dealer likes to charge $800 (180-200 for diagnostic, $110 part, $400 labor. Part only takes 30 minutes to install. I should be able to buy at dealer for $110 and have them install for free or pay 30 minutes of work time = $85. 1 hour is about $175. So instead of trying to be billed $800 I should only be billed for $85 labor (30 minutes) + $110 part = brand total of $105 usd.

I have repaired all the safety recalls on my 2004 Toyota Corolla s. However, I just had another warning signal for the seatbelt/airbag today. Since this has been a recall previously, can I have the dealer look at the car and repair again? I wouldn't think the airbags/seatbelt warning would come back so fast after being repaired for the recall. Please advise. Thank you.

Seat belts front driver side: seat belt buckle won't engage and fails to go in for multiple attempts and has to be slammed into the seat belt to actually work. Front passenger side: seat belt buckle will not disengage when the button is pressed and has to be squished down as hard as a average man can do, my girlfriend doesn't have enough strength to press it down. I fear that if I get into an accident that the driver side wont be secured all the way and the passenger side will fail to disengage and cause my passengers to get stuck in the car body front driver side: the bumper in the front driver side continuously pops out, car has not been in an accident nor has anything collided with the front, I fear that it can go into the wheel well and cause my car to crash. The car is quiet low in the front but barely scrapes when you go over a big dip, but I have watched my buddys do this and their bumpers dont fall out.

I have brought my car to Toyota of new orleans (the same place I bought it) regarding an issue where if my kids are in the backseat unbuckled the seat belt alert does not ring to indicate that the seatbelts are not hooked also if I undo the seatbelt while driving it does not alert either. Also, when I am driving and nobody is in the backseat, and nothing is on the seats etc. The seat belt alert will begin to ring. I have record this on my phone and showed Toyota they have checked my care twice and I let if at the dealership for 3 days and they cannot duplicate the problem I explained it happens at different times however they said they see the video but can't get it to do it at the shop. So now I am stuck with a car that is a safety concern for me and my children.

When I told her I just wanted the airbags fixed she told me the car was ready and I could come and pick it up. When I got there to pick it up the airbag light was still on as if nothing was done to fix the problem. When I told her that they did not fix the car that the airbag light was still on.

And that they are only required to replace the airbag. I responded with "that was not was I was informed.

" he said I was informed wrong especially if I got the information off the internet. In other words, he was telling me that it was too much work for them to repair for free. So what do I do now, am I suppose to continue to drive in an unsafe car I feel like because I was not willing to pay for the services that to be repaired then they were not going to do anything at all. That tells me that they are price gouging and doing illegal business practices and something needs to be done immediately .
