Takata recall. Where to start. I received a letter in June 2015 about the recall. In December 2015 I filed a complaint with you because nothing was being done. Still nothing. In may 2016 my daughter received a letter also for the takata recall on her yaris with a letter saying not to let anyone ride in her front seat. Seriously? I was not told this. I could have killed someone or seriously injured them. (my daughter needs a rental btw because I doint want her driving her car till it is safe) when my dad found out he went to Toyota and guess what? suddenly they had the part for my car and ordered my daughters. They put it in yesterday. When I went to get my car I was informed that my passenger air bag light was on and that it needed a spiral assembly. For 476. 00. Right. They said it was not related or covered. I found a web page with sixty three people who had the exact same thing happen to them. Now both my airbag lights are on and my clock does not work. I dont have the money to fix this. It is causing me extreme stress as I take care of my elderly mom and my grand daughter. I believe it is related. God only knows how many others this hhas happened to. It can not be a coincidence. I feel another recall needs to be done as the did do one in canada but on adifferent model car. Cant remember. . . #nomoretoyotas.

The air bag light is on and will not go off. The media says that my model year is in the takata recall and my model is in the Toyota recall but only in the "high humidity region". I contacted a dealership and they said they couldn't do anything until Toyota caught up entering in the VIN numbers for the model years that were added to the recall. This is not safe, this is a malfunctioning part and this needs to be remedied.

I was driving at highway speed and my air bag light came on. It stay on constantly.

The airbag light comes on soon after starting and driving. It appears to come on when the clock quits working also.

Air bag (srs) started going on and off intermittently, then clock went on and off intermittently. Now clock rarely comes on. The ignition must be turned on and off several times to get the air bag light to go off. The vehicle was taken to a Toyota carmax dealer in laurel, MD. The rep said there was probably something under the seat, and found an empty water bottle. When the car was turned on, the light was gone, and he pronounced the car fixed. Two days later it came on again and has continued to come on and off randomly. The item under the seat story is bogus and only works because the ignition is turned on and off, not because items are under the seat. This is an obvious safety issue that needs to be fixed by Toyota. I am now reading many many other people have the same problem and Toyota will not recognize the issue.

The airbag light is always on in the 2005 Toyota Matrix . This is due to the spiral cable malfunction and there is no recall for this issue from Toyota. With this lights on the airbag wont get deployed if there is a front end collision and its a security issue.

I already turned in an incident but did not get an e-mail or any reply back so am doing it again to make sure. My air bag light has been going on intermittently for 1. 5 years. I was told by Toyota that it would cost $180 to diagnose the problem and was never told that when my air bag light was on that my air bag would not go off. I recently found this out so had it checked out. Turns out it is a faulty clock. Toyota has the clock as an integral part of their air bags. I can't believe that they put my family at risk because of a clock. It cost me $560 to fix as well. There was never any assistance on Toyota's part to assist me, lower the cost. My clock by the way works perfectly fine and it took them 1. 5 hours to diagnose the problem.

Airbag light drivers side stays on.

Air bag light comes on/off at diffrent times. I called Toyota 1-800-331-4331 customer service on 8/8/13. Was told my air bag warrenty was 5 yrs 60,000 miles. I then had 80,000 miles on the car. I now have 120,000 air bag light still comes on. I called my local Toyota dealer they said bring in would cost me 85 dollars to be diagnosed. I feel I shouldnt have to pay for the air bag I cannot control anything about it-there should be no 5 yr 60,000 miles warrenty on something I cannot change. Also my clock if barly viewable on my dash. I refuse to pay. I was told no other complaints about this issue have been reported. But I see by this site that it has been reported numerous times.

Airbag light is on all of the time. All 2005 Matrix seem to have the same problem. This means that in an accident no airbags. The cure for the problem is replacement of the- spiral cable clock spring.

Toyota Matrix RX 2005. Started car, driver air bag light failed to extinguish. Shut off ignition. Restarted engine, light went out. Since 6/3/2013 the driver air bag light has been intermittent, staying on about half the time I start the car. Often it takes 3 to 4 restarts to finally get the light to stay off. Occasionally the driver air bag light will come on while driving. I pull over when I can and go through the restart procedure. Otherwise while light is on the driver air bag is disabled. That could certainly be a deadly proposition. Several times I have visited Toyota service departments to be told, "something is loose", or "can't find a problem. " today, 6/17/2015, I drove to my local Toyota service department for the passenger air bag recall service. When I started the car the driver air bag light came on. I drove to the Toyota service dept, about 10 miles, left engine running until the service writer could verify that the light was on. I asked that they check the driver air bag system because the light came on intermittently. Approximately 15 min later the asst service mgr called me stated there was no problem with the driver air bag. I told him the writer verified the light was on and requested they do a diagnostic on the driver air bag system. $98. 55 later the problem was stated to be in the digital clock in the dash. Toyota quoted $506. 59 to replace the digital clock in my car to make the driver air bag function, so I wouldn't die in a crash!!! this just doesn't sound right that a life saving system should depend on a "cheap" digital clock to function correctly at any moment without peripheral equipment getting in the way. This should be a safety recall item.

Recently my air bag light started coming on intermittently. After searching Toyota/matrix forums, I have found the 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix has had numerous complaints regarding the air bag system. It is common for the clock to stop working, which cases the air bags to stop functioning properly. This also seems to be a common problem with the 2003-2008 corolla. I don't mind that my clock doesn't work; however, it is a safety issue if it is the cause of the air bag malfunction and Toyota should rectify the problem.

This is going to be the third time I have brought my vehicle back to boch Toyota norwood MA. The airbag light is on they reset few days later came back on brought vehicle back October 5, 2011 reset again. I brought the vehicle back on October 13,2011 thet told me that it could be the computer, wiring or the airbag assembly. I feel that there should be a recall correcting this situation.

Driver-side air bag warning indicator is intermittent sometimes on , sometimes off. This seemed to start after the 3-yr warranty expired. Back then, I mentioned it to a dealer while in for a separate recall repair and the dealer suggested maybe I had stuff under or on the passenger side chair which could trigger the indicator. I never paid for them to check the car. Indicator goes on/off regardless of passenger/objects on the seat. Both front seats do not have stuff beneath them. More recently, clock illumination fades in and out, mostly out. This seemed to start no more than 3 yrs ago. Car has still has original airbags and clock. I'm afraid that my air bags won't deploy during an accident. I'm angry that my car wasn't included in the recent recalls.

My air bag light came on two years after I bought the car and stays on. With so many recalls on defective takata airbags that were installed on many vehicles including Toyota, I suspect that my vehicle is one of them. I have been patiently waiting for a rcall notice from the Toyota manufacturer, so they can fix it, but so far, nothing can somebody in your office help to resolve this problem. I do not want to find out if this air bag works or not and get seriously hurt me and my family, god forbid, I get into an accident. Any help you can provide me is better than none, so please help! thanks!.
