The contact's client owned a 2005 Toyota Matrix. The contact stated that while her client was driving at approximately 35 mph, he crashed into another vehicle that had merged into his lane of traffic. The air bags deployed upon impact. Her client claimed that shrapnel was released from the one of the air bags upon deployment; however, the claim had yet to be verified by the contact. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that the vehicle was currently under NHTSA campaign number: 18v025000(air bags) which she linked to the failure. The contact sought medical treatment at the hospital for a severe burn to an arm (arm unknown) as a result of the air bag deployment. He was also treated for pain to his neck, back and both knees. The whereabouts of the other driver were unknown. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed from the scene to an unknown facility. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had been destroyed as a result of the crash. The failure mileage was unknown.
These 3 things may be related to each other because they all are connected to the steering wheel. My car can be scheduled for an inspection regarding these safety problems. 1. The airbag warning light is sometimes on when I drive the car. I'm worried it won't work if I'm in a wreck. 2. The horn doesn't work when I press on the part of the steering wheel that should make it work. It does make a loud sound when I press the panic button on my key fob, but only when the car is turned off. I had to stick my head out of the window and yell at a driver who was getting close to hitting my car in a parking lot. I was parked, and they were backing out of their parking stall. They stopped inches away from my car. 3. The cruise control does not work in the car. I think by using this feature, and maintaining a steady speed, it reduces the chances of accidents. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? see answers #1, 2 and 3 above. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed? #1. No. A dealer told me it would cost me $100 to have them check the airbag light. #2. The horn was checked by an independent service center. #3. No. Has it been inspected? #1. This car has been serviced two different times for recalls for the airbag not working correctly. I wonder if the horn and cruise control wires were damaged, or not put back together correctly, when the recall work was being done, while owned by my sister-in-law. #2. No. #3. No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? #1. The warning lamp for the airbag started coming on around August 15, 2024. #2. No. It didn't work on February 11, 2023 - when I bought the car. #3. No. It didn't work on February 11, 2023.
I took my vehicle for the airbag recall. When the technician gave me my car back I noticed the airbag warning light was still on. The technician said the warning airbag light is something else but he could not say what. Please add additional recalls to fix passenger airbag. But he said “the light was on before the recall” and I would have to pay to find out what the warning is for. I waited 2 hours for the recall work to be finished and when I entered my car the warning light was still on. This vehicle has not been in an accident. This situation I read in the reviews online is happening to this car and many complaints. I feel unsafe and I think all possible recalls should be put in place for this to be taken care of by Toyota. It is dangerous and it is a liability. Please help me get this resolved with autonation Toyota in winter park. 407-415-5688 thank you.
Received recall notice from Toyota. Called local dealership where purchased - they took info and stated they would get parts and call to schedule. They never called back. We called Toyota customer experience center to inform we were not getting our recall service. They stated they would contact the dealership to have them call within one business day to initiate service. No one called. I called Toyota again, they put me on hold and after 12 minutes on hold I gave up. Toyota is not following through on this recall service which is a deadly condition.
I've been calling and nobody's answering and nobody's calling back.
Their is an airbag recall that has been outstanding for some time but has not yet been remedied.
I have already had my Matrix recalled for airbags and "fixed" - now another recall. The position taken by Toyota is it will be fixed soon. I know it's been over a year soon for this 2nd recall and Toyota's approach is not to let anyone ride in the passenger seat! really!! I should have the right to use my own car!! I think I should be able to get my money back or at least a portion of it back. Toyota has put greed before the consumer. I want something down and done now! I am tired of waiting for something to be down about this. I will not buy another Toyota. I was upset by the first recall and having to take time away from my home and job to have it fixed and now to have another recall and am told not to let anyone sit in the passenger seat!.
I just spoke with Toyota regarding the remedy for the airbag recall problem. I was informed that I will be receiving a letter soon that states that they still don't have a remedy for this problem. How long can they get away with potentially endangering my passenger by not repairing this problem?.

Takata recall - in June 2015, I was notified by Toyota that my Matrix had been added to the list of vehicles affected by the takata recall and that I should contact my local dealer to set up repairs. When I called I was told that I would be contacted again once the parts were available. I have now received the notification that parts are available, nearly 10 months after the initial notification. What troubles me is that in the latest letter it states " until this remedy is performed, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. " why didn't they mention this before? why didn't they provide the repairs sooner? what if I had been in an accident with someone in the front passenger seat, they might have been severely injured or possibly killed. Why are these large companies allowed to put others at risk simply by performing some sort of failure analysis when peoples lives are at risk.
Recall has not been fixed.
Takata recall. The Toyota website says replacement parts are "currently available. " the dealer told me I'd have to wait one to three weeks because the parts are on back-order.

Takata recall - received recall notice in spring '15, never received update on remedy. Checked with dealer in oct. '15, told parts still not available. Called dealer today (Jan. 9, 2016), was given no information. Called Toyota national office, told parts were ready in December for remedy. National office called my dealer (continental Toyota, countryside, IL, 708-354-5800) to make appointment for remedy. In recall notice, it states to contact you if Toyota has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time.

Finally have appointment for Monday, Jan. 11, 2016.
