I do not know the exact date or mileage because I just discovered this site but my dealer would know. My airbag sensor light randomly comes on and stays on for several days to a week. I had dealer look at it and they said there was no problem. . . . Just a faulty light or something and nothing needed to be fixed. Also, clock now works off and on. I am concerned because after reading information at other sites, the information says that the airbags will not work if the sensor light is on. I have also read that the airbag sensor light and the clock are connected. I do not want to spend over $400 to replace a clock but it's a whole other story if my airbags will not work without a functioning clock that doesn't mess up the airbag sensor. I don't even know who to ask since the dealer doesn't seems to realize this either.

I was involved in an accident where a driver t-boned my vehicle on the drivers side,the drivers side door took the worst damage along with the roof molding,fender and quarter panel,state farm declared the car a total. I called Toyota and open a case because the air bag sensor number 3 in the owners manual in the drivers side door did not deploy,I sent Toyota 12 pictures with the damage and the door was the worse,the rep assigned to my case was in complete denial and said that sensor would not have deployed the airbag even if I were killed! he just washed his hands with my case and ran me around about the door sensor and why is it there if it doesn't work is my question. Should I seek legal council or just let Toyota off the hook? don't think its fair to us consumers.

Ltr fwd fm (ne) re unintended sudden acceleration from owner of a 2009 Toyota Matrix involved in an auto accident on 1/13/2010, reply to omaha, ne ofc. The consumer stated he rear ended another vehicle while attempting to brake, but instead the vehicle continued to accelerate. The consumer stated the police did not write up police report. The consumer also stated the air bags failed to deploy. Upon inspection, it was determined the air bag sensors were fried, probably well before the accident.

I own a 2005 Toyota Matrix and my airbag sensor is on. I have talked to and read about this brand car and that year car all have the same complaint. Why has this never been recalled? I have taken it to a mechanic but he said this is a complaint that everyone with the Matrix and the year 2005 have. You can find more about this by reading the internet under Toyota Matrix 2005. Thank you. Updated 05/12/11.
