2 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2005 Toyota Prius

Failure Date: 03/01/2020

When I go to hit the brakes the car won't stop and the rear end makes noise and raises up. The abs and brake lights are one as well as maintenance required and srs airbag light. The master alarm buzzer is on and won't go off. Brakes engaged without hitting the brake causes rim to overheat and brake fluid gets extremely hot. Also sometimes when tap on the brakes they will lock up and you will go sliding sideways or tap the brakes and they straight to the floor. Also the brake actuator starts whining noise and won't go off even if the car is turned off. Don't have documentation from a mechanic but can send video of driving it.

Takara recall - currently have an airbag light onon my instrument cluster. Brake actuator recall - the �brake� light, vsc, abs, and brake symbol lights are all on indicating an issue with the brake actuator. I did receive a recall notice about this issue in the past, but the recall said if I wasn't experiencing any issues to ignore the recall. That recall expired on December 31, 2017. As this affects the safe operation of the car, I feel this should be addressed by Toyota as well as the air bag issue.

9 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2008 Toyota Prius

Failure Date: 02/20/2017

The vehicle combination meter sporadically will not turn on which prevents the display of the speed of the car. During this condition, the fuel economy will not display, the car may not be powered off by normal procedure, and the fuel gauge, drive train mode indicator, and odometer are not visible. This has occurred for the past 2 years, primarily during cold weather, but also during warm weather, and I have a video recording of this problem while operating this specific vehicle dated February 20 2017. Toyota will not honor their own warranty extension described in their document pol12-05, related to TSB t-sb-0172-09, stating that the dealer must be able to reproduce the issue in order to cover the replacement. Toyota's document pol12-05 specifically states "this condition is primarily found in cold weather climate conditions. When the vehicle is brought to your dealership it may no longer be in a climate which allows duplication of the condition. If this occurs, please verify with the customer that the experienced condition is in accordance with this warranty extension and proceed with replacement of the combination meter. " on 5/12/2017, andrea n. (would not provide last name) with Toyota customer experience center, assigned me Toyota case # 1705121649 and stated that "the dealer must reproduce the issue in order to cover replacement under warranty" despite the Toyota letter explicitly allowing for warranty replacement when the condition cannot be reproduced by the dealer.

10 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2008 Toyota Prius

Failure Date: 01/04/2016

Passenger side airbag light shows off when passenger is riding in passenger seat. Precision Toyota told me the weight limit is 80 pounds to turn on the airbag. My wife is between 90 and 95 pounds and sometimes the airbag will say on and other times it will say off. I had a 2015 Prius v for the last week and it has the same problem with the passenger airbag not turning on when my wife is present. This is a safety issue, because if something was to happen, then the passenger will be dead because the airbag did not work. When I went to pick up the car, one of the manager told me the airbag will not be active until the passenger is 150 pounds or more. Two people in the same dealership gave me different number for when the airbag will actually work and save the passengers life. I believe this is a design problem that has been around since 2008 and is still the same in the 2015 Prius v model that I had this past week. Please review and let me know what I can do to help you to get Toyota to fix this design problem with the passenger side airbag not being turned on when somebody is in the passenger seat. Thanks glen broderick, email: reidbroderick@gmail. Com cell phone 520-471-0708. Every time we drive around town, passenger airbag will be on sometimes and off other times. This is always happening when the vehicle is in motion on city streets and highways. This has been happening for years. Toyota wanted $ 129. 00 to test. They did test and said that it is working per design. This design needs to be changed.

Airbag light turned on and was diagnosed as 'faulty air bag on driver side due to wiring harness issue'. I did not expect to pay for this repair as airbags are federally regulated 'safety' items.

I would appreciate any information you can offer on this matter.

According to the TSB, the design/material fault can occur in 2004-2009 Priuses. The fault, according to a Toyota service advisor, results in a failure of the air bag system. To address the condition, "an updated wire harness must be installed. " the cost to repair this design fault is $2,500. And up depending on if one or both sides of the wiring harness has to be replaced. Because this safety related defect needed to be addressed at once we paid to have the vehicle repaired but expressed our view to the Toyota personnel that the defect should have been covered by Toyota. We feel that this defect should have been the subject of a recall. Calls to the gm of the dealership have not been returned.

The passenger side airbag light showed that the air bag is "off" when someone was sitting in the seat. The vehicle had never been involved in an accident where the airbag had been deployed. The Toyota dealer said it was a software glitch and repaired the problem, but he charged an $85 diagnostic fee, plus tax because the vehicle has more than 35,000 miles. I was under the impression that safety devices were not subject to warranty limitations.
