The front and driver side air bags did not deploy (although the passenger side air bag did deploy). Initial impact came from behind, toward the passenger side, causing the vehicle to turn fully sideways, where the vehicle was then t-boned on the driver's side. The lack of driver side air bag deployment resulted in a lot of glass making it into the left side of the driver's head.

Airbags did not deploy when I got into an accident on I-91. The car has been totaled and is in allstate's possession, and I believe it is available for inspection. My safety was put at risk because the airbags didn't deploy in a head-on collision with multiple objects (reflector pole, trees). The vehicle is in the process of being inspected by allstate insurance representatives. There were no warning messages or symptoms prior to this incident.

Airbags never deployed front or side. Vehicle equipped and activated sos system did not work. Vehicle was a total loss and I nearly died in the process.

The airbag light on my 2010 Prius intermittently goes on and off. I have brought it to Toyota as well as my mechanic to see if anyone can find the problem. I've been told I need to change the seat and or the weight sensor isn't working. When I looked at the numerous Prius websites this is unbelievably common!.

On 9/12/21, I was driving 25-30mph when the SUV in front of me stopped on the freeway interchange suddenly and unexpectedly (other cars were not around us). I hit the breaks very hard and fast but could not stop and collided with the SUV. The front end of the Prius lodged under the back end of the SUV and the impact was enough to wreck the Prius. During that collision, the driver side seatbelt engaged, but the passenger side seatbelt did not. My preteen hit his forehead on the dashboard very hard. Additionally, the airbags failed to deploy. I could smell an odor from the dust from the airbags. The car is at a repair shop waiting for insurance adjuster to inspect. There were no warning lamps or other messages of the problem prior to the failure.

My steering wheel controls, including odometer, cruise control, horn, and airbag light is on. I took it to the dealership and they said it is the spring (clocking) cable in the steering wheel. Looking up a recall there are quite a few years and models where this exact issue has been recalled on Toyotas, but the dealership says my 2016 Toyota Prius is not cover (same exact issue). I submitted a ticket through Toyota customer service but they have done nothing about this safety issue for the 2016 Toyota Prius. I see lots of blogs and complaints because the airbag default warning light stays lit, so I assume airbag is not functional. I found a site that says to put the complaint through here.

2011 Toyota Prius. Consumer writes in regards to airbag safety recall. The consumer stated the vehicle needed to remain at the dealers for the full day in order to have the recall repair completed.

My horn no longer works. I took it into the dealer and it was diagnosed as having a faulty spiral cable. According to information on the internet, the spiral cable also plays a role in the deployment of the driver airbag. This part was under a recall for vehicles a couple of years prior. I feel that if this is a known issue and an extreme safety issue then it should also be fixed under recall. The dealer price to fix this is over $800. I have opened a case with Toyota #210-128-2281, but they don't see it as a safety concern and will not offer assistance to remedy the faulty cable.

Problem 1. Both curtain airbags on the passenger side deployed while no one was sitting in those seats, no injuries sustained to anyone. This happened one time as it happened in a car accident, nothing indicated that the air bags were on or active at the moment. Problem 2. Abs system failure has caused the brakes on the Prius to lock and not work while driving, almost causing an incident. The car has not been driven since for the fear of that happening again. The vehicle has been seen by a mechanic to determine it is the abs system. The abs light has been on as well, it appeared a couple of weeks before the brakes locked up back in March of this year.

My airbags deployed prior to impact at a speed of less than 25 mph. I applied the brakes very forcefully and the airbags deployed prior to impact. I had little front end damage and every single airbag deployed.

Steering wheel defroster control panel stopped working, all the rest of the controls are operational except the defroster portion. Seems the clockspring is malfunctioning. As the same part is providing signal for all the steering wheel controls and possibly the airbag, this is a safety concern to me.

Takata recall I received a recall in January 2017 regarding curtain shield air bags in the roof rails of my car. I contacted my Toyota dealership in January and was told that they didn't have the part to make the repair but would call me when they got the part in. I called them two more times regarding this issue, most recently on 10-25-17 and was again told that they would contact me when they get the corrective part. Can you please tell me when the corrective part should be dispensed to the dealerships? what is a reasonable amount of time to expect this to be corrected and what, if any, action should I pursue?.
