1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/23/2014

Our Toyota 2006 Scion Tc was involved in a head on collision when it was pulling out slowing on a main road and the other truck involved was probably traveling close to 45mph, the car was totaled but not one air bag worked. This car was purchased because it had a high safety rating, however it is just lucky the driver and passenger were not seriously hurt. Had the car not been totaled we would have insisted it be totaled, would never purchase another Toyota again.

2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2012

Rear curtain airbags began swelling, causing separation of interior panels. Called scion customer relations and was advised that, because my VIN did not match the recalled units, there was nothing that could be done and that the owner would be considered responsible even though I was experiencing a similar issue as documented in Toyota recall no. Ssc 60h. According to their records the proper repairs were already made prior to my purchase. Either this is a continued defect, or the repair was completed improperly as no incident has occurred that would otherwise compromise the integrity of the airbag units.
