2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/11/2022

Since Toyota replaced the air bags as part of the airbag recall back in 2019 in my 2007 Toyota Yaris (VIN: jtdbt923771133404), the airbag signs always stayed on; I'm just worried if this prevents the airbags to deploy in case of a crash.

Takata recall.

6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/19/2017

Takata recall the recall was issued on 5/23/16. Today is 9/19/17 and the recall is still incomplete. They have failed to provide a solution to this issue in a timely manner. Sixteen months is a long time to wait. . . Especially when every time you ride as a passenger you run the risk of being severely injured or killed by the defect. We make sure that our children ride in the back, but if the airbag was to deploy and send metal shrapnel flying though the front seat, there is a chance that they could still be injured or killed. This is completely unacceptable. This is our daily form of transportation. I would rather have no airbag than to run the risk of myself, my children or my husband being impaled by metal shrapnel. This needs to be fixed. . . Immediately.

7 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/23/2017

Takata recall received interim notice, but did not receive any remedy notification later. Just received auto airbag settlement notice today. Called local dealer to follow the notice of getting the airbag replaced ASAP, and they said they had nobody there to operate the computer to verify my car was under the recall & call back another day. How come I could verify the same day on my phone & the dealer could not? now, I need to take my wife to the hospital & will not be able to contact the dealer until later. So two complaints; no remedy notification & delay by the local dealer.

8 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/10/2017

Tamara recall in 2015 I was sold a 2007 Toyota Yaris hatchback. August 10, 2017 I was notified of a possibly deadly defect in the car that Toyota has known about for several years before my car was sold to me. The fact the auto manufacturer chose to put my family's lives in jeopardy, and is actually responsible for the deaths of others, instead of immediately notifying every comsumer, because they didn't want to eat the cost of of the massive recall, is unacceptably immoral behavior. I no longer feel safe driving the vehicle. I will no longer be purchasing a car from these companies, and I will seek a full refund on the price I paid for the car, and will shop elsewhere. They knew about it and continued to make and sell them. The safety of the consumer is more important than company profits.

11 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/06/2017

Takata recall I received a safety recall notice, and contacted burien Toyota to have the fix performed. I was told that the airbag was "on back-order" and that I should call back in 5-6 weeks. I do not believe this fix is being performed in a reasonable amount of time. The recall notice calls this an "important safety recall" and says that I should not have passengers in the passenger seat of my car. If the recalled part fails, it can "result in serious injury or death. " why is Toyota taking 5-6 weeks after sending us the notice to fix this problem? am I supposed to quit driving my car for the next two months while they order a part that they have known for months to be defective? this is irresponsible.

12 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/22/2017

Takata recall; I received a recall notice on 2-22-17. I called the suburban Toyota dealership and received little information. I was told to call back in a month or two and maybe the parts would be available. This recall is several years old . Why am I just now being notified? I. When the recall was first announced I checked to see if my vehicle was on the list and it was not. I received my notification on 2-22-17. It is my understanding that less than 15% of the affected vehicles have been repaired. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that I have been driving a car containing an explosive device that could rupture any time conditions are right. Toyota does not seem to be overly concerned with my safety or anyone else's.

All 3 lanes stopped to let me pass and as I was turning left another car was driving in the bike lane at 45mph and with out touching their brakes slammed into my car throwing me a few feet. When I got out of the car I noticed my airbags didn't deploy. I remember there being a recall on them and larry h miller did no have the parts they needed so they told me they would not fix the problem.
