38 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 2009 Toyota Yaris

Failure Date: 10/11/2013

While traveling home in wet conditions, my friend lost control of the vehicle striking 2 full size pine trees and two electric poles, basically we bounced from one to the other hitting the front head on and front left and right before coming to a stop on top of a fire hydrant. . . The only airbag to deploy was the drivers steering airbag. I was obviously sitting in the passenger seat and due to the passenger airbag not deploying I slammed my head into the dash before the seatbelt locked. This needs to be looked into and researched, my friend and myself could have and probably should be dead due to the airbag defect in these vehicles, there are multiple complaints regarding this style Yaris that's pertaining to the same issue.

39 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 2007 Toyota Yaris

Failure Date: 07/01/2013

The srs airbag warning light started lighting up periodacally and then eventually stayed on. Ran an obd test that showed the clock spring was shorted. This is located in the steering wheel behind the airbag. Have seen many online complanits on this issue and feel a recall is in order. This is not a cheap dealer repair (more than $500) and can be a serious safty issue if the airbags do not deploy in a crash. It really needs to be ungently looked into before life or limb is lost, if it hasn't happened already.
