2006 Toyota Corolla Air Bags

TAKATA RECALL. CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR THE RECALL IN AUGUST 2018. TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE ENTIRE MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (BECAUSE THE STICKER ON THE AIRBAG WAS MISSING FROM A CAR THAT IS OVER 12 YEARS OLD) AND THE PARTS NECESSARY WERE ON BACK ORDER & IT WOULD TAKE 6 MONTHS TO COME IN. IN DECEMBER, I WAS TOLD THERE WERE AROUND 205 PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME ON THE LIST FOR THE SAME PART. I'VE CONTACTED TOYOTA'S CORPORATE OFFICE MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO ETA, AND VERY LITTLE CUSTOMER SERVICE IN TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED. AS OF FEBRUARY 2019, I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY CAR FIXED AND IT'S SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP WHILE I"M FORCED TO DRIVE A LOANER THAT I HAVE TO RENEW EVERY 30 DAYS. I CALLED TOYOTA'S REGIONAL OFFICE A FEW WEEKS AGO AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS MAY TAKE YEARS BEFORE THE PARTS ARE IN AND READY BECAUSE THE PARTS HAVE TO GO THROUGH TOYOTA TESTING AND THE GOVERNMENT. I WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD THIS WOULD BE A 3 HOUR FIX, NOW IT'S BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS AND THERE'S STILL NO END IN SIGHT WHEN THE PARTS NECESSARY WILL BE RECEIVED WHILE MY CAR ROTS FROM DISUSE ON THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP GROUNDS. THE ONLY REASON I BROUGHT MY CAR IN WAS BECAUSE TOYOTA WAS HASSLING ME ABOUT THE RECALL AND NOW THEY MAY NEVER HAVE THE PARTS IN TO FIX IT (AT LEAST WHERE I CAN STILL DRIVE MY CAR). THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT PARTS ARE NOT BEING PRODUCED TO FIX THESE ISSUES THAT TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT IN A TIMELY MANNER.

I RECEIVED AN EMAIL NOTICE AND LETTER IN THE MAIL NOTIFYING ME OF THE TAKARA RECALL, THAT TOYOTA HAS THE PARTS BUT DOESN'T YET KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON OCT 25, AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE THE PARTS AND WANTED TO SCHEDULE REPAIR. UPON FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ISSUE, SHE THEN CHANGED THE STORY AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DO IT YET AND WOULD CALL ME AGAIN AT AN UNDETERMINED FUTURE DATE. TOYOTA IS FAILING TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, AND THEIR ADVICE THAT NO ONE SHOULD SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ON THE DASHBOARD.

STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG SPIRAL CABLE BROKE. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT WENT ON DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED DETACHED CABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S MOTHER WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, HER FOOT BECAME STUCK ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO THE LIVING ROOM WALL OF HER HOME. THE DRIVER'S FACE STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

HAD PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED VIA THE FIRST RECALL AT THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (I-10 TOYOTA IN INDIO). WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. I BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE REPAIR PERSON AND I WAS TOLD THE LIGHT WAS FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER AIRBAG AND I WOULD HAVE TO SPEND $150 TO GET IT FIXED. SCAM! I DID NOT GET IT FIXED SO NOW I'M DRIVING AROUND WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON, NOT KNOWING IF OR WHEN IT WILL EXPLODE. THIS SHOULD BE TAKATA'S EXPENSE, NOT MINE.

TAKATA RECALL. THE LIGHT IS COMING ON SAYING THAT THE AIRBAG IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A WEEK

VEHICLE'S CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. TOYOTA DEALER SAYS THE SPIRAL CABLE HAS FAILED AND MUST BE REPLACED. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR OTHER MODELS FOR SAME ISSUE, BUT NOT FOR 2006 COROLLA. NO ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS IN FL AND DEALER VERBALLY STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN HOT CLIMATE. VEHICLE AIR BAG IS INOPERABLE.

COMPLETED, HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT FOLLOWING THIS REPAIR AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR FLIPPED AND WAS SMASHED COMPLETELY IN THE FRONT AND ON THE LEFT SIDE. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A CRASH WHERE THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A RURAL STREET AND LOST CONTROL WHEN THE FRONT TIRE GOT CAUGHT IN A RUT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

GOT A NOTICE T FROM TK HOLDINGS INC.THAT TAKATA FILED CHAPTER 11 RE: AIRBAGS THAT MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR FREE

I RECIEVED THE AIR BAG ERROR LIGHT COMING ON.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. HAD TO HAVE THE SPIRAL CABLE REPLACED. IT WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. NOTE: IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED BY TOYOTA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DECELERATE, BUT ENDED UP REAR ENDING THE MERGING VEHICLE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG VIOLENTLY DEPLOYED, CAUSING CHEST INJURIES TO THE CONTACT THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT ALSO NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING FACILITY AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000. *TT THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, BUT WAS NOT INFLATED. *JS *TR

I RECENTLY HAD TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BECAUSE MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. I TOLD THE SERVICE REP THAT I HAD JUST RECENTLY HAD BROUGHT IT IN ON THE RECALL ISSUED REGARDING THE AIRBAG DEFECT. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME $131 JUST TO DIAGNOSIS IT. I ARGUED THAT IT SHOULD NOT COST ME ANYTHING SINCE THERE WAS INITIAL ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG. I CALLED THE RECALL PEOPLE AND THEY AGREED WITH ME. I TOOK MY CAR IN AND WAS TOLD BY THE TECH THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO THE SPIRAL COIL CABLE IN THE AIRBAG. HE SAID IT WAS A NONRELATED ISSUE, WHICH I ARGUED HOW COULD IT NOT BE IF ITS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG. HE TOLD ME THAT MY AIRBAG MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF THE SPIRAL COIL. I FAIL TO SEE HOW THE 2 ARE NOT INTERCONNECTED. IF ONE PART OF THE AIRBAG MANUFACTURING WAS DEFECTED THEN IT ONLY REASONS THAT OTHER PARTS OF THE AIRBAG COULD ALSO BE DEFECTIVE. SINCE THEY BOTH ARE RELATED TO DEPLOYMENT. IF THE MANUFACTURE COULD PRODUCE ONE DEFECTIVE PART OR USE DEFECTIVE MATERIAL WHY COULD IT NOT BE REASONED THAT OTHER PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE TOO. THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE CONCERNED WITH PUBLIC AND INDIVIDUAL SAFETY NOT PROFIT.! UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THEY MADE AND EXPENSIVE PRODUCT AT THE COST OF THE CONSUMER (LIVES, MONEY, TIME, AND SAFETY).ALL AIRBAG ISSUES SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL UNTIL THE PROPER ISSUES IS IDENTIFIED. MAYBE THE SENSOR AND THE SPIRAL COIL ARE CONNECTED IN PROPER DEPLOYMENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED ASAP AND ANOTHER RECALL ISSUED BEFORE MORE INJURIES AND DEATHS OCCUR. CONSUMER SAFETY SHOULD BE NUMBER 1 PRIORITY IN FIXING AND RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. I SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT I HAVE TO.!!! NOT KNOWING IF THE AIRBAG WILL OR WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT OR IF I HIT A POT HOLE IS JUST TO RISKY. TOYOTA SHOULD FIX ALL AIRBAG COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES WITHOUT COST!!!

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE 2006 TOYOTA CAROLA. TOYOTA REPLACED INFLATOR WHICH WAS ON RECALL. I NOW HAVE AIRBAG LIGHT ON. TOYOTA RAN TEST ON CAR ,THEY TELL ME IT IS A SINSOR BUT I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE IT MYSELF. THE NEWS REPORTS ARE LEXIS AND SEVERAL OTHERS ARE ON RECALL FOR BAD AIRBAG SENSORS. LIGHT JUST CAME ON AND IS SOMETIMES INTERMITTENT.

TAKATA RECALL - AIR BAG LIGHT POPPED ON WHEN CAR WAS STATIONARY. TOOK IT INTO THE TOYOTA DEALER TO CHECK IT OUT. THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM FROM THE DEALER IS THAT THE AIR BAG IN PASSENGER SEAT HAS AN INTERMITTENT OPEN. CAN I GET AN APPROVAL VOUCHER TO FIX THIS AIR BAG AT NO COST? THE QUOTED AMOUNT TO GET THIS FIXED IS $827.10 PLUS TAX.

TAKATA RECALL I HAD MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALLED AND REPAIRED. NOW I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONTINUING TO STAY LIT. IF THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS RECALLED SHOULDN'T THE DRIVER SIDE ALSO BE RECALLED. THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME BRAND AIRBAG. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE, BUT NOW THAT MY AIRBAG LIGHT FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS COMING ON AND STAYING ON I AM VERY CONCERNED. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE WHICH WILL COST ME $135.00. IF THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IS PART OF A RECALL THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN NOTIFIED OF, WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC?
