MY 2008 TOYOTA MATRIX WAS UNDER RECALL SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED IN OCTOBER 2019. AT THAT TIME I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I WAS PROVIDED WITH A RENTAL CAR. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED WITH THE TOYOTA AIR BAG REMEDY ON JUNE 11, 2020 BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE REMEDY HAS CAUSED THE COVER TO POP UP AND A CREASE IS FORMING ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE AIRBAG COVER. ALSO, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT SAYS OFF WHEN A PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED. THE PASSENGER INDICATOR LIGHT WORKED PROPERLY WHEN I LAST DROVE MY CAR IN OCTOBER OF 2019. *TR

SRS LIGHT IS ON NOT FLASHING. CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED. CAR WAS PARKED NOT MOVING I WASHED IT AND FILLED WASHER FLUID RESERVOIR FLUID SPILLED SO I RINSED IT OFF WHEN I WAS DONE I MOVED MY CAR AND SRS LIGHT WAS ON. I BELIEVE THE SENOR SHORTED OUT WHEN IT GOT WET.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND THEN INSTANTLY COLLAPSED. IT OFFERED NO PROTECTION WHATSOEVER. I EXPERIENCED SEVERE PAIN IN MY CHEST AND RIGHT BREAST FROM WHERE THE SEAT BELT LOCKED. THIS PAIN LASTED FOR 6 WEEKS. IF THE AIRBAG HAD WORKED PROPERLY, IT WOULD HAVE CUSHIONED THE IMPACT AND LIKELY MADE IT POSSIBLE TO LESSEN THE NEED FOR THE SEATBELT TO DO ALL OF THE WORK. THIS MUST BE FIXED! (MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHEN A PERSON DRIVING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION MADE A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ME AND TOTALED MY VEHICLE. I NO LONGER HAVE THE CAR, BUT I HAVE A PHOTO OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG.)

MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE ACTIVATED, BUT DID NOT. THIS WAS AFTER I HAD THE RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS REPAIRED AT THE DEALER IN LATE 2017. WHO CAN I ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WITH?

I HAD MY CAR CHECKED BECAUSE A LIGHT CAME ON ON MY DASH ON 12/6/17 SO I HAD IT CHECKED AND IT ENDED UP BEING MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW, BUT THE MONITOR THEY HOOK UP INDICATED THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS AFFECTED, SO I TOOK IT INTO TOYOTA AND THEY LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS DUMB AND JUST TOLD ME THAT THEY PUT AIR IN MY TIRES AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. SO ON 12/12/17 MY MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD O'REILYS CHECK WITH THERE MONITOR AND AGAIN IT RED FLAGGED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, I KNEW IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE SO I FIGURED THAT'S WHY MY MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT WAS ON BUT WHAT CONCERNS ME IS THE AIRBAG. ACCORDING TO MY NOTES, I HAD MY AIRBAGS SUPPOSEDLY REPLACE IN JULY OF 2016 AND I AM NOT SURE IF A LIGHT WOULD COME ON INDICATING SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS BUT I NEED TO FIND OUT IF AFTER A 1 1/2 YEARS WHY I WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAG???? COULD THIS BE RELATED TO THE RECALL AND HOW DO I FIND OUT (OTHER THAN GOING IN TO TOYOTA) THAT THEY ACTUALLY REPLACED THE RECALLED AIRBAG???) THEY TELL ME THEY DID BUT DOESN'T MY VIN NUMBER HAVE TO BE KEPT TRACK OF SOMEWHERE BESIDES THE SPECIFIC DEALER THAT I WENT TO??? THEY TREATED ME LIKE CRAP AND TOLD ME IT WAS AN $89 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND IF IT WAS AN AIRBAG WOULD COST BETWEEN $500-$700 DOLLARS. I NEED TO KNOW MORE INFORMATION ON THE PREVIOUS AIRBAG RECALL AS I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF IT WAS NEVER FIXED BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD TO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED FOR LIGHTS COMING ON SO I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 1 1/2 YEARS WITH FAULTY AIRBAGS.
