My passenger side dash airbag is bloating and tearing at the seam. It is available for inspection. I am concerned that it will continue to add pressure and eventually deploy. It seems unsafe for passengers -would it work properly in the case of an accident" And for myself as the driver, it would certainly startle me while driving if it deployed by itself. I took it in to get serviced and was told it would need to be replaced. The cost will be around $1600. I haven-€™t had my insurance inspect it, is that something that is recommended" I tried to contact Toyota but never heard back. I don-€™t have any warning lights on, and I noticed the issue starting in the past year. I have found threads of other Toyota Camry in the same car age range with owners that are having/had the same issue. These threads mentioned it happening around 40,000 miles, and that aligns with my car too. - I also have a friend that has the same issue with her Camry airbag!
The contact owns a 2002 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the front passenger air bag was protruding out of its compartment. There were no warning indicators illuminated. Legacy Toyota (3800 w Tennessee St, tallahassee, fl 32304, (850) 688-9264) was contacted and stated that the contact would have to pay for diagnostic testing. The dealer provided case number: 1907100960. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 127,000.
I was rear ended on the interstate. I was at a complete halt when a distracted driver of a cement truck rear ended my Camry resulting in the car being completely totalled. Zero airbags deployed after blunt force to the rear causing the car to spin around and be hit again in the front. Photos attached

Vehicle is a convertible. The air bag light remains on whenever the car is running. Car has never been in a collision. Many others have reported same problem for same make/mode/year. Where collisions have occurred with vehicles displaying this condition, air bags fail to deploy.
I had just gotten in the car in the parking lot of a store. Turned the car on, put my seatbelt on, and began entering in a destination into my phone gps when both the airbags deployed. The car was in park with my foot on the brake and my hands were not touching the steering wheel. I had not left the parking space and no one hit or bumped the vehicle. There are not currently any recalls on this vehicle and I can only assume it was an airbag malfunction.
The SRS light has blinked for 5 years. It may blink for a day or two and then not blink for a week. Now it has been blinking everyday for 2 weeks. A diagnostic check was made and I was told that the passenger air bag tried to open but did not. I bought this car used and after about a month the SRS light began to blink.
To whom it may concern: On Tuesday, April 18, 2017 I was on the highway on my way home from work when suddenly I heard a very loud pop. At that moment I wasn't sure whether the sound had come from my vehicle or someone else's, so I continued to drive home. When I arrived to my house I proceeded to check my vehicle to make sure that said noise hadn't come from my car. That's when I noticed that the dashboard on the passenger side was elevated and the airbag was visible. After extensive research, I have found that multiple Toyota vehicles including but not limited to the following models, 2003-2008 corolla, 2003-2008 matrix, 2003-2006 Tundra, and 2002-2007 sequoia have had identical problems with their passenger side airbags and have been recalled for same. According to the information found on Toyota.com, the reason these airbags were unsafely erupting was due to "high absolute humidity". oddly enough the day that this incident occurred it was unusually humid out; I remember turning my air conditioner on because it was so hot outside. Now, I understand that my car is not among the ones that I previously listed but the fact that the same thing that occurred to the above-mentioned vehicles happened to mine should not be dismissed. It is alarming to think of what would have happened if that airbag would have erupted while I was driving in the highway, what if there was someone in the car with me?.
The contact owns a 2002 Toyota Camry. The contact observed that the frontal passenger air bag separated from the dashboard without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 177,000.
Toyota Camry 2002- VIN: [xxx] passenger airbag is being exposed. ( images are attached ) thank you, information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
I had an accident with my Toyota while my husband was driving on a city street and I was sitting beside him. We hit a car when it stopped suddenly. The seat belt and air bags did not protect me. My head strongly hit the windshield.
While driving on the freeway the passenger side air bag started to pulsate and started to rip the air bag cover open, pulled the car over to the brake down lane and called a Toyota dealership. All they said was ther is no recall on that VIN # thanks for the concern Toyota! I am afraid that air bag will deploy wile car is in operation.
I had a wreck in Jan., 7th, 2005. I was traveling below the speed limit and the lady in front of me was dead stopped and I cold not stop my car. I hit her stopped car, doing 45 mph and my airbags did not deploy! now the airbag on the passenger side, is not right. It has moved and separated as if it is about to pop open, since the wreck and the people that did the service on my car to fix the front end (via my insurance co. - usaa) have had it looked at and they will not do anything about it. The cover has moved even more, since my wreck in Jan. 7th, 2015 and I am really scared. My 84 year old mother and my service dog ride in the passenger seat. Please help me before it deploys in her face!
