I was involved in a crash where I was hit on the passenger side. Although the impact was severe enough to cause damage to the frame of the car, none of the six (6) air bags deployed. As mentioned in a previous complaint, there is now a gap on the dashboard around the area for the passenger air bag.

Several months ago, I went to my local Toyota dealership about a concern with my passenger side air bag. I was told without them touching my vehicle that I needed a new dashboard which is over $2000. I left because I didn't have $2000 plus to purchase a dashboard. I went online to Toyota.com and submitted a complaint on 6/24/2014. I spoke with [xxx], a day or so later and she advised me to go back and have them check it, which I did and I was told when I got there it would be an hour/hour and a half before they get to my car. I told[xxx] (advisor) that I'll wait in the lounge area, it was approximately 2:01pm, at 2:30pm he told me my car was ready. I was given a couple of print outs and was told once again I needed a new dashboard because the vehicle was old, per [xxx]. he also asked me if I could read when I asked if it was stated on the print outs, very rude! I spoke with [xxx] again and she said she would have to speak with my local dealership first and she'd contact me in a few days, which she did and said the service manager named [xxx] said he told me it was a cosmetic issue. I never spoke with a tim. She also told me that Toyota will not help me because it's a cosmetic issue, per [xxx] at bev smith Toyota. I attached photos with my complaint to Toyota. I went online and found a complaint site and posted my complaint on there and found out I could contact NHTSA. As I stated to Toyota corporation, I'm not seeking a new vehicle or money, I just want this problem fixed. I would hate for something tragic to happen when the issue could've been resolved! basically, Toyota is saying that their dashboards don't last over ten years. Very disappointed with them and I was considering purchasing another Camry, not after this!! my complaint isn't the only one for that particular vehicle. Shameful!! information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I have a 2003 Camry le, and I am concerned the airbag on the passenger side is showing gaps around the cavity on the dashboard. I use the car for daily transportation for personal use, and I'm afraid it might explode from the high heat. I reside in the state of Florida. What is my recourse to solve this matter? I heard and read that there is a recall for Toyota vehicle of that year because of the airbag problem in Florida.

We were traveling in the center lane of I-5 at 55mph and a car (a Jeep wagoneer) spun out of control on the adjacent cloverleaf and hit us on the passenger side. The impact was on our front right side tearing the right front wheel A-arm crumbling the right side of the car all the way back to the rear door of the 4 door sedan. Both front air bags deployed. But neither side air bag deployed. My wife was thrown against her seat belt causing bruising and the door creating large bruises on her right hip, knee, and pain across the chest (from the seat belt).

The passenger airbag cover is been curled up and now it's starting to crack, it seems the airbag will deployed anytime soon. I know there is some issues with airbags deployment in 2003 Camry, I just can't able to find the info and dealer is not the big help either. Thanks

I noticed a slight swelling in the area around the passenger side air bag seam. I looked down into the crevice and saw a slight separation. I didn't pay it no mind at the time. Today, the seam split has grown to three inches. I'm concerned that the air bag might deploy and injure a passenger.

The accident occurred on the 5 freeway going from northern California to southern California, on the grapevine. It was rainy out and during the time of the incident the rain was just softening up. In the far left lane I driven my vehicle at about 55 - 60mph, speed limit was at 65mph. I begin to slow down, and while doing so the car begins to swerve and not react to my brakes. It then turns out to the next lane and begins spinning about 4 times while I pull up the emergency brakes. No car collision happened, but it was headed straight towards the guard rail, where it then hit the left front of the car and then the side left of the car and back left of the car. The car finally braked, with damage to the front, side left, and back of vehicle, blown out both back tires, wouldn't turn on, & no air bags deployed. The accident caused damaged to the vehicle and cracked pavement as well as moved guard reel affected area about a foot in. Passenger had head, neck and back injuries, nothing to serious, just enough to get checked up and sent to the hospital. I believe the speed of the car should have caused the air bags to deploy. Its a 2003 Toyota Camry, I've been the owner for about a year and a half, no accidents prior to this one.

On January 12, 2010, I had my 2003 Camry detailed (washed inside and out-including the carpet)at a car wash. I proceeded to a nearby mall, where I stopped briefly at a store. Upon exiting the parking lot, I made a full stop at the stop sign. I then proceeded to go by stepping on the accelerator. At this point the car suddenly accelerated to a high speed, and I was not able to stop it, even though I was pressing on the brake. The car went across 3 lanes & up, over, and down a median, continued to go across another 3 lanes and finally came to rest after hitting a tree on another median. To the best of my knowledge, the accelerator became stuck in the down position, and pushing down on the brake to the left of it did not help, nor did the steering wheel turn as I was trying to avoid hitting the tree. Also, please be aware that my front air bag did not deploy. At the time, I had no visible signs of injury, but injuries became apparent soon after, and can be verified by a doctor. A police report is available, if needed. The vehicle was towed to a collision shop, waiting to be repaired. A claim was filed with Toyota manufacturing. The failure mileage was about 52,000.
