I received a safety recall notice regarding the air bags on our Toyota Yaris and took the vehicle in for repair to Toyota of new bern, 5010 highway 70 East, new bern, nc, 252 637 7200. The recall specified a spiral cable replacement. Subsequently, Toyota of new bern service said they replaced the cable but that another problem prevented them from repairing the driver's side airbag. The cost to repair this defect would run $1,600, I was told. I called corporate Toyota which reiterated that repairs could not be made without payment for repair of a broken wire behind interior trim within the car. I am somewhat at a loss since there is not sign of any damage to interior trim sufficient to break wires behind it. And frankly I have only the word of Toyota that they did indeed replace the spiral cable. The driver side airbag remains inoperative until this issue is resolved, a risk to safety and a detriment to any future sale of the vehicle..

The airbag light is stays on and I received a interim recall notice in mail for spiral cable. I took it to the dealership for inspection and they said clock spring is causing the airbag light to stay on. I do not believe them. Both the clock spring and the spiral cable are behind the steering wheel. Now they want $500 to fix. I believe the dealership is avoiding to fix the recall replacement.

The air bag alert bag comes on solid. There has been a national recall on this since April. I have contacted my dealer and they have stated that the company (Toyota) has not decided what parts need to be replaced. Since this is a safety recall (since April) I feel that the safety of myself and my family are in jeopardy. As the natl.hwy traffic safety admin, I feel you should be able to enforce the recall and make Toyota take care of their customers.

I purchased my Yaris new in 2007. It now has 107,000 miles on it and the airbag warning light has come on. Dealer is telling me the spiral cable for airbag is shorted and needs repair - which will be about $500+ to fix, to ensure deployment if needed. Looking online I see other Yaris owners with this issue, and other Toyota vehicles with this same issue, and some recalls. I am very concerned as this is a safety issue and I feel a defect in engineering that should have a recall for Yaris also. Toyota responded with an offer to pay $200 to assist in getting it repaired or a special offer to buy another Toyota new - I took neither option believing this should be a recall for free repair, not cost me $300 plus.
