2003 Toyota Corolla. Consumer writes in regards to airbag safety recall. The consumer stated the recall repair exceeded a reasonable amount of time to be completed. Updated 12/7/2017
Hi, I called for airbag replacement due to recall at the first notice about several years ago and went to my Toyota dealer in danvers to get it fixed. I was told they didn't have the parts and supplies. Then I left it alone for while until all the safety recalls and notices kept coming in. I was in an accident in 2009 where my car bag did not deploy for my safety.

"takata recall" I am the owner of the Toyota Corolla vehicle with the VIN details supplied above.

I live here in nigeria and I use the car here in nigeria, I would like to know where I could replace by passanger airbag here in nigeria. I look forward to your prompt advice on this. Thank you.
Took vehicle to dealer in miami for SRS recall, light came on about 6 month earlier, advisor told me they replace SRS control unit, but light still on and airbag are not operational, I was told probably a spiral cable needs to be replace at my expense and that is not covered. I see a lot of this same problem happening on Corollas spiral cable failure. Toyota is not addressing this issue which makes SRS system inoperative then what is the point of all the SRS recall. This issues needs to be address

Had 2 airbag recalls completed at dealership-airbag light on dashboard was still on when jobs were completed--I was told it would cost $105 to 'diagnose' the airbag system is not safe....I should not be charged to diagnose and repair system that is faulty
I took my car for a airbag recall. My airbag light was on prior to recall. I really don't know if this fixed, because light is still on. From what I heard my airbag won't even work with the light being on. Call someone on Toyota and the said it would an extra charge to have it diagnosed. Shouldn't the problem have been fix when I took it for the recall because of a defective airbag.
"takata recall" I have had my airbag inflator replaced, so that my airbag will not inflate unexpectedly. But my main concern now is with the airbag. It is a safety hazard. I have a daughter that rides in the front with me. Nobody is taking care of the airbag itself. There are metal fragments in those airbags, and if I am in an accident those fragments will come shooting out of those bags which will result in serious injury and possibly death. It has happened to others. What is Toyota going to do about the airbags.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2003 Toyota Corolla. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15V043000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the air bag indicator illuminated when the vehicle was started and remained on while driving at any speed. The failure mileage was unknown. Parts distribution disconnect.
Got into what could've been a minor accident, but the car was totaled, however, the airbags did not even deploy. Before the accident, the seatbelt would lock at random times, which could cause an accident. I was making a U-turn on a state road. Once hit, the entire tire went under the car and the entire front came off, which was why I was surprised that the airbags did not go off.
Upon getting the ECU recall taken care of for my vehicle, I was told that my air bag indicator dash light was lit because of error code B1181 which, I was told by the Toyota service representative, is caused by a worn spiral cable. He informed me that this problem could potentially cause my air bags to not deploy in the event of a crash. Earlier that day, I had the spiral cable recall remedied on my 2008 Toyota yaris. This is inconsistent and dangerous to fix a problem in one vehicle and not in another. I'm asking that the spiral cable recall be extended to all applicable vehicles.
