The front passenger airbag is known to be defective and to potentially cause injury or death. Toyota's current remedy is to instruct me to "not drive with an occupant in the front passenger seat". if they are unable to fix my vehicle in a timely fashion they should be providing me with a safe alternative to drive. This language can not be used as jargon to waive their responsibility in case of injury. Their explicit failure to fix this in a timely manner is unacceptable.

I was driving to work and on my way I heard this "click click" sound coming from the driver side dashboard. I didn't know what it was so and didn't see anything. Roughly about three or four more days go by and the annoying clicking started again and then one of the icon on the dashboard lights up. I opened the glove box to get out the manual. The manual had shown that it was the airbag light. I figured since I was due for a oil change at the dealership that would ask them about that light. On August 2, 2013 I went to the dealership to get the oil change. They told me that the lighted icon was about the airbag and said that it needed to be replaced. I asked "how come I need to replace a airbag that I haven't been used yet"" they said that spiral cable had a failure and that it needed to be replaced before I got a inspection sticker or else my car will fail the inspection. I asked the man if it was part of a recall because it didn't sound right to me that a airbag will need replacing even if it hasn't been used. They said no. So I made a appointment for August 24, 2013. I paid $380 for the repair of a spiral cable. I wasn't happy at all. So now July 20, 2015 I get a recall notice about replacing the airbag and which I paid $380 for back in 2013. My first question how do or who do I get my refund for replacing a defected airbag" can you please direct me to the proper place to make a claim because I think that it's unfair for me to loose out on $380. I am very upset because I work very hard to save money. Thank you for your time.

On Thursday July 16 2015, I received a recall notice in the mail for my 2005 Corolla. It states the malfunction of the airbags and strongly recommends that no one occupies the passenger seat so that if for some reason the airbags deploy, it could lead to serious injury or death. While looking up information about this recall, I found that it originally was recalled on May 13th 2015, two months before I received mine in the mail. I cannot believe that Toyota would wait that long to inform its drivers. On top of this, I made an appointment to have it fixed, only to be told today that Toyota is only sending the parts to the dealerships in small increments. My complain only entails that Toyota is not taking care of this problem in a timely manner. Thank you

I was driving northbound in a 2005 Toyota Corolla on avalon park blvd. Ford Fusion heading southbound entered left turn lane and did not slow down. The driver of the other vehicle continued into the intersection and collided with my Corolla on the driver's side door. My head hit the inside of the window on driver's side upon impact and immediately my body jerked to the right. Driver's side airbag did not deploy upon impact. The airbag did finally deploy as my body jerked to the right which caused burns on my left arm. I and the other driver drover our vehicles into the 7-11 parking lot and I called 9-11. Orange county fire & rescue had to extract me from my Corolla and place me in an ambulance. I was taken to Florida hospital East emergency for treatment. Other driver was cited for failing to yield right away. My insurance says my 2005 Toyota Corolla was a total loss. Toyota has been notified and it is being investigated. I am also obtaining a product liability lawyer since the airbag did not deploy upon impact. I am currently going to physical therapy 3 times a week. Also developed dizziness & headaches 2 days after the accident. Crash report: 84901767

I don't understand regarding the airbag recalls. I just heard that Toyota has recalled more cars and yet I am being told it still is a regional recall. I have a 2005 Corolla and I see it on lists of recalled cars and yet because I don't live in the region my car is not included. If there is a danger, why doesn't NHTSA just order the auto manufacturers to recall everything" what's going on"
