I was on a highway exit ramp (exit 5 off Northbound I-395) when my airbags deployed (driver and both sides). My car veered off the asphalt and then quickly I got control and continued out of traffic on a residential side road just off Route 7 westbound. My car then abruptly stoped. I managed to restart it a couple of times and run it just enough to get it off the road. I have attached photos. There does not appear to be any resulting damage to the body of the car. There were no outstanding recalls on the vehicle. I have reported the incident to my insurance (Geico).

On 11/10/2014, we had our recall regarding our 2010 Corolla airbags corrected at our dealership with the replacement of the sub-assembly spiral cable. Our mileage at the time was 27382 miles. Just recently at 58,000 miles we have to pay $775 to replace that same spiral cable. This seems somewhat financially onerous since this is obviously not a wear and tear item, but one crucial to the vehicle's innate safety and one that does not appear to hold up well. I do not believe vehicle owners should be required to subsidize Toyota's defective equipment.

Airbags icon on passengers side appear as off as well as driver side on panel appears as not working, I have to shut off and on the vehicle for it to go away or reset, from time to time it occurs - it just started happening about a month or so ago it was working fine - now every now and then the airbags malfunction and appear as off on the panels and vehicle has to be turned off and on for the off button/ function to be reset. Also lock button on driver side does not lock with the remote control... it has to be manually locked for the vehicle to be closed and alarm to be activated.

Takata recall- the airbag sensor light recently came on in my car and I am being told there is an issue with the airbag inflator and/or sensor causing the light to stay on. Also this is the second time in a year that my horn has gone out.

Takata recall. I called the dealership (bob howard Toyota in edmond, Oklahoma) to schedule the airbag replacement but was told they do not have the part and will call me when the part is available. I asked the employee if we could get a rental or loaner car in the meantime since we use the passenger daily for our kids. She informed me they do not do that and that I need to call Toyota directly via the number on the recall form. After talking to Toyota they informed me I should receive a call from Toyota relations at the dealer (bob howard Toyota) within 48 hours. After waiting a week and receiving no call I decided to call Toyota directly again. I was then informed the dealership was suppose to call me back on the 27th of August (48 hours from original call with Toyota) but they did not. When Toyota tried to reach out to the dealership the person in charge of handling these matters would not answer their calls. So now I am waiting an additional 24 hours to get a call back from the dealership to get a loaner car. During this whole thing we are still driving a car with a airbag that could potentially kill someone!
