I have owned this car for only a few months. I recived the recall for passenger side airbag. Took to Toyota dealership on dixie. I also asked for them to diagnose the SRS light being on on the dash. I was told by dealership I needed a new front driver airbag due to a short. I looked back at the matrix recalls. And there is a recall on the steering wheel cable ssue that is related to the airbag and the circuit over hearing that is related to an airbag recall issue. I called the pervious owner and she said she had an accident and none of the airbags deployed. She also took the car to dealership for a recall in 2016 and was told she needed a new front driver airbag. This car should be included in the current recalls for the above issue. This issue has placed my family and myself in an unsafe situation due to the unsafe, safety equiptment. The SRS lights comes on when the car is started and does not go off. This is the reason for the diagnosis. Toyota should stand behind their product and correct the safety equiptment failures.

Tanaka recall. I had all recalls done since the first one in 2013. At my 2016 recall Toyota mech said recall was done and that all was good and it was safe now. I left lot convinced it was true and I could now allow riders in front seat without threat of injury /death. N0W 2018 discover was not safe to have passenger. That more recalls coming but parts not produced fully in 2016. Airbag was replaced by same defective airbag as taken out, only difference being that it was only out of box not safe redesigned type!!why was I not informed that this was the case when I got the last recall installed"?now have another notice that the real safe one has finished production and I can have one installed now. Meantime my family including grandchildren have been in serious danger of serious injury or death by riding in the front seat!! contacted various Toyota officials but no attempt at explaining problem. In fact passed to "generic: Untrained employee who, or course, was totally unprepared to offer advice or any answers concerning safety, problem.tried West coast CEO " again to end up in same customer service. Cannot enter place time etc since safety negligence occurred over at least 2 years and was there at every place and time I drove a passenger anywhere.

Takata recall my wife and I had an accident in the freeway on our way home more than 7 years ago. We were travelling at around 50-55 mph when suddenly the car in front of us stopped. Resulted in hitting the back bumper of the car in front of us. The car sustained just minor scratched but our car was really damaged. My wife was hurt as a result of the accident who was sitting in the front passenger. The car's air bag did not deploy. I was still wondering until now, why? the damaged to the car was worth more than $8,000. Our insurance company, which was state farm did not mention anything about the air bag. I just found that out when I received the recall notice last week form Toyota. I can't really recall the date it happened, but I can get some information from state farm insurance. Medical attention was not required when the incident happened but medical attention was required after a day or 2 after the accident.

The airbag indicator on my car lit up. I scheduled an appointment with Toyota to have it diagnosed, and they said that I needed a new spiral clock spring cable, which is part number 84306-02110. This is an expensive part, over $300. After doing some searching, I found out that 1) many other Toyota Matrix and corolla owners have had this issue and 2) there was a recall on this part for Toyota of a slightly different make, model, and year. I believe that this part is defective, and that Toyota should cover the replacement cost, including labor.

Takata recall is taking way too long to complete. It has been almost one year, and my Toyota dealer still does not have the necessary parts to complete this recall. Something is wrong. It should not take this long. I think they are stalling and hoping that everyone with a 2003 model year car, sells it. As I understand it, this is a serious problem. They should be made to produce these parts, even if it means working 24 hour shifts until they have sufficient parts.
