2005 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

THE LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAGS READS OFF AND THERE'S A RED LIGHT ON MY DASH STAYS ON INDICATING THE AIR BAGS. THERE IS NO PASSENGER OR ANYTHING HEAVY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS JUST STARTED THURS. OCT. 22, 2025. NORMALLY WHEN THE LIGHT GOES ON THERE IS NOISE THAT GOES OFF UNTIL I REMOVE THE HEAVY ITEM FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS SCARY. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 5:15 IN THE EVENING AFTER I STARTED MY VEHICLE AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED @ 3 HOURS. I NOTICED THE AIR BAGS LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE RED LIGHT ON. I HAD PULLED OUT FROM THE CURB AND I THOUGHT A DOOR WAS OPEN. SO I STOPPED TO CHECK AND IT WAS NOT.

TAKATA PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL. NOTIFIED LATE JULY/EARLY AUGUST AND AS OF 10/21/2015, THE REPAIR PARTS ARE STILL "NOT AVAILABLE IN MY AREA." THIS SEEMS TO BE TAKING EXCESSIVELY LONG. I CAN'T ALLOW ANYONE TO OCCUPY MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE SOMETIME IN AUGUST 2015 DUE TO AIRBAG DEFECT; 2ND NOTICE IN SEPT. 2015. I CALLED MY TOTOTA DEALER AND PHONE # ON NOTICE. I WAS TOLD NO ONE SHOULD SIT IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL REPLACED. PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE. ITS NOW BEEN WELL OVER 2 MONTHS AND STILL UNABLE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD I COULD RENT A CAR , $25 PER DAY, BUT WOULD HAVE TO KEEP RENTAL UNTIL CAR REPAIR WAS COMPLETED, AND NO TIME FRAME ON WHEN PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. IF I DID RENT A CAR, IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY COST ME OVER $700.00. WHAT GOOD IS HAVING A CAR THAT YOU CANNOT USE WHEN YOU WANT TO. I ALREADY CANCELED SMALL VACATION IN SEPTEMBER. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA, ALL THEY COULD SAY WAS THERE IS STILL NO TIME FRAME ON WHEN PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE.

THERE HAS BEEN NO REMEDY TO THIS SAFETY RECALL ISSUE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, AND I DO NOT BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. I AM SUBMITTING A COMPLAINT AGAINST TOYOTA. THE SAFETY RECALL IS CONCERNING PASSENGER AIRBAG DEFECTS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE FATAL.
