WE WHERE DRIVING BACK FROM A FAMILY FUNCTION AND WHEN WE GOT HOME, THE SEATBELT WOULD NOT RETRACT BACK IN. WE HAD BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE SEATBELTS LOCKING FOR AWHILE BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE BELT DID NOT RETRACT. I CALL THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $800.00 SO I DID NOT GET IT FIXED BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD IT. THE SECOND SEATBELT WENT OUT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 65MPH AND WERE AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES. THE SEATBELT LOCKED SO WE REMOVED IT TO RESET IT AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THEN IT STOPPED WORKING. THE THIRD REAR BELT WAS A HARD TIME RETRACTING AS WELL. THE DEALER TESTED IT AND IT ALSO FAILED THEIR TESTS. THE DEALER NOW SAYS THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT MECHANICAL FAILURE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MILEAGE. THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PUT A DIME INTO THIS REPAIR.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA LE IN JUNE 2007. ON JUNE 2, 2015, AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON ON DISPLAY. FOLLOWING "OWNER'S MANUAL" THAT CAME WITH VEHICLE, I CONTACTED A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, WHO SCHEDULED ME FOR A JUNE 11, 2015 APPOINTMENT. UPON TAKING MY CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION ON WHAT COULD BE WRONG, TOYOTA DEALER FOUND LEFT FRONT SRS SENSOR TO HAVE FAILED AND CENTER SRS SENSOR IS POOR/INTERMITTENT SIGNAL. I ASKED TOYOTA DEALER WHAT CAUSED THESE SENSORS TO BE DEFECTIVE, TOYOTA DEALER SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW. I THEN ASKED IMPLICATION(S) OF DEFECTIVE SENSORS, TOYOTA DEALER SAID IN THE EVENT OF IMPACT AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I CONTACTED TOYOTA USING ONLINE FORM (HTTP://WWW.TOYOTA.COM/SUPPORT/#!/APP/ASK) ON JUNE 14, 2015. TOYOTA CALLED ME ON JUNE 15, 2015 BUT DID NOT OFFER AN EXPLANATION THAT SOUNDED REASONABLE. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE (REP) THAT IT COULD BE FROM WEAR. I ASKED TOYOTA HOW SENSORS CAN GET DAMAGED IF NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN IN AREA OF SENSORS LOCATION TO CAUSE ANY WEAR OR DAMAGE. I THEN TOLD HER I HAVE ONLY HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE SUCH AS OIL CHANGE, AIR FILTER CHANGE, TIRE REPLACEMENT ETC DONE AND THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A CRASH FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I THEN ASKED HER HOW LONG SENSORS CAN BE EXPECTED TO LAST WITHOUT DAMAGE AND/OR WEAR AND SHE DID NOT KNOW. SHE SAID MANAGER OF TOYOTA DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM WILL CONTACT ME ON JUNE 17, 2015. SOMETHING TELLS ME TOYOTA IS NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THIS IS TOYOTA'S FAULT HENCE I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT.

I HAD MY CAR SCANNED TO FIND OUT WHY MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS AND THE FAULT CODE WAS B1811 OPEN FOR DRIVER SQUIDB CIRCUIT. THEY CHECKED AND FOUND THAT MY CLOCK SPRING WAS BAD. THE PART NUMBER WAS1 84306-02110 CABLE SUB. THIS IS A DEALER ITEM FROM TOYOTA. I GOT THE PART FROM KINGS TOYOTA IN CINNAINNTI OHIO. I WORK FOR ANOTHER DEALER AND HAD THEM PUT IN ON FOR ME,. I DID RECEIVE A DISCOUNT ON BOTH THE LABOR AND THE PART. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE IF MY CAR WAS ON THE RECALL LIST AND IT IS NOT. THIS WAS MY AIR BAG AND I GOT TOLD BY OUR SERVICE TECH THAT MY AIR BAG WOULD NOT GO OFF IF I HAD A FRONT END WAS IN A WRECK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I DON'T SEE HOW MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST WHEN I DID HAVE AIR BAGS ISSUES. I DO HAVE A COPY OF THE SERVICE WORK ORDER.

LOOKED UP A RECALL ON THE EMC OF 2007 TOYOTA COROLLAS. MY CAR WAS REAR ENDED ON 12/31/2014. EVER SINCE, MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. MY RADIATOR FAN IS NOT WORKING AND HAD TO BE HOT WIRED BY A MECHANIC FOR IT TO STAY ON WHILE RUNNING. MY AC IS NOT WORKING, MY SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK WHICH IS CAUSED BY A BAD SOLENOID. I HAVE HAD IT INSPECTED FOR OVER 8 HOURS BY CERTIFIED MECHANICS AT MIDAS, AND THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. THEY SAID THAT EVERY TEST THEY DID WAS READING THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT MY AC AND RADIATOR FAN AND SOLENOID ARE NOT WORKING. MY CAR STALLS OUT OCCASIONALLY, IT WONT START SOMETIMES, AND IT IS IDLING LOUDER THAN BEFORE.
