2010 TOYOTA YARIS Complaints

NOVEMBER 10, 2017 - I WAS T-BONED BY A MOTORIST (WHO RAN THE LIGHT) ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHILE ATTEMPTING A LEFT HAND TURN THRU AN INTERSECTION. THE 2010 TOYOTA YARIS I WAS DRIVING WAS TOTALED BY THE COLLISION ($8,266.72 OF DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE). THE YARIS SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE YARIS'S LEFT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS COLLAPSED INTO THE YARIS CABIN WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO BREAK MY SAMSUNG NOTE 4 PHONE DISPLAY & DAMAGE ITS INTERNAL SOLID STATE DRIVE. THE SAMSUNG NOTE 4 WAS ENCASED IN AN OTTER BOX AND ATTACHED TO MY LEFT HIP VIA OTTER BELT CLIP DURING THE TIME OF ACCIDENT. MY HEAD STRUCK A HARD SURFACE IN THE YARIS, RESULTING IN A LARGE HEMATOMA ON MY LEFT FRONTAL LOBE. TOYOTA INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THAT WITHIN THE SPAN OF 68 MILLISECONDS, THE LATERAL DELTA-V AIRBAG SENSOR WAS ACCELERATED FROM 0.0 MPH TO 11.1 MPH. YET THE SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. PER TOYOTA, SINCE THE SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS DEEMED IN PROPER WORKING ORDER AND DID NOT DESIGNATE THE COLLISION WARRANTED DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS, EVERYTHING FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. WHEN QUERIED WHAT THRESHOLD WAS REQUIRED TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS (NOTING THE INSTANTANEOUS LATERAL ACCELERATION OF A 2300+ LBS VEHICLE FROM 0 MPH TO 11 MPH WAS INSUFFICIENT), TOYOTA INSISTED I HIRE MY OWN ENGINEERS TO RESEARCH. TOYOTA'S UNWILLINGNESS TO ASSIST LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN COVERING UP A POTENTIAL FLAW IN THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM UTILIZED IN THE YARIS AND POTENTIALLY OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLE MODELS. TOYOTA'S CAVALIER REGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF TOYOTA CUSTOMERS POTENTIALLY PLACES MILLIONS OF TOYOTA CUSTOMERS AT RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA YARIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION TOYOTA BUENA PARK (6400 BEACH BLVD, BUENA PARK, CA 90621, (714) 627-5562) FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V340000 AND 14V168000 (AIR BAGS). THIRTY MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, THE CONTACT DROVE FROM THE DEALER LOT AND THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO AUTONATION TOYOTA BUENA PARK, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING THEY REPAIRED CAUSED THE WINDOW TO SHATTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES TO HAVE MY AIR BAG REPLACED. I CONNECTED WITH TOYOTA AND MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE AIR BAGS ARE ON ORDER AND I WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN IT COMES IN. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER 2 MONTHS! THIS IS DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE! I WANT THE STUPID THING REMOVED!

MY SON WAS ON HIS WAY TO WORK AND CAR FLIPPED 4 TIMES AIR BAGS MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING HIM A BRAIN INJURY AND NOW LIVES WITH SEIZURES HE IS ONLY 23 YES OLD AND IS TAKING 6000 MG'S OF KEPRA A DAY FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE

TAKATA RECALL NOTHING IS BEING DONE AND WE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF OUR CAR'S PROBLEM BACK IN MAY OF 2016. WE ARE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH A DANGEROUS PART IN IT AND TOYOTA HAS NOT CONTACTED US ABOUT THE PROBLEM SINCE LAST YEAR WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT US SOON WITH A TIME FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AIRBAG. THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED US SINCE, AND IT'S GOING ON 14 MONTHS NOW. WE WOULD LIKE SOME HELP TO GET TOYOTA TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE OUR AIRBAG AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS CAR IS EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF HEAT AS IT IS PARKED IN AN OUTDOOR PARKING LOT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DURING WORK DAYS.
