2014 TOYOTA COROLLA Air Bags Problems

On March 12, 2025, I was involved in a frontal collision when another vehicle unexpectedly pulled out in front of me. Impact occurred to the front-left area of my vehicle. Despite the nature of the collision, the front airbags did not deploy. The vehicle is subject to Safety Recall 20TA03, which addresses incomplete or non-deployment of airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners due to ECU susceptibility to electrical noise in certain crash scenarios. The vehicle was declared a total loss by my insurance company and is no longer available for inspection. The manufacturer was notified in May 2025 and again in November 2025. The manufacturer closed the case citing inability to inspect the vehicle and later relied on photographs only to rule out airbag deployment concerns. No warning lights or messages related to the airbag system were observed prior to the collision. The non-deployment of the airbags placed my safety at risk during a frontal impact.

The contact owned a 2014 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while the daughter was driving approximately 70 MPH the daughter lost control of the steering causing the vehicle to roll over and crash into a ditch. During the crash, the vehicle sustained severe front-end damage and was destroyed but no air bags were deployed. During the crash, the driver sustained a concussion that later required medical assistance. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was contacted regarding the incident. The contact indicated that the vehicle was previously serviced under the NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V024000(AIR BAGS). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced that same failure listed in the recall. The Local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 130,000.

I was in a car accident .A woman failed to yield at a stop sign and rammed into the front of my car at a high accelerated speed. I was restrained but the right side of my forehead hit the rearview mirror .causing two huge knots on my head. My eye glasses also smashed into my right eye and I had a cut above my eye .I was thrown to the right passenger seat area , my right hip hit the gear shift and my knees and hip , were bruised. Apparently the seatbelt failed as well , but my main complaint is that the airbags failed to deploy. I suffered damage strain and bruising to both hands, the left was worse , I was made to wear a brace . I was taken to the ER via ambulance . One of the officers assumed I wasn’t wearing a seatbelt , which was not true at all . He thought I hit the windshield but I did not , it was the mirror . I have proof , photos and all EMT and ER records report that I was restrained . A paramedic helped me remove the seatbelt to exit my car . I feel I wouldn't have suffered the head, eye and other injuries if the airbag had deployed.

Radio is not working and the light stays on the radio making it hard to drive cause it is so bright which is dangerous.

The website of https://www.toyota.com/recall is not working. Therefore, I am unable to change my recalled airbag.

Air bags did not go off during the crash and the seats belt tensioner didn't lock up the seat belt resulting in injury to my self. Radio keeps rebooting

We was on Highway and a Buck jumped out , my passenger was freaked out knowing no Air Bags deployed. I was escorted home by police and Contacted Toyota ,they sent a [XXX] to come take my sensors off the car and Never contacted me again, told me to sign into Toyota page and they'd get back to me. Now my car just sits Smashed in Garage, it was in great shape before and I was gonna trade it in. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while driving at 5-10MPH, he blacked out and the vehicle crashed into a tree on the front passenger's side. The driver's side curtain air bags were deployed; however, the driver's air bags failed to deploy. The contact exited the vehicle through the passenger side independently. The contact's roommate transported him to his residence. The contact later sought medical assistance and was informed he had sustained a broken nose and broken ribs. The vehicle was towed to a body shop where it was totaled. A police report was filed. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and sent an EDR report to the contact. The contact became aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V024000 (AIR BAGS), which he associated with the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,238.

My daughter was driving a 2014 Corolla with just over 100k miles and T-Boned a truck that pulled out in front of her. She was doing 30 mph when she hit the truck and the airbags did not deploy. Unknown damage cost due to it is still under investigation by the opposing insurance company. Lucky, my daughter was not seriously hurt. It appears to be an on-going problem for the Toyota cars with the airbags not deploying properly in a crash but something needs to be done before more people die due to faulty equipment.

DRIVING MY NEW FIRST LEASE A SMALL COROLLA AND TURNING RIGHT INTO WORK... A THIRD ROW BIG OLD SUV DOING AT LEAST 35 MPH OR FASTER REAR ENDED ME AND PUSHED MY LITTLE CAR INTO A BIG DECORATIVE BOULDER AND ALMOST PINNED ME SO I COULDN'T WIGGLE MY WAY OUT OF THE WINDOW. NOT ONE AIRBAG WENT OFF AND IT WAS NOT A MINOR OR SLOW IMPACT. WEEKS LATER I UNFORTUNATELY GENTLY TAPPED A PARKED VAN MAKING A TURN FOR A STOP SIGNAL AND EVERY SINGLE AIRBAG (ONES I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WERE IN THE CAR) WENT OFF AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED IT A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS LUCKY TO NOT HAVE BEEN INJURED IN THE FIRST ACCIDENT, HOWEVER, I FEEL THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS AND I COULD HAVE BEEN. TOYOTA ALSO CAME AFTER ME FOR $1,700+ DOLLARS AS THE LEASE WAS ONLY 7 MONTHS IN AND I DIDN'T EVEN PAY THE TAXES I GUESS. THEN MY INSURANCE WENT UP SO I WAS FORCED TO CHANGE JOBS AND WALK TO WORK TO MAKE ENDS MEAT AND PAY RENT. I WISH MY STORY WAS READ BY SOMEONE MAKING LOTS OF MONEY WHO THINKS WHAT HAPPENED WASN'T RIGHT AND TOYOTA SHOULD HELP A YOUNG MAN JUST STARTING OUT WITH A NEW WIFE BUT I'M SURE THEY ARE TOO BUSY GOLFING OR AT SOME IMPORTANT MEETING AT A RESORT!

DURING MY INITIAL CONVERSATIONS WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE THEY TOO SAID IT DOES NOT SEEM CORRECT. THEY ARE GOING TO INSPECT THE CARE WITH A WEEK. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF THEIR INSPECTION AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE FAIR. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT IN THE ACCIDENT. BUT I DO THINK THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT A BODY-SHOP BUT THE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL BE TAKING POSSESSION FOR SALVAGE.

MY AIRBAGS ARE NO LONGER WORKING IN MY 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA AND WANT SOME SANDERS. I HAVE LAST THAN 60K MILES ON THIS CAR. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME MY VIN NUMBER IS ON THE LIST WITH WWW.NHTSA.GOV AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP. THERE ARE OTHER WEBSITE THAT INDICATES THEIR PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTA VEHICLE WITH THE AIRBAG FRONTAL SENSOR CONTROL MODULE. FIX THIS COMPLAINT FOR ME, BECAUSE IF I'M IN ACCIDENT WIG NO AIRBAGS I'M DIED.

AS I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVED STREET, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ON ME. I COULD NOT SWERVE AND TURN MY CAR TO FOLLOW THE CURVED STREET. I COULD NOT MOVE THE WHEEL AT ALL. MY CAR RAN INTO A TREE HEAD FIRST. ALL THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND SMOKE APPEARED. MY ENTIRE CAR WAS TOTALED AND SMASHED IN THE FRONT. SCARIEST THING BECAUSE I HAD NO CONTROL. THANK GOD, MY 1 YEAR OLD SON WAS NOT IN THE BACKSEAT OR ELSE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FATALLY INJURED WITH THOSE AIRBAGS. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE. TOYOTA HAS HAD RECALLS IN THE PAST AND THIS COULD HAVE ENDED MY LIFE. *TR

THIS AM I HIT A DEER ON THE WAY TO WORK HEAD ON AT 65-67 MPH AND NOT ONE AIR BAG DEPLOYED!!! THE ENTIRE FRONT END CRUMPLED TO THE WINDSHIELD AREA AND THE RADIATOR AND PARTS TORN LOSE TO THE TOP OF ENGINE AND NOT ONE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. EVERYONE AT THE WRECK COULD NOT BELIEVE IT AND NOW I AM TERRIFIED OF THE CAR IF DIRECT CONTACT AT THAT SPEED DOES NOT OPEN THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHAT WILL? THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. *TR

ON MAY 6, 2014, MY WIFE [XXX] AND I WERE DRIVING HOME TO WLLISTON, VERMONT FROM ARLINGTON, VERMONT. WE WERE DRIVING NORTH AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH IN OUR 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. AT THE BLINKING LIGHT INTERSECTION OF DORSET STREET AND CHEESE FACTORY ROAD, WE MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND DROVE EAST. IT WAS A VERY DARK NIGHT AND I MIS-JUDGED THE DISTANCE TO THE END OF CHEESE FACTORY ROAD, WHERE YOU COULD EITHER TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. AT THE INTERSECTION OF CHEESE FACTORY ROAD AND HINESBURG ROAD, THERE ARE NO BLINKING LIGHTS OR REFLECTORS, AND, IN THE DARKNESS, I MISSED THE STOP SIGN, WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. UPON IMPACT, MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, AND I FELT ONLY A SHARP PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK. IMMEDIATELY GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, I MOVED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO FIND MY WIFE OUT OF THE CAR ON HER HANDS AND KNEES, CRYING OUT THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO BREATHE. IN THE HOSPITAL [XXX] WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CRACKED STERNUM, AN L 1 COMPRESSION FRACTURE IN HER BACK, 3 BROKEN RIBS AND A BROKEN LEFT WRIST. SHE SPENT 9 DAYS IN ICU. IT HAS ONLY BEEN IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS THAT MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD AN IN-DEPTH DISCUSSION OF THE ACCIDENT. [XXX] SAYS THAT HER SEAT BELT DID NOT HOLD HER BACK, AND THAT HER CHEST HIT THE DASH BEFORE HER AIR BAG DEPLOYED; YET, AT IMPACT SHE WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT MY AIR BAG HAD DEPLOYED BEFORE HERS. THIS WOULD PROBABLY ACCOUNT FOR THE SEVERITY OF HER INJURIES AND FOR THE RELATIVELY MINOR INJURIES FOR MINE. WE ARE NOW AWARE THAT THE 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA HAD AIRBAG ISSUES AND WONDER IF OUR 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA MIGHT HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY MEDICAL PERSONNEL THAT TREMENDOUS FORCE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO CRACK A STERNUM, THE KIND OF FORCE THAT WOULD COME FROM HITTING THE DASH BOARD. FOR THESE REASONS WE ARE FILING A CLAIM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
