2007 TOYOTA YARIS Air Bags Problems

Side-impact on the passenger side, car flipped over and landed upside down. Airbags did not deploy

Since Toyota replaced the air bags as part of the airbag recall back in 2019 in my 2007 Toyota Yaris (VIN: [XXX]), the airbag signs always stayed on; I'm just worried if this prevents the airbags to deploy in case of a crash. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Yaris. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the air bag warning light and "Passenger Air Bag Turned Off" warning light illuminated.

THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATION FOR SIX MONTHS. TOYOTA OF PULLMAN WAS CONTACTED AGAIN AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD ORDER THE PARTS AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL THE RECALL WAS ISSUED ON 5/23/16. TODAY IS 9/19/17 AND THE RECALL IS STILL INCOMPLETE. THEY HAVE FAILED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER. SIXTEEN MONTHS IS A LONG TIME TO WAIT...ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERY TIME YOU RIDE AS A PASSENGER YOU RUN THE RISK OF BEING SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED BY THE DEFECT. WE MAKE SURE THAT OUR CHILDREN RIDE IN THE BACK, BUT IF THE AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY AND SEND METAL SHRAPNEL FLYING THOUGH THE FRONT SEAT, THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THEY COULD STILL BE INJURED OR KILLED. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS OUR DAILY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. I WOULD RATHER HAVE NO AIRBAG THAN TO RUN THE RISK OF MYSELF, MY CHILDREN OR MY HUSBAND BEING IMPALED BY METAL SHRAPNEL. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED...IMMEDIATELY.

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED INTERIM NOTICE, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE ANY REMEDY NOTIFICATION LATER. JUST RECEIVED AUTO AIRBAG SETTLEMENT NOTICE TODAY. CALLED LOCAL DEALER TO FOLLOW THE NOTICE OF GETTING THE AIRBAG REPLACED ASAP, AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NOBODY THERE TO OPERATE THE COMPUTER TO VERIFY MY CAR WAS UNDER THE RECALL & CALL BACK ANOTHER DAY. HOW COME I COULD VERIFY THE SAME DAY ON MY PHONE & THE DEALER COULD NOT? NOW, I NEED TO TAKE MY WIFE TO THE HOSPITAL & WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTACT THE DEALER UNTIL LATER. SO TWO COMPLAINTS; NO REMEDY NOTIFICATION & DELAY BY THE LOCAL DEALER.

TAKATA RECALL

(TOYOTA CASE # [XXX]) - ON 7/14/2017, I PHONED THE TOYOTA PHONE NUMBER LISTED ON THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT, INDICATING THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A "SAFETY RECALL" BEGINNING 2009, REQUIRING THE "SOUND INSULATOR SSC (17T0C90C)" TO BE REPLACED (SEE ATTACHED LETTER -TO FOLLOW). ALTHOUGH THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE REPLACED IT "ON 4-8-2009, ORDER # 0913552", I DON'T RECALL THIS TO BE TRUE BECAUSE I DO NOT RECALL EVER RECEIVING ANY MAIL REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I REQUESTED REPRESENTATIVE [XXX], TO PROVIDE ME WITH SUCH DOCUMENTATION. SHE THEN SAID THAT THE RECALL TIME PERIOD ENDED AND THAT I HAD ONLY 6-12 MONTHS TO TELL THEM THAT THIS REPLACEMENT WAS DEFECTIVE. AS PER THE DOCUMENTATION, THE DRIVER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETECT THIS UNLESS CHECKED BY THE SERVICE DEPT. IT WAS DETERMINED ON 5-17-2017 TO BE DEFECTIVE, NEEDING REPLACEMENT WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A PERIODIC OIL CHANGE (SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT - TO FOLLOW). I ASKED [XXX] TO HAVE HER SUPERVISOR REVIEW OUR TAPED CONVERSATION AND CONTACT ME WITH THE APPROPRIATE REPLACEMENT. IT APPEARS THAT EVEN IF THEY CAN SUBSTANTIATE THAT THEY REPLACED IT BACK IN 2009, MY CONTENTION THAT IT IS ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO POSE AN ARBITRARY 6-12 MONTH CUT OFF PERIOD FOR A REPLACEMENT AT NO CHARGE TO THE OWNER. AS OF THIS WRITING, I DID NOT GET A CALL BACK OR EVEN AN E-MAIL RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA. PLEASE INTERVENE ON MY BEHALF BECAUSE A "SAFETY RECALL" ISSUE MUST BE ADHERED TO BY LAW AND IF THE ONE PUT IN AS A REPLACEMENT (LIKE THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL), THEN TOYOTA IS LIABLE AND RESPONSIBLE TO REPLACE THAT DEFECTIVE ONE TOO.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE, AND CONTACTED BURIEN TOYOTA TO HAVE THE FIX PERFORMED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG WAS "ON BACK-ORDER" AND THAT I SHOULD CALL BACK IN 5-6 WEEKS. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS FIX IS BEING PERFORMED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THE RECALL NOTICE CALLS THIS AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" AND SAYS THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY CAR. IF THE RECALLED PART FAILS, IT CAN "RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." WHY IS TOYOTA TAKING 5-6 WEEKS AFTER SENDING US THE NOTICE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? AM I SUPPOSED TO QUIT DRIVING MY CAR FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS WHILE THEY ORDER A PART THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN FOR MONTHS TO BE DEFECTIVE? THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE.

TAKATA RECALL; I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON 2-22-17. I CALLED THE SUBURBAN TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND RECEIVED LITTLE INFORMATION. I WAS TOLD TO CALL BACK IN A MONTH OR TWO AND MAYBE THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THIS RECALL IS SEVERAL YEARS OLD . WHY AM I JUST NOW BEING NOTIFIED? I. WHEN THE RECALL WAS FIRST ANNOUNCED I CHECKED TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE WAS ON THE LIST AND IT WAS NOT. I RECEIVED MY NOTIFICATION ON 2-22-17.IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT LESS THAN 15% OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A CAR CONTAINING AN EXPLOSIVE DEVICE THAT COULD RUPTURE ANY TIME CONDITIONS ARE RIGHT. TOYOTA DOES NOT SEEM TO BE OVERLY CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY OR ANYONE ELSE'S.

TAKATA RECALL. STILL NO SAFE FIX FROM TOYOTA. I GUESS OUR LIVES ARE NOT IMPORTANT TO THIS COMPANY. WE HAVE NO AIRBAG ISSUE AT THIS TIME.

TAKATA RECALL. CONTINUE TO CALL DEALERSHIP EVERY MONTH: THERE ARE NO AVAILABLE RECALL AIR BAG REPLACEMENTS AND NO ETA OF RECALL AIR BAG REPLACEMENTS. LOSING SIDE PASSENGER SEAT FOR A SAFETY RECALL FOR A YEAR IS UNACCEPTABLE.

I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THE COMPANY (TOYOTA) HAS NOT DECIDED WHAT PARTS NEED TO BE REPLACED.

LOOKING ONLINE I SEE OTHER YARIS OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE, AND OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, AND SOME RECALLS. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL A DEFECT IN ENGINEERING THAT SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR YARIS ALSO. TOYOTA RESPONDED WITH AN OFFER TO PAY $200 TO ASSIST IN GETTING IT REPAIRED OR A SPECIAL OFFER TO BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA NEW - I TOOK NEITHER OPTION BELIEVING THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR FREE REPAIR, NOT COST ME $300 PLUS. *TR

LAST WEEK THE AIRBAG SAFETY LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2007 YARIS. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC IT CAN BE ONE OF FOUR SAFETY ISSUES ON THE VEHICLE. BASED ON THE CODE THAT CAME UP ON THE INSPECTION. SINCE THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THIS REPAIR WOULD BE CHARGED TO ME. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND OR FAULTY PARTS AND SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AND NOT BE IGNORED BY TOYOTA. CORPORATE TOYOTA WILL ONLY TELL ME MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE AIRBAG IS ONLY UNDER WARRANTY FOR 5 YEARS OR 60,000 MILES. AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS AND FAULTY PARTS SHOULD BE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE CAR. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE UNDER A RECALL. I'M TOLD THE SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS WILL MOST LIKELY NOT WORK PROPERLY AS THIS SAFETY LIGHT IS ON. MY MECHANIC HAS NO IDEA OF THE COST OF THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT CAN BE ONE OF FOUR THINGS INCLUDING A CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. AGAIN THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IN NO WAY COULD BE IMPACTED BY MY DRIVING OR HOW THE CAR IS MAINTAINED. WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR TOYOTA TO CREATE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO DIE OR BE INJURED? HOW DO WE GO ABOUT GETTING THIS LOOKED AT AND A RECALL ISSUED? *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: MY NAME IS [XXX] ,RESIDENT OF GURABO, PUERTO RICO. THE REASON OF THIS LETTER IS BECAUSE I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM AND I NEED TO KNOW HOW YOU CAN HELP ME. I AM PROPRIETOR OF A CAR TOYOTA YARIS OF YEAR 2007, CLEAR GREEN COLOR. AT DAWN OF THE PAST MONDAY MARCH 17, 2008 THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE IN MY RESIDENCE APPARENTLY BY A SHORT CIRCUIT. THE VEHICLE ALREADY TURNED A YEAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. I PROCEED TO MAKE A CLAIM TO THE INSURANCE AGENCY. THE INSURANCE COMPANY SENT A ELECTROMECHANICAL EXPERT TO VERIFY MY CAR ON APRIL 8, 2008. THE ELECTROMECHANICAL EXPERT VERIFIED THE CAR, BUT HE CANNOT DETERMINATE FROM WHERE THE FAILURE CAME, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE BY THE PART AIRBAG OF THE PASSENGER AND BY THE LATERAL CENTER OF THE SIDE OF THE DRIVER. THAT WAS, TWO ISOLATE FIRES. THE ELECTROMECHANICAL DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE NEVER HAS BEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT NOR HAS BEEN ALTERED SINCE THE VAHICLE IS NEW OF FACTORY. THEREFORE, THE ELECTROMECHANICAL EXPERT DETERMINED THAT IT A FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER. BY SUCH REASON, I LET KNOW MY CASE TO KNOW IN WHAT FORM SOMEONE CAN HELP ME. I AM A DISABLED PERSON THAT I NEED AN AUTOMOBILE TO ATTEND CONTINUOUS MADICAL APPOINTMENTS AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY INFORMED ME THAT THEY CANNOT MAKE ME ANY REIMBURSEMENT BY THE MONNEY ALREADY PAID BY AN ENTIRE YEAR AND IN ADDITION, THEY INFORMED ME THAT I MUST CONTINUE PAYING THE VEHICLE UNTIL AS MUCH THE INSURANCE SETTLES THE ACCOUNT TO THE BANK.
