2018 Toyota Camry

There’s been a few times when I started my car to head to work and something appears on the dash board that reads ( Air bag malfunction) Then it’s gives me a hard time to steer the car. This has happened ample times. So when it does happen I have to shut the car off and then turn it back on so that the issue on the dash board disappears. I do this 2 to 3 times until it clears. (Very weird).. Every time it happens it’s when I turn my car on to head out to either go to work or do errands. Etc. But i usually shut the car off immediately when I see that it appears on the dash board. When I do , it usually goes away and I can again take control of the steering wheel and the pressure on the steering wheel go back to being normal and manageable. But I’ve noticed that when it does come on there’s a tremendous change in the steering Ps. It reads …. Airbag malfunction.

I was rear ended when I was braking hard to avoid hitting a dog in the street (where I live you can be sued for running over/injuring a dog). My car speed was about 10 mph give or take, and I was rear ended by a distracted driver (who admitted to using antidepressants on a daily basis) who I believe was going at least 45 mph. My car was pushed forward at least 6 ft and no airbags were deployed. I thought I died because I saw a flash of bright light enveloping my entire vision while my chest and forehead were whipped forward harshly and almost touched my steering wheel. My whiplash injuries are moderately severe and have actually put a few discs along my entire spine and cervical area off-center, continuing to cause extreme back/neck pain and discomfort. I have sharp intermittent pain in my head as well. Had the airbags went off from the steering wheel I strongly believe I would not be in this much pain, having to take time off work to seek treatment a few times a week. I am confused as to why the airbags did not deploy when my car was crashed into behind at such a high speed when viewing footage. Had this happened on the freeway I have no doubt I would be dead from a broken neck or in the hospital as a 'living vegetable' from a cracked spine. Toyota should be making airbag deployment in all types of accidents a priority. Individuals are just as prone to sustaining life threatening injuries when rear ended as during a frontal collision.

We were struck in the rear by a driver and pushed into another car in front of us. The Airbags never deployed during the accident, seatbelts did not constrain us and the driver seats snapped backwards injuring passengers in the front and in the back of the car. Back seat passengers had life-threatening injuries and front passengers had severe injuries.

ON 9/24/20 WE EXPERIENCED A HEAD ON COLLISION IN WHICH BOTH OCCUPANTS EXPERIENCED INJURIES FROM THE SEATBELT (PASSENGER HAD A FRACTURED STERNUM), AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ONCOMING CAR CROSSED THE CENTERLINE ON A CURVE, BOTH CARS WERE MOVING. I WOULD DISPUTE THE SPEED OF THE OTHER CAR AS I BELIEVE IT WAS GOING MUCH FASTER THAN STATED IN THE POLICE REPORT. OUR VEHICLE MAY VERY WELL HAVE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED (TOYOTA HAS BEEN CALLED TO CONFIRM), WE ARE THANKFUL TO BE HERE, BUT FEEL THE INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN MINIMIZED IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. OTHER VEHICLE HAD AIRBAGS DEPLOY, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WALKED AWAY.

SEVERE HIGH IMPACT FRONT AND REAR COLLISION, NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. VEHICLE HYDROPLANED, STRUCK CONCRETE CENTER BARRIER, SPUN THREE TIMES ACROSS 3 LANES OF HIGHWAY AND HIT GUARDRAIL IN REAR. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I HAVE ONLY UNLOADED FRONT PICTURES, SITE WOULD NOT ALLOW MORE THAN 5 PICTURES. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR THE REAR DAMAGE PICTURES

MY SON, [XXX], HYDROPLANED IN HEAVY RAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HIT THE CONCRETE MEDIAN AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE IMPACT WAS VERY HARD AND INVOLVED THE FRONT AND DRIVER SIDE AND SUSTAINED HEAVY DAMAGE. THE FRONT NOR SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND THEREFORE HIS HEAD COLLIDED WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. HE SUSTAINED INJURIES TO INCLUDE A CONCUSSION AND A TORN AVAR LIGAMENT IN IS NECK. HIS INJURIES HAVE HIM INCAPACITATED.

I PURCHASED A TOYOTA CAMRY ON 2/17/20. TWO WEEKS LATER THE SRS AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT STARTED TO ILLUMINATE AND THE REAR SEATBELT ALARM CONTINOUSLY SOUND OFF ALERTING ME TO FASTEN SEATBELTS WHEN NO ONE WAS SITTING BACK THERE. I TRIED TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT WAS TOLD IT HAD TO BE TAKEN TO TOYOTA. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA, I FOUND OUT THE WIRING HARNESS HAD BEEN TORN AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $4,900.00 TO FIX THE ISSUE. I WAS ALSO TOLD IF I WAS EVER IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG MORE THAN LIKELY WOULDN'T DEPLOY. SINCE DISCOVERING THIS ISSUE, I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING THE VVEHICLEDUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE.

WE MET WITH A CAR ACCIDENT ON 11/11/2019 MORNING. OUR CAR GOT BADLY HIT ON THE FRONT SIDE AND HAS BEEN DECLARED TOTALED BY INSURANCE. VIN [XXX]. THIS IS A TOYOTA CAMRY 2018. THE MAIN REASON WE WENT WITH THIS CAR IS THE SAFETY THAT WAS ADVERTISED. HOWEVER, DURING THIS CRASH NONE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED FROM THE CAR AND HELPED MY WIFE (THE DRIVER) FROM GETTING THE SHOCK. SHE ALSO GOT NECK STRAIN DURING THIS INCIDENT. IF THIS DUE TO THE FAULTY AIR BAG, IT MAKES ME ANNOYED AS MY 8 YEAR SON WAS ALSO ON THE CAR WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. IT MAKES ME WONDER WHETHER THIS CAR IS REALLY THAT SAFE AS IT IS GETTING ADVERTISED AND REQUIRE YOU HELP IN REGISTERING THIS COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA TO SEE WHAT WOULD BE NEXT STEPS.

TAMARA RECALL I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS HIT BY AN SUV GOING 60+ MPH. THE IMPACT SLAMMED ME IN TO THE TWO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. MY TRUNK WAS SMASHED AND MY FRONT END WAS MESSED UP. MY RADIATOR WAS CRACKED AND MY FAN WAS CRACKED. OVERALL MY CAR WAS TOTALED.... YET MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH IS WHY I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION ALONG WITH A VARIETY OF OTHER INJURIES.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY, A DEER RAN IN FRONT OF THE CAR CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. TWO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I SAW A FIRE FLASH FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG AND RECEIVED A SERIOUS BURN ON MY ARM. MY JACKET SLEEVE MELTED AS WELL. IT'S BEEN OVER A WEEK, AND THE BURN HAS STILL NOT HEALED. SO THANKFUL MY EYES WERE NOT BURNED!
