2010 Toyota Camry air bags problems

“The contact's daughter owned a 2010 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that after his daughter had approached a stop, she depressed the accelerator pedal and was T-boned on the front driver-side door. In addition, the crash impact was approximately 60 MPH and had thrown the contact's daughter into a ditch after spinning out. The check engine light was illuminated. The contact stated that no air bags deployed. The vehicle was towed to an unknown location. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was deemed a total loss. The contact daughter sustained lacerations from shattered glass and sought medical attention. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.”

“The air bag system has a fault and it makes it so the passenger air bag light is always reading as off, as if there isn’t a passenger there. It also has the passenger seatbelt light flashing all the time.”

“My 2010 Toyota Camry LE dashboard is physically sticky, extremely shiny, & material of dashboard is melting & breaking down. It produces fumes at higher temperatures & seems to add fog to glass.The entire dashboard material is impacted. It has drip marks, bubbling, and erosion & getting worse. The area where the passenger airbag would deploy from is impacted, as well as overall integrity of physical dashboard across entire dashboard. The vehicle is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of others is being put at risk by the following: Multiple significant safety issues for driver & passengers from dashb1) visibility issues from extreme glare onto windshield result in blinding and/or distractiing driver, 2) Integrity of dashboard material is compromised (spongy, sticky, breaking down & worse with heat in normal conditions of use) 3) the dashboard is impaired where airbag would deploy from, 4) exposure to chemical fumes and particles from dashboard materials continues as it breaks down. I had Toyota Dealership Service Manager to view & inspect this dashboard in person on [XXX]. The service manager sat in driver seat and observed problem with extreme…”

“SRS WARNING LIGHT AND TRAC CONTROL WARNING LIGHT AND SEAT BELT WARNINGS FOR BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER FLASHING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND COULDNT FIGURE OUT THE CODES. I FIGURED OUT THAT THIS WAS BLOWING FUSE 29 ON THE CAR AS SOON AS THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON. I WENT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP, ALI AUTOMOTIVE IN SANTA CLARA, CA. THEY READ THE CODES AND THE FAULTS DISPLAYED ARE THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR FAULT AND PASSENGER CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FAULT (IF I RECALL CORRECTLY). AS THE AIR BAGS ARE NO LONGER ACTIVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE FAULT CAME ON WHILE JUST AFTER TURNING INTO PARKING SPOT IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE CORNER OF LAWRENCE AND PROSPECT. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THEY NEED TO CHECK THE VEHICLE BUT IT WAS LIKELY THE AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING IS SHORTING AS THEY'VE REPLACED THIS ON A NUMBER OF CARS. CHECKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING ON SOME MODELS BUT I DIDNT SEE ONE OF THE CAMRY. ALSO A NUMBER OF REPORTS ONLINE OF CONSUMERS CHANGING THE CLOCKSPRINGS. SO THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON COMPLAINT AND A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE ASSIST TO INVESTIGATE ASAP. THIS CAR IS ALSO USED BY OUR TEENAGE SON AND I'D LIKE TO ENSURE THAT IT IS SAFE. THANK YOU.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.”

“"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. MY STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. ONLY SMALL PIECES OF THE AIR BAG WERE SEEN AT THE EDGE OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I DID NOT TAKE A PHOTO. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED SO THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME DOCUMENTATION WITH INSURANCE COMPANY. I HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON MY CAR 10 DAYS EARLIER AND I BELIEVE MY TIRE PRESSURE MAINTENANCE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY CAR WHEN I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT.”
