“Cruise Contol Quit. Discovered: The Air bag - Clockspring Assembly/Spiral Cable: R&R clock spring assembly has developed an open circuit causing the SRS light to illuminate as well as loss of function of the steering wheel buttons per Heyward Allen Toyota, Athens, Georgia. Diagnostic completed 10/27/26. I see that this has been a recall on prior Toyota Corolla models. Because they have not recalled this ... I must pay $1137 to have it repaired! It's my understanding that when this is not working, the airbag may not engage during an accident and other issues of braking, steering, and the collision assistance mechanisms may also fail.”
“The weekend of April 3rd, I was driving down a two lane road. There was a dip in the road that lead me to overcorrecting. I had then spun out 2 times, and flew me over a ditch, to smack down on to all 4 tires and slide into a duke energy pole. The airbags didn’t deploy at all. With the incident and the areas affected, the airbags should have deployed.”
“I was driving on a two lane state road. Two vehicles we traveling in front of me in the left lane. The further vehicle in left decide to make a sudden stop at a traffic light. The silver sedan behind that vehicle was traveling too close to react appropriately. The sedan avoid the vehicle in front of it and impeded into my lane and collide with my vehicle. My airbags in my 2019 Corolla failed to deploy.”
“I had recalls “repaired”, but my airbags do not work and Bob Howard Toyota told me that they work and that they only check the sensor to make sure the sensor works. My fuel pump was was supposedly replaced but I still experience issues such as stuttering, slight stalling, engine is working harder to produce normal speeds, fuel economy has depleted and I’m loosing 194 mpg after each fuel up. There are no lights on, but I have a code reader that pulls in two issues. I reported to Toyota’s customer service and because they put in the system everything is okay they were unable to do anything.”
“While driving on the highway the airbag sensor light came on. I did not hit anything and air bags did not deploy but the light is on showing some issue but I can not get into dealership to check for sometime. There are other recalls on this issue for this same car but not for my particular VIN. Sure seems like a safety issue that Toyota should check out for free to owners.”
“On February 17, 2024 I was involved in a hit and run. I was T-boned on the passenger side and the front passenger door wouldn't open and no airbags deployed. Later on in February I received a Toyota Airbag Contol Unit Settlement. I haven't ever received an recall information on any recalls for my vehicle.”
