I have a Toyota camery 2013. I have no accident at all since I bought this car. But about 1 year ago, my airbag light is on automatically with on reason. I felt my life is in danger because if there is a collision happens, my airbag wont pump out. I have visited to different car dealor. They said the wire circuit might be wrong since they tried to switch airbag modules or the sensor nothing works so far. I assume the airbag which is the key component for our drivers' safety should be more robust than what I experienced.

The airbag safety light has come on and remained on for 2 weeks the dealership told me it's a failed sensor. I have never been on a car crash. The airbag sensor is expected to remain functional for the life of the vehicle. Otherwise, my airbag might deploy unexpectedly or fail to deploy when I need them.

My airbag light came on. I contacted Toyota regarding this issue and I was told they have already fixed the issue and it is out of warranty so it is my problem now. I don't see how they can skirt their responsibility. They were the last ones dealing with the airbags and maybe what they did was not a complete fix. Everything on my steering wheel will not work; horn, cruise control, phone, radio volume. I do believe my horn is a safety issue. Thank you for your help in these matters.

Unexpected acceleration on January 30, 2017, at 7:50 am, my car experienced ua in my office parking lot at 4917 waters edge drive, raleigh, nc 27606 while backing into a parking space. My car increased speed, knocking down a wooden retaining wall and attempting to climb a hill. I then after several attempts was able to placed the car in drive only to have it shoot across the parking lot, T-boning a car entering and knocking it on the sidewalk while I continued onto the yard. I was finally able to placed car in drive and the motor continued to rev until after several attempts was able to shut it down. Of note, none of my car's airbags deployed. However, the other vehicle's both side passenger air bags deployed. I went on line and reported my problem to Toyota with pictures and police report the next day. They asked for a written consent to allow them to get the data recorder. After numerous calls to follow-up, on May 12 I received a response that when they drove the vehicle everything was fine.
