I had a wreck and I ran into another car going about 25 mph and my air bag did not deploy. I hit someone from behind, I thought I hit the brake but it did not stop and acted like I had the accelerator on. So I am asking about air bag & brake problems

Takata recall this recall came out in may, and I cannot even have anyone sit in the front seat, as there is a risk if there is a front impact that metal shards will go into the occupants face from the airbag.

When the passenger seat is occupied by an adult and the charging port is used, the passenger side airbag deactivates. Even though the seat belt is fastened and the passenger seat is occupied, the fasten seat belt light comes on, the passenger airbag shows off, and the airbag light on the dash comes on. I took it to the Toyota dealership and they could not replicate the problem. I plugged in a charger for a cell phone in order to replicate the problem. The service adviser saw the lights come on. The service adviser contacted Toyota assistance and was told that they are aware of the issue and have no current fix for the problem. This is a safety issue that deactivates the passenger side airbag on the vehicle. They mentioned that they have approximately 20 complaints for this issue, yet they are not able to fix the problem. The only solution given at this point is to not use the charging ports while the passenger seat is occupied.

I recently purchased my car on the 4th of November 2015, first everything was fine; but now when I drive, at the most random times the alarm for the passenger side air bag goes off (while no one is sitting there) and also if someone is sitting in the passenger side, it will read "airbag off".

On Wednesday, July 30, 2014 I was driving on I-5 South bound, just before cannon road exit. Traffic was going at 35-40 mph, however, at times coming to complete stops. Traffic was very slow ahead so I brake and came near a complete stop. I looked in the rearview mirror and noticed the car behind me approaching at a very high speed, I was constrained on both sides and unable to move to avoid an accident. The car rear-ended me at a high speed and within seconds pushed me at a high speed into the car in front of me, I did brace for the impact but the seatbelt never tensioned or locked and no airbags deployed in my vehicle even though my front end was impacted severely. I put my arms up and twisted my body to the left in order to protect myself. I used my own body as a protection. I am currently being treated for whiplash and shoulder pain due to no active or passive system in the car being deployed. I consider this a very serious safety concern and want to ensure it is addressed as soon as possible to prevent others from having to go through an accident with no active or passive restraints working...updated 12/09/15 updated 08/28/2017

Toyota Corolla was traveling down the road at approx. 30 to 35 miles per hour, when another older small car came through an intersection and hit the Corolla on the driver side, smashing in the doors and causing the Corolla to spin around the intersection and face the opposite direction. Side doors and quarter panels were damaged as well as wheels, plus rear axle assembly was broken causing the rear passenger wheel to be bent at an angle. The car was not able to be driven from the scene. At the time of the accident no airbags were deployed. The driver of the vehicle was taken by ambulance to the hospital for injuries. Most injuries to the head, neck, arm, side and legs healed after three weeks, accept for a should injury causing difficulty in rotating arm. Further mris and or surgery may be needed if injury and inflammation does not heal. Concern is that airbags did not deploy, and that now with new sensors being added during the $10,000 repair job, concern is that the airbags themselves were defective.
