I have A2003 Matrix since new, the airbag warning light on the dash has remained on for years, because of limited funds can not go to dealership and pay $$$$ for service fee, diagnostic fee, and parts and labor for someone to "work" their way through the problem over several visits. I now however after several years of state inspections, have to spend this money in order to pass inspection. I was informed that airbag warning lights now have to operate properly in order for a vehicle to pass inspection. Upon googling any recall information online I discovered hundreds of postings of similar complaints, as well as two complaints on this website of airbags that did not deploy during crashes. Did they have similar dash lighting malfunctions as mine??

The 2003 Toyota Matrix I was driving hit the back of a pick-up truck when the brakes locked up and the vehicle began to skid. The Matrix went partially under the truck, causing severe damage to the front end of the Matrix. None of the airbags in the 2003 Toyota Matrix deployed. Thanks to the fact that I was wearing my seatbelt, I received only minor injuries.
