1999 Toyota Camry Airbags Problems

Your airbag warning light stays on continuously and doesn't turn off. This indicates a problem with your airbag system that needs to be diagnosed. A technician will need to read the airbag system's error codes to identify the specific issue and repair it.

Your car was in an accident and had its airbags replaced, but you're concerned the replacement airbags might be defective or unsafe. You want Toyota to inspect them by serial number to verify they're safe, but no one has addressed your request. Without a professional inspection, there's no way to know if the replacement airbags will function properly in a crash.

Your airbag warning light on the dashboard blinks on and off. This indicates a problem with your airbag system that needs to be diagnosed. A mechanic will need to scan your vehicle's computer to identify what's triggering the warning.

Your airbag warning light on the dashboard keeps flashing on and off. You've had it checked multiple times at authorized Toyota dealers, and they've temporarily fixed it by adjusting wires under the driver's seat, but the light returns after a few months. Because this problem keeps coming back unresolved, you're concerned whether your airbags will actually deploy in a crash. The fix will likely require a permanent repair to the airbag system's wiring or sensor connections, possibly replacing a faulty airbag sensor or control module.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

EVERY TIME THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT IS MOVED FORWARD TO ALLOW PASSENGERS IN OR OUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN THE VEHICLE STARTS BLINKING. THE LIGHT WILL BLINK FOR AROUND 15 DAYS BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF IF THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT MOVED FORWARD FOR PASSENGERS DURING THAT TIME. THE NEXT TIME THE PASSENGER SEAT IS MOVED FORWARD FOR PASSENGERS, THE CYCLE STARTS OVER AGAIN.

I WAS AT A STANDSTILL AND REARENDED BY ANOTHER DRIVER GOING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH AND HE DID NOT BRAKE. THE SEAT BELT DID NOT ENGAGE NOR DID THE AIRBAGS. BOTH CARS TOTALED. TRUNK HOOD POPPED, ALSO REAR PANELS BENT. I SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY EITHER ON WINDSHIELD OR STEERING WHEEL . MY FIRM BELIEF IS THE SEATBELT SHOULD HAVE ENGAGED AND AVOIDED THE HEAD INJURY. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING INTO STARVED ROCK NATIONAL PARK IN ILLINOIS AROUND 4 P.M. ON AUGUST 20TH, 2014. SHE DRIVING ON THE ENTRANCE DRIVE AT THE SPEED OF 10 MPH. THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED RAMPING UP IN SPEED CAUSING THE MY DAUGHTER TO START BRAKING. THE CAR CONTINUED GAINING SPEED AND THE BRAKES WERE UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AS THE CAR WAS GOING FASTER, MY DAUGHTER ENTERED THE PARKS VISITOR CENTER PARKING LOT. WHILE STILL TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, MY DAUGHTER HIT A PARKED CAR TO THE RIGHT, JUST CLIPPING IT CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE HIT CAR'S TAILLIGHT. HER CAR HIT A CAR TO THE LEFT THEN HIT A PARKED TAHOE WHICH STOPPED MY DAUGHTERS CAR AFTER BEING PUSHED 4 PARKING SPACES. WE COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA CORP. THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND SAID IT WAS MECHANICALLY SOUND. THEY ADMITTED AFTER FURTHER DISCUSSION THE ACCELERATOR CABLE WAS FROZEN. THEY SAID THIS HAPPENED FROM AN IMPACT BEHIND THE BATTERY, PROBLEM IS THAT THERE WAS NO IMPACT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS UNTIL THE IMPACT OF HITTING THE TAHOE. MY DAUGHTER WAS FIGHTING TO STOP FROM THE ENTRANCE DRIVE. THE TOYOTA REP. ALSO STATED THAT THEIR INSPECTION TEAM RELEASED THE CABLE AND SAID IT WORKED FINE. THE REP. COULD NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION REGARDING THE TIMING OF THE CABLE BEING FROZEN. THEY ARE ACCUSING MY DAUGHTER OF ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE DUE TO FACT THAT IT IS A MECHANICAL ACCELERATOR, IT WAS THE ONLY WAY THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. TOYOTA CLAIMS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE IMPACT WAS SLIGHTLY OFF CENTER OF THE FRONT THAT THEY DID NOT DEPLOY. LOOKING AT THE DAMAGE INCLUDING THE RADIATOR BEING PUSHED INTO THE ENGINE, THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. TOYOTA FEELS THAT OUR CAR IS FINE AND THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE MANUFACTURING OR THE DESIGN. PLEASE HELP. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 45 MPH, WHEN ANOTHER CAR RAN A STOP SIGN. I T-BONED THE OTHER CAR AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF. MY BREAST BONE WAS BROKEN DUE TO MY BODY'S IMPACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM ONLY REPORTING THIS INCIDENT NOW BECAUSE OF AN ARTICLE I READ ABOUT AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING DURING ACCIDENTS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THAT MORNING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE, I-285 EAST, IT WAS AROUND 7:30 AM AND TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER. TRAFFIC BEGAN MOVING AND I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES AND I HIT HIM. THE NOSE OF MY CARE WAS SMASHED SO HARD THAT THE HOOD CRUMPLED INTO A TEPEE AND WAS PUSHED BACK INTO THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING THE GLASS TO CRACK. I COULDN'T OPEN MY DOORS BECAUSE THE IMPACT HAD PUSHED THE DOORS BACK SO THEY OVERLAPPED THE BACK QUARTER PANELS AND WERE JAMMED. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. THIS WAS A DEAD ON FRONT IMPACT ACCIDENT IN A PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW CAR AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE INCH OF THE FRONT END THAT DIDN'T TAKE THE IMPACT SO THERE IS NO WAY IT "MISSED THE SENSORS". THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR ENDED UP BEING OVER $10,000.00. THE AIRBAGS SERIOUSLY MALFUNCTIONED AND I WAS LUCKY THAT I WASN'T INJURED.*JB

COMPLAINT VIA E-MAIL. HAD LEARNED THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATED SUDDEN ACCELERATION IN THE 2002 AND 2003 TOYOTA CAMRY. I EXPERIENCED THIS EFFECT RECENTLY WITH MY 1999 CAMRY. THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE INSIDE THE GARAGE OF MY APARTMENT BUILDING. ALTHOUGH NO INJURIES OCCURRED, MY CAR AND ANOTHER CAR SUFFERED SOME BODY DAMAGE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER , BUT THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS BACKING INTO HIS PARKING SPACE WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD.

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHED ON/OFF BACK IN AUG. 2003. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED AND THOUGHT THAT WAS THE END OF THE PROBLEM. ALMOST A YEAR LATER IN JULY 2004 MY AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING ON/OFF AGAIN, I THEN RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE ONCE AGAIN IT WAS "FIXED OR REPAIRED" NOW, TWO MONTHS LATER I'M HAVING AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK TOYOTA KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND IT'S A REAL CONCERN TO THINK THAT IF THERE'S A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT OR INNCODENT THE AIR BAG(S ) MAY NOT DEPLOY. I'M FRUSTRATED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND AM FILING A COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT MAYBE SOMEONE WILL LISTEN OR PAY ATTENTION. THIS COULD GET TO BE A COSTLY ISSUE THAT NEVER GETS RESOLVED. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE WITH A FRUSTRATING PROBLEM.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, ANOTHER MOTORIST PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF THE CONSUMER. THE CONSUMER T-BONED THE OTHER MOTORIST. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE CONSUMER SUSTAINED A STERNUM AND THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED SEVERE BACK AND NECK INJURIES. *JB

(3) VEHICLE WAS TOTALED BY INSURANCE COMPANY. COULD NOT FIND CONTACT INFORMATION ON MANUFACTURER TO MAKE NOTIFCATION OF DEFECT.

PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY. WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT AND ASSEMBLY. SINCE THEN, THE LIGHT JUST COMES ON RANDOMLY AND STAYS ON UNTIL I TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. EACH TIME, THEY FIX "SOMETHING". SEVERAL OF THE TIMES, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE WIRES UNDERNEATH THE SEAT COME DISCONNECTED OVER TIME. THEY THEN PROCEED TO "FIX" IT. HOWEVER, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN SEVERAL MONTHS. ONE TIME, THEY SAID IT WAS A LOOSE CONNECTOR FROM THE STEERING. ALL TIMES, THE DEALERSHIP HAS FIXED THIS WITHOUT CHARGING ME. THIS LAST TIME, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE LOOSE CABLE UNDER THE SEAT AGAIN, BUT BECAUSE THE PRIOR PROBLEM WAS NOT THIS SAME THING (E.G. THE STEERING CONNECTION), IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTLY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $200 TO HAVE IT FIXED. I AM VERY DISSAPOINTED. THIS IS OBVIOULSY A RECURRING ISSUE. AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THESE KINGS OF PROBLEMS. WHEN WILL THEIR BE A RECALL OF THIS? IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER IS OBVIOUSLY NOT ABLE TO PERMANENTLY FIX THIS PROBLEM (AFTER 6 TRYS, YOU'D THINK THEY WOULD FIGURE IT OUT). I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY EVERY TIME I NEED IT FIXED.
