2005 Toyota Camry Airbags Problems

Your steering wheel airbag deployed suddenly while driving at 15 mph on a normal road with no accident, impact, or warning lights — hitting you in the face and nearly causing a crash. You sustained burns on your hand and pain in your head and neck. Toyota inspected the vehicle but declined responsibility, claiming it was not a recall issue.

Your airbag warning light on the dashboard is staying on constantly, even though you don't know what caused it. This means your airbag system isn't working properly and won't deploy in a crash. You'll need to have the airbag system scanned with a diagnostic tool to find out what's triggering the warning.

I HAVE FRONT SIDE AND P. SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR NOT WORKING ALL OF SUDDEN. IT REFLECTS AIR BAG SIGN ON INTO MY DASHBOARD.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 - 65 MPH. I AM A CAUTIOUS DRIVER AND AM ALWAYS AWARE OF THE CONDITIONS AROUND ME. SUDDENLY, MY CAR JUST TOOK OFF LIKE A SHOT. IT WAS GOING AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT. THERE ARE DARK SKID MARKS ON THE ROAD FROM MY BRAKING. I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT, BUT THE NEXT THING I KNEW I HAD FLIPPED INTO THE MEDIAN. I FLIPPED TWO TIMES IN THE AIR BEFORE CRASHING, HOOD FIRST, ON THE MEDIAN. I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS. I WAS MERELY DRIVING, IN THE SLOW LANE, AT A SAFE SPEED. IT IS A MIRACLE I AM ALIVE, AND EVEN MORE-SO THAT I WASN'T INJURED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AT THE END OF THE ACCIDENT, MY SEAT BELT WAS UNLATCHED. I AM GOING TO RECEIVE A CITATION FOR THIS. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON 2005 CAMRY'S SINCE THIS HAPPENED, AND HAVE SEEN THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED FROM THIS FAULT AND I NEARLY WAS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY TOYOTA DIDN'T WARN US OF THIS. I KNOW THE VIN NUMBER SAYS NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THIS MODEL, BUT RESEARCH TELLS ME THAT INVOLVED RESEARCH IN SELF-ACCELERATING GAS PEDALS REPORT 'DISTURBING EVIDENCE OF PROBLEMS POTENTIALLY AFFLICTING THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM GOVERNING THE GAS PEDAL, PROBLEMS THAT TOYOTA AND THE HIGHWAY SAFETY AGENCY HAVE SO FAR DISMISSED.' (HUFFPOST, 1/22/12) I AM NOT A 'SUE' PERSON, BUT I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS FLAW. THIS WAS A TERRIFYING, HORRIBLE, UNNECESSARY CRASH. I DON'T KNOW WHEN/IF I'LL GET THE COURAGE TO GO BEHIND THE WHEEL AGAIN. IT REPLAYS OVER AND OVER IN MY MIND. THE TERROR IS IMMENSE.

TAKATA RECALL: AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKED POSITION, I BUMPED THE REAR OF THE CAR INTO A STATIONARY POLE. AFTER THE COLLISION OCCURRED, NO AIRBAGS OPENED AND THE "AIR BAG" LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON. ADDITIONALLY THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG" LIGHT TURNED FROM "ON" TO "OFF". NO DAMAGE WAS CAUSED EXCEPT TO THE BACK BUMPER OF THE CAR.

ALL TOYOTA AIRBAGS SHOULD BE QUICKLY CHECKED AND FIXED.....PICKING YEARS IS AVOIDING DOING THE RIGHT THING AND BEING CHEAP WITH A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I SHOWED THE LEESBURG, VIRGINIA TOYOTA ON 6/29 AT 1030AM AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE $44.00 TO GET IT CHECKED! WHY MAKING MONEY ON TOYOTA ISSUE. SHOULD BE COURTESY CHECK AND FIXED IMMEDIATELY SINCE MILLIONS OF AIRBAGS ARE BEING RECALLED! PLEASE CALL OR E-MAIL FOR CLEAR HELP TODAY!

PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG LOOKS LIKE IT IS READY TO OPEN UP & DEPLOY-STARTED OUT ON A SMALLER PORTION, BUT GETS WORSE BY THE DAY. POSSIBLY DUE TO THE HEAT HERE IN FL STATE?? I HAVE OWNED TOYOTA CAMRY'S SINCE THE 1990'S; LIVED IN NY STATE AND FL STATE, & NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS. THIS IS QUITE DISTURBING & SCARY-SHOULD I CALL THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER & SET UP AN APPOINTMENT? I DO NOT FEEL THAT IS IN MY 'FAULT', & THEREFORE, SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR-PLEASE ADVISE, THANK YOU.

THIS VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG IS CLEARLY STARTING TO PROTRUDE ON THE DASH. WORRIED IT MIGHT DEPLOY IF I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR WITH ME.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL PLACES AND NOBODY CAN TELL MEWHAT'S WRONG

APPROX 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING THE AIR BAG WAS NOT WORKING.

I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS WITH THE CAR AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG IS OKAY. WHAT SHOULD I DO. *TR

WESTBOUND ON I-285, MIDDLE LANE, A CAR STOPPED TOTALLY IN FRONT OF US, AT DUSK. WE HAD 5-6 VEHICLE LENGTHS BETWEEN US ,BUT MOMENTARILY DID NOT REALIZE THE CAR IN FRONT WAS NOT MOVING, AS SHE DID NOT EVEN PUT ON HER BRAKE LIGHTS. WE BRAKED, HITTING HER IN THE REAR BUMPER. WE WERE NEARLY HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND US, BUT MERCIFULLY, HE WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE FRONT OF HIS RIG TO THE RIGHT LANE BESIDE US. WE REALIZED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THAT OUR AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, EITHER SIDE. THE SEAT BELTS REALLY HELD US. WE CONTACTED TOYOTA REQUESTING THEY PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO SEE IF THE AIRBAGS ARE FUNCTIONAL. WE SENT A CERTIFIED LETTER PER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS 4/16/14. THEIR STATED RESPONSE TIME IS TWO WEEKS, BY LETTER. WE STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM. WHILE THE CAR HAS HAD SOME SMALL FENDER BENDERS ON ITS REAR, IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OF THIS MAGNITUDE.

SEATBELT LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THAT THE SEAT BELTS AND AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK IF THERE IS A CRASH. THERE HAS BEEN NO CRASH OR INCIDENT UP TO THIS POINT. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF EMERGENCY? *JS

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG STAYS OFF FOR A SMALLER ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. (~95LBS). ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THIS IS NORMAL, AND THAT THE ADULT MAY NEED TO PUT ON WEIGHT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR SHOULD TURN ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, OR STAY OFF WITH AN ADULT SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE PASSENGER IS SEATED CORRECTLY. PROBLEM CONTINUES TO PERSIST FOR ADULTS UNDER 95LBS. THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS TOYOTA. APPARENTLY, TOYOTA NOW HAS A TSB OUT - TSB EL005-05 TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL, THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED IN THE VEHICLE. *TR
