2008 Toyota Camry Airbags Problems

The contact owned a 2008 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH he fell asleep at the wheel. The vehicle crashed into a water drain. There were no warning lights. There were no air bags deployed. There were no major injuries or medical reports filed. The vehicle was destroyed. There was a police report. There were no passengers. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000

I was driving behind a box truck and they made a abrupt stop so I had to as well and I rear ended the truck my brake peddle went all the way to the floor none of my airbags went off not one

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A CITY STREET, MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT IMPACT. MY VISION WAS IMPAIRED BY THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR AND HIT A CURB TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THE IMPACT DID NOT DEPLOY THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION ON JANUARY 27, 2018 WITH A JEEP RANGER IN MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY EXIT ROAD, THE POSTED SPEED WAS 65MPH AND HAD NO TIME TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. AFTER MAKING CONTACT WITH THE JEEP MY CAR THEN WENT INTO A FENCE. THE AIR BAGS IN MY CAMRY NEVER DEPLOYED. AND I HAVE SUFFERED FROM INJURIES AND SIGNIFICANT MEDIAL BILLS AS A RESULT OF THE AIR BAGS FAILURE TO DEPLOY.

JUST FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH AIR BAGS,, MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND WENT VERO BEACH TOYOTA AND THEY'RE NO HELP,, HOW CAN I GET HELP TO FIX THE AIRBAG AND IF POSSIBLE THE DASHBOARD

TAKATA RECALL 2008 CAMRY IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL BUT SHOULD BE. I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG ALMOST SEPARATED MY WRIST FROM MY ARM AND SEVERELY BURNED ME. THE CUT WAS SO DEEP THEY HAD TO REMOVE SKIN FROM ME LEG TO CLOSE IT. I HAVE A HUGE SCAR AND BURN ON MY ARM

DURING AN ACCIDENT IN NOVEMBER OF 2015 I RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THE AIRBAG NOT INFLATING OR THE SEATBELT ENGAGING. I SPOKE WITH THE BODY SHOP AS TO WHY NEITHER SYSTEM WORKED AS DESIGNED, THEY COULD NOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION. THEY BELIEVED THAT THE SENSORS WERE COMPRESSED TO ENGAGE THE AIR BAGS BUT IT DID NOT ENGAGE. THEY ALSO NOTED THAT WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES THE SEATBELTS SHOULD HAVE LOCKED WHICH WOULD HAVE KEPT ME STATIONARY INSTEAD OF ALLOW ME TO HIT THE DRIVER DOOR JAM ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. BOTH VEHICLES WERE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE THAT HIT ME MADE A LEFT TURN INTO MY FRONT LEFT QUARTER PANEL DAMAGING THE ENTIRE PANEL AND PART OF THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. ERROR CODE WAS B1801 - OPEN IN D SQUIB CIRCUIT. THIS INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS WHICH ACTIVATES THE AIRBAG. THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY OR "CLOCK-SPRING" WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER A CALL WITH TOYOTA, THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE IT WITHOUT CHARGE DUE TO OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS THE EXACT PART THAT WAS INVOLVED WITH 6.4 MILLION TOYOTAS OF VARIOUS LINES, INCLUDING CAMRYS. MY TOYOTA WAS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST BASED UPON VIN. AIRBAG WIRING HARNESSES THAT BREAK UNDER NORMAL USAGE LIKE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL SOUND DEFECTIVE. DOES THE ORIGINAL RECALL NEED TO BE REVIEWED AND EXPANDED?

THE CRASH HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT ON MARCH 19TH, 2016. I HAD ENTERED INTO THE PARKING SPOT, BY TURNING RIGHT. THE CAR HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD REVVING NOISE AND BEFORE I COULD EVEN REACT TO IT, THE CAR HAD JUMPED ON TO THE WALKWAY OF THE BUILDING. SINCE I HAD STOPPED, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS PRESSING ON IT REALLY HARD, THE CAR DIDN'T STOP. IT SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND, BUT THEN ACCELERATED ITSELF AGAIN, JUMPED AHEAD ONCE MORE, WENT THROUGH THE AWNING OF A BUSINESS SUITE IN THE BUILDING AND HIT A LIGHT POST. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. AS, I HAD TURNED RIGHT TO ENTER INTO THE PARKING SPOT, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL TURNED TO THE RIGHT AND THE CAR TURNED RIGHT AND WENT PARALLEL TO THE CINDER BLOCK WALL OF THE BUILDING, INSTEAD OF GOING STRAIGHT AND HITTING THE WALL, WHICH COULD HAVE TURNED FATAL FOR ME AND MY CHILD. THIS VEHICAL HAD BEEN RECALLED EARLIER. I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA IN EARLY 2010 FOR "POTENTIAL FLOOR MAT INTERFERENCE WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL (SAFETY RECALL 90L)" AND HAD IT REPAIRED IN MAY 2010, FROM A LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER.

URGENT SAFETY RECALL, (RE. NHTSA RECALL NO. 15V-286 AND 16V-128) PERFORM IMMEDIATELY! DO NOT DRIVE! DEALER HAS NO PARTS AN HAS NO IDEA WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE! SEVERAL THOUSAND OF DOLLARS TO SIT UNUSED IN DRIVEWAY FOR UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME. STRANDED WITH NO TRANSPORTATION IN RURAL AREA! WHAT TO DO? DRIVE AND DIE?

I WAS IN CENTER LANE. DRIVER IN RIGHT LANE CHANGED LANES AND STRUCK MY 08 CAMRY IN PASSENGER SIDE. THIS FORCED MY CAR HEAD FIRST INTO A CONCRETE WALL. A 3RD VEHICLE THEN STRUCK THE DRIVERS DOOR. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE ER BY AMBULANCE. I INCURRED SHOULDER, NECK AND HEAD INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE. CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,600.

MY FAMILY AND I WERE GETTING INTO THE CAR FOR A DAY TRIP AND MY FATHER IN-LAW, WHO IS A LARGER MAN (APPROXIMATELY 300 POUNDS), SAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN HE DID SO, THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT SENSOR LIGHTS CAME ON. MY HUSBAND CHECKED TO BE SURE THAT THE SENSORS UNDER THAT SEAT WERE CONNECTED AND THEY WERE. THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT SENSOR LIGHTS HAVE CONTINUED TO REMAIN ON EACH TIME THE CAR IS RUNNING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE PROCEEDED THROUGH A STOP SIGN RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE CRASHING INTO THE CONTACTS VEHICLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACTS HUSBAND SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE FACE THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 1/13/15

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN CROSSING AN INTERSECTION THAT HAS NO TRAFFIC SIGNALS. THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE STREET I WAS CROSSING IS 45 MPH. I LOOKED BOTH WAYS AND SAW NO CARS, SO I PROCEEDED TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION. AS I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION, I WAS STRUCK BY A TRUCK IN THE LEFT FRONT CORNER PANEL OF MY CAR. I SPUN SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS STRUCK AGAIN IN THE BACK OF MY CAR. I WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS AND DID NOT REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS UNTIL I WAS IN THE AMBULANCE. I WAS TRANSPORTED TO A TRAUMA HOSPITAL WHERE I WAS TREATED FOR A BROKEN CLAVICLE, BROKEN RIBS, MULTIPLE DEEP BODY BRUISING, AND A CONCUSSION. I UNDERWENT SURGERY TO REPAIR MY CLAVICLE AND TO THIS DAY STILL RECOVERING FROM MY INJURIES. I AM WRITING TODAY TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION BE MADE INTO THE FACT THAT NONE OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED IN THIS ACCIDENT. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO TOYOTA AND RECEIVED NO RESOLUTION. I WOULD THINK THAT WITH THE MULTIPLE POINTS OF IMPACT ON MY VEHICLE THAT MY SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG OR MY DRIVER'S AIRBAG WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I BELIEVE THAT IF THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED, I POSSIBLE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE BROKEN BONES I SUFFERED. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FOR AT THE VERY LEAST TO PREVENT FURTHER ACCIDENT INJURIES. MY CAR HAD BEEN IN FOR SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE YEAR PRIOR FOR ENGINE ISSUES AND MY ENGINE DID NEED TO BE REBUILT. I FEEL THAT MY AIRBAGS MAY HAVE BEEN FAULTY AS WELL. I AM ASKING THAT TOYOTA BE INVESTIGATED FOR THEIR PRACTICES AND THAT I BE COMPENSATED AT THE VERY LEAST FOR WAGES LOST DUE TO TIME LOST FROM WORK AND MEDICAL EXPENSES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME....UPDATED 12/03/14 *BF

OVERNIGHT MY 2008 CAMRY SOLARA DASHBOARD HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS AND HAS BECOME TACKY AND SHINY. THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT CONTINUES TO PROGRESS TO CURRENT DATE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAUSES A GLARE WHEN SUN IS IN DIRECTION OF TRAVEL OR SUN IS BELOW 70 DEGREE PLANE TO REFLECT OFF THE DASH SURFACE. POLARIZED SUNGLASSES DEFER SOME OF THE GLARE. THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERNED WITH THE CRACKS EXPANDING AND CHANGING AND THE GUMMY SURFACE BLENDING AROUND AIRBAG LOCATION WHICH WILL PREVENT PASSENGER AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. TOYOTA USA AND DEALER WILL REPAIR AT MY COST WITH A VERY NOMINAL COST ADJUSTMENT ABOUT 20% FOR REPLACING THE DASH SURFACE. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT AT WORK OR RESIDENCE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF TOYOTA CARS OR PERHAPS TENS OF THOUSANDS WITH THE SAME ISSUE OVER MULTIPLE MANUFACTURER YEARS. THE DEFECT BECOMES AN ISSUE SHORTLY AFTER THE CARS PASS THE WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR

CAMRY IS HIT BY A PICK UP TRUCK ON THE LEFT PASSENGER SIDE, CAUSING THE CAMRY TO LOSE CONTROL AND ROTATE MORE THAN 360 DEGREES ON THE ROAD BUT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS, EVEN THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I CALLED TOYOTA AND ASKED BY THE SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD INSPECT IT BUT THEY WILL BE CHARGING ME $99 TO CHECK WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I WAS OBVIOUSLY DISTRAUGHT OVER THE FACT THAT THEY WILL CHARGE ME FIRST BEFORE THEY CAN LOOK AT A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE ABOUT MY VEHICLE AND THE PERSON WE TALKED TO JUST BASICALLY ASKED ME TO CALL BACK IF I WANTED THEM TO LOOK INTO IT AND HUNG UP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND I WAS TALK WITH MY FRIEND AND I TOOK MY EYES OFF THE ROAD AND BEFORE I KNEW IT, IT WAS TOO LATE AND I WENT STRAIGHT UP THE CURB THROUGH THE FRONT LAWN AN CRASHED INTO THE PILLAR OF THE PATIO AND THE GARAGE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY UPPER CHEST AN CHIN AND MOUTH THEN SOMEONE ASKED ME IF I WAS OK AN SAID THEY CALLED 911 AND THEY HELPED ME GET OUT OF THE CAR AN ASKED IF I WAS HURT AND THAT MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE COPS AND AMBULANCE ARRIVED AND I WAS IMMEDIATELY CHECKED OUT. I TOLD THEM I WAS OK, BUT MY CHEST HURT A LITTLE AND MY JAW. THEY SAID I WAS LUCKY IT WASN'T, ESPECIALLY WITH THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING . UPDATED 09-03-14 *BF

A SPIDER GOT INTO THE A/C DRAINAGE TUBE CAUSING WATER TO DRIP INSIDE OF THE CAR. THIS CAUSED THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO GO ON IN THE CAR. PRIOR TO BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER I CLEANED OUT THE CAR AND NOTICED THE FLOOR WAS SOAKING WET UNDER ALL OF THE MATS. THE DEALER TOLD ME I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THAT IT IS DANGEROUS. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE PLATINUM WARRANTY I TOOK OUT WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH IT'S A HAZARD.
