2011 Toyota Camry Airbags Problems

Your car was involved in a head-on collision at 40 mph on the driver's side, but the front and side airbags failed to deploy. The driver was injured and required hospital care as a result. The airbag system may need to be inspected and repaired to ensure it functions properly in future collisions.

Your car's airbag deployed and released a powder that caused irritation to your eyes and hearing. This happened without a crash occurring. The airbag system requires immediate inspection to determine why it deployed unexpectedly and to address the hazardous powder release.

Your airbags failed to deploy during a rear-end collision, even though the impact was severe enough to damage the front of your car completely and cause it to be totaled. You hit the steering wheel and injured your hand because the airbags didn't cushion the impact. The airbag system will need to be diagnosed with an Event Data Recorder to determine why it failed to activate.

Your airbags failed to deploy during a serious collision, even though the other vehicle's airbags worked properly. Your passenger, a minor, sustained injuries that required ongoing medical treatment and has limited mobility and grip strength as a result. The airbag sensors or deployment mechanism in your car did not activate despite the severity of the crash. Toyota or a qualified repair shop will need to inspect the airbag system to determine why the sensors and deployment components failed.

Bought car like this not sure what happened. It’s a 2011 Toyota Camry LE

Had a car accident and none of air bags deployed. Car rolled over several times and hit a ditch and property sign

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Sear, safety belt, airbag and the speedometer 1.The driver side seat was powered by electricity, it moved forward by itself during the crash. However, the car battery was destroyed and caught on fire as soon as the crash happened. 2.The airbag might have a delayed deployment, which caused my right eye rupture. 3.The speedometer stopped at 93mph however the crash data retrieval report shows its 75 mph. The vehicle is available for inspection since I still have the vehicle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I suffered right eye globe rupture, basically lost my right eye. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Not that I know of. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.

I was involved in a traffic accident on Route 10 in California on February 27 and I hit the back of a large truck. My driving speed was 73mph and the impact speed was 33mph. The air bag of the vehicle deployed at the time, causing my right eyeball to rupture and permanently blind me. There was no damage to my face except for the right eye. My body didn't suffer any harm either. I looked up a lot of information and combined the results of the hospital diagnosis. I suspect a defect in the air bag caused my injury. And I found on the news that there have been many similar cases of airbags used by Toyota, which were accidental injuries caused by defective airbags. I would like your help to find out as soon as possible if my right eye is damaged due to a defective air bag from Toyota. I am driving a 2011 toyota, camry. Looking forward to your reply.

IT HAD ONLY BEEN ABOUT 1 OR 2 MONTHS SINCE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND ONE DAY WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR THE COVER OF THE SIDE DRIVER AIR BAG WAS HANGING. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO TAKE IT BACK. THEY BASICALLY GLUED IT BACK. THIS HAPPENED ANOTHER 2 TIMES BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T A DEFECT. THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE TEXAS HEAT. THE COVER IS SUPER GLUED ON BUT WHEN I GO THRU A ROUGH ROAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF. FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS STAYED ON PERMANENTLY.

I AM WRITING BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA MAY HAVE UNDERREPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THE VOLUNTARY RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V014000. I OWN A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL, OR NEITHER I NOR MY DEALER RECEIVED NOTICE. AS YOU KNOW, THIS RECALL IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TO INFLATE IN AN ACCIDENT. ON FEBRUARY 17, 2015, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE T-BONED, WITH THE STRIKING CAR HITTING THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND B-PILLAR AREA FLUSH AT ABOUT 40 MPH. ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR CURTAIN DEPLOYED, THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT. MY DAUGHTER RECEIVED SOME INJURIES FROM THE FAILURE OF THIS AIRBAG TO INFLATE AND PROTECT HER. TOYOTA DID VISIT THE VEHICLE AFTER THE COLLISION AND DOWNLOADED THE DATA FROM THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, AND IT SHOWED A FAILURE OF THAT AIRBAG. I TRIED TO ATTACH A COPY OF THE DOWNLOADED DATA FOR YOUR REVIEW, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTACH IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO SEND YOU THIS PDF FILE. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT PERHAPS TOYOTA HAS UNDERREPORTED THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, PUTTING MORE UNSUSPECTING TOYOTA CUSTOMERS AT RISK. IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION FROM ME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. MY CELL PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. I WOULD LIKE TO BE KEPT IN THE INFORMATION LOOP REGARDING ANY INVESTIGATION OF TOYOTA THAT RESULTS FROM MY COMPLAINT.

I WAS REAR ENDED CAUSING ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DESPITE THE IMPACT BEING SIGNIFICANT. *TR

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A DIRT ROAD, GOING AROUND A CORNER, THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN AND WENT OFF THE ROAD AND SKIDDED ALONGSIDE THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 30 FT. THE VEHICLE THEN HIT A FEW SMALL STUMPS, STILL WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN, AND FINALLY SLAMMED INTO A LARGE TREE. THE IMPACT IN WHICH THE CAR HIT THE TREE WAS SO STRONG THAT THE BACK END OF THE CAR ROSE UP INTO THE AIR AND STAYED IN THAT VERTICAL POSITION. ONLY THE TAIL LIGHTS WERE STILL VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD AFTER THE CAR SLAMMED INTO THE TREE AND STOPPED. IF THE TREE HADN'T BEEN HIT, THE CAR WOULD HAVE CONTINUED DOWN THE HILLSIDE INTO THE BOTTOM OF A RAVINE, ABOUT ANOTHER 40 FT. THE ENTIRE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WAS SHOVED ALMOST TO THE WINDSHIELD AND NOT ONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE ENTIRE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE MOTOR AND HOOD WERE DESTROYED, THE BATTERY WAS CRUSHED AND LEAKING ACID EVERYWHERE AND WAS SITTING BEHIND THE FRONT TIRE AND THE HOOD WAS "V" SHAPED AND PUSHED INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS SO CLEARLY THE BRAKES WEREN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY EITHER, ALSO THE SPEED IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE TREE SHOWS THAT THE ACCELERATION WAS FAULTY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN. THE DRIVERS FACE SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND BROKE HER NOSE AND RECEIVED A POSSIBLE CONCUSSION BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY, ALONG WITH NUMEROUS BRUISES AND SCRATCHES. THE DAMAGE IS SO SEVERE THAT THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS BUT STILL WE ARE LEFT WONDERING WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. IF THE DRIVER HADN'T BEEN WEARING HER SEATBELT, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY. WE HAVE PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT TO SHOW JUST HOW SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS THIS IS. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ANSWERS AS TO WHY A VEHICLE WITH SUCH HIGH CRASH TEST RATINGS WOULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SAFETY TO THE DRIVER. *TR

UPON IMPACT THE FORCE OF THE HIT CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH WAS PARKED AND THAT VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. THE PASSENGER LOST CONSCIOUSNESS SINCE SHE HIT HER HEAD ON THE WINDOW. *BF

HEADING EAST ON RT. 41 AND UPON INTERING AN INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGTH I SLOWED TO ALLOW 2 CARS TO PASS FROM THE ONCOMING EAST TRAFFIC BEFORE MAKING A LEFT TURN NORTH ONTO A 4 LANE STREET. UPON ACCELERATING TO MAKE THE TURN, THE CAR HIT THE RIGHT CURB AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED CAUSING ME TO QUICKLY STEER TO THE LEFT TO STOP ME FROM HITTING THE ON COMING TRAFFIC FROM THE NORTH.. I MANAGED TO CROSS TWO LANES BUT IN THE THIRD LANE WAS HIT BY AN ONCOMING SOUTH BOUND VEHICLE.. MY CAR WAS THEN STOPPED BY THE LEFT HAND CURB. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS DEMOLISHED AND $8,000 DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO MY FRONT END. THE AIR BAGS IN THE DEMOLISHED CAR WERE DEPLOYED BUT MINE WERE NOT. I FEEL AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXCELERATED CAUSING THE ACCIDENT SO AFTER HAVING THE CAR REPAIRED AND CHECKED I COULD NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT SO TRADED IT OFF THE ONE THAT I COULD. *LN

IN TRAFFIC DRIVING APPROX 20 MPH WHEN I TRIED TO STOP, PRESSED THE BRAKE AND CAR DIDN'T STOP, ACTUALLY SEEMED TO SPEED UP. REAR ENDED CAR IN FRONT. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT BODY SHOP. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 30, 2010 OUR 2011 CAMRY WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAMRY WAS STRUCK BY A 1999 HONDA CRV, THE POINT OF IMPACT WAS BEHIND THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT. THE CRV CONTINUED TO TRAVEL ALONG THE RIGHT FRONT QUARTER PANEL, BREAKING THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE AND STOPPED AT THE FRONT OF THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. THE ESTIMATED SPEED OF MY CAMRY WAS 10MPH AND THE HONDA CRV WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THE FRONT AIR BAG ON THE CAMRY DEPLOYED BUT NONE OF THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE IMPACT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSED MY DAUGHTER, RIDING IN THE BACKSEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, TO HIT HER HEAD ON THE WINDOW. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE WINDOW TO SHATTER. A WITNESS AT THE SCENE OBSERVED HER STOCKING CAP FLY OUT THE REAR WINDOW. MY DAUGHTER WAS TAKEN TO THE DOCTOR AND WAS CLEARED AND WE WERE ADVISED TO OBSERVE HER FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS TO MAKE SURE SHE DID NOT HAVE A CONCUSSION. THE DOCTOR ALSO STATED THAT SHE WAS LUCKY TO BE WEARING THE STOCKING CAP AS IT HELPED CUSHION THE BLOW. THE DAMAGE ON THE CAMRY WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE VEHICLE. I TRIED TO GET AN ANSWER FROM TOYOTA AS TO WHY THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BUT AS OF YET I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. *TR
