Owner Complaints (10)
Your car's airbags may not deploy properly during a crash, and your service brakes may not function as intended. Both systems are critical safety features, and failures in either could put you and your passengers at serious risk. You should have a certified technician inspect both your airbag system and brake system immediately.

Your car's airbag system displayed a "SRS Air Bag Malfunction detected" warning message and illuminated the airbag warning light when you started the vehicle. The dealership couldn't reproduce the problem during their diagnostic check, so the vehicle wasn't repaired. You believe this may be related to a Toyota recall (Campaign 23V865000), but the manufacturer hasn't provided assistance.

Your airbags failed to deploy during a collision with a deer, resulting in serious injury to a passenger. The vehicle owner reports not receiving any safety recall notices before the accident and states that prior notification would have prompted them to have the vehicle inspected. A repair or replacement of the airbag system and related safety components would be needed to address this failure.

Your airbags deployed when you hit a curb, causing you to lose control of the vehicle. The airbag deployment injured a passenger with cuts on their hand from sharp fragments coming from the airbags. You're concerned that the airbags didn't deploy in a previous accident but did deploy in this lower-impact curb strike. Diagnosing this issue will require a professional inspection of your airbag system, sensors, and deployment mechanism to determine why they activated and why fragments caused injuries.
