2008 Scion TC Air bags Problems

“While driving on a country road, which are everywhere in south central il, my driver side-curtain airbag deployed. The road is one which I've driven hundreds of times with no problems. The local toyota dealers regional manager told me that I had damaged the car by striking a pothole and that pothole caused the side-curtain airbag deployment. I had just had new tires installed the week before, so I returned to the tire shop and indeed my rims were slightly bent, but, they were still perfectly in balance. …”

“After being involved in a collision where the entire passenger side of my 08 Scion TC was damaged none of my air bags deployed. The other car hit me behind the front wheel and then turned so both cars were facing the same way, slammed against each other. The other vehicle was an 03 olds alero whose airbags deployed. If this car has such a great safety rating for front and side impacts where were the air bags. The seat belt locked causing much pain and discomfort to my left shoulder. This collision caused 6500 $ worth of damage, so you tell me how serious it was.”

“This vehicle was just involved in an accident, rear-ending the car in front, the front end of the vehicle is demolished, the radiator and everything crushed and slammed back, fluids leaking from everything, even buckled the passenger door, the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle in front of this vehicle's airbags deployed. The police officers on the scene could not understand why they did not deploy.”

“With the vehicle running, passenger exited the vehicle and closed the door. The airbag curtain and seat airbag deployed. Toyota kept the car for 65 days. The letter sent to me stated they found nothing wrong with the car and they were sorry for the mishap.”

“My daughter had a new 2008 toyota Scion, less then 3,000 miles when she was hit by a semi - front drivers side. Her airbags did not deploy on either side -- even though her lights indicated that they did deploy. Her seatbelt did not lock and hold her in place. She came up and out of the shoulder harness and hit her head on the roof and top part of the window. Toyota held up the repairs for several weeks, failed to show when they promised to send an investigator to the toyota body shop. Refused to send copy of the report and claimed that nothing was wrong. …”
