2005 Scion XB Air bags Problems

“The air bag light came on and stayed on. We had our local mechanic look at it and he said the steering column needed to be taken apart to fix it. This sounds exactly like the current toyota recall for the spiral cable assembly yet my Scion is not on the list of recalled vehicles.”

“I was driving my 2005 Scion XB when I struck a guard rail and another vehicle with the front end of the Scion at approximately 50 MPH. My airbag did not go off. This resulted in whiplash injuries to my head, neck and back. My vehicle was determined to be a total loss by my insurance company after the crash.”

“The air bag light came on and stayed on. We had our local mechanic look at it. He stated dealer had to fix because of computer cost to read air bag sensor readings. Mileage 155000. Several other dash lights come on and off.”

“Driving on an access road, a car stopped suddenly in front of me at low speed, and I stepped on brakes hard and they did not work. Have had acceleration problems in past and reported to dealership. Car was included in the recall of cruise control sticking and acceleration and odometer going out and dashboard. Airbags deployed prematurely and did not inflate fully. Service light sticking preventing inspection until dealership can order part resulting in two traffic violations of no inspection even though presenting documentation of seeking inspection and failed. …”

“Accident involved on hwy traveling 65 -70 miles, rainy conditions, car was in motion and skidded a unknown length, hitting the rear end of a stopped vehicle on freeway, and 3x larger in size than the Scion. The air bag on driver side and passenger side did not deploy. The driver has suffered injuries to the neck, spine,legs and chest. There was not a passenger. The Scion has been deemed totaled at a loss. The injuries sustained were due to not being protected from the airbag.”
