1999 Toyota Avalon Air bags Problems

“Was driving sound on gregory rd and another car was traveling north she came into my lane at about 40 MPH and hit me head on my airbag new deployed and my seatbelt did not hold I have a bruise across my chest from steering wheel and bumps on my head.”

“My air bag warning light has come on frequently while driving. The owners manual states to take it to the dealer immediately. Once there, the dealer states there is no code stored in the computer and there is nothing they can do. Once the car is restarted, the light is off, but comes on again a few days later. This has happened numerous times. I am worried of an air bag failure due to this indicator light, but the dealer can't help because of the lack of stored codes.”

“The Avalon was involved in an accident and was struck on the rear passenger door. None of the airbags deployed. The point of impact was only a few inches away from one of the passenger side airbag. The car spun off the road onto the grass verge but fortunately the driver was able to get it back under control. I have contacted Toyota many times over the weeks since the accident, asking if this was normal or was there an airbag failure. Toyota have been dodging the question and referring me to the appropriate department . …”

“Air bag sensors went out on my 1999toyota Avalon as I was driving in heavy rain on the 101fwy near woodland hills, ca. The flashing airbag icon scared me and I wondered if the air bags would implode. My passenger checked in the owners manual and nothing there listed had occured previously to warrant the flashing signal or failure. I took the car to the dealer the next day they were open. The sensors were replaced. My car had 86,995 miles on it when this occurred. The warranty manual states passive restraint systems are warranted for 60000 or 5 years. …”

“My air bag light comes on 1 or 2 times a month, while driving. It stays on for 15-30 seconds. My next problem is that my engine check light came on when I started my car in 11/99. I took it to the shop and it was a faulty fuel injector. This was repaired but I don't feel this should have happen to a new car at such an early age. Also around 16,000 miles they had to replace my rotors. This also should not have happen at this early age.”
