Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving home from work and I noticed the light came on for my airbag. I checked the manual and it said to bring it in to the service center immediately. I called and made an appointment and I was told the spiral cable was bad. I noticed other people have the same problem so I think this is a part that should be recalled.”
NHTSA complaint #10500669, filed 2013-02, 107,500 miles“The airbag light has been lit since last year on my Yaris. The dealer says it is the clock spring in the steering wheel and is out of warranty so they are not responsible. I see many complaints on the same item. I count over 25 complaints. The 2007 Toyota tacoma had less complaints for the same problem and there has been a recall on it. What does it take to make my car safe?”
NHTSA complaint #10536147, filed 2013-08, 110,000 miles“The airbag light is stays on and I received a interim recall notice in mail for spiral cable. I took it to the dealership for inspection and they said clock spring is causing the airbag light to stay on. I do not believe them. Both the clock spring and the spiral cable are behind the steering wheel. Now they want $500.00 to fix. I believe the dealership is avoiding to fix the recall replacement.”
NHTSA complaint #10605895, filed 2014-06, 95,100 miles“The air bag alert bag comes on solid. There has been a national recall on this since april. I have contacted my dealer and they have stated that the company (Toyota) has not decided what parts need to be replaced. Since this is a safety recall (since april) I feel that the safety of myself and my family are in jeopardy. As the natl.hwy traffic safety admin, I feel you should be able to enforce the recall and make Toyota take care of their customers.”
NHTSA complaint #10596556, filed 2014-06, 80,000 miles“Seat belt light came on while seat belt was fastened. Mechanic told me today that the diagnostic code told him that the clockspring assembly needed to be replaced - and unless I spent $489+ to fix it that neither the airbag nor seat belts would work - so it was mandatory to fix it!! The consumer stated the mechanic discovered broken wires in the clockspring assembly. The consumer stated he suffered a financial loss of almost $500 for the repair.”
