We own a 2004 Toyota Camry, purchased in or, registered in wa since 2005. We have had the passenger airbag sensor reset at least 6 times since purchase, both in or and wa. The vast majority of these repairs done under warranty. Michael's Toyota in bellevue has stated that they "replaced" the sensor last time it failed but it once again has failed; which means the passenger airbag will not deploy in case of an accident. Michael's Toyota's service manager has stated that the last repair was the last one they would absorb. I believe this airbag sensor was not replaced and remains faulty; either by design or in this particular one. I am bringing it in for another repair tomorrow but expect a battle over the cost of repair being absorbed by the dealership. This failed airbag sensor means dangerous conditions for anyone sitting in the passenger seat in case of an accident. According to the wa state attorney general's office, this may be a known problem already.

I hit a deer between 55 and 65mph. I struck the animal with the left front, in the headlight area. I want to know why the airbags didn't go off. The car was a 2004 Camry. I am thankful the air bags didn't go off, but wondering -why not. Over $3600 in damages. Thank you for any info you can give me.

I bought a 2004 Camry about a month ago from my local Toyota used car dealer. A week later I told them front-end felt funny and needed to be checked. They said I needed an alignment. Had that done. Called them last week and said I still feel like there's some sort of front-end problem. My brake pedal is spongy and almost to the ground. Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm going to stop in time. Also told them my steering wheel was shimmying. I was told that the steering wheel was probably indicating a tire balance issue and they would charge me $50 to balance/rotate my tires. I decided to put the money toward new front tires instead hoping that would also reduce road noise. As for the brakes.... I was told that was standard for the Camry models and was a known design issue but no corrections were in place that they were aware of. Last weekend I was in a crash. My brakes failed! my ABS did not engage and my airbag did not deploy. I was traveling about 30-40 mph on a highway when the person in front hit their brakes. I hit mine and continued to skid into the back of their vehicle. I had plenty of room to stop. There's no reason other than brake failure for me to have crashed.

Crash on 8/4/07. Neither of our air bags deployed or shoulder straps on the seat belt worked. We were stopped for a vehicle making a left turn on a highway. There was a pick-up waiting in front of us. A driver failed to stop and rear-ended us. My husband's head went through the windshield. We both suffered injuries, that we are still being treated for.
