On 01/14/2022, I was in a car accident. I hit a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport head on at 45 mph and my airbags didn-??t deploy nor did my seatbelts lock. My car is available for inspection at Classic Collision of Augusta body repair shop. Since my airbags did not deploy and my seatbelt did not lock, I made contact with my steering wheel and my right hand made contact with the dash. My passenger-??s airbags did not deploy nor did their seatbelt lock. They made contact with the window, door, and dash of my car. We sustained injuries from the accident. Unknown if problem has been reproduced or confirmed by dealer or service center. Vehicle has been inspected by my auto insurance and the body repair shop, but unknown results. Unknown if any other entities have inspected the vehicle. Yes, a maintenance required message was present for a oil change required. Message appeared when mileage hit 48479 due for oil change per the mileage on the sticker on my windshield.
Wife driving to family reunion, rural road, she passed out, missed turn in road. Car went of road and hit a ditch. Car rolled several times. Wife's neck broken (she lived) admitted to hospital. Remained in hospital for about 3 weeks then physical therapy for months. Never received recall notice. All air bags opened except the drivers side
The contact owns a 2016 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that there was a spring protruding from the rear middle seat belt. Upon removing the spring, the seat belt became inoperable. Toyota of redlands located at (921 New York St, redlands, ca 92374) was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the repair would be an out of pocket expense. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 106,000.
Takata inflators. I have 2016 Camry, it just went out of warranty, I have a major safety concern related to the air bags and seat belts, the red warning light for airbag and seat belt came up about 7 months ago, also the passenger air bag yellow light always says air bag is off no matter if there is a passenger setting in the seat or not ( please see pictures attached ), which means it will not inflates in case of accident and will jeopardize and risk people life. I called Toyota customer service couple of times and talked to managers there, and they couldn't care less about fixing the issue, bottom line they said the car is out of warranty and its not their problem, they even refused to send me a written letter stating that, they said they will keep the voice records which I'm not sure if they kept or not, its very shameful and sad that Toyota doesn't stand behind their products, especially on safety issues that could get people killed in case of accidents and the air bags not functioning properly. Toyota incident# 190515-000353 should have the recordings for my conversations with Toyota managers who couldn't be any ruder and inconsiderate for a major safety issues, keeping in mind all the recall they did for the airbags recently.

Takata recall and dras II failure for as yet to be determined additional vins my friend and I were in the front driver side and front passenger side seats, buckled up, sitting in traffic stopped on the 5 freeway headed North. We were rear ended at a high rate of speed, at a slight angle to our bumpter, by a driver which resulted in the total decimation of their vehicle and substantial damage to our vehicle which manifested itself as rear bumper and rear under body damage, as well as crumpling of the rear driver and passenger side frame and quarterpanels, to our 2016 Toyota Camry. Both the driver and I were thrown forward, and despite wearing our seatbelts I hit my head and knee on the passenger side dashboard area during the impact. No airbags inflated in the vehicle. Upon examining the vehicle immediately after the incident, the driver console displayed red error lights indicating that airbags had been deployed despite none having done so. Both the driver and I sustained serious and ongoing injuries as a result. The vehicle had approximately 27000 miles at the time of the incident. There are confirmed reports from Toyota demonstrating that airbag sensors are prone to failing at the chip edge due to large internal tensile stress inconjunction with defects in the sensor causing it to delaminate.
The passenger seat belt get stuck occasionally. It will not fully pull out of the case that the seat belt retracts to, making it unusable for the passenger. You have to fuss with it and then it releases. My sixteen year old daughter has been driving this car and I would like the seat belt to be fixed.
This problem in all situation, moving / station /. the "seat belt clicker" for rear seat which is behind the passenger front seat stuck inside and it become very hard to fasten the seat belt. We have to pull out the clicker first and then fasten the seat belt.
