AIR BAGS
APPROX 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING THE AIR BAG WAS NOT WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO RECALIBRATE IT, AND I WAS CHARGED APPROXIMATELY $90.00 FOR THE WORK.. IT WORKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS, AT WHICH TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN SHOWING THE AIR BAG WAS NOT WORKING. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE OR NOT, BUT I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY $90.00 EVERY TWO WEEKS TO HAVE AN AIRBAG RE-CALIBRATED. I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS WITH THE CAR AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG IS OKAY. WHAT SHOULD I DO. *TR

SEAT BELTS
FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RETRACT TO PROVIDE PASSENGER A SECURE BELT TENSION. THE SEAT BELT WAS EXTENDED TO PERMIT A PASSENGER TO SECURE THE SEAT BELT IN PREPARATION TO RIDE IN THE CAR. THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RETRACT DUE TO ABOUT A 3/8 INCH FOLD ON THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE BELT THAT SOMEHOW DEVELOPED. *TR

SEAT BELTS
THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RETRACT TO ALLOW A PASSENGER TO SAFELY RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY WAS EXTENDED IN PREPARATION FOR LATCHING, A FOLD OF ABOUT 3/8 INCH IN THE BELT ON ITS RIGHT EDGE DEVELOPED AT THE ASSEMBLY, WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE UPPER RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE POST WHERE THE BELT COMES OUT OF THE INTERIOR TRIM. THIS FOLD SOMEHOW DISABLES, OR CATCHES ON SOMETHING, AND PREVENTS THE BELT FROM RETRACTING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES TURN OFF WHEN RIDING OVER A ROUGH SURFACE. I KNOW HOW ABS WORKS. THERE IS NOTHING THAT SHOULD TRIGGER THE ABS. I KNOW HOW IT WORKS OVER SNOW. THE BRAKES WORK FINE OVER SMOOTH SURFACE. BUT IF BRAKING OVER A POTHOLE THE ABS UNNECESSARILY TURNS ON CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SKID AND SLIDE MUCH FURTHER THAN NORMAL STOPPING DISTANCE. NO OTHER CAR I HAVE DRIVEN IN MY LIFE HAS DONE THIS. THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON MY CAR SINCE 2005. TOYOTA DEALER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS ISSUE. AND I SEE MANY OTHERS HAVE POSTED THE SAME COMPLAINTS TO NHTSB, BUT NO RECALL CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. *TR

UPON HAVING THE VEHICLE SERVICED ON JULY 30 TH 2014 ON OUR WAY TO LAS VEGAS TO SURPRISE MY FATHER IN LAW FOR 90 YEARS YOUNG I WAS INFORMED BY THE GOOD YEAR SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT WHAT HE WAS ABOUT TO SHOW ME WAS RECALED 2005 9 YEARS AGO! RACK AND PINION STEERING LEAKAGE AND OTHER KNOWN STEERING PROBLEMS. BEING A MECHANIC ALL MY ENTIRE WORKING AND MILITARY LIFE US NAVY .THERES NOT ALLOT OF MECHANICS I DON'T KNOW. FROM THE LEAKY BOOT AND STEERING PLAY THIS WAS A MESS. WHY DIDN'T TOYOTA INFORM ME OF THIS RECALL?. I WILL HOW EVER BRING MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER TO LET THEM SEE FOR THEM SELVES THAT THE PROBLEM IS REAL.AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED 9 YEARS AGO!. ITS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED AND THEY SHOULD HONOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING
STARTED NOTICING A WORSENING CLICK IN THE STEERING WHEEL UNTIL TURNED INTO A BIG CLUNK. THE WORK COST ME $2000 THROUGH A PRIVATE MECHANIC. I SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE A BIG STINK BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNDER 60K BUT OVER 5 YEARS OLD. BUT THE CAR WAS ALREADY TAKEN APART AND I NEEDED TO GET IT ON THE ROAD FOR WORK. *TR

STEERING
THIS INFORMATION IS IN ADDITION TO ODI 10617939 SUBMITTED EARLIER TODAY. THE RACK AND PINION INSTALLED AT 50946 MILES FAILED. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE PART AND I WAS CHARGED ANOTHER $450 FOR LABOR PLUS INCIDENTALS. WITHIN 4 MONTHS OF THE REPLACEMENT, CLICKING SYMPTOMS SLOWLY RETURNED IN THE STEERING. I'VE ONLY PUT ANOTHER 12K ON THE CAR SINCE 2011 AND WILL RIDE IT OUT UNTIL THE CLICK TURNS BACK INTO A CLUNK. *TR

SEAT BELTS
WHEN YOU PULL TO WEAR SEAT BELT, IT WOULDN'T PULL ALL THE WAY TO TIGHT IT IN. IT GETS STUCK AND YOU HAVE TO PULL IT VERY HARD SOME TIME IT WORKS. MOST OF TIME IT DOESN'T PULL BACK THE EXTRA LENGTH OF SEAT BELT (SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC TO ADJUST). *TR

AIR BAGS
WESTBOUND ON I-285, MIDDLE LANE, A CAR STOPPED TOTALLY IN FRONT OF US, AT DUSK. WE HAD 5-6 VEHICLE LENGTHS BETWEEN US ,BUT MOMENTARILY DID NOT REALIZE THE CAR IN FRONT WAS NOT MOVING, AS SHE DID NOT EVEN PUT ON HER BRAKE LIGHTS. WE BRAKED, HITTING HER IN THE REAR BUMPER. WE WERE NEARLY HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND US, BUT MERCIFULLY, HE WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE FRONT OF HIS RIG TO THE RIGHT LANE BESIDE US. WE REALIZED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THAT OUR AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, EITHER SIDE. THE SEAT BELTS REALLY HELD US. WE CONTACTED TOYOTA REQUESTING THEY PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO SEE IF THE AIRBAGS ARE FUNCTIONAL. WE SENT A CERTIFIED LETTER PER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS 4/16/14. THEIR STATED RESPONSE TIME IS TWO WEEKS, BY LETTER. WE STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM. WHILE THE CAR HAS HAD SOME SMALL FENDER BENDERS ON ITS REAR, IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OF THIS MAGNITUDE. WE OWN 2 TOYOTA CAMRY XLES AND ARE CONCERNED OUR AIRBAGS. ...UPDATED 07/15/14 *BF

STEERING
PURCHASED THE CAR ON JULY 17, 2013 IN WHICH I FELT A SHAKING IN THE WHEEL AND A SEVER RATTLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ASSURED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE CAR NEEDED NEW TIRES AND A BALANCE. (THE TIRES WERE BAD-DEALERSHIP WAS SELLING AS IS) PURCHASED NEW TIRES AND HAD THEM BALANCED IN WHICH THE CAR CONTINUES TO SHAKE AND RATTLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO MANY SHOPS AND THEY THINK THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT MAY BE WEARING. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS EXTREMELY RARE AND WITH THE MILEAGE IT SHOULDN'T BE WEARING. *TR
