AIR BAGS
The airbag warning light comes on at times constantly and occasionally intermittently. The connection under both front seats has been checked and found secured.
NHTSA complaint #11700975 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
AIR BAGS
In the last several years the dashboard is sticky and cracking. I am not only concerned about the glare and white residue but also the potential effect on the airbags. I have visited a dealership and sent written communication to Toyota in Plano TX. I also called Toyota asking for help with this issue and have been informed the cost would be entirely my responsibility. Toyota created a case number which is [XXX]. The car is garage kept with approximately 112,000 miles and in very good condition. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

AIR BAGS
Dash is cracked all over, including where airbag is on front right passenger side, causing airbag light to stay lit. This is a safety hazard and should be repaired or replaced by Toyota. I was already informed by Toyota when I had called that there had been a recall on this matter for cosmetic reasons several years ago and now it was “too late” for them to be responsible, but I did not know of that condition/recall. This is not only a cosmetic issue, this is a safety concern and needs to be addressed immediately. I was informed by an employee at the number I was given that safety issues do not fall under the statue of limitations for recalls. I’ve been trying to get a response from the National Highway Safety Division but I haven’t received an actual determination as to whether Toyota had to replace the dash or not. Please help with this urgent safety concern. I can be reached at [XXX]. Thank you INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Camry Solara. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and then turned on when the air bag suddenly deployed. The contact received injuries to their arms and medical attention was required. The contact had not been able to find a dealer who was willing to repair air bags, therefore, the vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000.
