| Defect Summary | On certain vehicles, due to improper assembly of the air bag inflator, which is used in the side air bag, the curtain shield air bag, and the knee air bag assembly, some inflators were produced with an insufficient amount of the heating agents necessary for proper air bag deployment. in this condition, the expansion force of the gas may be insufficient to properly inflate the air bag when the srs system is activated during a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | This may increase the risk of injury to the occupant in the involved seating position in the event of a crash. | |||||||||||||||

| I hit a bmw. i was changing the station in my car and when i looked up i was too close to the bmw to successfully stop before hitting them. as a result, because the bmw was completely stopped, a domino effect occurred in that the two cars in front of the bmw were also hit. the damage to the bmw, the car i directly hit, was a back bumper that was slightly de-attached from the car (moderate damage) and a the front windshield cracked. the airbag in the bmw deployed. my airbag did not. i was in an accident in 2008 where i was rear-ended. again, at the rate i was hit, my car's airbag did not deploy. this is the second toyota that i have bought where the airbag did not deploy. i worry that there was something wrong with my car's sensors. | |||

| The airbag cover on the windshield post was installed with a defective/and or damaged clip. the airbag cover was loose and could have been snagged by a passenger,etc. and come off at any time. the toyota dealer maintained that these covers were just cosmetic and that i could drive without covers and the car would still be completely safe. i did not want to drive it that way so i paid the dealer $ 71.78 for parts and labor to replace their defective part. i want to know who at toyota would want to drive a car on our freeways with a compromised air bag system in that condition? | |||

| We bought 2007 camry in july of 2007. my wife drove it to work and got an accident on 12/5/07. when she exited highway, she used gas then used brake to reduce the speed. the brake did not work. the car sped out of control and hit the side of hill. the car was roll over to one side and totaled. my wife was badly injured and was sent to hospital emergency room. she got some cuts in her head by the broken window and she had to stay at home for about 2 weeks before going back to work.we believed something wrong with the car brake or gas pedal. and when the car hit the side of hill, none of car safety air bags came out. the car was totaled and paid by our insurance. but this accident gave her a long time fear and bad feeling when she passed that place. we hope we can join the toyota class action lawsuit. please give us some suggestions. thanks! *tr | |||

| I bought a 2007 camry hybrid from autoland (springfield, nj) in 2007, vin jtnbb46k973037328. recently i was in an auto accident (august 25, 2010) in which i hit a car in front of me. i don't have the exact speed of the impact but i would estimate it was 25-35 mph. the resulting impact resulted in a total wreck of the car (photos available). however, the airbag did not deploy despite the force of the impact being substantial enough to total the car. i was injured in the accident, with injuries which include a cut on the forehead from hitting the windshield and neck soreness. the car was recently serviced by toyota, so teh the airbag system should have operated properly. records available from the dealer. i was the only person in my car. no one else was injured. my insurance company suggested i contact toyota, i had a very hard time reaching them and they do not have a email or web based way of filing these issues. when i finally spole to a representative, they claimed that the aribag functioned as designed. apparently the rate of deceleration is factored into decision to deploy. i was breaking for about one second when i hit and despite my velocity at impact ( 25 to 35 mp) , the fact that i was slowing down was a decision factor not to deploy. i am an engineer and quite frankly i am surprised with this criterion for deployment. the person on the phone at toyota could not elaborate further. | |||

| Vehicle accident involving my daughter driving her 2007 toyota camry the camry sustained major front end damage and was salvaged a total loss by her insurance company. her estimated speed on impact was 35-40 mph and none of her airbags deployed. after researching is issue i discovered that there are hundreds of complaints of this same issue regarding toyota vehicles listed on the consumers reports website and surely hundreds more listed in other areas. the majority of the posts i have read all have the same issue regarding the lack of concern by toyota. *tr | |||

| In 2007, i purchased a new 2007 toyota camry from tejas toyota in humble, tx. on or about august 18, i got my vehicle serviced at the dealership. they performed a multi-point inspection, oil change, tire rotation, and checked fluids. vehicle was rendered in good working condition. approximately one week later, while approaching an intersection in downtown houston, i saw the vehicle in front of me begin to come to a stop. i saw the light turn red and i had plenty of room to stop. i applied the brake, but nothing happened. my tires did not squeal, my car did not decelerate at all, but i did not spin or veer off in any direction. i almost attempted to go around the vehicle stopped in front of me, however, that would have left me in the middle of oncoming traffic in an intersection. i knew that could result in a possibly worse situation, so i held down the brakes and just prayed that my vehicle would stop. as a result of this vehicle failure, i hit the vehicle in front of me directly in the rear end of their mercedes benz suv. strangely, my airbags did not deploy. this too greatly concerns me. luckily no one was seriously hurt, however, it caused approximately $9,000 in damage to my vehicle and i have medical bills over $600. my car was fixed! ridiculous! unfortunately, now i am scared to drive my vehicle and i cannot recover my damages from my insurance company. *tr | |||

| I was a passenger in my car and my boyfriend was driving on the highway 101 (northbound) in san francisco and were struck by another vehicle from the rear about 20-30 mph. neither airbag went off from the collision, causing me to hit my head on the dash and my boyfriend hitting his legs on the dash and steering console. the airbag light is on indicating it was deployed and the repair shop is informing us that it has to be replaced. *tr | |||

| Airbag failure - 2007 camry le. i bought this car new due to its airbag safety claims - 7 airbags with one to protect the driver?s legs. none deployed. i traveled on the highway 50-55 mph, a safe distance from the car (bmw) in front of me at rush hour on a sunny dry day. a car cut in front of the bmw causing it to brake instantly, almost coming to a stop. deceleration was too quick. i went straight into the bmw at full speed. there was no time to hit my brakes. my car didn't?t swerve or dive. i wore my seatbelt but leaned forward slightly while firmly in my seat. my chest struck the steering wheel causing an inward displaced spiral fracture of my sternum. i also sustained a large groin bruise with an internal blood clot and chest bruise due to the seatbelt. immediately i had difficulty breathing, got out of my car, lied on the pavement to catch my breath. police/ambulance came quickly, provided oxygen, took me to a hospital. i remained in intensive care for 2 days. the insurance inspector & body shop investigated the car and were surprised the airbags didn't't deploy and couldn't find a reason why the airbags didn't deploy given the damage. the right airbag sensor was bent. my car was deemed totaled. i?m unable to return to my previous work schedule (long hours, intense workload) due to constant pain. i missed 2 weeks of work. due to the fracture i cannot drive for 6 weeks. i requested that toyota evaluate the car to determine if it was a vehicle-specific defect or the entire line (to prevent future injuries). instead of disassembly and computer analysis, toyota only reviewed photos and said it functioned as expected. the vehicle was totaled and the impact straight on and high speed. if not sufficient to activate the airbags, then what's their purpose? the vehicle is in storage for examination. police reports and photos available. i would greatly appreciate nhtsa's response to this report. *tr | |||

| 2006 camry....while inching my car forward in my driveway to position the car to back it up, i was applying the brake and moving at a speed of no more than 2-3 mph. the car started to accelerate which kept increasing. i was taken by surprise, didn't know what was happening. i looked down at the accelerator to make sure it wasn't me. my foot was on the brake. before i knew it, i hit head on the very large tree at the end of my driveway. i was approximately 4 ft from the tree when the engine started revving. i had my seat belt on, which saved me from smacking my face on the steering wheel. my head jerked forward and i had a tremendous headache afterwards with pain in my neck. the air bag did not deploy. i put the car in park and my husband reached in the window and turned the engine off. when i started it up again, there was no problem and i carefully moved it away from the tree. the force with which i hit the tree pushed in my front end and also did some damage under the hood since the power steering fluid was leaking. i am currently waiting for the insurance adjustor to check this out. he did say that if he doesn't experience the same problem, he doesn't know what can be done by toyota. needless to say, i am anxious for the results and will not feel safe driving my car. *jb | |||

| I recently purchased a new 2007 camry le automobile from a toyota dealership. the passenger side airbag activation weight sensor is inconsistent in behavior and unable to readjust to a new weight reading during a trip. my wife weighs approximately 100 lbs plus clothes. one time out of seven the airbag sensor will not register her as being sufficiently heavy to activate the airbag. i once restarted the car seven times to try to get it to register. i then moved myself (174 lbs plus clothes) to the passenger seat, started the car with an empty driver's seat, got out of the car and let my wife sit in the passenger seat. the airbag came on while i was sitting there, and did not change (to off) after my wife replaced me during the 20 minute trip. i have had to use this technique each time the sensor refuses to turn the airbag on when my wife is the front passenger. i have taken the vehicle into two different toyota dealerships to have the sensor checked out, and they both insist it is working fine. i suspect that toyota is using substandard parts that do not deal well with moderately high external temperatures; such as those not found inside a climate controlled maintenance bay. i fear that in haste we may miss one time it does not turn on and get into a serious collision that injures my wife. *tr | |||
