Air bags, side/windowJul 13, 2004
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CURTAIN SHIELD AIR BAGS (CSA), ONE OR BOTH OF THE CURTAIN AIR BAGS MAY BE TWISTED NEAR THE INFLATOR DUE TO IMPROPER ASSEMBLY.
IF THIS OCCURS, THE CSA MAY NOT DEPLOY RAPIDLY ENOUGH WHEN ACTIVATED IN A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION. THIS MAY RESULT IN FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE INTENDED HEAD PROTECTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE CSAS AND REPLACE THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 6, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE JUMPED A CURB ONTO A GRASS SURFACE. THE VEHICLE RETAINED THE SAME SPEED, BUT DIDN'T SLOW DOWN, AND DROVE 700 FEET BEFORE HITTING A SIGN AND TWO TREES. WHEN THE VEHICLE IMPACTED THE SECOND TREE, THE IMPACT CATAPULTED THE VEHICLE BACK ONTO THE STREET AND THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING A 2002 CAMRY LE, WENT OFF THE ROAD AND STRUCK A TREE ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE FRONT DOOR. SHE HAD MASSIVE HEAD INJURIES AND DID NOT SURVIVE THE CRASH. NONE OF THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS OPENED ON SUCH A SEVERE IMPACT. AS IT MIGHT SEEM INITIALLY THAT THESE WERE FRONTAL AIRBAGS, BUT I HAVE SEEN A 2000 COROLLA WHERE THE IMPACT WAS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR AND BOTH THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A 2002 CAMARY THAT IS SUPPOSED BE A NEWER, BETTER CAR THAN A 2000 COROLLA, FAILED TO HAVE ITS AIRBAGS DEPLOY WHEN THE IMPACT WAS ON THE PASSANGERS SIDE; WHERE ON A COROLLA ALTHOUGH THE IMPACT WAS ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR; THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. *JB

SOMETIME IN OCT. WHILE PULLING OFF OF I-74 ONTO 53RD ST. IN DAVENPORT, IA, WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED THE CAR SPED UP RATHER THAN SLOWED DOWN. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TOWARDS THE END OF NOVEMBER WHILE TRAVERSING FROM US-6 ONTO I-80 IN GENESEO. BOTH TIMES I HAD BEEN USING THE CRUSE CONTROL, DISENGAGED IT BY APPLYING THE BRAKE AND AS THE CAR SLOWED DOWN REAPPLICATION OF THE BRAKE CAUSED THE CAR TO SPEED UP. BY TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THEN REAPPLYING THE BRAKE CAR SLOWED NORMALLY ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER I HAD A MORE SERIOUS INCIDENT WHILE PULLING INTO A CONVIENCE STORE OFF OF WOLF ROAD IN GENESEO. I DIENGAGED THE CRUSE AND PULLED INTO A PARKING PLACE. THE CAR SLOWED NORMALLY AND WAS ALMOST TO A STOP WHEN IT BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WHILE THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. I TURNED THE CAR TO THE RIGHT, AND JUST MISSED THE BUILDING, BUT TOOK OUT A 4X4 SUPPORT FOR THE ROOF OVERHANG. DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO DENTS ON THE CAR AND THE 4X4. NO PERSONAL INJURIES WERE INVOLVED. AFTER THE FIRST OCCURANCE I THOUGHT IT WAS MY MISTAKE, I APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR WHEN I MEANT TO APPLY THE BRAKE. THE SECOND TIME I FELT IT WAS PROBABLY A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR, AND WOULD BRING IT UP WITH TOYOTA NEXT TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR IN. THE THIRD TIME I WAS SURE THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM FOR TOYOTA AND I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE TOYOTA DEALER. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID NEITHER THEY OR THE DISTRICT OFFICE HAD HEARD OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM BEFORE. WE THEN CONTACTED THE TOYOTA OFFICE IN CALIFORNIA, AND THEY TOOK DOWN THE INFORMATION, INFORMING US THIS PROBLEM HAD NOT OCCURED BEFORE. LAST WEEK SCOTT YON OF THE NHTSA CONTACTED US AND ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE THREE OCCURANCES. AFTER LOOKING AT THE NHTSA WEB SITE AND FINDING MANY SIMILAR INSTANCES I DECIDED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LISTING.*AK

MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2002 SE V6 EVERYDAY IS MAKING A LOUD SQUEALING SOUND WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL AND A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN I SHIFT INTO DRIVE FROM PARK. NOW THE MAIN PROBLEM IS WHEN I'M DRIVING MY CAR IT ACCELERATES AND THEN IT JUST GOES INTO "NEUTRAL" AT WHATEVER SPEED I'M GOING AT AND THEN KICKS BACK WITH A PUNCH (THAT JERKS MY HEAD BACK) INTO GEAR. IT DOES IT EVRY DAY SINCE I HAD THE CAR. I TALKED TO TOYOTA AND OF COURSE, THEY BLAME ME. I BABY MY CAR . CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 2000 MILES AND NOTHING BUT MOBIL GAS. I'M SCARED TO TAKE MY CAR IN BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THE DEALER SAYING I OWE A BILLION DOLLARS TO GET IT FIX AND USE SOME EXCUSE TO AVOID THE WARRANTY. I HAVE TALKED TO A COUPLE OF THE REPAIR GUYS AT TOYOTA AND THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND EVEN HAVE TOLD ME ALMOST EVERY 1ST GENERATION TOYOTA(LIKE MINE) HAVE THIS PROBLEM. AND THAT TOYOTA REFUSES TO DO A RECALL. PLEASE HELP. I;M TAKING MY CAR IN BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO APPROACH THE WARRANTY LIMIT. I DIN'T GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

TOYOTA CAMRY 2002 WAS PARKED. WHEN I PUT THE GEAR INTO DRIVE, W/ FOOT ONLY ON BRAKE, IT SURGED FORWARD , CRASHING THE CAR THROUGH THE COMMON GARAGE WALL WHICH SEPARATES TWO PATIO HOMES. I WAS THROWN FORWARD AS THE CAR WENT THROUGH THE WALL, HITTING THE CAR IN THE OTHER GARAGE WHICH WAS PUSHED BACKWARDS INTO THE OTHER GARAGE DOOR. BOTH CARS HAD TO REPAIRED, A NEW GARAGE WALL AND GARAGE DOOR WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS KILLED. I HAVEN'T TAKEN THE CAR TO MY TOYOTA DEALER AS IT HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY AND I AM SURE THEY WILL NOT FIND ANY FAULT IN THE CAR EVEN THOUGH NTSA HAS SUPPORTED THAT THIS CAR MAKE AND MODEL HAS HAD INCIDENTS OF THIS SURGING OCCURRING. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WILL BE 50% OF WHAT THE BLUE BOOK STATES IT WILL BE WORTH WHEN I SELL IT. I NEED INFORMATION AND YOUR SUPPORT IN THIS CAUSE. *AK
