I have been sent two different recalls on my cars airbags. I had one repaired. I do not know how to tell what repairs were were not done. They’ve all been marked as being done yet. Four years later less than four years later my airbag warning light is on. I’m concerned that supposedly the sensor was a rotating and warmer climate and then it was that it would propel shop objects and now I don’t have a recall, but I’ve had a light on, and of course, now other Toyotas of the same group that mine is usually in Corolla Tacoma on and on , I’m having a similar problem with the light being on and I’m very concerned that one are both of those airbags are not properly working. I’ve tried to explain to Toyota that I need to be able to identify and have problems fixed that are due to their manufacturi

My daughter was hit by a red light runner at 60mph and her airbags did not deploy at all. Her head hit the door and she sustained a broken collarbone, concussion and mild brain bleed.
Takata airbag: this recall was announced in may and Toyota still has not come up with a fix for it -- all they say is to "avoid operating the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat," which is ridiculous long term. Please tell me what to do to get this replaced

Extremely loose steering. Car has no control on highway. I almost hit a car. Called Toyota and pretty much got hung up by Toyota rep.
I was driving along the freeway at a normal speed of about 55-65mph, when suddenly my car start swerving right and left, and I have no way of stopping the car but to hold the steering wheel all the way to the left so it would hit the dividing wall of the freeway to stop it moving. *tr

engine 1 complaint shown
After the smart technology software was installed on my vehicle the check engine light came on. With the recalls Toyota has been having I felt it was necessary to take my car to an outside entity so I took my car to ntb for a diagnosis and was told that the 02 sensor on my vehicle was failing, the p02420 catalyst was below threshold. The consensus was that when the smart stop was installed that the 02 sensors should of been replaced as well. In addition the codes were flagged shortly after ECU update. Why was this not done as part of the recall? These two go hand in hand. The smart stop recall needs to be recalled or upgraded to include the sensors. My car shutters now when coming to a stop or start, which did not occur prior to the software upgrade. I am afraid to drive it.. I don
