Toyota Corolla 2006 — Problemas reportados

The air bag light stays on at all times when there is nothing on the passengers seat. This has stayed on for the past two weeks. I am afraid that the airbag might fail and cause an injury.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. The dealer was made aware of the failure; and the contact was informed that there were no open recalls associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact referenced an unknown recall with a similar failure; however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 145,000.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Corolla. The contact's son was driving at 55 MPH, another vehicle ran a stop sign and pulled into his path, resulting in a frontal collision with the side of the other vehicle. The contact’s vehicle spun around and came to rest on the shoulder of the road. Despite the high-speed frontal impact, the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed, and the vehicle was towed to an auto body shop; it has not been repaired. The contact's son sustained a bruised knee, neck and back pain, and a headache, for which he was treated with Tylenol. The contact referenced NHTSA ID Number: 19V741000(AIR BAGS), recall repair was done a year before. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 265,000.

Brought vehicle in three times, airbag was nothing at time, now the airbag lights all the time

Unlatching & False Latching back seat located in the middle of the seat. Incident was discovered after recent purchased from my little sister who also just got the vehicle as well and decided to sell it to me without being aware of the defective unlatching and false Latching buckle.

On my way to work when the I hit the brakes... brakes locked up causing me to be unable to come to a complete stop.. Driver side airbag deployed but the passenger side airbag caused the dash to explode causing a fire in the dash. With the dash exploding and the passenger side airbag not deploying correctly it cause the passenger to hit windshield! Unknown Unknown Just a check engine light for knock sensor.

There was a recall in 2015 and 2019 for airbags on my model of Toyota. I own a 2006 Toyota Corolla CE. I was sent a letter from Toyota to go into a local dealership to get this done. There's only one dealership in our tri-city area. I took it into our local dealership called Findlay Toyota in Prescott, Arizona. I will say ahead of time that they have over 50 - one star reviews on Yelp.com From the moment I left the dealership in December of 2019 my airbag light was on in the dash area and it’s still there. When i went in and told Brian at the time he said it will go away. It never has. This warning was never on my dash prior to this recall. I’ve filed a complaint with the Attorney general’s office of Arizona and Findlay have no recollection of me ever going into their dealership. I've sent documentation of my visit on to the Attorney Generals Office and I’ve never heard back from Findlay Toyota. I've spoken to a Mike in July at Findlay and he was willing to waive the $130 or $150 fee only though if nothing is found wrong. I don't trust dealerships and if there's anything wrong then it was more than likely due to their workmanship back in 2019 that created this issue to begin with. I’ve also filed a complaint with the Attorney general’s offic of Texas against the Toyota headquarters because they in my opinion have caused this issue because I never had this problem prior to the work that was done at Findlay Toyota. All Toyota USA did was give me a case number and send me right back to Findlay Toyota who don't want to help me in the slightest. It’s just a conundrum. The sad thing is I think Toyota is a great company but the way that I’ve been treated in this matter is beyond appalling. I've also written to the headquarters of Toyota in Japan, explaining he above story. They never replied either. I've also called the general manager, a Mr. McCoy at Findlay Toyota and he hasn't called me back.

Air bag light has been on for awhile and now the horn is not working. When the horn stopped working I took it in for repair again. Toyota repair department says it's a failure of the spiral cable. I found there was a recall to replace the spiral cable in Toyota Corolla Matrix vehicles but 2009 - 2010 year models, not my year of 2006. The documentation I found was very clear in stating it was going to do a recall not because of a manufacturing defect but because of a design issue. I think my vehicle should have been included in the recall because it probably has the same or similar design.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Corolla Matrix. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the check engine warning light and the battery warning light illuminated, and the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and pull over on the side of the road safely where the vehicle shut off again and failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the vehicle had experienced a similar failure as in NHTSA Campaign Number: 10V384000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) and advised to take the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 200,025.

Inflator Rupture - front passenger inflator. A vehicle collision at Alma School and 8th Avenue where one vehicle turned left in front of the oncoming involved 2006 Toyota Corolla resulting in the Corolla striking the right side of the other vehicle. During the collision the airbags were commanded to deploy and the passenger inflator had a significant rupture/failure which sent shrapnel out of the dash, striking the passenger. Our unit has investigated two confirmed Takata inflator fatalities and after a brief visual inspection it was confirmed the passenger inflator is in several pieces. The appearance of the inflator is consistent with prior observed passenger side Takata inflators. The car has been preserved in our parking lot and the passenger side airbag, with related tears and shrapnel holes, was obtained and preserved as well. The crash was filmed on intersection CCTV and the inflator can be seen expelling fragments outwards. A Dropbox file has been created to exchange photos and video upon request. Thank you. I am a Detective with the Mesa Police Department Vehicular Crimes Unit and was made aware of NHTSA's interest in identifying inflator related cases.

On March 17, 2023 at approximately 4:12 PM on Hwy 288 northbound just south of Southmore Boulevard I was struck from behind by a Blue Jetta. Skidding into me I think he was still going about 30 miles per hour if not a little more based on the violence of the crash. My vehicle was pushed forward into the car ahead of me damaging the front of my vehicle as well. Despite the impact, my air bags did NOT deploy. I had taken the vehicle in to the Toyota shop here in Humble, TX and had the "final fix" done on the airbags. I have been physically injured as a result of this automobile accident. I have filed with my Progressive Claim Adjuster and they are talking about totaling the vehicle. Policy Number 46753320. My concern is, despite the vehicle air bags being replaced, they did not deploy. The force of the impact should have been sufficient to activate them. It could of course be a defective switch given her age, but I'd rather let science do the talking.

Acccelerator gives no response when pressed without warning Unknown

I purchased a Toyota three years ago, immediately I complained about the brakes scrubbing and squeaky sounds, the dealer denied anything was wrong with the brakes. After paying the last payment the other day, now the brake pedal is stiff as a board and takes alot of pressure to stop, which is a safety hazzard to all. Also there have been no warning lights come on notification of any problems. I've also noticed Electrical problems like the dash lights going off and on the clock works when it takes a notion.

The contact's mother owns a 2006 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while reversing out of a parking space and as she shifted the vehicle into drive, the vehicle surged forward. The contact's mother lost control of the vehicle and crashed into several vehicles and then a curb and turned the vehicle ignition off. The contact's mother stated she had no brakes. The contact sustained bruises to her left and right legs by the knees and both wrists were bruised. Additionally, the contact had pain in her left and right shoulders. The contact did not seek medical attention. The other vehicles were not occupied. The contact stated she did not notice any warning lights were illuminated. The police were on the scene and filed a report. The contact's mother had the vehicle towed to her residence and then later towed to a dealer. The dealer did not inspect the vehicle, however, the manufacturer had an independent mechanic inspect the vehicle brakes. The mechanic determined that there were no mechanical problems with the brakes. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

My mother’s car suddenly went out of control in the parking lot of the local power company. The car was out of control like a wild horse and crashed several cars. This is not a driver error. The car mileage reading is ~40,000. I found that there are recalls on the Toyota cars (with problems such as cars went of control and accelerated uncontrollably), but not this particular car/VIN #. (The car’s airbag was on the recall list, but when we stopped at the local Toyota dealership’s service department, the assistant manager always tell us that they are busy, come back next time. It happened more than 3 times.) After contacting Toyota Corporate, Toyota sent out a third party to do an inspection on the car. The 3rd party inspector downloaded a whole bunch data. Based on the 3rd party’s findings, Toyota Corporate states that no evidence that the incident was the result of the defect in [this] vehicle. My mother maintains the car accordingly to the instructions of the local Toyota dealership’s service department. One strange thing was that the 3rd party inspector told Toyota Corporation that there were a lot fire ants presented in the car at the time of his inspection. This seems impossible. My family members and the tow truck driver did not find any fire ants before and after the 3rd party’s inspection. The vehicle’s parked at the local Toyota dealership’s parking lot at the time of inspection. There must be a problem with car when it went out of control. Please advise, thanks!

The car went to replace the air bag with a hood and everything seemed fine but the SRS light activated every so often. this is happening since they changed the air bag and it turns it on and off whenever it wants for seconds the car has barely 22,000 miles and has not been crashed this has been happening since they changed the car's air bag air bag in the authorized toyota dealer of santana puerto rico

Dealer repaired airbag recall, now SRS light is on and won’t turn off. Dealer now wants hundreds of dollars to check and or fix possible issue told that it may be something else and more work needed. This issue should be part of recall repairs. This car only has 63,200 miles on it well maintained should not have these issues.

We had recall work done for Airbag, sensor light came on after repairs. One dealer quoted $150 to look at the sensor another wanted $450+. The light was not on before recall work was done. It is clear that whatever they did for the recall caused this to happen, don't care if it's not under warranty the dealer caused the issue electrical whatever and should fix it. Obviously this is a known issue with the 2006 Toyota and should also be part of the recall.

THE SEATBELT IN THE REAR PASSENGER DOESN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY, IT EITHER GETS STUCK IN TRYING TO FASTEN IT OR ONCE IT'S ON IT DOESN'T FLUCTUATE AND GETS STUCK IN A TIGHT POSITION WHERE IT HAS TO BE RELEASED IN ORDER NOT TO OVERLY CONSTRAINT THE PASSENGER. THE KIDS ARE THE ONES SITTING IN THIS SEAT AND USING SEAT BELT SO IT'S CONCERNING FOR THEM NOT TO BE ABLE TO ABIDE BY STATE LAWS OF WEARING SEAT BELTS AND KEEPING THEM SAFE BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO RETRACT THE SEAT BELT.

TL* THE CONTACT'S GIRLFRIEND OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA MATRIX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING 25 MPH, HER VEHICLE WAS HIT BY ANOTHER MOTORIST AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. DESPITE MINIMAL IMPACT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT AN OCCUPANT IN THE SEAT. DUE TO THE SHOCK OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, THE CONTACT'S GIRLFRIEND JERKED THE WHEEL AND HER BACK PASSENGER TIRE HAD HIT A CURB. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE CONTACT'S GIRLFRIEND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE NEXT DAY, HIS GIRLFRIEND WAS TREATED AT A HOSPITAL FOR INJURIES TO HER NECK AND RIGHT ARM. THE CONTACT THEN CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO INFORMED HIM THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V627000(AIR BAGS). AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AT POHANKA TOYOTA OF SALISBURY(2010 N SALISBURY BLVD, SALISBURY, MD 21801) WHERE AN INSPECTOR WAS SENT TO THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE AIR BAG. AFTER THE INSPECTION, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE AND WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT NO REPAIRS WOULD BE MADE TO THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE INVESTIGATION WAS SETTLED. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 282,699.

THE AIRBAG REPAIR BY TOYOTA OR THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT SHORT OUT (WIRE AT THE AIRBAG MODULE) AND CAUSED AN ENGINE FIRE.

I JUST BOUGHT A 2006 MATRIX (TOYOTA). IT ONLY HAS 88,000 MILES ON IT (OCTOBER, 2020). THE CAR IS IN GREAT CONDITION AND SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. I'VE TAKEN IT TO 2 SEPARATE QUALIFIED MECHANICS. THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHEN THE LIGHT IS OFF THE CAR RUNS PERFECT. WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THE GAS PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL ON A STRAIGHT AWAY FLAT ROAD. I WAS DRIVING 30MPH LEAVING TOWN. THE SPEED LIMIT INCREASED TO 40MPH BEFORE FURTHER INCREASING TO 65MPH HIGHWAY. IT'S A STRAIGHT FLAT ROAD. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR OVER 55MPH. WHEN I GOT TO A SMALL HILL THE CAR FINALLY MADE IT TO THE TOP 45 MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DEPRESSED. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED AS I WAS COMING DOWN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HILL WITH THE GAS PEDAL STILL DEPRESSED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. I USED A HALF OF A TANK OF GAS TO DRIVE 15 MILES. I AM WRITING THIS AS I AM CONCERNED. WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE I FOUND THE PROBLEM I AM DESCRIBING WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST OTHER MATRIX OWNERS. I COULD ALSO SEE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS WHERE THE MATRIX ACCELERATED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE STOPPED. WHY HASN'T THE 2006 BEEN RECALLED? WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE MATRIX ACCELERATING OUT OF CONTROL ON ME AFTER THE PEDAL IS FLOORED WITH NO ACCELERATION? THE RISK SEEMS PRETTY HIGH CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. I AM A MOTHER OF 2. ARE MY KIDS SAFE IN THIS CAR? ARE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD SAFE FROM THIS CAR?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE AT AN ANGLE, WITHOUT THE PARKING BRAKE SET, AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE TO CHECK HIS MAILBOX, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT STATED HE REPLACED THE BUSHING ON HIS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 239,450.

I HAVE AN AFTERMARKET WEBASTO HOLLANDIA 700 SUNROOF THAT GOT RECALLED FOR "IN THE EVENT OF A SEPERATION, THE FALLING GLASS COULD CREATE A ROAD HAZARD OR STRIKE A TRAILING VEHICLE AND CAUSE A CRASH." THE GLASS FOR THE MOONROOF FELL APART FROM THE VEHICLE AND IS GONE UNFORTUNATELY. I WAS TRYING TO BUY THE GLASS FROM TOYOTA WITH THE HELP FROM MY AUTO BODY SHOP "KURODA AUTO BODY INC." WHEN THEY WERE BUYING THE OEM GLASS FORM TOYOTA IN CALIFORNIA. THUS THEY CANT FIX THE CAR BECAUSE THEY CANT GET THE GLASS AND OEM DOESNT FIT EXCEPT WEBASTO. IT SAYS THAT WEBASTO WILL BE PROVIDING THE RECALLS BUT THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT I LIVE IN HAWAII AND THERE ARE NO WEBASTO DEALERS IN HAWAII, CLOSEST IS IN CALIFORNIA WITH LIKE 8 LOCATIONS, THATS THE CLOSEST FOR US, PAY FOR LIVING IN PARADISE I SUPPOSE. IM OKAY WITH THE PARTS BEING SHIPPED TO ME OR TO MY AUTOBODY SHOP THAT CAN DO IT AND OF COURSE WEBASTO PAYING FOR THE LABOR FEES FOR THE RECALL. IM OPEN TO PAYING FOR SHIPPING COSTS IF THEY AGREE BECAUSE I DONT KNOW IF A RECALL PAYS FOR SHIPPING. I NEED A NEW GLASS, THATS THE ONLY THING MISSING, MECHANISM WORKS AND MOVES BUT ITS CORRODED AND I WOULDNT MIND FOR A WHOLE NEW SET IF POSSIBLE. IN THE PICTURES IT IS BETWEEN THE VIN NUMBER OF THE SUNROOF MODEL UNDER THE RECALL. I THINK IT WAS FIX BEFORE FROM ONE OF THE PICTURES SAYING IT WAS CLAIMED ALREADY FROM MY TOYOTA VIN NUMBER, BUT APPARENTLY IF IT WAS FIX THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED AGAIN SO ANOTHER RECALL FIX I THINK THIS MAY BE.

RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. WHY THE DELAY? I WAS CALLED BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO BRING IN THE CAR. AFTER DROPPING OFF THE CAR THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY HAD MADE A MISTAKE AND THEY DID NOT HAVE THE AIRBAG UNIT TO REPLACE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT I FEEL IS BEING NEGLECTED .

I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE IN OCTOBER AND STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN A REPAIR NOR ANOTHER LETTER TO LET ME KNOW THEY HAVE A FIX. I'D REALLY LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A PASSENGER RIDE IN MY CAR AND NOT HAVE TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT.

DURING MY SCHEDULED VISIT TO ROGERS AND ROGERS NISSAN IN THE CITY OF IMPERIAL CA. I FELT THAT I WAS TREATED UNFAIRLY BECAUSE I WAS THE LAST PERSON TO BE ATTENDED OUT OF SEVERAL VEHICLES THAT CAME AFTER ME. I WAS INFORMED THAT REPAIRING THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG WOULD TAKE OVER THREE HOURS. I WAS NOT OFFERED A RIDE HOME NOR ANY EFFORTS WERE MADE BY ROGERS AND ROGERS PERSONNEL TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS WHEN I INFORMED THEM THAT I NEEDED MY VEHICLE AND COULD NOT WAIT THREE HOURS. I CONTINUE TO RECEIVE LETTERS AND EMAILS INFORMING ME OF THE URGENCY OF REPAIRING THE AIRBAGS, BUT I FEEL THAT ROGERS AND ROGERS IS NOT MAKING IT A PRIORITY. PLEASE ASSIST ME.

TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG AUGUST 28, 2019. HOWEVER, THEY STILL HAVE NOT PROVIDED A REMEDY OR TIMELINE FOR A REMEDY, OVER 5 MONTHS LATER. TOYOTA REFUSES TO PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION WHEN I CONTACTED THEM. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO BE UNABLE TO USE MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

IN OCTOBER 2019 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ADVISING ME THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH WAS REPLACED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL MAY BE DAMAGED AND COULD CAUSE INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I WAS ADVISED NOT TO ALLOW PASSENGER TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED. I WAS ALSO ADVISED "THE REMEDY IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE" AND THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. AFTER WAITING 3.5 MONTHS THE REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. IT IS UNREASONABLE NOT TO BE ABLE TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF MY VEHICLE FOR AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SIMPLY TELL ME THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE YET AND I JUST HAVE TO WAIT. IS THIS LEGAL??? DO AUTO MANUFACTURERS HAVE TO REPAIR SAFETY RECALLS WITHIN A SPECIFIC TIME PERIOD? IF NOT, WHY NOT?

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR ENGINE SHUT-OFF AND BREAKS LOCKED. CAR WILL NOT START ON THE MOVE SO I HAVE TO BRING IT TO A STOP. THE PROCESS OF TRANSITIONING LANES WITHOUT BREAKS WAS VERY SCARY. AFTER THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A FULL STOP THE CAR WAS ABLE TO START.
