SRS WARING LIGHT ON. TAKATA RECALL

YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREETS WITH MY WIFE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT THE PASSENGER "AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE CAR HAS 78,131 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE TOYOTA OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT THE "AIR BAG OFF" INDICATOR MEANS THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT I DID NOT SEE THAT TOYOTA HAS TAKEN ANY ACTION. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GET INJURED OR KILLED. IF THERE IS A RECALL NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

THE SEAT BELT IS FOLDED OVER IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR PILLAR AND I CANNOT FREE IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH FRONT SEAT BELTS IN THE PAST AND I WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO FREE IT. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND IN MY DRIVEWAY.

THE VISOR, WHICH IS ALL STEEL , SLICED MY FOREHEAD OPEN.I DO NOT THINK A STEEL VISOR SHOULD BE IN FRONT OF A DRIVERS HEAD.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IS STILL ON.

ON APRIL 21, 2015 I HAD MY CAR IN THE DEALER FOR A OIL CHANGE ETC. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER I NOTICED THAT MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON LOCATED ON THE DASH AND ALSO THE AIR BAG LIGHT STATED THAT IT WAS OFF. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND SHOWED HIM WHAT HAPPENED AND HE STATED THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $700.00 TO REPAIR THE COMPUTER. I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT ON WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND NOW IT IS ON. I ONLY HAVE APPROX., 48,000 ON THIS CAR AND I PURCHASED IT NEW IN NOV. 2005. HE DID NOT FIX IT AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I GET INTO A ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK. I DO NOT HAVE THE $700.00 TO GET IT FIXED. I DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT HE TOLD ME, IT MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. AS LONG AS THE AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON IT WILL NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. I NEED IT FIXED. THANK YOU.

MY AIRBAGS LIGHT IS ON AND MY AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS. I BROUGHT MY INTO THE DEALER AND HE SAID THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING MY AIRBAG SYSTEM TO BE INOPERABLE. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I ONLY HAVE 49,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I AM IN A ACCIDENT MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT PROTECT ME.
