Symptom: When brakes are applied, car will violently jerk to the left into the path of oncoming traffic. Countersteering to prevent collision results in left front tire skidding with poor braking. Cause: Initially, the suspected cause was a failed right front brake caliper. However, upon investigation, it was found that the ABS braking module was blocking all brake fluid from going to the right front caliper. Solution: ABS braking module must be replaced. Comment: It should be assumed…

The contact owns a 2006 Scion XA. The contact stated that while seated in the vehicle while the vehicle was parked, the front passenger’s side air bag deployed without impact and caused the windshield to shatter.

The air bag light has been trigger on and won't go off. Nov 1, 2018 If the air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners unintentionally deploy, it can increase the risk of a crash. If the air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners are deactivated, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

NEAR 100,000 MILES, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT; LIGHT JUST CAME ON ONE DAY UPON STARTING IT UP. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS LIGHT CAN REPRESENT AN ERROR IN CRASH SENSORS, AIR BAG SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS, SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR, ETC. INTERNET FORUMS SAY THAT OFTEN ONE OF THE WIRES UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS JUST WORKED LOOSE. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND IT WAS NOT A LOOSE WIRE. THEY SAY A CERTAIN BOX IN THE SRS SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING, AND THE REPLACEMENT WILL…

MY SCION AX 2006 WAS RECALLED DUE TO A FLASHING AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. THE DEALER MADE THE LIGHT GO OUT, FIXED IT LAST YEAR 2018. NOW THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $199 TO JUST CHECK IT, NO REPAIR INCLUDED. IT APPEARS TO BE AN ADDITIONAL AIRBAG DEFECT AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE WARNING LIGHT OTHER THAN A DEFECT. WHAT CAN I/YOU DO???? KIND REGARDS, [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM…

Crash

COULD NOT GET THE FORM TO PULL UP, BUT I NEED TO COMPLAIN. MY 2 KIDS AND I WERE TURNING OFF ONE SIDE ROAD TO TURN ONTO ANOTHER.
