MY 2008 TOYOTA MATRIX WAS UNDER RECALL SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED IN OCTOBER 2019. AT THAT TIME I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I WAS PROVIDED WITH A RENTAL CAR. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED WITH THE TOYOTA AIR BAG REMEDY ON JUNE 11, 2020 BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE REMEDY HAS CAUSED THE COVER TO POP UP AND A CREASE IS FORMING ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE AIRBAG COVER. ALSO, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT SAYS OFF WHEN A PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED. THE PASSENGER INDICATOR LIGHT WORKED PROPERLY WHEN I LAST DROVE MY CAR IN OCTOBER OF 2019. *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND THEN INSTANTLY COLLAPSED. IT OFFERED NO PROTECTION WHATSOEVER. I EXPERIENCED SEVERE PAIN IN MY CHEST AND RIGHT BREAST FROM WHERE THE SEAT BELT LOCKED. THIS PAIN LASTED FOR 6 WEEKS. IF THE AIRBAG HAD WORKED PROPERLY, IT WOULD HAVE CUSHIONED THE IMPACT AND LIKELY MADE IT POSSIBLE TO LESSEN THE NEED FOR THE SEATBELT TO DO ALL OF THE WORK. THIS MUST BE FIXED! (MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHEN A PERSON DRIVING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION MADE A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ME AND TOTALED MY VEHICLE. I NO LONGER HAVE THE CAR, BUT I HAVE A PHOTO OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG.)
