Vehicle was in Park and keys were out and I was on passenger side unloading a shelf and the shelf hit the shifter and the vehicle started rolling backwards and ran over my leg.
I would like to point out that both Driver and Police Officer safety may be improved if all vehicle designers and manufacturers were to disrupt the convention of locating caches for the drivers vehicle registration information at or below driver shoulder height. It may be a fairly inconsequential to implement a design standard so that the paper copy of a drivers registration and insurance would be neatly and preferentially stored at a height relativistic of the drivers shoulders so that every driver would naturally move through the motion of raising their hands into the air to retrieve requested registration information
Malfunctioning components 1. Door locks do not lock all the time when the lock button is pressed. 2. Randomly I will find my doors unlocked, when I closed them when I got out. 3. Doors unlock by themselves and that poses a problem for me and my family. To be able to figure out the issue I have to take it to the dealer where they charge an arm and a leg to diagnose the issue, due to Covid-19 and the hardship it has caused my family I don’t have the funds to do that. Somebody has to push the dealers to help the consumers out for a change. Thank you.

Both of the rear seatbelts on my 2010 toyota yarus won't retract. Initially, the rear left seat belt stopped retracting and then several months later the rear right side seat belt stopped retracting.
For the second times in 18 month my right side mirror exploded the back part flew to somebody yard there were no one on the but me no truck no kid trowing rock I head a big explosion then the mirror slammed on the side window so hard that the window has some scratches . The first time toyota fixed it but I have to paid $180.00 because they t said never heard to a side mirror exploding let me tell you it IS scrairry you driving and you hear that explosion

November 10, 2017 - I was t-boned by a motorist (who ran the light) on the drivers side while attempting a left hand turn thru an intersection. the 2010 toyota yaris I was driving was totaled by the collision ($8,266.72 of damage to the drivers side). the yaris side airbags did not deploy. The yaris's left driver side door was collapsed into the yaris cabin with enough force to break my samsung note 4 phone display & damage its internal solid state drive. the samsung note 4 was encased in an otter box and attached to my left hip via otter belt clip during the time of accident. my head struck a hard surface in the yaris, resulting in a large hematoma on my left frontal lobe. toyota investigated and found that within the span of 68 milliseconds, the lateral delta-v airbag sensor was accelerated from 0.0 mph to 11.1 mph. yet the side airbag did not deploy. per toyota, since the side airbag sensor was deemed in proper working order and did not designate the collision warranted deployment of airbags, everything functioned normally. when queried what threshold was required to deploy the airbags (noting the instantaneous lateral acceleration of a 2300+ lbs vehicle from 0 mph to 11 mph was insufficient), toyota insisted I hire my own engineers to research. toyota's unwillingness to assist leads me to believe they are only interested in covering up a potential flaw in the srs airbag system utilized in the yaris and potentially other toyota vehicle models. toyota's cavalier regard for the safety of toyota customers potentially places millions of toyota customers at risk of severe injury or even death.
TL* the contact owns a 2010 toyota yaris. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to autonation toyota buena park (6400 beach blvd, buena park, ca 90621, (714) 627-5562) for nhtsa campaign numbers: 16v340000 and 14v168000 (air bags). Thirty minutes after the vehicle was repaired, the contact drove from the dealer lot and the rear driver's side window shattered without warning. The contact took the vehicle back to autonation toyota buena park, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer stated that nothing they repaired caused the window to shatter. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.
Takata recall I received several notices to have my air bag replaced. I connected with toyota and my dealer and was told the air bags are on order and I will be contacted when it comes in. it has now been over 2 months! this IS dangerous and unacceptable! I want the stupid thing removed!

NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
