On May 22, 2026, I got off work and started my 2021 Toyota Corolla LE when I noticed the SRS airbag warning light was on. The warning light has remained on ever since.

schedule a service appointment at AutoNation Toyota Hayward for October 14, 2026, at 8:40 AM. I arrived before 8:37. At that time, I was told it would only take three hours to complete. The car hadn't moved at 11:37. At that time I asked when it could be completed. I was told there's no estimated completion time. So I’ve decided to leave. Why was my appointment set for 8:40 if nobody was free to deal with this until 11:37 ?

The driver’s side A pillar that houses the airbag is not flush with the headliner. There is a gap in the upper section of the A pillar. This gap causes a distraction while driving because the gap is directly in front of the driver’s view. I took the vehicle to the Toyota of Corona dealer in Corona, CA to have the A pillar gap fixed so it is flush and not a distraction while driving. I was provided a video made by the technician of his inspection. In the video the technician acknowledged the gap…
