Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The driver's side airbag deployed in a low speed front end collision and caught my clothing and me one fire, causing second degree burns across my chest. i now know that there were so many complaints of drivers catching on fire from airbag deployment in 1995 toyota corollas that there was a five month investigation of the problem in 1997 (pe97-017) which did not result in a recall. i am shocked that you did not require toyota to recall airbags that catch drivers on fire. i hope that you re-open the investigation and order toyota to recall these faulty products.*ak |
