Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DIVIDED HIGHWAY, THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITH NO WARNING. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE DRIVER HAD CUTS AND BRUISES (SEE PHOTOS). WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN MILLEDGEVILLE, GA. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. HE SAID THAT THE "TRUCK WAS OLD AND PROBABLY JUST GOT HOT". HE OFFERED TO GIVE ME A RAZOR KNIFE TO CUT THE AIRBAG OFF OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I FIND THIS RESPONSE APPALLING IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT IT WAS APPARENTLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND NOT THE RESULT OF ANYTHING THAT WE HAD DONE.
