Consumer Description

I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND TURNED THE KEY. THE AIRBAG EXPLODED IN MY FACE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND COMPLETELY STILL. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ON AND IT WAS NOT IN GEAR. THE IMPACT OF THE EXPLOSION CAUSED MILD INJURIES. I TRIED TO WORK WITH TOYOTA ON THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY WERE UNHELPFUL. I CUT THE AIRBAG OFF AND HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE HORN WILL NOT WORK AND OF COURSE I HAVE NO AIRBAG PROTECTION. THE VEHICLE HAD NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK AT THE TIME THAT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I HAVE RECORDS OF MY INTERACTION WITH TOYOTA THAT WILL PROVE THAT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN A WRECK TWO YEARS AFTER THE AIRBAG EXPLODED. I STILL OWN AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE.
