CARPET IS SEPARATING AT THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONSOLE NEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. TOYOTA DEALER SAID THERE WAS WATER DAMAGE THAT CAUSED THE CARPET TO SHRINK AND SEPARATE. SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I HAVE NEVER HAD WATER DAMAGE. THERE IS NO RECORD OF WATER DAMAGE IN VEHICLE HISTORY. I WAS TOLD CARPET COULD NOT BE FIXED, HOWEVER, THE DEALER DID FINALLY AGREE TO FIX THE CARPET AND IT HAS ALREADY COME "UNGLUED." THE DEALER DOES NOT RESPOND TO MY REQUESTS FOR SERVICE TO CORRECT THE CARPET SAG. IT IS NOW SAGGING SO MUCH MY RIGHT ANKLE TOUCHES IT WHEN I DRIVE. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, STRUCTURE
WE HAVE A 2004 TOYOTA SOLARA. RECENTLY WE HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL CRACKS/FRACTURES IN THE DASH BOARD, PRIMARILY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR. TOYOTA MAINTAINS THE SITUATION IS COSMETIC AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. OUR CONCERN IS THIS IS A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED THROUGH THE DASHBOARD. IF THE DASHBOARD IS WEAKENED BY THIS CRACKING. WOULD THIS INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING INCORRECTLY, THUS RAISING THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY OR DEATH? WE HAVE A DISABLED DAUGHTER THAT FREQUENTLY SITS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE SITUATION IS SAFE FOR HER. *TR
