AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
ON 2/6/00, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS A PASSENGER IN MY TOTOTA CAMRY. THE DRIVER WAS SLIGHTLY INJURED; I SUSTAINED BACK INJUREIS. TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT WERE TERRIFED. WE WERE DRIVING ALONG A ROAD NEAR THE EEL RIVER IN MENDOCINO COUNTY, CA WHEN IT SUDDENTLY DEPLOYED. I PURCHASED THIS USDE VEHICLE IN JULY 1999 FROM AIRPORT AUTO BROKERS WHICH DISAVOWS ANY RESPONSIBILITY. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THURSTON TOYOTA IN UKIAH AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A CODE 14 FAILURE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TOYOTA REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE JEFF BUCHANAN WOULD DO NOTHING, AND THAT I SHOULD CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A CLAIM #200002290983.AND TOLD IT WILL BE INSPECTED AND THAT THE LEGAL DEPT. WILL MAKE A DEICISION IN 60 DAYS. MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THURSTON TOYOTA IS THAT MR. BUCHANAN DOES NOT BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS A RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, EVEN THOUGH THE PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE. PLEASE INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR AS I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS SAFE. *AK
