Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	At this approximate date, i began getting a warning light re. My air bags. My dealer said i would have to replace the faulty steering wheel air bag assembly costing me between $1000-1500 or more to replace it. Now, other corollas are being recalled but mine is not being recalled. It appears that my car has had the same problem for an even longer period of time than those that are being recalled. I have not yet been able to afford to have it repaired. I recently read in the news that these problems began in 1998, the year i purchased my car. My car has just now turned 100,000 miles and i feel that i should be included in the ongoing recall that includes other toyota owners. I believe that it is not only arbitrary but dangerous for me for you to exclude me from this recall. I hereby request that you include my car in this recall. Thank you.
