Description of the problem | I recently had to take my car into the local toyota dealership because my airbag light came on and would not go off. I told the service rep that i had just recently had brought it in on the recall issued regarding the airbag defect. I was told it would cost me $131 just to diagnosis it. I argued that it should not cost me anything since there was initial issues with the airbag. I called the recall people and they agreed with me. I took my car in and was told by the tech that the problem was related to the spiral coil cable in the airbag. He said it was a nonrelated issue, which i argued how could it not be if its related to the airbag. He told me that my airbag may or may not deploy because of the spiral coil. I fail to see how the 2 are not interconnected. If one part of the airbag manufacturing was defected then it only reasons that other parts of the airbag could also be defective. Since they both are related to deployment. If the manufacture could produce one defective part or use defective material why could it not be reasoned that other parts are defective too. The manufacture should be concerned with public and individual safety not profit.! Upon further investigation i found others are having the same issues. They made and expensive product at the cost of the consumer (lives, money, time, and safety). All airbag issues should be included in this recall until the proper issues is identified. Maybe the sensor and the spiral coil are connected in proper deployment. This needs to be investigated asap and another recall issued before more injuries and deaths occur. Consumer safety should be number 1 priority in fixing and resolving this issue. I scared to drive my car but i have to.!!! Not knowing if the airbag will or will not deploy in the event of accident or if i hit a pot hole is just to risky. Toyota should fix all airbag complaints and issues without cost!!! |
