Description of the problem	I have a 2008 toyota highlander that has never been in a crash. On thursday, feb. 11,2016 as i was driving down the highway the airbag warnings light came on. The info screen said to take my car to the dealer immediately and there were 2 warning signals on the dash as well. My car has 88,000 miles on it. I called our local dealer where i purchased the car brand new. Atkinson toyota in bryan, texas. I spoke to chris in service and he said how quick can i get it there. Naturally my husband was out of town so i said it would be monday, feb15,2016 before i could get it in. I have since done research online and found hundreds of complaints, injuries and bewilderment as to why this issue has not been recalled. The service technician i spoke to gave me no information as to this problem occurring in other highlanders,said he would need my car for an entire day and that i could rent a car onsite at my on expense. I feel that toyota is being extremely negligent and putting passengers lives at stake. I plan to call the dealer tomorrow. Please report this problem as soon as possible before someone gets killed because their airbags did not deploy. I would call this gross negligence on the part of toyota as it is clearly evident that they are aware of the problem. Thank you.
