Description of the problem	Air bag destroyed due to defective materials.... Toyota? S choice of sugar cane, bio-based materials resulted in complete failure of an air bag in my vehicle when mice, attracted to the materials ate through an air bag. We are all very fortunate that after battlefield toyota failed to find and report the destroyed airbag, it was discovered by an independent mechanic and not by a death due to air bag failure... Updated 11/13/15 *bf when i reported rodent damage to my 2012 prius c 4 caused by bio-based materials, toyota denied any liability or responsibility. I am filing this complaint after repeated attempts to reach a settlement with toyota. I have owned a toyota vehicle for over 30 years. None of the vehicles were parked inside a garage. I have a 1996 toyota pick up truck parked beside my 2012 prius c. The mice have never entered the truck, even though it is seldom moved. Toyota must accept responsibility for the safety hazards (air bag destroyed) caused by animals attracted to the interior of the car by feed stock (sugar cane) materials. I have made every attempt to keep mice out of my car, including mouse traps and poison. The mice quickly learn to avoid traps and poison in order to eat the car? S bio-based materials.
