TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT.

Mileage: 159,000

I ORDERED A SUPER SIZED DRINK THAT WAS TOO LARGE TO FIT IN THE CUP HOLDER, SO I SAT THE DRINK IN THE CENTER CONSOLE TO KEEP IT STABILE WHILE I DROVE HOME. A CAR DROVE THRU THE STOP SIGN WITHOUT STOPPING AND I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP AND THE DRINK TIPPED OVER IN THE CONSOLE. I REMOVED THE CONSOLE THINKING I CAN WIPE OFF WHATEVER I CAN WIPE OFF , LET THE AREA AIR DRY FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AND IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT REMAINED ON WHILE DRIVING. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED IN A LOW SPEED FRONT END COLLISION AND CAUGHT MY CLOTHING AND ME ONE FIRE, CAUSING SECOND DEGREE BURNS ACROSS MY CHEST. I NOW KNOW THAT THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF DRIVERS CATCHING ON FIRE FROM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN 1995 TOYOTA COROLLAS THAT THERE WAS A FIVE MONTH INVESTIGATION OF THE PROBLEM IN 1997 (PE97-017) WHICH DID NOT RESULT IN A RECALL. I AM SHOCKED THAT YOU DID NOT REQUIRE TOYOTA TO RECALL AIRBAGS THAT CATCH DRIVERS ON FIRE. I HOPE THAT YOU RE-OPEN THE INVESTIGATION AND ORDER TOYOTA TO RECALL THESE FAULTY PRODUCTS.*AK
