COPY OF AN EMAIL SENT TO TOYOTA: I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT AN ISSUE THAT JUST AROSE WITH MY TOYOTA SOLARA CONVERTIBLE. IT IS A 2007 VEHICLE THAT I LOVE. I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT AND DRIVE IT JUDICIOUSLY. I ONLY HAVE 31,500 (APPROXIMATELY) MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT WHICH I PURCHASED IT FOR MAINTENANCE, ANY RECALL REPAIRS NEEDED, ETC. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE, THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND, NO MATTER HOW MINOR. THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED FOR ANY REASON. NOW, FOR MY COMPLAINT: ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND IMMEDIATELY MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS EXAMINED. LAST THURSDAY, THE 17TH OF MAY, THE SERVICE MAN AT THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT WORKING, CANNOT BE FIXED AND THE SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACED. I ORDERED SAID SYSTEM SINCE I DO NOT WANT TO BE WITHOUT THE AIRBAG PROTECTION. HOWEVER? I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT HAVING TO SPEND $700 TO REPLACE THIS NEEDED SYSTEM WHEN NOTHING OCCURRED TO CAUSE THIS SYSTEM TO FAIL. I KNOW I NEED IT AND FEEL THAT I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE CARE OF THE CAR AND HAVE NOT ABUSED IT. I REALIZE REGULAR MAINTENANCE IS NECESSARY AND SOME THINGS OCCASIONALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED, SUCH AS, TIRES, BRAKES, ETC. BUT AN AIRBAG SYSTEM? REALLY? MY OTHER CAR IS A 2009 TOYOTA RAV 4 AND I HAVE ALSO TRIED TO CARE FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG IN THE RAV 4 OR ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE HAD IN THE PAST (SINCE AIRBAGS WERE FIRST INSTALLED IN CARS). THIS REALLY, REALLY UPSETS ME!!! I AND MY HUSBAND ARE RETIREES AND ON A FIXED INCOME AND REALLY FEEL THE EXPENSE FOR THIS ITEM IS HORRIBLE AND WONDER WHY SOMETHING LIKE THIS ISN?T COVERED BY TOYOTA. *JS

MY DASH PANEL IS STICKY CRACKING AND IN A STATE OF DETERIORATION . MY CONCERN IS THAT IN AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT PARTS OF THIS CRACKED DASH COULD IMPACT MY EYES LIKE BROKEN GLASS. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND RARELY USED AS IT IS AT A VACATION HOME. IT DOES NOT SIT IN THE SUN OR A PARKING LOT. IT IS DETERIORATING ON ITS OWN. *…
