We discovered that there was an explosion of some sort inside the car on the passenger side, which seems to have potentially involve the air bag system and/or electrical around the system, but this is not entirely known. The car was parked at the time and had not been driven for approximately 65 hours. It appears there was a fire but we did not witness. The dash is melted leaving a gaping hole, what appears to be portions of the air bag are partially disintegrated and stuck to the ceiling, the ceiling is charred, the sun visor is melted and distorted, and hanging down, underneath the dash is also melted, and the smell in the car is absolutely stifling. The windshield is shattered in one spot, with additional cracks stemming from that point of contact. The windshield is damaged from the impact from inside the car and is pushing out. The car was locked, there is no evidence of forced entry or attempted forced entry. It has never been in a collision. The car was parked three feet away from our motorhome in the confines of our RV spot at an asphalt campground. The safety of all in the area was at risk, and furthermore, since this explosion was unprovoked, if we had been in the car at the time, it's unimaginable as to what sort of bodily damage the passengers, especially the passenger seat occupant, would have incurred. I do not believe the problem can be reproduced, but the car has yet to be inspected. I am currently awaiting insurance to take the car via tow truck to inspect it. There were no warnings, messages, or other symptoms.

I was involved in an accident in 8/19 where I was hit from behind. I was injured and now I found out there's a recall on the airbags and the seatbelts. The airbag did not deploy and the seatbelt do not tighten to keep me from breaking my nose and damaging my C4/C5/C6/C7 in my neck. The car was totaled and I no longer have it in my possession. The accident is well documented
The airbag light on the passenger side of the car started blinking red when the car is off, when the car is on the light says the airbag is off. I took it to the Toyota dealer like I was recommended to do after checking the recall website. Auto nation Toyota at 12111 gulf freeway in houston Texas for them to fix the problem.after in less than an hour the service attendant called me and told me that the car needed the windshield wipers replaced and the ac and engine filters needed to be replaced and it was going to cost 4 or 5 hundred dollars to fix. When I told her I just wanted the airbags fixed she told me the car was ready and I could come and pick it up. When I got there to pick it up the airbag light was still on as if nothing was done to fix the problem. When I told her that they did not fix the car that the airbag light was still on. I was told that there is a lot of work involved in fixing the problem to where the light would go of such as sensors, electrical, and computer resetting. And that they are only required to replace the airbag. I responded with "that was not was I was informed. I was informed that you are supposed to repair the problem and repairing the problem means that the light would go off in its original state or how would I know that the problem is fixed." He said I was informed wrong especially if I got the information off the internet. In other words, he was telling me that it was too much work for them to repair for free. So what do I do now, am I suppose to continue to drive in an unsafe car I feel like because I was not willing to pay for the services that to be repaired then they were not going to do anything at all. That tells me that they are price gouging and doing illegal business practices and something needs to be done immediately.
