Car catch a fire while I was working inside

Filed Apr 17, 2020 · Airbags, Body · NY

My dashboard has a tear over the airbag on the front passenger side. I took it to the toyota dealership on franklin st. In hempstead before the covid 19 virus shut down. I was informed that since there's no recall on my vehicle, I would have to pay out of pocket to change the dashboard cover. I think it's a safety issue since this happened through no fault of my own. The vehicle is in mint condition and runs like new because I take care of my cars. Please help

The heating element on the passanger side mirror overheated "cooking" the glass on the mirror (adding a smoky dark gray cast) that reduces visibility especially at night.

I rear ended car and the lower airbag deployed striking me just below by knees. My right leg developed a hematoma from the airbag deployment and required surgery. I still have a large depressed area on my leg, a scar, tenderness and darkening of the skin, all which will require further surgery to repair.

Noticed that the dashboard section air bag (console) on passenger side has started "cracking". When first noticed it was approximate one inch in length, & is progressing currently approximate 2" inches in length. Call toyota to inform and suggested I take to dealership where I service my vehicle. Upon doing so the dealership stated it was ok and wouldn't diminish the integrity of the airbags going off. I still feel this is a safety issue with the console proceeding to crack, and believe once summer heat continues to hit dashboard it will progress to crack further. Wife ( passenger) is quite concerned since she notices the crack getting longer. We garage our car, but if car was parked out in sun it could possibly get worse.

I have called toyota in houston, tx several times about my melting and cracking dashboard. I was told this was normal wear and tear. My car is garaged, and only out for short amounts of driving time. On december 31, 2014, I saw on the national nbc news that there is a recall for the dashboard problems. I called toyota this morning, jan. 2, 2015, and was told they know nothing about a recall. I must have a letter for them to due recall work. I'd like to file this complaint, hoping my car, make and model will be added so that I receive a recall notice. Thank you.
