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.

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.
