“While driving in my neighborhood,the airbag on the steering wheel exploded. I was hit my chest and arm. The noise was so loud that ,I have not been able to get rid of ear ringing. My wife was also in the vehicle and the smoke from explosion caused her throat to become raw.”

“While driving down a divided highway, the drivers side air bag deployed with no warning. Luckily, no one was seriously injured. The driver had cuts and bruises (see photos). We immediately took the truck to the nearest Toyota dealership in milledgeville, ga. The service manager said that there was nothing that they could do. He said that the truck was old and probably just got hot . He offered to give me a razor knife to cut the airbag off of the steering wheel. …”

“June 1, 2017, while driving straight about 40 MPH on the highway, in 5 o'clock traffic, the airbag deployed without reason. I was not hurt and the incident did not cause an accident. The steering column shroud is original, the shroud came in two colors, oak and moon mist. It is unknown at this time what happened but I have done some research and from what it reads, the airbag sensor is located next to the engine and is exposed to the elements which caused it to malfunction.”

“While driving up the road my driver's airbag suddenly deployed for no reason. Have read on the internet that this has happened to many others and that humidity could affect the sensors on the airbag system. This was a humid day, I was driving on a newly paved, smooth two lane road and had not struck anything nor had anything struck me. Fortunately, I was able to pull over and safely stop in spite of the cab being filled with the smoke from the airbag. I suffered burns on my chest and left arm and bruising on my left hand and arm.”

“I got into my vehicle and turned the key. The airbag exploded in my face. The vehicle was parked and completely still. The emergency brake was on and it was not in gear. The impact of the explosion caused mild injuries. I tried to work with Toyota on this problem but they were unhelpful. I cut the airbag off and have continued to drive the vehicle. The horn will not work and of course I have no airbag protection. The vehicle had never been in a wreck at the time that the airbag deployed. I have records of my interaction with Toyota that will prove that. …”
