WE QUESTION WHY NONE OF THE 4 AIRBAGS (2 SIDES, DRIVER OR PASSENGER) DEPLOYED IN A CRASH THAT HAD THE 2010 SCION XB AIRBORNE. AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED RESTING UPRIGHT ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE RESPONSE WAS APPROPRIATE? THE CAR WILL LIKELY BE TOTALED BY STATE

WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED, AND WE CONTINUE TO WAIT 4 MONTHS LATER FOR PARTS THAT ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. MY SON IS DRIVING THIS CAR NOW. THIS SPECIFIC RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED IN MAY 2016, BUT TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO MAKE A REMEDY AVAILABLE. THIS MEANS MY SON, AND HIS PASSENGERS, ARE AT RISK OF A DEADLY AIRBAG EXPLOSION AND TOYOTA MUST BE MADE TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT THE RECALL REMEDY IMMEDIATELY. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO PARK THE VEHICLE UNTIL TOYOTA GETS AROUND TO IT, OR TURN IT INTO A ONE-PERSON VEHICLE, WHEN WE PAID FOR A 4-PERSON VEHICLE.
