MY CAR IS IM COROLLA 2017. WHEN I WAS DRIVING 2 DAYS AGO THE AIR BAG WARNING APPEARED IN THE DASHBOARD. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA TO BE CHECKED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE THAT CONNECTS TO THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I TOLD THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY CAR IS ONLY MORE THAN 3 YEARS OLD WITH 32,000 MILEAGE. MY CONCERN IS MY SAFETY DRIVING A CAR WHEN THE SPIRAL CABLE ATTACHED TO THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG IS DAMAGED WHICH COULD DEACTIVATES THE AIRBAG AND CAUSED THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON. HE MENTIONED I NEED TO PAY ROUGHLY $700.00 FOR THE SPIRAL ELECTRICAL WIRE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE HE HAUD MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY ALREADY. IS IT REALLY MY FAULT IF THE SPIRAL CABLE IS DAMAGED THAT DEACTIVATES THE AIRBAG OR IS IT AN EXISTING ISSUE CONCERNING SPIRAL CABLE CONNECTED TO AIRBAGS. THANK YOU.

I WON'T TO KNOW WHY IT'S NOT MANDATORY FOR ALL NEWLY MANUFACTURED VEHICLES TO HAVE THE COMPUTERIZED BLIND SPOT ASSISTANCE (BSA) SYSTEM INSTALLED? THIS SYSTEM MUST BE MANDATORY THE SAME AS SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS. VEHICLES SUCH AS THE NISSANS HAVE ADVANCED WARNING SYSTEMS FOR BLIND SPOTS. COUNTLESS MOTOR VEHICLES ACCIDENTS HAPPEN DAILY BECAUSE DRIVERS CAN'T PROPERLY SEE EXISTING TRAFFIC PRIOR TO CHANGING LANES DUE TO SIDE MIRROR BLIND SPOTS. THE DUAL/DOUBLE SIDE MIRROR MUST BE MADE AVAILABLE SO THE DEALERS OR THE INDIVIDUAL CAN REMOVE/REPLACE ALL EXISTING MIRRORS. IT NEEDS TO BE MANDATORY FOR CURRENT OWNERS OF ALL VEHICLES BEING DRIVEN TO HAVE AT LEAST THE DUAL/SPLIT MIRROR. THIS SAFETY REQUIREMENT WILL SAVE COUNTLESS LIVES EACH DAY. THESE WARNING SYSTEMS SHOULD NOT BE A LUXURY FOR ONLY THE RICH. EVERY LIFE MATTERS. THE TECHNOLOGY IS THERE AND MUST BE USED TO HELP SAVE LIVES. PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO WHOM EVER CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR CHANGE.

FROM A COMPLETE STOP WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE YOU CAN PUSH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT WILL ACCELERATE EXTREMELY SLOW THEN WILL TAKE OFF CREATING ONE OF TWO SAFETY CONCERNS. EITHER YOU MUST FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC OR FEATHER THE ACCELERATOR AND GET RUN OVER FROM BEHIND.
