Another Toyota Recall

Toyota said on Thursday it would recall about 333000 of its cars because of the risk airbags would deploy randomly.

Great!

Here is the news link:

Yahoo News: Toyota to recall 333,000 SUVs for airbag risk

Quote:

Toyota said that, in cases where two sensors fail at almost the same time, the side curtain airbags designed to protect passengers in a rollover accident could be inflated outside such an accident.

In cases where just one of the sensors fails, the airbags warning light will be activated, the automaker said.

I hate airbags. I'd rather go without so I don't have to be afraid of my steering wheel exploding in my face all the time.

When I used to sell cars, a girl came in that had her airbag go off randomly and knocked her out, causing her to drive off the highway and total her car in horrific fashion. Needless to say, that Volvo did not come in on trade...

A shame really, yeah Toyota takes the hit but most if not all of these recalls have to do with the parts suppliers, but this just goes to show you, problems are little and electrical related, recalls are probably gonna be quite normal unless they step up the quality
