 Description of the problemPotential taketa recall. July 14, 2018. I had made a left hand turn into the parking lot of a local convenience store. Time was approximately 7 p. M. As i pulled into the parking spot, the drivers side front tire bumped the curb. The drivers side center airbag, located in the steering wheel did not deploy. It exploded! I thought someone had rammed into my car. When the airbag blew, it sounded like someone had fired a couple of 12 guage shotguns in the vehicle. Smoke was billowing out from the left and right sides of the steering wheel and column. It smelled like something electrical was on fire. The impact from the exploding airbag was not a pleasant experience to say the least. By the time i unbuckled my seat belt to exit the car, the smoke inside the vehicle was so thick i could not see out the windshield. My chest and hand are sore, but nothing appears to be broken. I left the vehicle where it was parked and have made arrangements to have it towed to the local dealershiop where i purchased the car, so that a complete evaluation can be done to determine the extent of damage to the vehicle that resulted from the exploding airbag. When i checked the vin on this website, it did not come up as being on the airbag recall. That needs to change asap. Thank goodness i was the only person in the vehicle. I shudder to think of what could have happened if there were passengers in the vehicle when that airbag blew!
