    Thanks but there is no way in hell I'm touching an airbag! I've seen one go off, its not nice.
    There are thousands of everyday objects that have the ability to maim/kill, but if handled correctly are perfectly safe.

    I doubt very much it's the bag itself, the first place I'd be looking is under the seat (that you said is constantly moved) for a duff connection.
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it

    Ok, toyotas first offer of 'goodwill' was a £150 voucher on parts and servicing for my current car. Did they not bother to read my complaint? Told them i want (well need) to change my car asap and its just had a service, so their voucher is pretty much useless.
