What owners wrote
Was at a standstill when I was hit by a 1999 dodge neon on right front side...the neon shred the front of my car from passenger side to driver side, traveling deeper into the front end of the car as it went across my car from right front to left front. The airbag did open, however, between 8 and 9 o'clock on the steering wheel the bag caught fire and when up in flames. The left side of the bag was damaged by fire and my left hand was burned.
Toyota found occupant ECU needed replacement internal failure. Simply the seatbelt light and airbag warning lights came on. . Air bag system automatically shuts off and is not protecting passenger in the event of an accident.
