Narrative

Keep in mind: BRAND NEW SIENNA!!! 1.

My whole family and my children would've been seriously injured or departed from this world had we not had the seat belt on and the way it all played out! All of the airbags, including the driver's knee airbag, passenger seat cushion airbag, front seat side airbags, rear outboard seat side airbags, and curtain side airbags for all three rows , malfunctioned and car was in a standstill on the fastest left lane #1 on I-95 with no cushioning or failsafe mechanism active 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? -NO, and Toyota was very quick and desperate to get their hands on my vehicle and to get me to sign their authorization instead of wait. As a computer scientist, I know when information systems can be exploited/manipulated and all my driving data and accident/metadata is collected constantly by Toyota so in short: "NO TRANSPARENCY" 4.Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? -YES, two very biased partisans involv
