Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2000 Toyota Camry

Air bag light comes on at start up and stays on when weather gets cold. Defect does not occur in summer. Also if vehicle is warmed up or kept in a heated building or the weather is warm the air bag light does not come on at start up and stay on. Dealer says must replace sensor.

Due to poor design of air bag system, the driver bent the steering wheel with his chest. Sensor installed to low on the vehicle.

While driving 50-55 mph brakes failed, vehicle hit a 6 inch concrete curb, went through a fence and hit a tree headon. Upon impact, neither airbag deployed. Tree branch went through windshield, and hit consumer in face requiring 18 stitches , and busted open chin. Vehicle was totalled. Consumer applied brakes because a vibration was felt while driving, consumer took photos of accident and one shows the front drivers side mounting of the airbag sensor with the steel beam attachment bracket bent up showing the force of impact.
