Instructions say a 12 yr. Old or under should sit in the back seat due to the fact an airbag could kill the child. However, we are only 5 feet 2 inches which is the size of a 12 yr old. Shouldn't our airbags be disconnected??.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/25/2008

My mother was driving back from her second home on the 60 freeway in southern California at normal highway speed and came up upon stopped traffic. She applied her brakes hard but ran into the back of one vehicle which was pushed out of the lane and then my mother continued into the back of another vehicle before coming to a stop. In neither of the 2 separate collisions did any of the airbags in her 2003 Toyota rav 4 deploy. Because of the accident she broke her neck between c5 and c6 in her spinal column and has been in the icu unit of the local hospital ever since.
