Toyota Corolla dx 1997 the car was sold by the manufacturer in St louis Missouri while I was in law school. The car has been now in Florida for the last ten year in a warm, extremely humid climate. The manufacturer has admitted to a problem with the airbags. Apparently in humid climates. Now does it not make sense to check out the airbag if the car has been in a humid climate.regardless where the car was sold " or is the car safe because it was sold somewhere else and if the car is then driven in a humid climate the airbag will work since the dealership was in a cold weather climate"
