Air Bag Not Deploy Problems of Lexus ES

The Lexus Es 350, was turning left onto side street within a sub division, and ran up the curb and hit a tree with the right front side of the vehicle. Significant damage done to the car, and so much damaged that the car has been totaled by insurance company. Driver unsure if vehicle accelerated on its own or just lost control. The greater issue or concern was not what caused the accident, but that the air bags did not deploy after the impact and the driver broke their nose and has been treated 3 times in er since crash. In speaking with repair shop, they informed me that there are 2 air bag sensors at the front of the car, and both are near the headlights. He was surprised that given the damage and impact of the collision (to right front of car by headlight, pictures attached), that the air bags did not deploy.

Takata recall or takata issues - I was involved in an accident in my 2012 Lexus Es 350. I was hit from behind by another vehicle (2005 Jeep liberty) at about 45mph and my front airbags did not deploy. I read the owners manual which indicated that if hit from behind the front airbags do not deploy with the exception of front collisions. This is extremely dangerous and unsafe for all consumers because the force of the accident while the vehicle was in motion on a city street caused me and my husband as the passengers bodily harm. My head hit the steering wheel and his head hit the dashboard - concussions and lost consciousness. Had we been hit any harder it could have resulted in death. Also, had the Lexus been designed to deploy the front airbags deployed when hit from behind at a certain speed, it would have prevented us from hitting our heads on such hard surfaces. I am outrage and disappointed that such a luxury car could not keep us safe. Because of this experience I am hesitant about purchasing another Lexus or recommending that anyone else I know purchase a Lexus.

Takata recall, my wife was involved in a frontal collision at @35mph in which her airbags did not deploy. I am concerned that since the sensors were knocked off during the impact, what could have happened to prevent the airboys from deploying? she was traveling at 35 mph into an intersection when she ran a red light and t-boned another vehicle. Fortunately the vehicle she hit was a Jeep wrangler with a steel side bumper on all sides. So there way minimal damage to the Jeep.

Head on crash at 35-40 mph. On frisco, TX city street. Frontal airbags did not deploy. No airbags deployed.

On Nov. 6, 2007 I was the last vehicle in a four car pile-up. The Honda in front of me was totaled and my 2005 Lexus Es330 had over $10,000 in damage. My concern is that the air bags did not deploy. With such significant damage I was sure they would have protected me but they did not. I am concerned there may be a problem and I will not be protected in the future.
