Traveling 55 mph on CA interstate when car directly in front of me abruptly stopped. There was not enough time for me to stop, so I impacted the rear of the vehicle head on at approximately 45 mph. Not one of the airbags in my vehicle deployed. Contacted Toyota about this and they said it is their "opinion that the airbags should not have deployed in this situation. " I asked them where the frontal impact sensors were, and was told directly under the headlights in the bumper. Well, both sensors were in the impacted area on my vehicle, the entire bumper and assembly is being replaced. The cost to repair the damage is $10,000. 00 the owners manual says the airbags will deploy in a frontal crash at approximately 15 mph, I was doing at least 45 mph! Toyota refuses to admit the failure of the airbags, and now I will be driving an unsafe vehicle.

I have a 2004 4runner limited. The dash has a long crack all the way across the front. The dash on the passenger side right above the glove box is covered with cracks. I believe that this is a defect in materials used by Toyota and that it can potentially cause the airbag to not deploy correctly. The local dealership claims that they have never seen anything like it before, but there are numerous other complaints online. I believe that if it was caused by the weather or products used that the cracks would be all over the top of the dash, not just the front where the airbag is suppose to deploy. A recall needs to be issued and Toyota needs to own up to its faulty dashes.

Involved in accident,air bags did not deploy,seat belts did not hold resulting in hitting stearing wheel and fracturing my stearnum. Collision repair center replaced computer that controls air bag and seat belts.
