general problems of the 2007 Toyota Avalon

I was hit by another vehicle and my hole front in was smashed in and none of my airbags deployed. I was driving down a city street going straight and an avalanche truck pulled out of the parking lot trying to quickly jet across the street so he hit the gas peddle to move fast and smashed right into my passenger front side smashed the hole front end the radiator and everything my car was leaking radiator fluid and everything it's a total loss.

Entire dashboard above and below air bag compartments starting cracking about one year ago for no obvious reason . Garage kept, 60, 000 miles.

Takata recall. The panels are all cracking around the dashboard and around where the airbags are located. It is not driven often and is garage kept and stationary most of the time. The cracks are spreading and getting worse over entire dashboard.

Collision with another vehicle while making a left turn. Driver's upper and lower (knee) airbags deployed. Driver incurred severe cuts to both legs below the knee approximately half way down to ankle. Cause of injuries has not been determined but inspection of vehicle disclosed that the knee airbag containment compartment in the low part of the dash has a flap/door that opens in deployment, is very extremely sharp and may have been the source of the injuries.

Dashboard is cracking around the airbag area.

Crack observed in panel where airbag for the passenger is located, the panel is above the glove compartment.

We were driving on the highway when we heard a crack noise on the dashboard. Two cracks appeared all of a sudden. Since then there have been 3 more cracks on the dashboard. They appear without any particular reason. The cracks are between the glovebox and the airbag on the passenger side. The car is garaged at all times, when not driven. The cracks appeared at 36,000 miles. We have contacted Toyota CO. They took our complaint ref# 1308131120. According to them they do not show a recurring problem with cracking plastic in their cars. They won't do anything about it, because of the age of the car (2007). We are concerned that should we be involved in an accident where the airbags get inflated, we may sustain additional injuries by the plastic pieces coming apart from the dashboard and hitting us. Vehicle has around 39,0000 at this time.

Cracks on the dashboard began two years ago and have gradually spread to include areas of the dashboard airbags.

My concern is about my cracked dashboard material. It's cracked directly across where my airbag deploy , on the passenger side of my 2007 Toyota Avalon. It's got to be a safety hazard. I don't believe it will deploy correctly, should it's needed. With the material already cracked, I think it would do serious damage to someone's face or body. I don't need a lawsuit from a passenger, plus I don't want anyone to get hurt. . So if it's possible, please investigate this issue. There's know way for me to know if this issue is safe. Thanking you in advanced.

2007 Toyota Avalon car accident, snow and icy road conditions car skidded off of the road at a t-intersection ending up impacting with a tree with extensive front end damage and air bag deployment failure. Driver went forward hitting her forehead on the steering wheel and front passenger being jerked around and injuring her neck and back. Both occupants were wearing seat belts. This vehicle is to be brought to the body shop on 12-8-08 and I have notified our Toyota dealer in superior WI on 12-6-08 to have an inspection by a Toyota representative to find a cause for this deployment failure.

My husband was involved in an accident on October 28, 2008. The airbag on the steering wheel deployed as did a knee airbag. Injuries to his lower legs are extensive and I think these injuries were caused by the explosive force of the knee airbag. His left leg sustained a large laceration about 6 inches long by 4 inches wide. And a large area of tissue damage. The laceration could not be sutured and has remained open for more than two weeks. A very large area of tissue has gangrene because of the extent of the injury. His right lower leg was completely ecchymotic after the accident and there is now a localized area of tissue that needs to be debrided. (it looks like a huge blood blister. ) extensive debridement of tissue will be done on both legs next week. For the first day following the accident, we had no idea how his lower legs could have sustained such injuries. Shortly after the accident, my husband mentioned that somehow he couldn't step on the brake after feeling the impact of the car that hit him. When I went to view our damaged car I was very surprised to see the air bag that was located at the level of the driver's legs. But it seemed to explain the extensive bilateral lower leg injuries as well as my husband's inability to reach the brake. These injuries have been very debilitating.
