Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2008 Toyota Avalon

Our 2008 Toyota Avalon was rammed from the rear with full force from a Honda crv going 40 mph. The Avalon was slowing down to allow a groundhog to cross on a straight 2 lane road at the time, but the driver of the Honda behind seems to have been a distracted driver because she did not stop accelerating. The driver of the Avalon suffered head, neck, back and hip injuries and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. The damage to both vehicles is extensive-pictures of the Avalon attached. The Honda airbag deployed, saving that driver from injury. The airbag of the Toyota did not deploy-clearly malfunctioning and could have prevented some of the injuries if it had deployed properly. There is a police report but it is not available to us yet. The insurance companies are working on the claim. No repairs have been made yet and it is not clear whether it is 'totaled'.

2008 Toyota Avalon. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle sudden acceleration. The consumer stated as his wife turned into a perpendicular parking space, all of a sudden, the vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own, only stopping when it hit a parking barricade. His wife did attempt to apply the brake, but to no avail. The consumer stated the air bag did not deploy.

Air bags failed to deploy. I was involved in an accident in which my car was t-bone on the pax side and then my car crashed head on into a guard rail. The other vehicle was going at an estimated speed of 35 mph while my vehicle was crossing an intersection at less than 5 mph. The impact of the crash crushed the pax side of the car; jaws of life had to be used to extract the pax in my vehicle. Upon impact my vehicle travelled in a side manner and spun around hitting a guard rail approximately straight on. The entire front of the vehicle was crushed and the driver door was bent on impact. The vehicle was a total loss; nothing in front of the front tires was left on the vehicle. In spite of this, not a single airbag in the vehicle deployed. Police report done on scene as well as emt report state the same.
