On September 24, 2006 I put the key into the ignition and started my 2001 Toyota Camry solara. The car was still in park and had never been moved. Within seconds of starting the vehicle the drivers side airbag spontaneously deployed. As a result of the air bag deployment I sustained a fractured left ulna, neck and shoulder pain (cervical sprain) and issues with hearing in my left ear. This car is unsafe!.
While driving 25-30 mph, the consumer stopped without warning and another motorist vehicle t-boned the consumer's vehicle on the passenger side. Upon impact, the air bag did not deploy. The consumer sustained injuries. The frame had broken in half and the vehicle was a total loss.
Hit by another vehicle on driver side. Front and rear doors severely damaged. Driver side side airbag did not deploy.
Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision at 15 mph. Upon impact, neither frontal or side air bags deployed. Manufacturer was notified. Feel free to provide any further information.
