5 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 01/06/2019

On January 6, 2019, I was involved in a serious multi-vehicle collision on the highway in which my Toyota Camry was violently rear-ended by another vehicle traveling at 70mph. The collision was of such force that my Camry was rammed forward causing me to collide into another vehicle directly in front of me and a domino effect of three additional vehicles in front of him. Physically, I sustained a cervical spine injury, rib contusion, left knee joint damage as well as cuts and bruises. What I found most disturbing of all is that not a single one of the many air bags in my Toyota Camry deployed. The vehicle behind me and the vehicle directly in front of me all had functioning air bags that deployed during the collision. The chain reaction crash put me in a dangerous position (sandwiched by two vehicles) and my vehicle sustained the most harmful impact of all the vehicles involved. Since the date of the accident, I have had restless nights as I keep thinking how my life was in jeopardy and why my airbags did not deploy as a safety feature during this collision.

14 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 07/28/2014

When driving on a road and hitting a big pothole the srs light in the dashboard might light up and stay on as well as the seat belt restraint light. The vehicle was brought once before to the service facility of Toyota and this issue got fixed, when I asked the service staff why is that happening the answer was: "if you drive in a big pot hole the connection to the sensor that is located underneath the front passenger seat might become loose which requires to be connected again and re-calibrated. While having this issue the front passengers airbag might not deploy as the light on the middle console states that the passenger airbag is currently turned off even if the passenger is sitting in the seat and is restraint. To me it sounds as a big safety issue which should not happen just because of a pot hole.

24 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 05/08/2013

My girlfriend was involved in a single vehicle car wreck where she left the roadway at an approximate speed of 55mph and crashed into an embankment then rode a rock wall for about 75 feet where the car turned and flipped across the roadway. 2 of the tires were completely ripped off, the initial impact imploded the whole front quarter panel, both back corners of the car were destroyed among other parts of the car! not a single airbag went off! fortunately she suffered only minor injuries but it could have been much worse and this pisses me off severely considering I bought this vehicle for its high safety ratings! my insurance is going to look into the matter regarding the air bags not deploying but thought it would be good to bring this to your attention as well. I'd hate to see a fatality caused by the manufacturers negligence of not testing their equipment fully to meet production needs .
