20 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/04/2013

, I have permanent ear damage as a result of the deployment of air bags in a 2012 Toyota Camry I was driving. I was in an accident and was the reason for the air bag deployment. I injured my ears on August 4, 2013 as the result of the deployment of the air bags in the 2013 Camry and my hearing has not improved. I will have to live with a 20% hearing loss for the rest of my life. I also understand the Camry was not the fault of my accident but I feel the air bags are a contributing factor for my hearing loss. On August 4, 2013 at 5:15 pm, I was one of three cars involved in a car accident on highway 10 and cr 663 in oklahoma. I was visiting from michigan with my widowed sister, she lives in wyandotte, oklahoma and we were returning to her home after buying a dairy queen. A car traveling at 65 miles per hour in a white kia came across the center line and slammed into me between the drivers’s side front wheel and door than she continued on to hit a pickup truck that was behind me head on. The pickup truck was hit with such a force that it over turned, pinning the driver inside.

Not a one! the car is totaled , all sides have damage. Even the police thought there was something wrong with the airbags. This is not right. I bought it for saftey and it failed me. Big time.

22 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/11/2013

I was t-boned at an intersection where the other driver was at fault, he hit me on the drivers side clipping about 4-5 inched of the drivers door & caved in the rear quarter panel & rear tire. The driver side window curtain deployed but it hardly had any air in it, seems like it leaked out with some smoky substance & the drivers side seat seam opened up but the airbag did no deploy & the rear seat on the side of direct impact also opened up at the seam but the airbag didn't deploy either. Luckily no one was in the back seat & I was only bruised up on my neck, chest & shoulder by the seat belt which did work. I took pictures of the seats.
