6 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 09/20/2014

I was approaching a four way stop at the appropriate speed limit of 35mph before the impact. As I was getting closer, I went ahead and decelerated. I've had problems with the brakes in the past. As I got closer to the stop sign, in a blink of an eye, I was being dragged by a large chevy heavy duty truck across the intersection. The airbags did not deploy either. The impact completely dismantled my front end. After the paramedics and fire fighters arrive, I was rushed to the er for reported back and neck injuries. I was looked over and was discharged barely being able to walk. The car was towed to a repair shop quite a distance away from my home. My insurance said the shop could be trusted. I asked over 20 people and each person said that the damage from this car has to result in being totaled. The mechanic said otherwise. He began working on the car without my consent and demanded; threatened my insurance company to pay him $4,000 for a few days of work and $7,000 later on. This was after I had already spoken with my insurance to file this car as being totaled. The mechanic threatened for money saying he had already started on the car when he never even touched it after 3 weeks. I used to trust Toyota vehicles, but after this accident I'm never buying another Toyota again. The emergency response team said it was a miracle that I was alive. My complaint is the airbags and brakes failed to do their job.

8 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2014

I rear ended a truck full bumper to full bumper collisionin going about 25-30mph. My entire front end was crushed, radiator and transmission busted, and front bumper pulled off, and inside car under steering wheel had been slightly pushed out towards driver seat. My car was totaled. I busted the windshield with my head when I hit it giving me a concussion and had contusions to my chest from hitting steering wheel, and contusion and sprain to my right hand. No one including police, firemen, ambulance, and wrecking yard could believe my air bags did not deploy. My husband and I contacted Toyota about this and they assured me it should not have deployed and sent me an email link to read describing when air bags should deploy. When I called back after reading the email and told the man what the email said and that my air bag should have deployed he called me a liar, and said that was not what the email said. My husband then called and requested information from edr be downloaded and read. Toyota never returned our phone call and never retrieved information from edr, and now insurance has taken possession of the vehicle and it is gone. A month later we still have never received a return phone call or explanation from Toyota.

9 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 03/28/2014

I came to an intersection and stopped, then took my foot off the brake before noticing that the light was still red. The other vehicle was roughly 30 feet away when I pushed on the brakes. I should have easily been able to stop. Brakes did not engage and I had been pushing them so hard and for so long that I fractured my ankle. There were not even skid marks at the accident scene. My car had front end frame damage from the accident (totaled), and the airbags never deployed. Additionally, in the past I had noticed the rpms rising for no reason while car was idling, and the acceleration issue, where the vehicle seemed to “hang” between speeds of about 35 and 40 and 60 and 65mph. The rpms I only noticed once-so I did not report it, and the “hanging” was my own ignorance (I haven’t had a 4 cylinder in a long time and this was my first—and probably last—Toyota). I also had prior braking concerns-- abs only made a noise (did not vibrate against pedal--again, my ignorance of how this vehicle was supposed to respond) and it was a very icy winter, so I assumed that I had been trying to stop on ice. The brakes behaved fine if I physically pumped them, but sudden stops could not be made.

The second surgery was 41/2 hours long repairing her badly broken right arm. . All parties involved, at the scene of the accident, to the medical staff at the hospital and the towing company all advised me to contact Toyota and inquire about the airbags not deploying. The dsriver parked her car in a bank parking lot to write out a check and wanted to cash it using the bank drive thru. She backed out of the parking spot, misjudging the parking medium / island on her right hand side and started to move forward making a right hand turn. At ths time, her car got stuck on top of the medium. After several attempts to free her car by pressing the gas pedal down, the driver lost control of her vehicle after finally breaking free from the medium. The driver drove up and over a parking lot curb and onto the grass, scraping a bank sign, through a black iron fence, off an (5ft. To 6ft. ) embankment wall and into a large wood utility pole.
