general problems of the 2017 Toyota Corolla - part 1

While I was driving in the middle lane through an intersection, a car from the opposite side failed to yield while turning and hit me on my driver's side. My car was traveling at approximately 35 mph, and the other vehicle was exceeding the speed limit. The impact caused my car to veer in the opposite direction and I lost consciousness immediately. The fire department had to extract me from the passenger side door as my driver's side door was jammed shut. Both the driver's door and the rear door on that side cannot be opened, rendering the car undriveable and necessitating towing from the crash scene. The collision was severe, causing my head to snap back and forth against the steering wheel, along with impact to the left side of my body and whiplash to my neck, back, and chest. I was taken to the nearest er by ambulance, experiencing bruises as well as severe pain in my head, neck, back, and chest, making breathing difficult. Despite the intensity of the crash, the airbags did not deploy, leading to further jolting of my body against the car interior. I had bought the car directly from a Toyota dealer, but I have not been contacted by Toyota regarding any potential manufacturing defects. The failure of the airbags to deploy after such a significant impact and the speed of the other vehicle has raised concerns about the safety of my car, as I was under the impression that it was free of defects.

While driving approximately 35–45 mph, my vehicle struck a deer in a frontal collision. The impact resulted in significant front-end damage and the vehicle was later declared a total loss. The airbags did not deploy. At the time of the crash, the vehicle was subject to an unrepaired federal safety recall involving the airbag control unit (zf-trw acu recall). I experienced soreness following the crash. No airbags deployed.

Reported in March, Toyota has not provided a replacement/rental during the recall. Very difficult to make progress getting help. Bounced between different departments.

Cannot renew vehicle registration due to the recall. Recall cannot be performed since manufacturer does not have a remedy. I'm now placed in a position wherein I might have to pay fines and other fees and not have a valid registered vehicle to use to get to and from work.
