general problems of the 2017 Toyota Highlander

On April 5, 2026, my 2017 Toyota Highlander was involved in a side?impact (t?bone) collision on the front & rear passenger side. I was seated in the front passenger seat. The impact was hard enough that my insurance company declared the vehicle a total loss. During the crash, I struck my head, but no airbags deployed (front, side, or curtain). The vehicle is being released to liberty mutual insurance. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. I am concerned that the airbag/srs system may not have functioned properly in a crash severe enough to total the vehicle and cause a head injury to a front passenger. I am requesting that NHTSA record this incident and consider whether there may be a safety defect related to side or curtain airbag non?deployment in this vehicle. Crash date: April 5, 2026 approximate speed of other vehicle: [unknown] location of impact: front passenger side (t?bone) result: vehicle declared total loss, head injury to front passenger, no airbag deployment.

My vehive has 122,000 miles. . . I recently received an airbag mafuction warning on the dash info system and to contact dealer. The dealer states this driver side airbag is now defective and needs to be replaced at a cost of $1100. 00 the airbag has never been deployed. How is this noit covered under safety requirements on current vehicles? how do I know that the part was not defective when initally installed?.

I had an accident on 1/14/24 and the airbags did not deploy. When we bought the vehicle from I-5 Toyota it had been in a previous accident and was repaired. I have a picture from the dash stating “ srs air bag system malfunction” on the day of incident. The vehicle is being picked up by insurance 1/18/24 to be inspected. There were no warnings prior to the accident.

I turned my car to park in the church parking lot. I believe my foot was on the brake, it happened so fast, I am not sure. . All of a sudden the car began to accelerate on it's own! it scared the daylights out of me! suddenly the car jumped through a wooden fence and off a five foot drop off to the street below. I was lucky there was a pile of gravel to stop me. I put it into park. The airbags did not go off. I was not hurt. But I am very stressed by the incident. It will be a month before it is fixed.

The vehicle was hit by the left side and the airbags did not respond.

Steering wheel airbag is hot when driving.
