Does my vehicle have a takada airbag. I know it is not part of a recall. I just want to know who manufactured the airbag in my car!!!!!.

Picture of airbag in red on dash comes on intermittently.

I had a collision with a vehicle as I headed north towards an intersection. On the other side the driver that hit my vehicle was supposed to yield to coming traffic. When I realized it I had crashed into a wooden fence. The car was hit in the left side front tire area, the hood, the fender, the driver and passenger left doors were damaged. Needless to say the car was declared a total loss. I would like an investigation since I believe the air bags should have deployed. I was hit in the front drivers side, then drove thru a wooden fence to be stopped by a storage container. The accident didn't result in any major injuries but the air bags should have deployed. . .

We noticed that the carpet was saturated. The dealer told us it was because there were spider webs blocking the drain from the a/c. It was repaired at a cost of $1,554, the work included drying the air bag module and replacement of carpet. We believe this should be the subject of a recall as it is the identical problem recalled for the Toyota camry.

My driving record was clean until this 2010 Prius. In one year I have had two accidents and several incidents, all of which I am now convinced due to brake failure. The first accident took place end of December 2010. I was going only about 10 mph. I hit the brakes repeatedly to try to get the car to stop. At the time I thought the car did not stop because of ice, but now after this 2nd accident and researching other Prius reports, I am convinced this first accident was also because the brakes failed to work. Since I did not suspect this at the time, I did not report it or have the brakes checked when the car was repaired. The 2nd accident was last night, Dec 8th, 2011. I was traveling between 25-30 mph. The brakes clearly failed to work, and I hit a car stopped at the traffic light in front of me. I had plenty of distance to stop. The car did not slow down, if anything, it may have speeded up, but I cannot definitely say this, as I was too freaked out looking at the car I was going to hit to check my speed. The road was not icy. The impact demolished the front end of the Prius. My air bag also did not inflate. I have whiplash from this second accident. Fortunately no one else was injured. I now realize I had several other brake 'slippage' problems last winter that did not result in accidents and I did not identify then as brake problems. I thought it was my snow tires, even though they were brand new. I took the car back to the tire dealer last month who said they had no other complaints about that brand of tire, but I so concerned I had them replace the tires anyway with new ones of a different brand. I have opened a case with Toyota after I started to research 2010 Prius and found a recall on this model and year from before I leased this car. Toyota says there is not a recall on my VIN#. I want Toyota to take responsibility for this accident and take back the car.
