Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2011 Toyota Prius

On sept 9th, 2022, I was involved in a collision, traveling approximately 30 - 40 mph and struck a vehicle that pulled into my path. I struck the other vehicle perpendicularly (t-boned). My vehicle impacted on the front, initially, and then on the driver's side at full force. The result of the accident caused the front bumper to be damaged and the entire left side of the car was crushed. The force of the accident caused the driver's window and port-hole to shatter. The air bags did not deploy. None of the air bags deployed. The vehicle is still in the auto repair lot and has yet to be inspected by anyone. There we no prior indicators of any problems with the airbag system.

Air bags failed to deploy after being rear ended straight on at 55 mph, not a single airbag deployed.

I am an excellent driver. I purchased this Prius in the summer of 2011. We (my wife and young daughter) were proceeding on juanita drive n. E. In kirkland, wa. My wife and I agree that our speed was approximately 30-33 mph and that there were approximately 3+ car lengths between us and the vehicle in front of us. The weather was dry and sunny. Suddenly, a vehicle three vehicles ahead of us stopped to make a left turn, and the two vehicles behind it were able to stop. I immediately applied my brakes to the floor as soon as I observed the stopped vehicle ahead. I felt no response - no gripping of the brakes or gripping of the wheels to the road, no squealing, no skidding, no sense of the brakes slowing the vehicle in the three seconds I applied them. Due to vehicles in the opposing lane, a narrow road and no shoulder (a ditch with telephone poles on the right), I was forced to design the least harmful impact - my front right corner to the rear left corner of the vehicle in front. The impact tore open the right front of the vehicle, shattering the windshield next to my wife and causing her legs to fly up and strike the dashboard, injuring her legs in several places. Her airbag did not deploy. My 7-year-old was in her car seat in the back seat. The larger split back was behind her. The back became unhinged at impact and flipped forward, forcing my daughter's upper body forward. She sustained minor facial injuries. While it is possible that the airbag non-deployment was appropriate (I am not certain of this), there is no question that the braking was soft, squishy, non-existent, and the back seat should not have become unhinged.

The contact owned a 2011 Toyota Prius. The contact was driving 8 mph when another vehicle crashed into the contact’s vehicle on the passenger side door. The driver’s side safety belt failed to retain the driver, causing injuries to the back and neck. The police were notified and a report was on file. The vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop. The manufacturer was notified. The failure and current mileages were 8,000. Updated 04/19/lj the consumer also stated the air bag failed to deploy. Toyota sent the consumer a notice explaining the air bag did not deploy, because there was no direct frontal impact, only impact to the right front side of the vehicle/door area, the more yielding portions of the vehicle. There was insufficient abrupt forward deceleration of the vehicle to deploy the air bag. The letter also stated the seat belt operated as designed within the manufacturer's specification.

Purchased a new 2011 Toyota Prius from rahal Toyota, lewistown, PA. On 07/02/2011. Car was manufactured in 03/2011. On 07/17/2011 a car made an illegal left turn directly in front of us and the front of the Prius struck the passenger side of the other car at approx. 45 mph. The Prius airbags did not deploy and the engine/ hybrid system continued to run. Emergency personnel reported that they had just taken a class on hybrid cars and said that the airbags should have deployed and the computer should have shut the car down as soon as the impact occurred. Damage to the other car was very severe. Damage to the Prius seems to be focused on the right front, but involves the entire front.
