Two problems related to side/window air bag have been reported for the 2012 Toyota Prius. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My front and driver's side air bags didn't open when my car was hit on that side by another car driven by a lady who ran a stop sign; and struck my moving car; totaling my car. I suffered sertous chest, neck and back sprains that still l bother me. I was struck pretty hard, I suffered a terrible jolt to my chest area when my car came to a hard stop, and I still hit the steering wheel. This accident costs me my job and I am no longer able to stand or walk for long periods of time.
The contact owned a 2012 Toyota Prius v. While driving 5 mph and making a left turn, a vehicle crashed into the front passenger side of the contact¿s vehicle. As a result, the air bags deployed, but the driver side air bags failed to fully inflate. The contact sustained injuries to the chest that required medical attention. A police report was filed and the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who deemed the vehicle destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,000.
