Traveling approximately 15mph I collided with a full size truck the front end of my car totaled. I was wearing my seat belt and air bags did not deploy causing me to hit the steering wheel with enough force to fracture my sternum. This is the 2nd time a frontal impact occurred causing damage to the front bumper and air bags did not deploy.

There was a driver side collision and the airbags did not deploy. Brakes do not slowly apply they slam down causing vehicle to slide/skid in emergency braking, abs does not function properly. The dealership recently did an appraisal (4/2/25) on the vehicle that states “lost communication with side airbag sensor lh, side airbag sensor lh initialization incomplete, front speed sensor rh & lh circuit, and d- door motor ecu communication stop”. Insurance company inspected vehicle after crash, and there was a police report filed. There were no warning indicators prior to incident or after.

Problem 1. Both curtain airbags on the passenger side deployed while no one was sitting in those seats, no injuries sustained to anyone. This happened one time as it happened in a car accident, nothing indicated that the air bags were on or active at the moment. Problem 2. Abs system failure has caused the brakes on the Prius to lock and not work while driving, almost causing an incident. The car has not been driven since for the fear of that happening again. The vehicle has been seen by a mechanic to determine it is the abs system. The abs light has been on as well, it appeared a couple of weeks before the brakes locked up back in March of this year.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that while beginning accelerate forward because the light had just turned green a dump truck came out and hit their vehicle on the driver's side. No airbags deployed. A police report was filed. The vehicle was totaled. The contact received injuries to their head and medical attention was needed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that their investigator did not have a reading of any failure for the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 64,800. Gl.

I was involved in a left-hand turn, t-bone style/side impact car accident on June 5th, 2019. The other driver was going 50+ mph and I was going 20 mph. My air bags should have at least deployed on the passenger side where there is impact.

I was driving straight on a city road with the flow of heavy traffic at about 40 miles per hour when the car in front of me came to a sudden stop. I immediately slammed on my brakes very hard. At the time I did this I had plenty of safe distance between us. But, the brakes never came on and I ended up running into the rear end of an SUV at apparently full speed without any noticeable slowdown. The brakes did not come on. They didn't grab, and they didn't make any screeching noise and there were no tire marks on the road. Also all of the airbags deployed and this was a frontal impact, which was very surprising and suffocating. A cloud of dust filled the cabin of the car and I could not breathe. I was literally suffocating until I was able to open the door and get out of the vehicle. I didn't even feel the seat belt tighten up before the crash. The brakes never felt like they came on at all.

The contact owned a 2013 Toyota Prius. While driving 25 mph, the contact crashed into the rear of the preceding vehicle. All the air bags deployed except the steering wheel air bag, which had a delayed deployment. The contact's head struck the steering wheel and was injured, which required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and was towed to a local dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage and VIN were not provided.

Was going down hill at 40mph the light turned red I tried to stop I pumped the brakes twice then twice again the lain to my life was full to my right was a curb about 13in hight and by then we were in the back end of the car in front of us and no air bags I dont know when air bag daplo or at what speed I thank god for outher cars back ends that we can hit and not kill any one I guess.

I would like to know why all Toyota vehicles have not been recalled due to the current air bag problem. It's not like the car is never driven out of the state and it does get humid and hot here! I drove to California and arizona this past summer. . . And yes, I am concerned!!! I expect Toyota to take care of all of their cars!.

My daughter (age 17) weighs right around 100 pounds. When she sits in the front passenger seat, the light on the dashboard says the airbag is turned off.

I was stopped in traffic when a box truck drove into my car, pushing it into the car infront of me, over a curb, and then off the road. There was severe damage to each side of my car; including the crumpled backend. The divers seat gave out and fell backwards somehow causing the headrest to twist off leaving the leg of it bent towards by my head. There was no airbag deployment in the accident. The significant damage to the car deemed it totaled. How is it that there was seat, headrest, and airbag failure?.
