I was stopped at a red light in a left hand turn lane. A vehicle making a left hand turn accidentally drove head first into my car. My passenger and I had seat belts on. The approximate speed of the other car was greater than 10 miles per hour. The air bags did not deploy despite considerable front end damage. A message on the dashboard says "srs airbag system malfunction. Visit your dealer". I want to make sure that the airbags were not defective. I have read that if a vehicle is stationary and the seat belts are on it may not activate. That is ok - just want to make sure that is the intent.

6 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2018

In may, this vehicle was involved in an accident where this vehicle rear ended another vehicle causing major damage to both vehicles. This accident occurred in a 4-lane highway; hwy 60 in phoenix. Prior to the accident, there were no error messages or indicated malfunctions. The car was maintained as recommended by the manufacturer. Immediately upon impact, two error messages were displayed on the dash:h airbag system malfunction and an awd malfunction 2wd mode enabled. I found this very disturbing as I can't believe the airbags didn't deploy upon impact. As a result, my daughter suffered from a concussion, neck pain, and her knee suffered injury by slamming into the dashboard. Our insurance company, liberty mutual, was contacted that evening to report the accident. The next day, I filed a claim with Toyota regarding the error messages and the lack of airbag deployment. A third party retrieved the �black box� from the vehicle and presented a report to Toyota. Toyota claims that the third party determined that the vehicle was operating properly and the airbags should not have deployed. My insurance doesn't believe this to be a true assessment, nor do I. I asked Toyota how to have this escaped to the next level for further review and was told that I had no options available to me. Meanwhile, the car has been repaired however, the airbag icon will not leave the dash and the car repair shop will not release an unsafe car to me. Someone is being reasonable. I'm concerned that the airbag system wasn't working prior to the accident causing the airbags to not deploy and is now indicating that the car is unsafe to drive. Meanwhile, I am stranded in phoenix, az because I still do not have a vehicle in which to move my daughter home to n. C. Photos and reports are attached for your review. The file from the black box was too large to upload.
