Our daughters 2005 Scion Tc was in an accident that was a head on collision she lost control on black ice and hit a pole. Her car has been deemed totaled by the insurance and body shop due to the severe damage to the car. She has numerous injuries from this accident and the air bags not deploying. It is very strange when I called Toyota they claim there are no recalls for airbags which I see in fact there is by this website. They also state that the airbags would not deploy in this type of accident , with her hitting the pole direct and the car being totaled because of the damage how can they say this? they have not even seen the car and over the phone they are stating the airbags would not go off in this type of accident. Sounds like Toyota needs to get their facts straight. Thank god my daughter is still here, she had an angel looking after her that night because it certainly was not Toyota.

5 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2009

Hi, I was involved in a car accident December 2, 2009. I own a Scion Tc 2005 model. I was traveling on highway 440 outer beltline near ext 7 glenwood avenue. It was raining heavily at approximately 6:30pm when I hit a puddle in the left far lane and began hydroplaning, I hit the car next to me on my passenger side and started spinning approximately 4-5 times and hit the cement barrier on the bridge of crabtree creek. I hit the barrier head on and the spun around again and hit the back drivers side on the cement as well. My car ended against the cement barrier on the far right side of the road facing the wrong direction. My complaint is that my airbags never deployed. Luckily I was not severely injured but hitting head on it is my opinion and that of the owner of the collision repair shop that my car was brought to, that the air bags should have deployed for safety reasons. I was driving at a speed of approximately 50 miles per hour, no more then 55. I have done research that shows it only take speeds of 8-14 mph that the air bags should go off at a sudden deceleration, and I was certainly going faster then that. There were a few recalls on the airbags on my make and model of vehicle but these were mostly pertaining to the side and knee bags. I have filed a claim with the Toyota/scion customer service representatives and sent them pictures and I do have a case number with them. The dot people that came to the site of the crash had mentioned that this site of road is being investigated for previous accidents.
