6 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 06/27/2014

I was traveling in an area surrounded by construction barrels trying to navigate my turn. The person in front of me stopped suddenly, and I hit him in the rear. The vehicle sustained almost $9000 worth of damage, however was not totaled. The airbag did not deploy. We asked Toyota for an explination, and they finally sent a third party to investigate. We were sent the download of the crash data recorder, but no explination of what it meant, and Toyota determined that the airbag was not faulty, even though the crash data recorder shows I hit someone front-to-rear traveling 38 miles per hour. After waiting 3 months on Toyota, we finally gave up and are having the vehicle repaired. I have a chronic neck condition which was not caused by the accident but was greatly aggrevated and made more painful from the accident. We have asked Toyota for an explinaton of the data from the recorder, but have not been provided one, only sent a letter stating Toyota was not at fault and that injuries such as mine aren't proven to be prevented by the airbag.
