I was in motion and driving on a residential street, while operating vehicle at the time of accident. After the collision, the airbag did not deploy. The takata airbag was replaced by the auto manufacturer (Toyota dealership) prior to my above mentioned accident. The auto accident occurred for unknown reasons, possibly brake failure or unexpected acceleration of the car engine.
The contact owns a 2003 Toyota Tundra. The contact was driving 35 mph when the vehicle crashed into two trees and the air bags failed to deploy.

Airbags did not deploy in a 2 vehicle front end crash.
I was in a major car accident that involved both of my bumpers, the front bumper was completely removed. I was hit from behind at a faster speed than I was going and I was pushed into the truck in front of me (another Tundra only a 2004). I had over $8,000 in damage and I suffer from cervical/neck/spine injury and sprained right foot. I am in physical therapy and need an mri, as I am not healing as I should be. My problem here is that my air bags never deployed. I am now worried that there is something wrong with them, the impact I had and injury to my body, should have deployed them.
I am driving without airbag safety because Toyota dealership did not correct problem they quoted me $85 to check it out and around $1000 to fix. On 09/03/2013, I took my vehicle to Toyota dealership for urgent safety recall to correct airbag defect. I mentioned the airbag light again. I was advised the airbag recall will correct my problem and the light will go away. I picked up my vehicle and noticed my airbag light was still on. Toyota advised me that the trouble is the center airbag module. I asked them if the airbags will engage on impact. Toyota said the airbags will not deploy with this light on. Why did I waste my time taking my vehicle to Toyota to correct an airbag defect and to leave with an airbag defect? Toyota should have corrected this issue a long time ago when this was under warranty.
