“Was side swiped by a semi truck which forced my car to spin around on the freeway. Then hit by multiple other vehicles and blacked out. Damage to every side of my vehicle and airbags should have deployed but they failed to do so. I received a recall notice for my vehicle last year and brought it into the dealership and had the airbags fixed. However, they still failed to deploy.”
NHTSA complaint #11398187, filed 2021-02, 100,000 miles“The vehicle was in motion when my fiance was driving he reached behind him and gave our son his bottle and steered off the city street going straight and hit a truck. The truck then hit two other cars all 3 which were parked the Toyota is totalled out the air bags never came out of the vehicle which they should've considering the impact.”
NHTSA complaint #11252470, filed 2019-08, 55,000 miles“I was involved in a severe roll over accident late at night. I rolled 4 times and slid 300 feet upside down. Luckily im alive thanks to my seat belt and the reinforced frame. However, I have a sever concussion because my front air bags never went off. The side ones did but never the front. This caused me to have very bad bruising on my head and a concussion.”
NHTSA complaint #11072449, filed 2018-02, 36,000 miles“My Toyota was tee boned by a driver who ran stop sign. My wife and I were injured when our airbags and seatbelts failed to deploy properly. No airbags deployed even though we were traveling at 40mph and were hit hard on the passenger side of the car. The other driver ran a stop sign and hit us broadside.”
NHTSA complaint #11302743, filed 2020-01, 38,000 miles“This car was rear ended 17 months ago and none of the 8 airbags deployed. I got a herniated disc and a broken rib. The other driver insurance paid for the $12,000 repairs on my car and some of my medical expenses but now here I am with an injury for the rest of my life. This car should be included in the airbag lawsuit and I should be compensated for my injuries.”
