Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My 2017 Prius V was involved in 2 recent crashes in which the air bags did not deploy: front end/bumper impact on 6/1/18 and front & rear end impact which totaled car on 7/3/18. Both times air bags did not deploy. Impact on 6/1/18 caused other car's (2008 honda accord) air bags to deploy, but not mine. Toyota sent inspector after 6/1 crash; report enclosed. 7/3 crash was even more severe traveling at 61 MPH when impacted in the rear by another vehicle traveling at excessive speed. …”
