“Yesterday I hit a deer in my 2010 Sienna. The impact was directly in front of the driver. This was a very hard impact and my airbags did not deploy. I bought this van because of toyata's safety reputation. I have 2 small children and I am very concerned about their safety in this van. I am concerned that if I need the airbags they will not deploy again. I can send you a picture of the accident if you like. Please contact me by email . I am trying to determine my next actions concerning my future in this vehicle and with Toyota. My families safety is my priority. Thank you.”
