THE DRIVER-SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY IN A SIDE-IMPACT COLLISION. THE ESTIMATED SPEED OF IMPACT WAS BETWEEN 40 & 45 MPH, DIRECTLY STRIKING BETWEEN THE DRIVER DOOR AND THE FRONT DRIVER-SIDE WHEEL. TOYOTA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER WAS CONTACTED, AND REPLIED THAT THE SYSTEM PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. WHILE NOT AN EXPERT IN AIRBAG DESIGN AND OPERATION, I CANNOT IMAGINE A MORE CLEAR-CUT SITUATION WHERE THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED TO PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DECLARED "TOTALED" BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY, BUT PHOTOS OF THE VEHICLE ARE AVAILABLE. *TR

THE TOYOTA WAS GOING APROX 60MPS IN SLOW LANE OF NYS INTERSTATE 84 AND WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AND WAS PUSHED INTO A GUARDRAIL AT SIDE OF INTERSTATE. TOYOTA HAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO REAR AND FRONT ( CAR IS TOTALED). DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY ON TOYOTA UPON IMPACT WITH GUARD RAIL. AS A RESULT OF IMPACT FROM THE REAR AND THE FRONT, DRIVER OF THE TOYOTA RECEIVED LACERATION WHICH REQUIRED STITCHES, SWELLING AND BLACK A BLUE MARKS TO FACIAL AND NOSE AREA, AND A HEAD CONCUSSION WHICH REQUIRED A 3 DAY STAY AT A HOSPITAL. THE ISSUE AND CONCERN IS NON-DEPLOYMENT OF DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG ON THE TOYOTA AT THAT RATE OF SPEED. NEW YORK STATE POLICE HAS AN ACCIDENT REPORT. *TR

EXPERIENCED A CAR ACCIDENT ON 1/28/2013, THE CAR HAS BEEN ESTIMATED AS TOTALED AS PER ALL STATE CAR INSURANCE.

PLEASE INVESTIGATE IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, OR IF THE SENSOR DID NOT PICK UP THE CRASH. *TR

WHILE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN, MY WIFE, DRIVING OUR 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA, WAS STRUCK BY A DRIVER RUNNING A RED LIGHT. THE OTHER DRIVER (IN A VOLVO WAGON) DID NOT SEE THE LIGHT, NOR BREAK, STRIKING THE COROLLA ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND WHEEL AREA AT APPROX. 35-40 MPH. THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT WAS ENOUGH TO CRUMPLE THE COROLLA'S DOOR AND WHEEL AREA, LEAVING THE CAR TOTALED. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, NOT EVEN THE SIDE AIRBAGS, LEAVING MY WIFE WITH A CONCUSSION FROM THE ACCIDENT. THE 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WAS PURCHASED NEW THIS PAST FALL, HAD ONLY 9,000 MILES ON IT AND HAD SUSTAINED NO PREVIOUS DAMAGE OR ACCIDENTS. THE MECHANICS AT THE AUTOSHOP WHERE THE CAR WAS DEEMED TOTALED SAID THAT THEY HAD NO CLUE AS TO WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW, I AM WONDERING IF THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE AIRBAGS THAT PREVENTED THEM FROM GOING OFF. *TR

MY BUMPER CAME OFF AND WAS STUCK TO THE ABANDONED CAR WITH THE REST OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE DESTROYED. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH NOW I AND MY PASSENGERS IN THE ACCIDENT FEEL UNSAFE. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURIES BUT WE WERE REALLY LUCKY. I HAVE NOT EVEN HAD MY VEHICLE 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA FOR 2 WEEKS AND IT CONCERNS ME THAT THERE CAN BE OTHER EFFECTS. I HAVE BEEN IN OTHER CAR ACCIDENTS BEFORE GOING AT A LOWER SPEED AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED RIGHT AWAY. *TR
