On November 18, 2019 @ 6:38 pm in phoenix, Arizona on 59th ave heading West I was in a very terrible car collision where I was at a stand still at a red light and was rear ended by a Toyota Tacoma going 45-60 mph, upon impact I was forced forward and hit the back of a flat bed tow truck and completely destroyed the front of the vehicle. The airbags did not deploy upon impact.
Takata recall. I was involved in an accident where I was coming off the highway, slid on water and crashed into a steel pole. The breaks did not work at all and when I got out to look at the damage the break pads were in the middle of the street like they had just fall off. None of the airbags deployed and my friend's head cracked the windshield. Car was totaled.
