2000 Toyota Camry Owner Comments

Camry 4-cyl

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I was driving my very faithful Toyota Camry on a busy 2 lane road when a Honda Pilot stopped suddenly in front of me. I immediately reacted and slammed on the brakes. Unfortunately I didn't have allow adequate stopping distance, so I crashed into the Honda Pilot. The Pilot wasn't damaged much at all, but my Camry took a huge lick to the front. My airbag did not deploy, nor did my seatbelt lock. My chest hit the steering wheel. I did not go to the hospital in an ambulance, but went to the urgent care for treatment. I have a painful chest contusion (sprained sternum) and a stiff neck (cervical strain, or whiplash).

May 28 2008, driver and 1 passenger killed in 2000 Camry caused by seat belts and air bags and detached seats in a runaway Toyota that lurched and became uncontrollable and hit a tree (going under 35 mph). Because driver wore a medic-alert bracelet saying, "seizure disorder", all assumed this was the cause of the accident. Drivers (me) life was recovered in emergency hospital, passenger had chest crushed by force of air bag and seat belts when seat broke loose., bled to death internally. I, the driver have a permanent crushed larynx pain from broken chest bones and permanent smashed feet from seat breaking loose and me being shoved under the dashboard.. 48 hospital observation and weeks of follow up reported no seizures. Blood tests showed no alcohol or drugs were involved. Last previous seizure prior to the accident was some 5 years prior. I now have permanent leg and /foot damage and must walk with a walker and cannot wear regular shoes, nor can sit for more than 1 hour and has to sleep in a recliner due to the pain and inability to breath lying down in a bed. Uses cane in apartment. Lives alone (age 77) Toyota claims refuses any responsibility because car insurer totaled car before Toyota could inspect to see the used airbags, front seats blood and cut away seat belts to get persons into ambulances. Front was too smashed to determine any steering issues. Tires in great shape... 34 dvd photos and full police report available upon request. Regardless of loss of car control. Seat belts and air bags and seats breaking loose are the major issues of responsibility for 1 death and 1 permanent physically damaged driver. Updated 06/03/10 according to the police report, this was a single car accident was two occupants. Updated 07/19/10 updated 6/29/11
