I was in an accident on July 28 2011. I was in a 2010 Toyota Camry driving 40-45miles and a Ford F150 pick-up truck turned in front of me. I hit the truck on its side causing it to filp over. My Camry sustained severe frontal damage that it was deemed a total loss. My airbags did not deploy. Police officers, fire dept at the scene of the accident were all amazed that the airbags had not deployed considering the damage to the car. The body shop that the car was initially towed to mentioned that looked like there were faulty sensors that prevented the airbags from deploying.
My sister owns a 2010 Toyota Camry xle, bought as a new car, not used. On Saturday, July 16, 2011, she was riding as a passenger in her car when it was struck by another vehicle on the passenger side. Even though she had to be cut out of the car, neither her side airbags or front air bags deployed. She was taken to the er at the hospital because she had suffered injuries and was in pain. It is possible that the 2010 Toyota Camry xle is a total loss, however, none of the airbags in the car deployed.
My 2007 Toyota Camry xle was in a serious accident this past week. My son was driving and the rear abruptly went to the right and he lost control and skidded across a road into a soft shoulder/embankment causing significant damage to the front of the vehicle, the car then flipped/rolled over landing on it's roof. There ended up being substantial damage to most of the vehicle. Upon inspection of the vehicle by us on the following day we did notice that the right rear tire had blown out, I assume this caused the abrupt veering to the right described above. My son had his seat belt on and luckily had only minor injuries. My concern/question is why the air bags did not go off. This includes the ones built into the front pillars and those on the side designed to protect the occupants head and arm, etc. Btw: This vehicle was recalled for the defective gas pedal/floor mats and was scheduled to have the recall/repair completed on 7/29/10. Photo's were taken by him of the damage.
