So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" Sear, safety belt, airbag and the speedometer 1.The driver side seat was powered by electricity, it moved forward by itself during the crash. However, the car battery was destroyed and caught on fire as soon as the crash happened. 2.The airbag might have a delayed deployment, which caused my right eye rupture. 3.The speedometer stopped at 93mph however the crash data retrieval report shows its 75 mph. The vehicle is available for inspection since I still have the vehicle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I suffered right eye globe rupture, basically lost my right eye. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Not that I know of.

I was involved in a traffic accident on Route 10 in California on February 27 and I hit the back of a large truck. My driving speed was 73mph and the impact speed was 33mph. The air bag of the vehicle deployed at the time, causing my right eyeball to rupture and permanently blind me. There was no damage to my face except for the right eye. My body didn't suffer any harm either. I looked up a lot of information and combined the results of the hospital diagnosis. I suspect a defect in the air bag caused my injury. And I found on the news that there have been many similar cases of airbags used by Toyota, which were accidental injuries caused by defective airbags. I would like your help to find out as soon as possible if my right eye is damaged due to a defective air bag from Toyota. I am driving a 2011 toyota, camry. Looking forward to your reply.

I dont feel safe in this car.
My vehicle's accelerator behaved oddly when my vehicle would not slow done. Instead my vehicle accelerated faster resulting in my vehicle becoming involved in a collision. It also has me very concerned that my airbags never deployed given the severity of my accident due to the speed at which my vehicle reached.
Airbag symbol was lit showing on my dash. I called Toyota service department, and they told me to bring my car in. After inspection, they told that a spring had broken, and that my airbag would not depoy in an accident. Cost to replace spring was over $500. I called Toyota to see if I could get some help with problem. Was told that they could not help me. My wife and I are living on a fix-income, and $500 is out of the question. I just saw a recall on a Toyota land cruiser, with what I think is the same problem with the airbag. We don't feel safe driving this car with faulty airbag. Part needed is a sprial 84306-06150 clock spring.
