My daughter had a frontal collision while driving through an intersection at approximately 30 mph. Our 2008 Toyota Corolla S struck another vehicle on its front left fender. Our 2008 Corolla sustained major frontal damages, including the disintegration of the bumper, damage to the hood, both fenders, radiator, etc. The front stabilizer bar was ripped off the chassis. During the impact, the seat belts locked, however, the front air bags never deployed!! the car was taken back to East coast Toyota, rt. 17, wood-ridge, NJ where the car was purchased on Feb. 22, 2011 as a "certified used vehicle." We complained about the faulty air bags & that they did not deploy in a frontal crash of 30 mph. The GM of the dealership & GM of the service department kept the vehicle for inspection & to have a Toyota Corp. Rep. Look at the car to determine why the front air bags did not deploy. The dealership attempted to tell us that the airbags should only deploy during a front impact, but the car did in fact sustain heavy damages do to the impact but the airbags did not deploy. The impact was so great that the steel stabilizer bar was completely ripped off. That alone should have triggered the airbags to deploy. The car is currently not drivable due to the numerous damage sustained to the front end, motor, radiator & other parts. We are waiting to hear from the dealer, my insurance adjuster & Toyota to find out why this important safety feature did not work as it was designed to.

While driving my 2008 Toyota Corolla le at 55 mph, I encountered a deer and was involved in a collision with the animal, on Saturday, February 19th, 2011. The collision totaled the vehicle, resulting in nearly 11K dollars in damage. The driver's side airbag during the accident became dislodged from the steering wheel, and fell out into my lap. The two torque screws used to hold it in the steering wheel assembly failed to function properly. I reported the incident to Toyota's complaint department and filed a formal grievance. A factory representative came out to see the vehicle and inspect the screws, and said that they are not at fault and that the problem "had to be my fault" after comparing my vehicle to other Toyota Corolla vehicles, stating that I or someone else "had to of removed the airbag at some time during the vehicle's life". I purchased the vehicle used in January, 2011 from a reputable dealer and received a vehicle history. At no time was the airbag reported to have been deployed or serviced, and the screws require a specialized torque screwdriver to remove. At the time of the accident, I had owned the vehicle only a month, and had not driven it more than three times, as I own another primary vehicle. This is a serious safety defect, and I have several witness statements showing that the airbag assembly was not properly secured. Had the airbag deployed while in my lap, I could have been killed or seriously injured. The entire airbag assembly, carriage, charge, and wires came out of the steering wheel itself.

I backed my 2008 Toyota Corolla out of my garage, with the steering wheel turned left. I used the remote control to close the garage door. I put my foot on the brake and put the car in drive, intending to pull forward and to the right up the drive. I gently gave the car some gas, but the car accelerated suddenly before I could turn the wheel. As a result, the unstoppable car shot off the driveway and down a slope where I crashed head on into a tree. The airbags failed to deploy.
