We was on Highway and a Buck jumped out, my passenger was freaked out knowing no Air Bags deployed. I was escorted home by police and Contacted Toyota, they sent a [XXX] to come take my sensors off the car and Never contacted me again, told me to sign into Toyota page and they'd get back to me. Now my car just sits Smashed in Garage, it was in great shape before and I was gonna trade it in. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Collided at 60+ mph on 190 by diesel large truck major front and side damage and no airbag deployment of any kind. His truck was fine and none of my side nor frontal airbags went off. My head slammed into the driver's window and my neck and back are really hurting. This happened just a couple days ago.
I bought a 2014 certified Toyota Corolla S at Toyota culver city last July 2017, maintanance of my vehicle is always service at this location ever since I got it. The other day while cleaning my vehicle I noticed that the paint on the corner side of my hood is peeling off. Thought that it was just normal so I bought a Toyota touch up paint and tried to touch up the peeling paint but ever time I brush it lightly to add the touch up paint the paint on my hood will peel off. I checked google to see if im the only one who has encounter this paint issue. But its not just me. I checked if there are any recalls from Toyota about the paint job but nothing.
I was driving down a secluded street at about 20mph when I heard a loyd explosion on my right side of my car. My passenger side mirror had exploded. The mirror itself was shattered and hanging down, the back panel was found in some bushes on the side of the street. I was driving up the street so cars were on my left. There was no one walking past, nor were there any bicycles or anything on the side of the road that could cause such damage. It was very frightening. I spent almost 30minutes walking up and down the street trying to figure out what could have happened and nothing made sense. The mirror did not turn in, as would happen if I had hit something. There is a black mark on my car door from the glass piece slamming into it from the explosion.
In March 1 2019 at 840 pm I was driving my Toyota Corolla 2014 heading South on arch street in pittsford Vermont. I drove down the road went over a little hill and as I came over the tiny hill in my vision I saw a driving car coming towards me in there appropriate lane, with there headlights on, then I saw a parked car blocking 70 percent of my lane. I had no choice but to hit the parked car. When I hit the car my air bags did not deploy. I don't remember anything after my face hit the steering wheel. My air bags did not deploy! I have broken bones in my face and can't see clearly out of my right eye. I've gone to a eye md who is a retina specialist and she says I'm not going to be able to see out of my right eye. I do have a lawyer but I believe if I would have known about this defect than I would have had this fixed and would have had the proper deploy of the air bag which then I would not be losing my site. I was going 35 mph.

I was parked in the underground parking at the North West corner of amherst ave and santa monica blvd in los angeles. I was exiting driving up the very narrow exit ramp. 1.the one way exit to the lot curves and is very narrow. As I navigated the narrow exit, I felt that I was almost touching the wall on the right side. 2.I applied the brakes and put the car in reverse in order to get away from the wall. However, the brakes did not respond and the car rolled backwards around the bend, hitting the wall behind me. The car came to a complete stop. 3.applying the brakes had no impact on the car neither decelerating nor accelerating. This shows that the brakes definitely did not work. 4.with my foot on the brakes, I put the car in drive. At no time did I press the accelerator pedal. I would have heard the engine. The instant I shifted to drive, the car lunged forward at a very high rate of speed. Consequentially, my car zoomed up the driveway into the ground level parking facing West. Within a second or so, my car collided with another car, parked facing West in front of pizza hut. Due to the force of the impact at such a high rate of speed, the parked Hyundai superseded the concrete parking barrier crashing into pizza hut, shattering the store front window. 5.my car was thankfully stopped due to impact with the Hyundai on the right side of my vehicle and a low wall on the left side.
When I pull my car into a parking spot with a cement parking bump stopper, the car hangs up on it causing some scratches on the underside- Toyota has said there is no design flaw but I disagree. If I do not pull in all the way, I risk someone hitting the back of the car because I will be sticking out too far. A second problem is the ac. I live in Florida and when I get into the car it is often over 100 degrees.. I have to drive for a few minutes with hot air blowing on me before the cool air kicks in. This makes me sweat and very uncomfortable. Toyota says that is just the design of the car. I never had that problem with my two rav4's. I am also wondering if a have the airbags that are recalled. No notice yet.
As I was driving around a curved street, my steering wheel locks on me. I could not swerve and turn my car to follow the curved street. I could not move the wheel at all. My car ran into a tree head first. All the airbags deployed and smoke appeared. My entire car was totaled and smashed in the front. Scariest thing because I had no control. Thank god, my 1 year old son was not in the backseat or else he would have been fatally injured with those airbags. I need to know what can be done. Toyota has had recalls in the past and this could have ended my life.
This am I hit a deer on the way to work head on at 65-67 mph and not one air bag deployed!!! the entire front end crumpled to the windshield area and the radiator and parts torn lose to the top of engine and not one air bag deployed. Everyone at the wreck could not believe it and now I am terrified of the car if direct contact at that speed does not open the safety equipment what will? this car is not safe.
I was making a right turn pulling into a parking space in a shopping mall. I was approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of the way in when the vehicle took off and went into a tree and then a wall. I would guess the vehicle traveled approximately 40 feet after the sudden and unintended acceleration. This definitely was sudden and unintended acceleration. The front end of the vehicle was damaged by the tree and the wall the air bag did not deploy.
As I was driving through the rain storm at night, I noticed my windshield wiper motor stop working. The next morning I found there is a flaw of design where the fluid delivery system is below the engine hood which is a completely and utterly moronic. I found out damaged/dent hood caused it to improperly malfunction.
I was driving in a normal local road condition in a Sunday afternoon. I was aware a 6" crack on the drive-side windshield. It started from the edge. Next morning when I drove to work, it grew to about 2' long. It scared me and I took immediately action and fixed it next day (Tuesday).
