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.

On May 6, 2014, my wife [xxx] and I were driving home to wlliston, Vermont from arlington, Vermont. We were driving North at approximately 45 mph in our 2014 Toyota Corolla le. At the blinking light intersection of dorset street and cheese factory road, we made a right hand turn and drove East. It was a very dark night and I mis-judged the distance to the end of cheese factory road, where you could either turn left or right. At the intersection of cheese factory road and hinesburg road, there are no blinking lights or reflectors, and, in the darkness, I missed the stop sign, went straight through the intersection and crashed into a ditch on the other side of the road. Upon impact, my air bags deployed, and I felt only a sharp pain in my lower back. Immediately getting out of the car, I moved to the passenger side to find my wife out of the car on her hands and knees, crying out that she was unable to breathe. In the hospital [xxx] was diagnosed with a cracked sternum, an L 1 compression fracture in her back, 3 broken ribs and a broken left wrist. She spent 9 days in icu. It has only been in the last few weeks that my wife and I have had an in-depth discussion of the accident. [xxx] says that her seat belt did not hold her back, and that her chest hit the dash before her air bag deployed; yet, at impact she was able to see that my air bag had deployed before hers. This would probably account for the severity of her injuries and for the relatively minor injuries for mine. We are now aware that the 2013 Toyota Corolla had airbag issues and wonder if our 2014 Toyota Corolla might have similar problems. We have also been told by medical personnel that tremendous force would be required to crack a sternum, the kind of force that would come from hitting the dash board. For these reasons we are filing a claim. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
