I was in a car accident.A woman failed to yield at a stop sign and rammed into the front of my car at a high accelerated speed. I was restrained but the right side of my forehead hit the rearview mirror.causing two huge knots on my head. My eye glasses also smashed into my right eye and I had a cut above my eye.I was thrown to the right passenger seat area, my right hip hit the gear shift and my knees and hip, were bruised. Apparently the seatbelt failed as well, but my main complaint is that the airbags failed to deploy. I suffered damage strain and bruising to both hands, the left was worse, I was made to wear a brace. I was taken to the ER via ambulance. One of the officers assumed I wasn-??t wearing a seatbelt, which was not true at all. He thought I hit the windshield but I did not, it was the mirror. I have proof, photos and all EMT and ER records report that I was restrained. A paramedic helped me remove the seatbelt to exit my car. I feel I wouldn't have suffered the head, eye and other injuries if the airbag had deployed.

For 2 years I've received recall on my car and each time I get same response from Toyota the tejas location that they don't have a remedy and I will get notified when they do. This is unacceptable !!! this is my 2nd year waiting and they don't have a list for me to get on. Two years waiting in a fix is way too long.

  • 65,000 miles
Takata inflators - the vehicle hit a curb and blew the passenger side tire. The seat belt light and air bag light has been flashing ever since about 65,000 miles. The air bag did not deploy and the seat belt still locks. If an accident occurs from the rear, side or front, the airbag would not deploy and the seat belt may not lock. The horn line disconnected from the horn unexpectedly. This happened on 6/15/18 at 88,585 miles. The air conditioner has a leak from the main line that connects to the square box at the back of the car wall. When the car is sitting still at a light or stop sign, hot air starts blowing.

As I was leaving for work one day, I tried hooking my seat belt and it unhooked, I tried again and it unhooked. Hooked until the last time. It worries me that my seat belt doesn't work properly and could fail to protect me in an accident. This happened in August 2017. I drive a Toyota Corolla S 2014. My car also has a non functional audio system and non functioning charger outlet. This is a hazard because I usually travel and need my navigation system functioning to get to places. Due to a non functional audio system I don't have access to navigation. I use my phone as navigation and when my phone battery dies I have no way of plugging it to charge in my car. On certain occasions I've found myself having to pull over in unfamiliar cities just to look for a place where I can plug my phone in to get battery, put the navigation and continue to my destination. It's really inconvenient and I don't feel safe having to take these measures.

Involved in a hit and run car accident on 01/23/2017 where I was rear ended by a vehicle driving approximately 60-70 mph. I was stationary at 0mph on th highway waiting on traffic to clear up.the hit from the unidentified driver caused me to hit my head on the steering wheel ( seatbelt didn't work) and rammed me into the car in front of me, contacting the right front of my car with the rear left side of the car in front of me. Airbag did not deploy. The unknown person that hit me tried to leave the scene and hit me again as he didn't make it all the way around me causing me to swing and hit my head again ( seatbelt did not work again) pictures show evidence of 2 license plate indents on the back bumper. I have thus sustained injuries from the accident and at this time am still undergoing treatment for a head concussion, and bulging disc in my neck. The vehicle was determined to be a total loss or also known as a totaled vehicle.

Corolla

  • 14,000 miles
The Corolla moving at about 35 mph on a 3 lane road hit another car that was stopped at a yellow blinking light in the rear, the Corolla's impact was on the left front side first so on a slight angle to the rear of the stopped car so it did not hit squarely. The seat belt did not function and the female driver of the Corolla hit her head on the window and her right knee hit the under dash, her weight is about 110 lbs. And small body frame. The air bags also did not function there is around $9000 damage to the car so this was not just a small collision. I have attached a pdf file with photos.

  • 8,200 miles
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).
