I was involved in a severe roll over accident late at night. I rolled 4 times and slid 300 feet upside down. Luckily im alive thanks to my seat belt and the reinforced frame. However, I have a sever concussion because my front air bags never went off. The side ones did but never the front. This caused me to have very bad bruising on my head and a concussion.
My son was in an accident and hit a tree. The car was totaled and the air bags never deployed as a result he hit the windshield with his head and needed stitches
I have received several notices of an airbag recall in my vehicle. The notices instruct me to take the car to a dealership for repair immediately. If I'm unable to take to a dealership, I'm to have someone else perform the repair and then Toyota will reimburse me. The dealership in costa rica, where my car is located, will not perform the repair. I have contacted Toyota and am unable to find out exactly what needs to be done or how to get reimbursed once the repair is complete. The last communication I had with Toyota, a representative told me he was waiting to hear back from Japan and that he would only email me if he heard and they gave him relevant information. Surely someone at the Toyota company must know the repair needed. In the meantime, I keep receiving notices from Toyota about how unsafe my car is and to get it fixed immediately. I'm trying!!!
The contact owned a 2015 Toyota Corolla. While driving approximately 36 mph, the driver lost control of the steering and the vehicle rolled over multiple times before crashing into a wooded area. During the incident, the front end of the vehicle was severely damaged, but the air bag did not deploy. The driver sustained a concussion, and an injured back and ribs. Medical attention was received. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. The failure mileage was 24,000.
This car was rear ended 17 months ago and none of the 8 airbags deployed. I got a herniated disc and a broken rib. The other driver insurance paid for the $12,000 repairs on my car and some of my medical expenses but now here I am with an injury for the rest of my life. This car should be included in the airbag lawsuit and I should be compensated for my injuries.
