Takata recall, I was driving home in stop in go traffic on freeway and the truck in front of me speed up. Once I accelerated to about 20-25 miles an hour the truck stopped, I saw it and tried to stop but brakes would not work. There was a grinding noise that you could feel and hear as well as wouldn't let you push all the way down on brakes. This resulted in me hitting the person in front of me. Hood is pushed up and front bumper completely off as well as light damage and more but no airbags were deployed. All 3 of my children were in the car with me and this is a hug safety issue.
SRS light is on in car indicator. And it shows there is something wrong with air bag. Bu after diagnosed by at least four mechanics it still do not show where the problem is from" ( what part") or what's the problem" or why is SRS light is on"
On 08/07/2018, I was in a car (2016 Toyota Corolla) accident where another car slammed me in the rear and I've hit a Chevy pickup in the back. The pick-up was coming to a stop which I was slowing down as well and I'm assuming the car that was behind did not paid attention. Therefore, he hit me between 45-50 mph in the back which I've hit the truck abruptly at 30-35mph. My airbags did not deploy which is very shocking and my shoulder along with my arm slammed into the steering wheel. Also, I had a hard time with my brakes because it felt like it was stuck and wouldn't go down as I was pressing on it. I'm suffering from intense right leg pain as if I've torn the muscle but 10X's worst. Ever since the accident, my leg has been going numb quite frequently which goes into my toes. I'm walking with a limp and my shoulder has sharp pain as well. I'm starting to think that my airbags were defective because it should have deploy as soon as the impact occurred but it didn't...

Takata recall. I was recently in an accident on Friday 6/15. I was rear ended by a Ford Explorer going 60 miles per hour while I was stopped in traffic on I495. This collision caused me to rear end the car in front of me. The airbags did not deploy which caused me to slam my head into the steering wheel. I went to the hospital where I was diagnosed with a concussion. Since the accident I have still had headaches and sensitivity to light. I also have had severe bruising due to the impact. Prior to the collision I had sticky brakes which sometimes I would break and the break would not halt properly, , but when pressed again the car would brake. During the accident the brakes did this sticky effect and caused the impact to be greater.
Takata recall? I was involved in an auto accident where my 2016 Toyota Corolla le was T-boned on the front passenger side/front corner(headlight area) and then the other vehicle also hit me along the back half of the passenger side as well. I was making a left turn on a city blvd when I was hit. Passenger side curtain air bags deployed. I was hit at a speed or 40-55mph. The front air bags did not deploy and the seat belt let me go forward( (I believe I hit the steering wheel), I have a bruised sternum and an aortic aneurysm in my descending aorta as a result of the accident.
My SRS airbag warning light came on out of nowhere. Shortly after that my steering wheel continually clicks when I turn it. And within the same day now my horn stopped working as well as all of the buttons on the steering wheel no longer work including the cruise control. The light never went away and the functions of the steering wheel no longer work when there is no cause or reason for this to happen.
I was involved in an accident that was not my fault I was in a road where the speed liimit was 25-35 mph. Mostly a straight road a few slight curves. A car came over into my lane and caused me to swerve out of the way to avoid hitting that person head on. I went into a ditch full of huge rocks. The air bags never deployed which in my opinion tfhey should had, but from what I hear it may have caused even more damage. Anyways I could not identify the car who swerved into my lane. My car was damaged it hit straight forward into the huge rocks. I was pretty sore but did not go to the er. My car had a pretty good amount of damage but luckily I was able to drive it out of the ditch. It busted up the front of my car near the passenger sided, and caused quite the damage to my front passenger tire. Normally my 5 year old daughter would had been riiding on that side. Luckily she wasn't that day.
I have been in two accidents where both times I was ran off the road into a ditch. In neither accident did any of the air bags deploy but I definitely hit hard enough in which they should had. One time my child was in the back seat. I hit a ditch filled with huge rocks the first accident was settled at over $1700 and the 2nd accident is still in the claims portion of the accident, where I was ran off the road. The air bags should had deployed but from the negative publicity it may had caused more damage, and thatbis very scary to think about seeing that my 5 year old was involved in one of the accidents. The accident was on a road with a speed limit of 35-40 mph with no stop signs or stop lights until the end of the estimated 2 mile road.
I was driving southbound on the I-5 going 75 mph when I veered off the road into a ditch. The entire vehicle is damaged, especially the front end. The vehicle is totaled and the air bags did not deploy. Ems took me to the hospital because I had horrible chest pain and it was hard to breathe. I had to spend the night in the hospital so that they could monitor my chest because I now have a broken my sternum. The doctors told me that if my air bags deployed, I would not have broken my sternum.
The contact owned a 2016 Toyota Corolla. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle hydroplaned and crashed into the median. The contact stated that the front end of the vehicle was damaged.

Accident due to breaks locking and the car continued to roll. Back seat passenger seat belt did not lock causing passenger to fly forward and back; injured breast bone driver air bag from steering wheel did not inflate fully.
The car was involved in the accident with all the airbags deployed, date of crash Apr.16,2016 at $10.25 pm.hsmv report 385303651, I feel the airbags did not protect me properly, and I would like to be added to auction class law suite.
When I drove my car into my garage, the car accelerated and smashed into my back garage wall (a load bearing wall), completely detaching it from the top and bottom. I decided to back up the car a foot for clearance for me into my house, but the car then accelerated backwards into the street ramming into my neighbor's vehicle. While my car was now smashed front and back, none of the air bags deployed. I put the car back in drive to remove it from my neighbor's car and again, it accelerated, racing down the street and, across a busy intersection. I had my foot on the brake and was pulling on the emergency (or parking) brake and it finally came to a stop. The police were called and came but said since it was only property damage there would be no report. I shut off the ignition.
