Police case : 2500011609 The failure of the airbags in my Toyota Camry placed both the driver and the minor passenger at significant risk of injury. While the airbags in the Ford vehicle deployed and presumably helped protect its occupants, my passenger was left unprotected, leading to sustained injuries that require ongoing medical treatment. This raises serious concerns about the reliability of Toyota’s airbag system. Collision between Toyota Camry 2011 with a 2005 Black Ford Freestyle. The Ford vehicle's airbags deployed, but the airbags in my Toyota Camry did not deploy, despite the severity of the crash. The airbag system in my Toyota Camry, specifically the airbag sensors and deployment mechanism, failed to activate during the crash. This failure prevented the airbags from deploying, which is critical given the impact severity. The vehicle was totaled due to extensive damage, and the airbag system in my Toyota Camry has not been inspected by the manufacturer yet. However, it should be made available for inspection by Toyota or a qualified independent service center upon request. The failure of the airbags to deploy exposed the driver and the minor passenger to increased risk of injury. The airbags are an essential safety feature meant to reduce injury during moderate to severe collisions, and their failure likely contributed to the severity of the injuries sustained by the passenger. The passenger, a minor, is now attending regular doctor appointments for treatment, indicating the serious nature of the injuries. Not able to perform her summer job and not able to appear in pre enrolled all Swimming events . She is unable to swim or move her body swiftly. Her gripping power is now too less on left hand side. •The vehicle has not yet been inspected by a dealer or independent service center to confirm the failure of the airbag system. However, the failure to deploy was immediately noticeable after the accident, and it was clearly documented in the police rep

Had a car accident and none of air bags deployed. Car rolled over several times and hit a ditch and property sign

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Sear, safety belt, airbag and the speedometer 1.The driver side seat was powered by electricity, it moved forward by itself during the crash. However, the car battery was destroyed and caught on fire as soon as the crash happened. 2.The airbag might have a delayed deployment, which caused my right eye rupture. 3.The speedometer stopped at 93mph however the crash data retrieval report shows its 75 mph. The vehicle is available for inspection since I still have the vehicle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I suffered right eye globe rupture, basically lost my right eye. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Not that I know of. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.

The contact owned a 2011 Toyota Camry.

I was involved in a traffic accident on Route 10 in California on February 27 and I hit the back of a large truck. My driving speed was 73mph and the impact speed was 33mph. The air bag of the vehicle deployed at the time, causing my right eyeball to rupture and permanently blind me. There was no damage to my face except for the right eye. My body didn't suffer any harm either. I looked up a lot of information and combined the results of the hospital diagnosis. I suspect a defect in the air bag caused my injury. And I found on the news that there have been many similar cases of airbags used by Toyota, which were accidental injuries caused by defective airbags. I would like your help to find out as soon as possible if my right eye is damaged due to a defective air bag from Toyota. I am driving a 2011 toyota, camry. Looking forward to your reply.

I AM WRITING BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA MAY HAVE UNDERREPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THE VOLUNTARY RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V014000. I OWN A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL, OR NEITHER I NOR MY DEALER RECEIVED NOTICE. AS YOU KNOW, THIS RECALL IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TO INFLATE IN AN ACCIDENT. ON FEBRUARY 17, 2015, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE T-BONED, WITH THE STRIKING CAR HITTING THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND B-PILLAR AREA FLUSH AT ABOUT 40 MPH. ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR CURTAIN DEPLOYED, THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT. MY DAUGHTER RECEIVED SOME INJURIES FROM THE FAILURE OF THIS AIRBAG TO INFLATE AND PROTECT HER. TOYOTA DID VISIT THE VEHICLE AFTER THE COLLISION AND DOWNLOADED THE DATA FROM THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, AND IT SHOWED A FAILURE OF THAT AIRBAG. I TRIED TO ATTACH A COPY OF THE DOWNLOADED DATA FOR YOUR REVIEW, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTACH IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO SEND YOU THIS PDF FILE. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT PERHAPS TOYOTA HAS UNDERREPORTED THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, PUTTING MORE UNSUSPECTING TOYOTA CUSTOMERS AT RISK. IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION FROM ME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. MY CELL PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX].

I WAS REAR ENDED CAUSING ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DESPITE THE IMPACT BEING SIGNIFICANT. *TR

Mileage: 25,000

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A DIRT ROAD, GOING AROUND A CORNER, THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN AND WENT OFF THE ROAD AND SKIDDED ALONGSIDE THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 30 FT. THE VEHICLE THEN HIT A FEW SMALL STUMPS, STILL WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN, AND FINALLY SLAMMED INTO A LARGE TREE. THE IMPACT IN WHICH THE CAR HIT THE TREE WAS SO STRONG THAT THE BACK END OF THE CAR ROSE UP INTO THE AIR AND STAYED IN THAT VERTICAL POSITION. ONLY THE TAIL LIGHTS WERE STILL VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD AFTER THE CAR SLAMMED INTO THE TREE AND STOPPED. IF THE TREE HADN'T BEEN HIT, THE CAR WOULD HAVE CONTINUED DOWN THE HILLSIDE INTO THE BOTTOM OF A RAVINE, ABOUT ANOTHER 40 FT. THE ENTIRE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WAS SHOVED ALMOST TO THE WINDSHIELD AND NOT ONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE ENTIRE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE MOTOR AND HOOD WERE DESTROYED, THE BATTERY WAS CRUSHED AND LEAKING ACID EVERYWHERE AND WAS SITTING BEHIND THE FRONT TIRE AND THE HOOD WAS "V" SHAPED AND PUSHED INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS SO CLEARLY THE BRAKES WEREN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY EITHER, ALSO THE SPEED IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE TREE SHOWS THAT THE ACCELERATION WAS FAULTY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN. THE DRIVERS FACE SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND BROKE HER NOSE AND RECEIVED A POSSIBLE CONCUSSION BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY, ALONG WITH NUMEROUS BRUISES AND SCRATCHES. THE DAMAGE IS SO SEVERE THAT THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS BUT STILL WE ARE LEFT WONDERING WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. IF THE DRIVER HADN'T BEEN WEARING HER SEATBELT, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY. WE HAVE PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT TO SHOW JUST HOW SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS THIS IS. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ANSWERS AS TO WHY A VEHICLE WITH SUCH HIGH CRASH TEST RATINGS WOULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SAFETY TO THE DRIVER. *TR

WE WERE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, AND WE WERE AT A COMPLETE STOP IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE CAR BEHIND US GOING 65 ? 70 MPH NEVER STOPPED. SMASHED US FROM BEHIND AND PUSHED US INTO THE BACK OF A SEMI TRUCK. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY DO NO GO OFF ALL THE TIME. ISN'T WHAT THEY ARE FOR? THIS WAS AN IMPACT FROM THE BACK AND THE FRONT. WHEN I DID THE RESEARCH ON AIRBAGS, THEY ARE DESIGNED TO GO OF AT WHAT MPH. THE REASON THAT WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WAS FOR THE SAFETY RATINGS. I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME ANSWERS. ALL TOYOTA DOES IS MAKE EXCUSES. I LOVED MY CAR. 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AS A USED RENTAL RETURN VEHICLE ON AUGUST 18, 2011. ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2011 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP (IRON TRAIL MOTORS - VIRGINIA, MN) BECAUSE THE AIR BAG SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TURNED OFF WHILE THE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THEY RESET THE AIRBAG AND THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME AND WITHIN A WEEK THE SAME ERROR OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ORDERED A NEW WIRING HARNESS FROM TOYOTA AND REPLACED THE WIRING TO THE AIR BAG AND SENSORS. I ONCE AGAIN TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME AND WITHIN THREE DAYS THE SAME ERROR RECURRED. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE AND AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR FOUR DAYS I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT THE FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE FROM TOYOTA TOLD THEM (DEALERSHIP) THAT WE WERE "BEING SEATED TO HEAVILY" ON THE SEAT AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD RESET THE SENSOR ONCE AGAIN, ADDITIONALLY I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT TOYOTA WOULD NO LONGER PAY FOR ANY FURTHER RETURNS OF THE CAR BECAUSE OF AIR BAG ISSUES. TODAY I FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE (CASE # [XXX]) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HEADING EAST ON RT. 41 AND UPON INTERING AN INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGTH I SLOWED TO ALLOW 2 CARS TO PASS FROM THE ONCOMING EAST TRAFFIC BEFORE MAKING A LEFT TURN NORTH ONTO A 4 LANE STREET. UPON ACCELERATING TO MAKE THE TURN, THE CAR HIT THE RIGHT CURB AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED CAUSING ME TO QUICKLY STEER TO THE LEFT TO STOP ME FROM HITTING THE ON COMING TRAFFIC FROM THE NORTH.. I MANAGED TO CROSS TWO LANES BUT IN THE THIRD LANE WAS HIT BY AN ONCOMING SOUTH BOUND VEHICLE.. MY CAR WAS THEN STOPPED BY THE LEFT HAND CURB. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS DEMOLISHED AND $8,000 DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO MY FRONT END. THE AIR BAGS IN THE DEMOLISHED CAR WERE DEPLOYED BUT MINE WERE NOT. I FEEL AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXCELERATED CAUSING THE ACCIDENT SO AFTER HAVING THE CAR REPAIRED AND CHECKED I COULD NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT SO TRADED IT OFF THE ONE THAT I COULD. *LN

ON 9 DEC 2010, I DROVE A RENTAL CAR, 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY (BLUE) FROM VIRGINIA BACK TO NEW JERSEY (NJ). THE CAR HAD 3316 MILES WHEN I RENT ON 8 DEC 2010 IN NJ. AT APPROXIMATELY 6:35 PM EDT ON 9 DEC 2010, I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOST LEFT EXPRESS LANE AT 60 MPH IN PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY IN MARYLAND. THE DRIVER FROM MY RIGHT HAND PASSENGER SIDE TENDED TO PASS ME FROM THE RIGHT, AND THAT CAR WAS ALSO VERY CLOSE TO ME. I COULD NOT EVEN SEE THE REAR LIGHT OF THAT VEHICLE. I WAS FORCED TO SLOW DOWN THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY TO AVOID COLLISION, BUT THE CAR COULD NOT SIMPLY SLOW DOWN. IN ORDER TO AVOID THE COLLISION, I SHIFT PART OF MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER IN MY LEFT HAND SIDE. THEN I DISCOVERED A CAR PARKED ON THE SHOULDER WITH NO SIGNALS/LIGHTS. I PUT ON BRAKES THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY REALLY HARD TO THE FLOOR, BUT THE CAR COULD NOT SLOW DOWN AND COULD NOT STOP COMPLETELY. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IN THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS OBVIOUSLY FAILED AND IT WAS EVEN ACCELERATED DURING THE LAST FEW SECONDS PRIOR TO THE COLLISION. THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS FINALLY HIT RIGHT ONTO BACK OF THE PARKED CAR (ON THE SHOULDER). AFTER THE SEVERE COLLISION AT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS DEPLOYED FROM THIS SEVER FRONT DRIVER SIDE COLLISION. MOST OF ALL, I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY DUE TO ITS BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE! THE MILEAGE AFTER THE COLLISION WAS 3595 AND THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MILES DRIVING DURING THIS TRIP WAS 279 MILES (8-9 DEC 2010). I WAS HURT SEVERELY IN THE LOWER BACK/LUMBAR SPINE AREA. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS SURVIVED FROM THIS SEVERE CAR ACCIDENT. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 30, 2010 OUR 2011 CAMRY WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAMRY WAS STRUCK BY A 1999 HONDA CRV, THE POINT OF IMPACT WAS BEHIND THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT. THE CRV CONTINUED TO TRAVEL ALONG THE RIGHT FRONT QUARTER PANEL, BREAKING THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE AND STOPPED AT THE FRONT OF THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. THE ESTIMATED SPEED OF MY CAMRY WAS 10MPH AND THE HONDA CRV WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THE FRONT AIR BAG ON THE CAMRY DEPLOYED BUT NONE OF THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE IMPACT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSED MY DAUGHTER, RIDING IN THE BACKSEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, TO HIT HER HEAD ON THE WINDOW. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE WINDOW TO SHATTER. A WITNESS AT THE SCENE OBSERVED HER STOCKING CAP FLY OUT THE REAR WINDOW. MY DAUGHTER WAS TAKEN TO THE DOCTOR AND WAS CLEARED AND WE WERE ADVISED TO OBSERVE HER FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS TO MAKE SURE SHE DID NOT HAVE A CONCUSSION. THE DOCTOR ALSO STATED THAT SHE WAS LUCKY TO BE WEARING THE STOCKING CAP AS IT HELPED CUSHION THE BLOW. THE DAMAGE ON THE CAMRY WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE VEHICLE. I TRIED TO GET AN ANSWER FROM TOYOTA AS TO WHY THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BUT AS OF YET I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. *TR
