AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. IT HAS NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE; MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN TEXAS, SPENT SOME TIME IN MARYLAND DURING THE WINTER, AND NOW IT'S IN VERMONT. DURING THOSE TIMES, THIS WAS NEVER AN ISSUE, UNTIL NOW. I ASSUME THAT THE COLD WEATHER IN VERMONT HAS SOMETHING TO WITH IT AND MAY BE AFFECTING THE SENSORS. THE TOTAL MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 36,000.

THIS IS JUST A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL, SAFETY ISSUE, NO INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT. I SEE FROM THE NHTSA REPORT THAT MY VEHICLE IS ON THE RECALL LIST, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED AND I CALLED A DEALERSHIP AND THE PERSON ACTED LIKE THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A RECALL. I WANT TO GET MY CAR CHECKED OUT, AND I AM NOT GOING TO PAY FOR IT. HOW DO I DO THIS?

I WAS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS T-BONED ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND PUSHED FROM THE TRAFFIC LANE ONTO SIDEWALK INTO TELEGRAM POLE. THE IMPACT WAS SO FORCEFUL THAT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED BUT WAS HELD TOGETHER DUE TO TINE ON WINDOW. OUTSIDE MIRROR SHATTERED AND GLASS CAME INTO CAR. I HAD SEAT BELT ON BUT SOMEHOW MANAGED TO BUMP MY HEAD ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH WAS CRACKED. SUFFERED A MILD CONCUSSION FROM CT SCAN. SO FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE, BUMPER AND PASSENGER SIDE RECEIVED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE WHICH MADE THE CAR UNDRIVABLE. DURING THE COURSE OF THE FORCEFUL HIT AND BEING PUSHED ONTO THE SIDEWALK INTO THE TELEGRAM POLE, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. IN THIS VEHICLE THERE ARE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS WHICH I FEEL SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED DUE TO THE IMPACT OF THE OTHER VEHICLE (1998 DURANGO). WOULD LIKE SOME RESEARCH DONE BEFORE I TAKE FURTHER CIVIL ACTION IN REGARDS TO THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. THE CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND THE BENDING OF THE FRAME ON THE CAR. *TR

I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE AIR BAG SENSOR. MY WIFE AND A CO-WORKERS WIFE WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT SEVERELY DEFORMED THE FRONT OF A 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA WITHOUT TRIGGERING THE AIRBAG SENSOR. UPON INSPECTION, IT APPEARS THAT THE PORTION OF THE CAR THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR IS ATTACHED TO, MOVED OVER A FOOT AND A HALF WITHOUT TRIGGERING THE AIR BAG SENSOR. AS A FORMER ASE MASTER TECHNICIAN AND TECHNICAL EXPERT FOR THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, THIS MAY BE A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD ENDANGER THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHER 2012 COROLLA OWNERS. I FILE A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA USA AND I AM WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE. *TR

THE DRIVER FELL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, AWOKE AND TRIED TO CORRECT HIS LANE POSITION. UPON HIS ATTEMPT, THE CAR COULD NOT BE STABILIZED OR CONTROLLED. THIS WAS A FRONT END CRASH AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 50 - 55 MPH GOING THROUGH A CHAIN LINK FENCE, HITTING HUNDREDS OF STACKED LOBSTER CRATES (LIKE HITTING A BRICK WALL). THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED, THE DRIVER HAD SEAT BELT ON. NOT ONE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR SMASHED THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND A PIECE OF WOODEN LOBSTER CRATE WITH NAILS CAME THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND INTO THE VEHICLE.
