Takata recall... As I was driving speed limit (60-65mph) on the freeway at around 11:30pm (10/21/16), driving on the 2nd lane. There was some debris on the road as I hit a pot hole my rear passenger tire pops. I instantly lose control as I see the semi-truck in the 3rd lane (truck lane). I tried to avoid the truck but the car took me into that direction. As my car slightly went under the truck, the trucks rear passenger tires ram over the top of the passenger side of the hood and my air bags never deployed. As I was under the truck I somehow get out of it and spin out until the car is complete stopped. When completely stopped, I am facing traffic coming towards my direction. Since the airbags didn't deploy it was an unsafe situation. Safety is everybody concerns and at the time my life could've been at risk. No other cars were involved in this accident but me and the semi-truck, but the semi-truck never stopped at the scene.

I hit a police car that was parked on the fast lane on the interstate and never even applied the brake. I was doing between 65 to 75 MPH. No airbags deployed! The impact... Well the front apron on the driver side is gone, the strut tower is gone (I don't mean bent .... Gone), the lower part of the a pillar is pushed in pretty bad, it buckled the floor pan, the door jam (rocker panel) buckled, the door bowed and even buckled the rear quarter. The door latch held up, the door had to be removed by the fire department. I keep my seat back pretty far, however my face hit the steering wheel hard enough to bend the top of the steering wheel and chin broke some of the plastic parts off the wheel and now missing part of my lip and have quite a few stitches in my face. And of course it knocked me out. I have lots of bruising from the seat belt around my waist, but none from the shoulder strap. The shoulder retractor didn't lock to keep me from hitting the wheel. The scion seat belts in the front have "pre-tensioner with force limiters" in them, neither worked. I called toyota, the claim rep stated that unless both airbag sensors take direct and equal impacts or the airbags will not go off. He stated that toyota wouldn't even look at the car for the airbags. Updated 12/08/10 *bf updated 12/13/10 updated 12/30/10 *bf updated ivoq 01/07/11

My daughter pedal stuck to the floor of her 2007 scion in 2009 of last year. I can provide the date of the incident. She was driving normal speed in corona california down hidden valley parkway. She tried to stop the car but the pedal was stuck & the rug mat always gave us problems with this fairly new vehicle. She was unable to stop at plowed in to the car at a higher speed due to the petal stuck and going in a downhill descend. As a result of the pedal/mat malfunction. She hit the vehicle at the light at a non-extreme speed but was not able to stop. The air bags did not deploy and she had hit the gentlemen in a truck in front of us. The corona police took the incident report down. The officer said it was amazing that she not injured too bad, but emotionally she was a mess. The whole front in of the vehicle came right into herfront seat & passenger seat. The airbags did not deploy at all. She was only injured slightly with a couple days off from school. Myself from work to attend to her pain. I was not in the vehicle. My daughter's car was totaled & the collision center, the insurance company filed the report of the stuck pedal(accelerator). I complained to toyota> I also was concerned about the incident. This incident happened prior to the recall but is too much of a co-incident. My daughter is a good driver. She complained of the pedal but I did not thank that it was going to be a safety issue. I have since then settled with the insurance company for the payment to purchase a new car. We bought another scion tc this time 2009. Now this car is better in the pedal area but still has a delay with the braking system and pulls to the left slightly. I am filing a complaint because the initial toyota was totaled due to a stuck pedal. This is before any recall or deaths occurred but several of my friends , colleagues are telling me to file the complaint for investigation to see why this failure occurred. I was only able to correct the failure with a new car. Than.

I was recently in a car accident where I hit a truck with the front of my car going at least 30 MPH and my airbag did not deploy which I believe increased my injury.
