Air bags failed to deploy. I had sent in a complaint after the incident. Car was totaled and driver was injured with a front end collision. Toyota refused to look at car for airbag defects. I can send images if needed. Recalled for too much force? How about just defective? This is at least as dangerous as deploying with too much force in my opinion.

I was driving my children to school and a car coming in the opposite direction tried to make a left hand turn in front of me, she did not have time to make the turn( I didn't even have time to put on brakes) which ended up in a head on collision. I was going around 45mph and my airbag did not deploy. No one was seriously hurt but my head and upper body did get bruised and banged up pretty bad. I do have a police report and I'm waiting to get the copy.
