Takata recall. On august 2017 I was in a accident I put my car in reverse and it flew me back and forward fast. My leg was broken and mouth busted.. The air bag didn't deploy. I was thrown to a brick wall
Pulling into a disabled retail parking space at very low speed, car lurched forward and hit the metal parking pole, damaging the front bumper and hood. Eyewitness to collision incident confirms this. Car was barely in motion and my foot was on the brake. I received whiplash requiring medical attention and injury to my right knee. Automotive repair company states impact was so severe that frame was bent, resulting in the insurance company declaring vehicle a total loss. However, the air bag never deployed even though the bumper damage occurred right at the air bag location on driver side. Toyota solara air bag should have deployed. The sudden lurch forward should not have occurred since my foot was on the brake at the time and barely moving. Pictures available. Police report not possible as they do not come to private parking property. Vehicle still drivable, so it was taken to toyota-approved auto repair shop.

Air bags: side/window
- What is wrong
- On certain vehicles equipped with curtain side air bags (csa), the csa tether strap located in the front pillars may have been incorrectly routed during the assembly process.
- Risk
- If the tether strap is not correctly routed, the front side of the csa may not deploy as designed, which may result in insufficient occupant protection during a side impact crash or rollover event.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect both csa front tether straps, and if necessary, reroute them. The recall began on december 21, 2006. Owners may contact toyota at 1‑888‑270‑9371.
