Vehicle was involved in accident on 08/22/2021. The speed was 55-60 mph . The vehicle in front, a 2014 Chevrolet 4wd full size pick up changed lanes (left to right) clipping the left front of the Toyota & slammed on brakes. The Toyota went under the bumper & right rear fender of the truck. The damage to the Toyota included the ECU, ABS & brake components, wiring harness & fuse/relay blocks, & all of the sheet metal, bumper, A/C,etc. Insurance company opted to repair the vehicle (cost is now approaching $18,000). My wife & granddaughter (adult) were the front seat occupants. They both sustained bruises but no serious injuries. If the air bags do not deploy in an accident that destroys the entire front end of a 4 year old vehicle with 25,000 miles (we purchased new), what does it take for them to deploy? Does not give us much confidence in the safety. The vehicle is currently at Greenville Toyota Body Shop in Greenville,SC. Repairs started 09/02/2021. Waiting for interior wiring harness. No warning lights or issues before the crash. The battery was destroyed in the crash.
