Filed Mar 31, 2015 · Airbags · NJ

According to you, I have been driving a killer car since 2013. Contacting my local toyota dealer, several times and bring in my vehicle for repair has failed. You regret any inconvenience? Does that cover injury or death? I will never buy another toyota vehicle. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

On july of 1999, I was driving my 1993 toyoto corolla when I was run off the road by another driver, thus causing me to hit a guard rail ,and the cement highway divider, my air bag deployed and my passenger received permanent damage to his finger, I received burns on my stomach, arms and 5 fractured ribs, also when the air bag deployed the plastic from the steering column flew off cut me in my lip, causing permanent damage. I also received severe brusing and permanent nerve damage in my chest . My car had no warning signs about the danger of the air bag, and I along with my passenger was wearing a seat belt. I retained a lawyer and I wrote toyota and to this date no one responded, I just found your website today. I also have picutures of my injuries. I feel there should have been a warning signs, and the force of the air bag should not have been so great , thus preventing me from sustaining so many permanent injuries. I can not understand why toyota never answered my letter. I retained an attorney and stated that the air bag companies have good lawyers and I would not win.

I own toyota carolla (1994 model) and my wife was involved in an accident - front impact. She must be travelling between 20-25 MPH when the accident occur and still the driver and passenger side airbag didn't inflate. Because of this she had bruised her jaw and broke the bone on her side face. No changes have been made in order to avoid any repeition like this. I would expect the driver side airbags to inflate on frontal impact.
