What owners say
Traveling on a local hwy and a vehicle, two cars in front, made a sudden left turn causing the vehicle in front of me to lock down their brakes thus causing me to stop abruptly. My braking system locked my wheels down causing me to slide into the car in front of me at 35 MPH. Upon impact, my airbags did not deploy and my seatbelt did not keep me from hitting the windshield causing injuries to my head, neck and body injuries from hitting the steering wheel. I am also pregnant. Wellness followups are being conducted. I ma taking the vehicle to the local toyota dealership to access damages and find out why the seatbelt and airbag failed to operate properly. The passengers of the vehicle in front of me also sustained injuries.
