On may 26, 2009, a nissan sentra made an illegal left turn which resulted in my 2001 toyota corolla 's' being totaled. My seat belt allowed me to fly forward and my chest hit the steering wheel. My air bags did not deploy. I find this incomprehensible. I was traveling approximately 30-35 MPH. If I had been on the freeway I probably would have been killed.

My car suffered severe frontal damage . 2. The driver or passenger airbags in my car did not deploy leading to unecessary injury to the driver(myself) and severe injury to the passenger(my mother). 3. Nothing was done to correct the failure .
While driving 55 MPH the vehicle hit a barricade wall yet the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was also in a similar accident when the vehicle was first purchased and the air bags did not deploy.

Vehicle was involved in a head on collision going 40mph. Front air bags did not deploy which caused serious facial injury to consumer. Vehicle was totaled. Please provide more information.
While driving at 60 MPH, vehicle was involved in a frontal collision and neither air bag deployed. Dealer was not notified at this time.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Stepped on the brakes, but they failed to stop, airbag also failed, brakes fade to the floor, resulted in hitting another vehicle. Air bag did not open.
While backing out of a parking space consumer noticed a noise. Depressed brakes and noise got louder. Then vehicle acclerated, causing vehicle to run into wall. *ak consumer states that the acceleration took place while she was switching into drive from reverse, even though brake was pressed, vehicle continued to move, airbags deployed causing the windshield to break, consumer was slightly bruised and bumped due to deployment of the airbags.
Consumer's car rear ended another driver at about 10 MPH, and none of frontal airbags deployed, but sensor light came on.
I visited several toyota dealers because I am helping a friend in bying a new corolla. Despite I advise her to include the safety fetaures: side airbags and ABS no dealear make them available if not increasing the lease by 50% (while the increase in value is about 10%) and asking to wait 3 months. Making so practically impossible to have them. Some dealers reached the point to say that those items are not available on the corolla. Such a behaviour it is not acceptable. Car manufacturers are supposed to promote the sensibility toward safety not to boycott it.
While driving 45 - 50 MPH, a flatbed trailer was sideway in the dark on the opposite side of highway. Vehicle did not see the flatbed truck and hit it.went under the truck which caused damage to the front end, crushed the radiator, windshield, etc. Upon impact, driver's and passenger's airbags did not deploy, and did not protect occupanst in this crash. Please provide further information.
