I got hit (t boned) by a truck on my (driver's) side when the driver of the truck failed to yield. It was severe; my car swirled around for a couple of times. The front of my car was smashed and it was total by insurance company. The most dangerous thing was, my airbag did not even flinch. Big question is, after buying a new car, doing servicing regularly from the dealer and maintaining properly, why the airbags did not open? It might be manufacture's error or the dealer's.
My 2006 toyota corolla's airbags did not deploy when I had a head on collision. The entire front of my vehicle was smashed to a pulp, and my airbags didn't even flinch. I tried to find out if this was a manufacturer defect or if there was a recall on this so to have it fixed, but have not been able to find anything on this.
My 2006 toyota corolla s was rear ended on the right half of the rear bumper on hwy 85, then propelled into a concrete barrier creating left front damage. The trunk was crumpled including the right rear roof support. The crash to the front broke a large piece out f the left wheel and flattened the tire. The seat belt held me, but I suffered two severe whiplashes and still under treatment for injuries. The car has been repaired at a cost of $9,300. I don't understand why the airbag didn't deploy. The toyota agency said it was because the collision didn't happen in the middle of the front bumper. It is my understanding that airbags are suppose to protect you. Is there an issue with toyota airbags?
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 toyota corolla. While the contact's wife was seated in the front passenger seat, the air bag on/off switch failed. The dealer recalibrated the sensor in the seat to 85 pounds so that the 95 pound wife could sit in the front seat without the air bag failing.

The failure mileage was 15,000 and current mileage was 21,000.
In march 2008, I was the 3rd car in a four car accident. When I was hit from the rear, I was pushed, extremely hard into the car in front of me. I lost conscientiousness when I hit the steering wheel. My air bags never deployed, nor did my seat belt lock up in order for me to avoid an injury. Should toyota be recalling their 2006 corollas for re-check and repair. Also, I understand the 2006 toyota was recalled in 2007 for exterior lighting issues, I was never notified.

Last year we purchased a 2006 toyota corolla. We added side air bags. We wanted a safe vehicle for our daughter to drive. Two days ago she was driving a friend to work. A car was parked on the right side of the road. It pulled out to a make a u-turn right in front of her. She avoided a straight on t-bone of the car by braking and swerving to the right. The left front of her car hit the drivers door and side of the other car. She was traveling at 50 MPH. The airbags did not deploy. The passenger in her car hit his head on the dashboard- his seatbelt did not tighten and lock in. He suffered a concussion. Both my daughter and passenger suffered body aches and bruising from the collision. At this time the car is at a body shop for estimates on the damage. We will have it also go to the toyota dealer to determine why the airbags and seatbelt failed to work. We purchased this vehicle specifically for its safety features and are quite dismayed that they failed. We have no confidence in this vehicle now.

Was driving down an decline in the road and was applying the brake gently due to stop light at the oncoming intersection, which I saw that was red, but it changed to green and I reapplied the gas at this time. Then , I heard a great loud noise and this thing was in my face, and I could not see . I knew that I needed to get the car off the road, but I was fighting the airbag to see the road and to prevent me from hitting a car in front, I used my right hand to fight the airbag and my left to steer the car. At this point I was thinking I had passed the intersection which had a small area for flowers or signs, had a 4-6 curb, but when I turned the wheel toward the right to get off the road I ran upon the median( across the curb which was 4-6 inches in height, and this damaged the tire rims . They were bend and damaged the tires , all four went flat. I still managed to get the car to safety without any real injury to myself. I am still in daze with this freak occurrence. I have never experience d anything like this. I would like to hear from others., but mainly I would like to know what caused this. The car had been hit in the rear approximately 6 months prior, in which the whole trunk area and back had to be replaced. Could this have been a factor? I really need answers. Keep it mind, I have driven this road for 40 years without an accident. I can't understand this with a new car and new tires.
While traveling at a speed of 45 MPH an individual pulled out into the middle of the roadway as I was traveling on and I struck them head on in the front driver's side door. Before the crash occurred, I was able to halt on the brakes and slowed the vehicle.. Because I was wearing a seat belt I only suffered minor injuries to my neck, chest, and legs. I drive a 2006 toyota corolla.

I was heading home from work traveling westbound on I-70 in the left lane and two deers ran in front of me from right to left. I collided with both deers in the left westbound lane , and then veered left and collided with the guard rail. The car sustained severe damage to the entire front and undercarriage and moderate damage to the driver and passenger sides. None of the airbags deployed. I hit my head on the steering wheel and suffered head contusions, head and neck injuries, and bruised my bladder from the seat belt, causing blood in my urine. The car has been declared a total loss.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 25 MPH on normal road conditions, the vehicle crashed and overturned. The contact did not remember any thing other than the air bags did not deploy. The contact sustained injuries, and did not know if the police was present at the scene. The vehicle was taken to a junk yard.
My husband and I were stopped at a red light when we were hit from behind and knocked at least one car length. We both suffer from whip lash. However my air bag warning light came on and stayed on but my air bags never deployed. What if this had been a head on collision would they have worked then to try and help save our lives.
