Our daughter was involved in a front end collision with another vehicle that ran a stop sign. Both vehicles were traveling approximately 20-25 MPH when impact occurred. My daughter's car was totaled due to front end/engine damage. The air bags (both) did not deploy. Why? The impact was great enough to cause bruises, soreness and a busted lip. What happened to the airbags?

I was decelerating with my right foot on the brake to stop at a red light. There was a car ahead of me at the light, and as I pulled up behind it, I put my right foot on the brake to come to a complete stop. When I hit brakes, I found that the car was not stopping and that the car was accelerating. I put both feet on the brake, and pulled the emergency brake but the car continued to accelerate until it ended up pushing on the car ahead of me. I did everything I could think of to stop the car, but was unable to do so until I turned the key off. As far as I know, there were no injuries, air bags didn't deploy, no tickets were issued and the bumpers of both cars were not dented, but had very deep scrapes on them. The mat was hooked at the time and was not involved and I didn't touch the gas. I had my husband follow me to my dealership, where I asked them to inspect the car and let me know if it was safe to drive. They refused to inspect it and referred me to my insurance company. I did that, but I also talked to toyota's service line in california and they said the best they could do was arrange for an inspection with results in appx 74 days. My insurance company had an independent inspection, but all he told me was that my accelerator was not "cable". The toyota company told me I could go ahead and have the body work done as long as the repairs did not have anything to do with the brake or the ignition. Police were called at the scene, but did not meet with us.

I backed my 2008 toyota corolla out of my garage, with the steering wheel turned left. I used the remote control to close the garage door. I put my foot on the brake and put the car in drive, intending to pull forward and to the right up the drive. I gently gave the car some gas, but the car accelerated suddenly before I could turn the wheel. As a result, the unstoppable car shot off the driveway and down a slope where I crashed head on into a tree. The airbags failed to deploy.
