I was turning into a parking spot at my doctor's office when my car engine revved up and sped through the doctor's office nearly hitting my doctor and another patient. My airbags did not deploy. I had my foot on the brake but it did not stop the car. The automatic emergency braking system and forward collision warning did not work. My car had to be towed and is now waiting to see if it can be fixed but with the safety features that I paid extra for, I'm not sure that I would even buy a new one of this particular model. I came very close to killing my doctor and that patient!

Tl* the contact owned a 2018 toyota rav-4. While driving at 55 MPH, another vehicle failed to yield while turning into the left lane colliding into the contact's vehicle.

On a street turning left on green yielding to oncoming traffic. In motion of turning and the other car who was coming head on over 80mph clipping my front end making my car spin 360 degrees and air bags did not deploy.
I hit a deer traveling at 60mph+ while traveling on I-470. The airbag did not deploy, I did see an error on the status display of a safety system failure. The repair shop found the front sensor was crushed in the collision and amazed the airbag did not deploy. I am concerned this is a functional flaw with the vehicle and could risk the safety of occupants. I have photos of the vehicle if needed.
Vehicle was in a parking space; foot on brake. Went to shift the vehicle into park and it accelerated into the glass / building I was parked in front of. Air bags did not deploy.
